[Mete001]

1999 BMW 316i Contour E36 Compact
2010 Alfa Romeo MiTo 120CV
2008 Volkswagen Golf GTi DSG (temporary!)

Then my 2012 BMW 116i which is coming in three weeks!

[kleach18]

94 Nissan Maxima
90 Mazda RX-7 GTU (hooked me to the secret world of rotary power)
90 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II (modded to 321 whp)
79 Mazda RX-7
83 Mazda RX-7 GSL
89 Mazda RX-7 Convertible
93 Mazda RX-7 (twin turbo)
04 Mazda RX-8
--Got Married had a kid---
07 VW Jetta
--Had another kid--
Currently have
10 Mazda CX-7 (cross-over SUV)
13 135i that I just picked up two weeks ago

I'm pretty sure I actually owned a few more rx7's but just for parts or short periods of time.

On a side note..... Mazda is developing the next rotary engine --16X
Rumor of a "next" RX7 based off the MX-5 platform but with a 300+ HP rotary in it..

In about 6 hours, it will be 11.

The G and E are forsale. I have a $50k offer on the G. That thing hold value so much better than my E60 M5.

The 135i will most likely go soon.

We do have big family. As both my parent drives too. We have 5 drivers. So not too bad.
