First car that was mine - 1965 Chevelle SS - believe it or not, given to me by my great grandmother when she lost her license. She drove kick ass cars.

First car i bought myself - 1986 Merkur XR4ti. Went to the LM dealer to look at a used 1984 318i. This was in late 1987 when they knew they were dumping the Merkur brand. They sold me the dealer demo XR4ti with 8,000 miles on it for $9,000. Sticker was $20,000 a year earlier. Fun car, about as reliable as a Jaguar. Something was always breaking.

Hey is that Micros at Madison? I was at that show last year!

1975 MGB that my dad and I restored for 2.5 years got when I was 14. Did everything you could imagine from engine, clutch, transmission, interior, full suspension, brakes, top, electricals, except the diff, and had the car painted. We even rewired the car to get rid of that Lucas, the Prince of Darkness, to a Quickwire, if you have an older British car I HIGHLY suggest it because I had very few electrical gremlins after that. It was all together and a new engine, had to have a second one because the first one put a rod through the block and took out the trans too, and two weeks later a lady slammed into me and too her away, God I miss that car, but I am glad to be alive after that accident.

Before I painted the rims, this is my homecoming night

And on 6/6/06....







And bitch that hit me....

[AutoXSS]

84 VW Rabbit diesel 5spd. Tan on Tan vinyl. I used to forget to plug it in on purpose on really cold winter days so i could have an excuse to sleep in(circa 1991). drove it for a couple of years and it eventually blew up in a plume of purple smoke. A friend of mine that i used to sk8 with bought it from me, rolled it while intoxicated, and drove it another couple of months. Dont know what ever happened to it

My first car was a brown metallic 1965 Ford Mustang with 122K on the clock, tired 289/2V automatic with Factory A/C.  I ripped out the A/C and rebuilt the engine.  I paid $300 for it....way back in 1973....My first BMW I bought this year is a White with tan/black interior 1991 318is M42 5 speed sunroof car with 206K on the clock...and still running like a top.

First was an 84 318i.  white two door passed on from my grandfather.  Day before i moved away to university my brother crashed it.  Picked up a 91 318 shortly after, had that for a few years til i hit a tree.  Bumper and hood were messed but car still ran beautifully.  i found another 318 for the price of a new hood, rad support and full front bumper.  had a bad interior but the outside was rust free.  $500 and then i just swapped the entire interior from one car to the other and parted out the original.

i've never owned anything besides an e30, and i'm pretty sure its going to be a long time before i try anything else.
