A beat-to-hell 1980 Subaru Wagon 4speed, 4door, no radio, no paint. Good times.

61 MGA. I wish I still had it.

1997 - Acura TL
1998 - Lexus RX300
2002 - Lexus GS400
2005 - BMW E90 330i

I still miss the V8 from GS400..... its just soooo powerful. However, I LOVE my E90, BMW does give an aggressive driver the whole package that he/she needs.

I got my first car in 1990. It was a 1978 FIAT 131 Super Brava in metallic blue. Kind of a cool car inside, fairly peppy around town, had some Pirellis on it. It was a good decent car until a chick rear-ended me putting on make-up. Pretty much totalled it (uni-body). I had to tie a chain around the rear end of the car and then to light post (and then punched it) so the fenders wouldn't rub on the tires. Drove it with a smashed rear end for about another 6 months and then she died. I loved that little car.

Did they ever sold FIAT in the US? Why did they leave?
