My Ride: 2008 BMW 535i- Steptronic Trans, Sirius Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, BMW Assist, Black Dakota Leather, Cold Weather Package, Premium Package
I dont know if my car history is that great....But here we go.
1985 Buick LeSabre (dad's old car) in Burgundy- The car I learned to drive in...
1998 Pontiac Grand Am SE in green- The car I drove back and forth to college/road trip vehicle, little brother got into a wreck...
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee- First car I got after I graduated college
And that brings me to my 2008 535i. I absolutely love it, wouldn't be driving anything else.

no.. fortunately i had grey interior.. whew.. if i had to sit in that blood red all day i would die... do you remember the heat that came out from the tranny?? it was sooo hot over it... in my car anyway.. i couldnt put anything near that (i had the hurst short throw) shifter it would melt it!!! i put flowmasters on it.. wheels..the bra obviously..k&n air filter.. lol.. crazy shit...what year was yours?
That right! I remember how hot the tranny got! I had straight pipes from the headers back. It was obnoxious (in the best way possible)
Mine was an 1988 and the red interior was pretty ugly

My Ride: 2010 VW Passat Wagon 2.0l Tsi
Grey/Grey Budapest 18"
Lost to HPFP issues:
08 535i sport pkg
Lost to Dreaded E61 Sun roof leaks:
07 E61 530Xi
ok hear is the list....
1980 volvo 240 gl wagon ( white, beige plether) family car
1993 ford taurus Police edition wagon ( baby blue with blue cloth) family car
1987 e30 325i 4dr (silver, sport pck, black leather, Ansa free flow, BAV cai, Dinan ecu) my first real car I owned
1987 w124 260e MB ( light blue , blue leather , basically a german taxi cab, but a fairly rare car in the USA, sucker was big and had tons of torque,after a Schreck cam was installed to replace the factory Misground cam shaft)
2004 VW R32 (my first NEW car, T. red , black cloth/leather interior, very rare car 5k imported to USA, 230 were t. red world wide, only 5% had the black cloth interior, APR ECU, Euro Projector Head lights, black out kit, EIP CAI, Race engine mounts, SS kit, Flapper modded exhaust, I was running close to 290 awd hp) Dad liked it so much he had me find him a Blue one and flew down to pick it up.
there were about 4 or 5 explorers that my mom had that I would use ( she did not drive much) but they were not worth bringing up
I paid for 1/2 of my wifes 2006 A4 3.2 sport sedan. It's stock, but she had a custom ordered exterior /interior direct from audi , Kinda a weird option package on it to. Tech pack, Nav, stock radio, Sun roof, Tip Tiptronic, quatro, 3.2 v6, Sport suspension but not the full S- line package, 18" "split" 5 spokes, sport stearing wheel, Up graded info console in dash,Heated seats not full winter package. Most dealers would not even touch it, due to some big ticket items but not loaded out, and the Arctic White on Light grey Interior combo.
The new ride I like a lot...
