Great thread. Started with a Kawisaki GPZ 550, then a modded Yamaha SECA 750, an 1800 lbs modded '86 Civic SI,
a modded '94 Del Sol VTEC, a '88 MB 300E (Black/Palomino), a modded '99 MB C43 AMG (Black/Black)to my current modded '05 C55 AMG (Silver/Black). As a kid I had a '77 Ford Montega MX and some ancient Volvo.

Thanks

The main thing I miss from the M3 is the manual gearbox. I am looking at getting an slk55 in the near future, the only thing that is making me hesitate is the fact that I would like to go back to a manual

Before the C32:

2000 Audi A6 2.7T. Comfortable and quick. Transmission problems were its downfall.


Before that:

1991 Audi 90Q 20V. My first German car. I only truly appreciated it after it was gone. WAY WAY ahead of its time.


1987 Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo. Cheezy interior, but a fun car. Poor man's Alfa.

1976 Ford Torino. No comment.

NEW 08' M6 CAB, 06' 997 911 CS CAB, 09' RX350 AWD, 10' E350 4M, 10' Range Rover; FS: 04' C32 AMG= FS
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo - silver on grey... no leather, no sunroof but i had the V8 and a SWEET sound system. at that time gas was significantly cheaper. (< 1.50/gallon) on that car i used to get pissed when it would cost me over $30 to fill up my tank. which im not 100% sure but was at least 18-22 gallons max. i loved that car so much i might get the new one when my 06 ML350 lease is up (only 4 months to go )


to compare, at todays prices i just spent $61 on my C32 which only fills up <16 gallons at 3.999 for super (93 octane) at EXXON in LONG ISLAND

Man. Last car I owned was a '93 or '94 Infinity G20. I've been fortunate enough to roll around town in a company car for many years. Prior to the Infinity I owned a '91 Honda Accord. Prior to that it was a '76 Ventura and my first car was a '74 Ventura bought for $500.00 in I think it was '85.
