Last year of production so it had the Chrysler pentagram on the fender and the egg crate grill. As I recall it was #430 of 477 built. It had a 289 with 302 heads, Ford Top loader with jag Salisbury rear end. It had a hurst shifter and other than that it was pretty stock. It made all the right noises and was pretty quick, no power steering or brakes so you had to pay attention. A great car, that was fun to drive and always got lots of attention. I sold it to buy my 996 which was a mistake in retrospect.

[WhiskyPat12]

I'm on mobile so there won't be many pics...

Kinda first... A 94 Honda Accord Seafoam Green(looked blue/sliver). A family car that three teenage boys each learned to drive on. My parents still have it, it's been in 4 minor accidents, brother got a dui in it, has 230k miles, and has a door a different color now. Champion.

First car I bought myself at 18 was a 94 Acura Legend. Had about 90k miles on it. It was green with gold emblems. It was stolen and stripped. I eventually got the body back, but it was trashed beyond repair.

Replaced that with a 98 GMC Sierra 4x4. Nothing special.

Sold the Sierra and got a 2002 GMC Yukon from my fam. Gas guzzler but it was my first vehicle with heated seats. Totally to much for just me to drive around to community college and the girlfriends apartment.

Gave the Yukon back to fam, and got a white 2008 Lexus IS250. It was my future wife's car originally, we were already living together and it was a better fit for my driving schedule. First pic has this car in it.

My first ever brand new car was next. 2014 Lexus IS350 F-Sport. It was Black with red interior (synsetech not leather). I loved that car. It wasn't the fastest (306hp) but it was new, had bells and whistles, and I'd wanted a red interior since I was a kid.

2016 rolls around and the Lexus has almost 100k on it, so time to change up before it hits that mark. I've decided to get a 2 door while still young and can climb in and out of it. Test drove Audi S5, Lexus RC350, and a BMW 440i. Wife already her first X3 (she's on her 3rd now). Holy shit the 440i blew the others out of the water. Ended up getting a Mineral Grey, Red Leather interior that was down in So Cal on a lot. It was shipped up to Nor Cal and it was a blast to drive for a few years.

Dec 2019 was time to upgrade again. We have moved to New England from CA and I needed to replace the 440i RWD with an AWD option. Enter the M340ix. This is the first car I ordered to the spec I wanted, instead of something off the lot. Wanted something other than black, white, or grey so I went with Portimao Blue. Took delivery about 3 weeks. It's amazing! Love the color and it's so much fun to drive.

Last picture is current garage. Wifey's third X3 (an M40i and each have been white) and my M340i. It's like the same car since it's got the same engine lol

Yea , I have a problem. Some of the cars I bought new I grew tired of in 3 - 6 months and moved on. my wife gives me a lot of grief about the money I wasted. You only live once.

I just happened to be organizing pictures and came across a pic of the car I had in high school that didn't last long because it blew up.

Wow, same here. Too many cars to remember and 3 wives. 3rd one is a charm!

You sir are correct. When I was a young policeman I was told you weren't a real copper until you got divorced.....that's number 3 next to the 993, she told me to buy it....damn women get better with age.

[SherM4n]

A paltry list compared to most here:

1. '02 Audi TT ALMS Edition. First car purchased after college (although I was very grateful for the 5-speed '98 Hyundai Accent my parents had very graciously gifted me, it lacked an air conditioner and another summer was coming up). Still have it.



2. '03 Hyundai Elantra GLS 5-speed. Work car to keep the TT out of the public lots. I ended up having a lot of fun in it, as its limits were much more approachable than any of the sporty cars I've had, and that's what makes driving fun to me. Had it for 12ish years until I gave it to my girlfriend when her Mini Cooper developed engine scoring. A deer jumped in front of it months after that, and we sold it to the tow truck driver for $100.



3. '07 Audi RS 4. This engine, mein Gott. A wonderful car, but it developed a coolant leak the dealer said didn't exist. Had it from 2007-2015.



4. '12 Audi TT RS. Took a bit of getting used to, as I expected a stronger, faster version of my beloved '02, but it was a totally different car. Had some brake issues on track, but very quick and confidence-inspiring. Still have it.



5. '15 BMW M4 6MT. The car that replaced the RS 4. My first BMW, it was a bit of a stripper since I wasn't sure I'd like it and the options packages at the time combined a bunch of things I didn't want with the things I wanted. Turned into my favorite car. Had it from 2015-18.



6. '18 BMW M4 6MT. The M4 was great, but then BMW came out with some better options packages, a power bump, and a bit of a revised suspension, and that gave me the excuse to correct the biggest flaw with the 2015 car: the gray paint. It was a sharp color, but after a couple years I really missed red. So now this is my favorite car.
