I know that most people here have owned a laundry list of cars. Don't tell me about the 83 Buick LeSabre your parents gave you in high school (I wonder how I came up with that example.. :o). Just the good stuff. What interesting cars have graced your garagemahol?

For me:

63 Austin Healey Sprite
76 Corvette
87 325IS (modded)
87 928S 5spd Porsche
81 911SC Targa
98 Audi A4 1.8T quattro (modded)
2003 VW GTI 1.8T (modded)
2006 GTI w/ DSG transmission (current)

Notable in a good or bad way??

If in a bad way, then my 86 Jeep Cherokee takes number 1. That was a notable POS :) In a good way my 91 Civic Si. great car all around and never gave me a problem. Not to mention my E34, great car too.

Sorry about that, nah, she was single turboed . . .I just instinctively put two T's . . .

But the RB25 was at 380 and the 26 was at 450 to all wheels measured at Typhoon Motors.

I left my 87 Jeep Cherokee off the list for the same reason. What a steaming pile that thing was.

LOL! Sweet!
When asked about your most notable car ever, a Chevette comes to mind before the M5 or the 308! Awesome!
I think for me, the most fun car I've had was my '91 Nissan 240sx. That was a fun ride.

Yea I thought our fearless leader had some cool stuff, not a Chevette. What gives?

MachSchnell

It's a Chevette with a bus motor in it. :D The turbo hangs three feet above the roof.

Being serious, my most notable car is my Ferrari 308 and my Porsche 944 Turbo S. Both black and friggin fantastic. I've had the 308 for 7 years and the 944 for 4 years. I'll never sell either of them. The M5 is also notable, but she's my daily driver.

I wish I had an M5 as a daily. :D

Wow! Ferrari, p-car, and a set of bimmers. The ultimate uber car owner.

My six has to be the most noteable car I have owned. I just sold my other somewhat noteable ride, my Dodge Ram with a 6 inch lift and 38's all around. Its a red-neck thing. :rolleyes:

Mitch

11-02-2007, 07:34 PM

I thoroughly enjoy driving the M5 daily. It does things I never knew a sedan could do. The M5 does everything on a stellar level. At several points throughout my 7 year ownership I've had to daily drive the Ferrari on many occasions. Now that was fun! :)

HaHa!! No kidding. There are some of us up here in Chicano that would trade body parts for a car like hers. Wow! REALLY lookin' good.

There is just something wrong with that phrase Mitch! lol

I'm still proud of you for driving the Ferrari from Queens to Atlanta when you bought it. Balls.:cool:

Mitch

11-05-2007, 02:55 PM

Yep that is right, I bought the car in Queens, NY and drove it back to Atlanta. That was sooo much fun. I can drive the 308 anywhere in any type of weather, it is THAT reliable! :)

Philip

11-05-2007, 04:21 PM

Mitch do you have a 308 GTB or a 308 GTS? And what color is it?
And can I touch it?
