I miss the BMW the most, and got rid of the G because of my 2 year old son and 10 month old daughter....

Tell me about it I complain to my wife every day......I will keep this another 3 years and then buy the new m3 sedan or older M5. I have to be discipline and own this thing for a while though...The kids forced me out of the G...

2006 CLK350 Cabriolet Previous: W203,W202,W201, 2 Porsche 914s, 1965 Jaguar XKE Roadster
I'll admit, it took me a little while to come to my senses, but here's my car history in its schizophrenic order...
1965 Jaguar E-Type Roadster (my first car, I was 16, the rust was so bad, you could see the street going by under the car through the holes in the floor)
1972 Porsche 1.7 liter Targa
1975 Porsche 2.0 liter Targa
1983 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz (essentially, a 502 cubic inch motorize sofa)
1988 Mercedes 190E (Black)
1996 Mercedes C220 (Black)
2004 Mercedes C230 Kompressor Sedan (Black)

then i think i was around my second year of college when i got this
1984 190e
then there was a 1993 jeep grand cherokee in there after the 190 for about 5 years before i had this bought it in 2003 with 50,000 miles and trans died at 196,000 miles almost made it to 200k
1998 c230 regular 4 banger no kompressor

My gas sipping C-Class
I kept the GTI after buying the 2005 C230, but sold my Jeep Wrangler.
I then sold the GTI about 8 months later, and used that money to open a 2nd business.
The gti was daily driven 320hp & 340ft/lbs and weighed 2850lbs. It consistantly walked away from just about any car I came up against.
I still own this, but it's for sale. I've driven it twice in the past 18 months. The car is awesome, but since we had our first child, the wife and I don't head out for Sunday drives anymore.
