My cars:
(- Audi 100 and many similar sized cars, I always played with cars)
1) Renault Nevada --> We didn't really need a car at that time. But by coincidence I could buy this one for 250 Gulden (~€110). The Nevada stood at a farm for 2 years, and it was not clear what the status was. I decided to buy it as it didn't cost anything. It turned out to be a lucky shot as it was a reliable, very spacious and very basic car with no problems for 2 years (I then sold it for much more)
2) Citroen XM --> One of the nicest cars I've owned, but certainly not the most reliable. Everything was strange and nice about this car, and as I had the very first production series, it felt and behaved like a prototype. The ride was fabulous, although it was definitely underpowered.
3) Citroen Xantia type I --> OK car, only had it for a couple of months. It had a 1800cc engine and an LPG installation, not a good combination.
4) Citroen Xantia type II --> A much better car. Drove it to 300kkm, also on LPG.
5) Citroen C5 exclusive --> Despite the negative perception people have about the C5, mine was a troublesome car with a lot of luxury. A very comfortable ride with a lot of space and gadgets. I sold it because I could lease a company car, otherwise I would have kept it for 1 or 2 more years and then probably buy a 2nd hand E60.
6) A BMW E60 --> My 1st new car, and obviously the best ride of all of them.

Never been into taking pics of my cars. These are the ones I've owned:
1988 Ford Mustang GT
1994 Ford Thunderbird
2002 SAAB 9-3 Convertible
2004 SAAB 9-3 Sedan
Not as an impressive list as a lot of members, but I'm sure it will grow with time.

My Ride: 2007 530i Olivine Green w/ Beige leather interior, 6 spd manual, premium package, comfort access, cold weather package, heated rear seats.
2005 Acura MDX Touring Sage Brush Pearl w/ NAV, running boards, roof rack
1993 325is Calypso Red w/ Parchment leather interior, 5 spd manual. (Sold Nov 06)
Drove a 77 Dodge Aspen in college...it stalled whenever it rained. Had it for 5 years.
In 1987 I bought a new Honda Accord.
The Honda was totaled in an accident in 1993 and I bought a 1993 325is to replace it. Went to Munich to pick it up in October 1993. I drove that car until 2006 when I replaced it with the E60 I drive now. I still get pangs of sorrow when I see the same model and color driving around town and wish I had kept it. But, it was impractical to keep two cars....and I love my E60.
