09 C63 AMG, 03 C320 Sport Coupe 96 Mustang
Here's my history (reverse order)

2003 - 03 C320 SC
1997 - 96 Mustang Vert (V6)
1990 - 88 Mazda RX-7 turbo
1986 - 86 Mustang notch (5.0L)
1985 - 66 Mustang coupe (6 cyl)
1983 - 80 Honda Accord (bio-degradable body...)
1980 - 76 Mustang (302)
1978 - 73 Datsun B210 (POS)

I love the C320 Coupe for its quickness and agility
I love the Mustang cuz its a nice convertible (and it'll be quite a bit faster when I get new heads and a Vortech SC on it this spring)

I really miss the RX-7 Turbo - it was really fast and handled exceptionally well...

Hey, bad spelling, but I like the car.

Was it a wagon, in the USA? The sedans weren't sold in N America after 1970 or so (1974 in Europe).

I've owned at least one 404 since 1981, great cars!

Especially the Pininfarina-bodied 404 Coupés and Cabriolets with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection!

2002 E55, Black on Black
Recent to oldest

02 BMW 325ci sport
98 BMW 540i sport
00 Porsche Boxster S
98 BMW 328i
92 BMW 318is
87 Ford Taurus SHO (fun POS)
86 Toyota Supra Turbo targa (my favorite)
78 BMW 733i


Unfortunately, at 3200 miles my C320 has had more unscheduled dealer/shop visits so far than all of the above except the 78 733i, which spent more time in service than on the road (but it had 110,000 miles on the ODO when I bought it), and the SHO, which went through new clutches every 6000 miles or so (all under warranty -- Ford could never get a proper tranny to match the awesome Yamaha engine).

no one ever really gives at **** until you have a nice garage the size of a basketball court....to put your BENz's and Ferrari's in...

Otherwise yah no one really gives a **** if you park maybach on the street with a Patrol Gaurd and a car cover And run up to your 1 bedroom apartment....

yes, no one really gives as **** anyways...cuz you might be able to be buried under your house....or buried with your benz...
