ouch your monster got stolen?

what ins did you have? and was it a smooth check cutting process?

i just sold my sv650 for the 1 but have always wanted a 995 monster...

[pgr135i]

wow! Compared to all the cars in this thread, mine is the least exotic (boring, actually):

1993 Honda Accord!

I bought it as my first car as I just got out of college. The idea was to use it for a few months, until I can earn enough money to buy a new car; and in the mean time I can look around to see which car I really WANT.

And then three freakin years went by! I couldn't make up my mind as to which car to buy: I loved M3 but it was too expensive. I knew I wanted to buy the 135 the first day I heard rumors about its US release.

Meanwhile, the Accord is running as strong as ever.

I bought my first car the summer before my first year of college. 1990 Lincoln Towncar. It was a friggin monster, I nick named it M1 (after the tank not the car :biggrin. All I needed was the gun on top a little armor and it would be identical! Thing crapped out on me every other month.

After a year and a half of driving it and 9 or so problems I bought my current DD, a 1995 Buick LeSabre that has been running like a gem. Had it just about 9 months and only had a slight problem with the starter that I just had rebuilt for under $100. Going from a '95 Buick to a 135i and I can't wait!

If anyone is interested in the Buick LMK! It was far ahead of its time way back in '95 :wink:

[ebrown0104]

Wow, I'm kind of embarrassed to be here... I own a Cavalier, LOL! It was my first car, and so far, it's the only car I've ever owned (7 years now). Some days I hate it, some days I'm indifferent, and some days I think that I'll feel bad when I trade it in on a 128i.


Yea, I did take it out on the Daytona International Speedway, though. Beat that suckas


I have owned 3 bikes in three years, though. Here's a picture of my current bike, 03 V-Rod:

Man, I love this thing. It's got comfort, it's got looks, and it's got balls. Unfortunately, it won't be paid off until December, which means I gotta wait until then to get my 1.

I noticed a lot of people here have SV's, I had one until last July, which is when I sold it to buy the Rod:

I had some stuff done to it, GSXR forks, exhaust, cam swap (SV guys will know what I'm talking about), etc. Fun bike, and it sounded GOOD, like a Ducati for 1/4 of the price.

And my first bike, a Ninja 500:

I bought it new (BAD IDEA!) and beat the hell out of it. I was 19 and never rode before in my life. I dropped it at least 5 times, almost died on it once, and put on the exhaust and never re-jetted, so it did not run very well at all. Plus, it was the loudest bike I've ever heard, and not in a good way. I was happy to trade it in for the SV, especially since it was an even trade.


Coming soon: 09 128i, Alpine white/Sport package :wink:

Plus I am pretty bitter that subaru seems to have gone completely retarded with their latest styling queues. I honestly would rather have a yaris hatchback as far as looks go then the sti hatch...


Anyway.

Thats exactly how I feel.

[pheller]

'89 Jeep Cherokee
'00 Jeep Cherokee

Most recently:

'03 VW Jetta GLS 1.8t, probably the most complete de-federalization effort on a North American Jetta, and APR Stage 3+ along with a truckload of other suspension / performance related stuff. Puts ~ 330 to the wheels, and ~ 320 ft lbs of torque, but the curve is pretty steep. Pretty much all of that torque is between 3000 and 5000 rpm.
