In order:

1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass: It once tangled with a semi truck. The semi truck didn't drive away; the Cutlass did.
1981 Chevrolet Suburban: What can't you put in a Chevy Suburban?
1970 Plymouth Fury III convertible: Highway gears, convertible top, and more flat surface than the USS Forrestal
*1969 Dodge Coronet: An excellent example of the height of automotive design... applied to a grocery getter.
1999 Dodge Dakota R/T: Some people say V8's the only way to go. Some people say forced induction is better. I did both on this one...
*1995 Mazda Miata: Autocross beater
*2003 Dodge Ram: Tow rig
*1995 Mazda Miata (yeah, another one): Daily driver
*= I still own it.

I've got a buyer lined up for one of the Miatas to make space for a 135i. Nope, nothing in that list that'd even hint at a BMW being my next car...

I find it odd that you would get rid of the STi in favor of two rwd coupes. I like the practicality of a sedan and awd, which is why I will be keeping my WRX in addition to my 135.

You need a 2nd car?

However those wheels are no longer with the car.

ehh I like my sti, but honestly the problem with it is that the thing sounds like its falling apart. I like the handling the performance etc... but the suspension is rough. HIt a teeny tiny bump and it sounds like its going to self destruct. I want a bit stiffer than wrx and a much higher quality interior.

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.
