Since everybody wanted to see pix of my CLK55 AMG that's long gone, I'll also post a few pix of my other cars I had. Only a few that still existed.

The following cars I previously owned and a bit of history:

2000 Lexus RX300 (My first actual car since I was 16. I brought it with me until college)
1991 Mazda MPV (daily driver when I was 17. I dunno why I really liked that car. Got rid of it later for a del Sol)
1993 Honda del Sol Si (My first MT car. Had it when I was 17 and had a girl who got her license for less than 30 days driving an Expedition rear end me totalling my car AND sending me and my friend to the hospital)
2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII (It was my dream car since EVO V!! I was in Buffalo in college. I was one of the first to own one in Buffalo LOL. Drove it to Toronto too! I get stares like a Lamborghini! A LOT of car for the money! $30K and dumped less than 10 grand in mods to make it look and drive so much better! I was putting down around 340WHP)

The above cars were not purchased with my money. All parent's money. The cars below are ALL purchased using my OWN hard-earned cash!

2003 CLK55 AMG (FIRST car I actually bought with my own money. I flew to Atlanta from Buffalo and drove it back. I was working in Buffalo after I graduated.)
1999 Mitsubishi Galant (Wanted to use it for a daily driver but the car was so shitty I left it as a storage. Donated the car in the end)
2006 Scion xA (Amy always wanted a white Corolla and I always hated the Corolla. Bought a Scion xA instead. STILL HAVE THE CAR!!!)
2005 545i Sport 6 speed (traded the CLK55 AMG for the car. Loved it. I always wanted a 5 series ever since the e39 540i sport)
1999 Audi A6 Avant 2.8 (POS car lasted me a few months. I did drive it VERY hard though. Traded it in afterwards.)
2002 Audi Allroad 2.7T (I still have this car and love it. It has the power and torque and you'll be amazed! I had a 740iL the other day try to pass me at 90 mph. I didnt even downshift. 6th gear and I took off and he was in my rear view)
2008 BMW M5 (The super ULTIMATE driving machine. Doesnt drive as smooth and as "fun" as my 545i but the power is nice and the interior is amazing. Amy said, if I ever want to sell it, I better not cuz she can drive it. LOL. I plan to keep this V10 forever in the garage. DID NOT expect to buy the car)
