My Ride: 2011 550i; Alpine White/Black Dakota/MSport/SAT/IAS/Driver Assistance/ConveniencePkg/Prem Pkg 2/4 Zone AC/Side-Top Cameras/HUD & Black panel/BMW Apps-iPhone 4 Media/M Decklid spolier /Ventureshiled clear bra/ V1 -Ordered 4/9/11, Production 4/19, Shipped on Martorell 4/23,Arrived Port Hueneme 5/19,Delivered 5/21/11
1977 VW Rabbit - Got me from here to there, totally unreliable, but had factory sunroof 
1984 Honda Acccord LX coupe 5spd- First NEW car!! Did I ever make sure she was celan and waxed, but got bored pretty quick.
1987 Honda Accord LXI 4Dr 5 spd - Much better than the first accord. put 200k miles on with nary a single problem
1990 Nissan Maxima SE Auto - GREAT car, thought this was it. Terrific lines, power, and bulid / reliability quality. Put on Fittipladi star rims, looked sharp. Loved that car. Bequeathed to my fiancee at 150K miles, ran for another 50K till we replaced the tranny and sold it.
1993 E36 BMW 325iA sport - WOW, this beemer was the most fun ride I've had so far. Loved taking it around sweeping on ramps at 70MPh. Black on Black is a badass fact. Sold @ 175K miles, missed it ever since
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 Quadradrive (Wifes car) - Lotsa fun having a SUV. Bought right before first son born. Loved taking on road trips. sold @100K miles to a guy from Tijuana. Probably a TAXI now.
2001 Audi A6 2.7T sport auto - hate to say it, but I settled for this when the BMW dude wouldnt give me the deal I wanted on a 530i. Had buyers remorse for 4 years. Still an OK ride, but awful suspension and terribly unreliable. Beautiful interior. Put on lower sport springs and Oettinger rims to ease my pain. sold @ 92K
2004 Acura MDX entertainment/luxury pkg - Wifes current rig. Arguably the best value for mid size SUV. Whole family loves this car. No problems after 65K miles and great for the family road trips.
2005 E60 545iA sport- First factory ordered car. This forum Huge help. What can I say. Best car I've ever had. Drive 20K miles per year with a happy smile, and eager right foot. Lease is up in July '08, 550i sport likely Aug.

The frist two cars I started driving with my father's cars
1968 Merceces 250S: staid german engineering and luxury, became mine on obtaining drivers licence
1972 Jaguar XJS: Real luxury and performance you never forget
1980 Toyota Corolla: Great fun, did anything you wanted. Had the 3TC 1800cc engine that still lives on in a Lada taxi. Undeniable Toyota reliability
1985 Chev S10 pick-up: Built as they say, comfortable for a 4x4.
1990 Ford Sierra Ghia: The DOHC engine and auto were a great combination. Excellent suspension and brakes made fast motoring on winding country roads a blessing. Mom and kids comfy and daddy happy.
1995 Peugeot 405: Reminds you that the primary use of a car is transportation. Is it that I don't speak French, or that I don't understand French
1995 Jeep Cherokee 4L: So this is what the suv feel and a big american engine is all about. Pay no attention to the uncomfortable seats, poor mileage(you actually see the fuel guage move in 4WD), or wishy washy steering; it is the best for off roading, climbs everything- quarries, canals, etc.
2000 Mitshubihi Spacewagon: A true Mommys car. More kids and loads for the weekend run. Did what it was supposed to without complaint, surprising still nimble for those fast mountain roads.A good 5 years, bit it still was a ....
2004 Audi A6, 3.2Lquattro: If I could write in hushed tones you will understand. Awesome car, 125 mph and touch the pedal a little more and it gears down for a lot more uumph. The growl and feel of that engine made my wife feel young again, but the rear seat still not empty yet.
1999 Ford F150: What was I drinking or smoking. America's best selling Truck! "Adios"
2004 BMW 525: Did not take my breath away in early driving experience as the Audi. Ohh, its when I slap it into DS mode that power, the nimble movements and the cat -like pounces in traffic occurs. Very good. The more you drive a BMW is when you like it more, putting around takes away from the expeience I tell my wife. Unfortunaetly she now notices how fast I drive, the active steering makes the little "quck" maneovers elict strong warnings, the approach of every corner produces beads of sweat and a quiet prayer. I think I may not be able to keep both wife and BMW. (She loves it when she's in the drivers seat)
