Started with a 2002 Celica GTS. Might be where my love of foreign/high revving cars came from. Totaled going to fast around a turn.

Then went to a E36 M3 while in highschool/college.

E46 M3 in med school.

After a few months in residency and saving up i sold the M3 and got a GTR. Also got a beat up hail dented salvaged corolla to daily.

Done with residency and got an outpatient clinic job. got rid of the corolla. missed having a manual so much i got an FRS. One test drive and i was sold.

Test drove a viper (5th gen) and was blown away how awesome it was. Thought about it but i wanted to trade up at this point and not make a lateral move in the car world. Went to vegas for a medical conference. booked some track time with a 458 and GT3 while down there. The 458 was down when i got there, so they gave me a huracan instead. After driving those i felt like i had to dump the GTR for a real sports car

I love the GT3, but during this time only the 991.1 was out. And they didn't offer a manual. So I thought well, if i gotta be stuck with DCT, why not go all out? The 458 was reliable and had already taken nearly 30% of its depreciation at this point. so thats what i went with. I figured i'd only lose about 10k a year in depreciation. Mclarens were having problems and depreciating HARD.

The FRS was wearing on me with a primarily highway commute. It wasn't the right tool for the job. Traded in for an F30 335 after 9 months.

335 was so boring when you turned traction off and tried to push it. No diff to hold a slide, ran out of breath up top. The ZF8 was slow to respond to inputs.

Figured i'd rather take a cheap beater to work from here on out. My buddy had a similar formula. old camry for work, S4 for around town, and weekend racer was a built Rx7.

Bought a 6000 dollar civic. 55k miles and its now at 90k without any issues. Sold the 335i and bought a F80 6 speed.
