My 1st car was '88 Camry with worn suspension.

'96 180sx, loved it, still regret selling it but could not afford $14,000 to keep it running, I drove that car A LOT and hard.

2006 350Z Hated it, regret buying it, turned me off nissan. lesson learnt, never get a friend to test drive a car for you.

I started with BMW at an early age. First car was a POS Pontiac, but then acquired a 1988 E30 M3. I drove that through high school all the while doing maintenance updates with my father's help. I joined the Navy in 1999 and was stationed in Japan. My cars were: Honda Type R, Skyline R32, and a Toyota Rumion all in Japan. My last car in the states before my second tour in Japan was a Nissan Maxima sport and my motorcycle was a 2008 Aprilia Tuono.

[Sedan_Clan]

I started with a '94 Ford Escort, 3 Honda Civic's (..a '98 HX that was stolen, a '97 EX and a '00 EK hatch that was completely done over with a motor swap, Type R interior, GS-R brakes, etc. etc.) and a '93 FD RX-7.....


....then I saw the E36 M3 and was sold. My first BMW was a brand new '02 330ci that I purchased when I was 22-ish. Ten BMW's and one Infiniti G35 later, and I'm still hooked.

[Houcheimi]

2004 Nissan Maxima (Personally believe one of the best cars for its price, loved the space!)
2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD (Reliable, luxury sport sedan, would probably still take it over any 328 sedan when it comes to looks and they hold their value better)
2005 BMW X5 (Great SUV but too many problems occurred)
2007 BMW 328XI Coupe (Needed AWD, didn't have the 335 coupe in AWD in 07, but by far the best car I've owned and still have, love everything about it)
2009 Infiniti G37XS (Nice rumble, great price, but still no BMW!)

Next car with hopefully be an 09 M3 or 09 ISF
