BMW FOR EVER
as highlander said "there can only be one"! ( and then i had about 16 of them in different configerations) chrysler 69 VF Valiant sedan mushroom beige 225 slant auto 1 owner, immaculate condition $400.00au. brings tears to my eyes that she is not here any more. (dodge for yuall in the states)
Started driving in 1971 bought a 1961 VW Beetle, lasted 6 weeks before squishing it, next was 1963 VW Beetle, 1971 Chevelle, (drove it for 12 years) then took a vacation in Germany (1984) and been driving BMWs ever since - '79 320i, '85 325e, '85 528e, and the present '93 525i.
Mine was a 64' Karmann Ghia. I loved that car but my drums wouldn't fit in it so I sold it for a Toyota pickup. I knew I would eventually go back to a German made car.

My first was a Saab three cyl 2 stroke, (called it my Thalidimide Porsche),,,GD thing would sometimes start backwards,,so that reverse was 1st gear. The seats were torn to sh*t, and all the seat stuffing would come out and stick to you,,,getting out of the car, id look like a flocked christmas tree.
(for the benefit of younger ones here,,,Thalidimide was an old medication given for infertility,,that was notorious for causing ghastly birth defects,,,like being born with only one really short leg, and no arms. Kinda what those old Saabs looked like (newer ones too, for that matter)
82' yellow toyota tercel (w/ trunk) - great car.
Second was a grey '86 325es - also a great car, most comfortable seats i've ever had (cloth sports seats).
First Car was a 1980 320i, bought when I was 17 and it was 14. My favorite episode was when the exhaust broke just behind the cat and I got to drive around without a muffler for 2 weeks!!
The engine and transmission are still sitting in my parent's garage, but I have NO idea what to do with them.
