Post up your small sports car or track car...

The E55 value thread inspired me to start this ....what's your other car?

I purchased my Garage Queen the summer of 2009 from the original owner who was cleaning out one of his collection garages (very wealthy retired man down in Georgia). I purchased the car for $22,600 and I am getting offers for $35K+ from collectors. I will NEVER sell this car.

The car literally still smells brand new.

It's a 2000 Sunroof delete, Imola Red on Imole/Black interior, 5spd.
22400 original miles.

1 of 9 in this color combo with sunroof delete for the year 2000 in all US states.

This IS my pride and joy and I only drive on perfect, clear sky days. The amount of stares and waves and awe-looks I get is amazing. My 3-year old absolutely loves the car, it's like driving a go kart on the streets

Here are a few pics the day I purchased her and drove her for the first time, love this car.

Clown car FTW.

Was at the SCCA races this weekend and the better half took a few rides and now wants a track car. How can I say no!?????

Love the clownshoe definitely a classic. Here's my track car E46 M3 full bolt-ons, all bushings replaced with poly, coilovers, bunch of other suspension mods, weight reduction, etc. Cage and recaros going in next month. Planning on picking up a 911 turbo or CLK black next year as new track/weekend car.

If I'm going to a track that requires turning, it's on this. Probably as big a money pit as many of the cars I've owned!

Love the Duc! My good weather ride is an 07 SV650. Not on the level of your Duc, but it's been a good bike to learn on.

My c5 frc I sold when I bought my s600. Trying to decide on my next "fun" car. Thinking either z4m, 996 turbo or maybe a factory five 65 coupe.

I'm still a student so my second car is more of my daily while the 55 is my toy but this is my E34 that I'm sort or restoring when I have time and the 55 doesn't take up all the funds.

Only a fiberglass hood is left. Pretty simple actually. What you see there is pretty much what you get.

1800lbs and 400hp. It's gonna be a fun little toy.

Been riding bikes since I was 11. I've owned everything from dirt bikes to quads, cruisers, ATC's... you name it. But this thing is (by far) the most enjoyable bike I've owned.
Plan on taking it to the track when the weather gets above 70.
