Yur car history?
... What cars have you guys owned? All along the same lines, or completely different?
here's mine...
MR2 Turbo (300 bhp monster!)
Race prepped Mk1 Astra (Absolute b-road stormer, and would happily follow scoobies all day long around Oulton Park curcuit!)
Audi A3 1.9 Tdi (130 bhp, but superchipped to about 160 bhp. A real hoot, for an oil burner!) No piccy!
Currently have the A4...........

RE: Yur car history?
Fun to reminisce....
First ride was the car dubbed "The Blue Poo," it is unfortunate I have no pictures but it was a blue 1980's Mercury Topaz XR-7. The XR-7 was the sport model; it had a speedo that barely reached 85mph, automatic seatbelts that would constantly move, and so much more. It was great at a local park, I would angle it down some stairs and grind the hood... it was at perfect height.
Finally, after switching between cars (a pink Saturn and an Explorer) I got my 1994 B3 VW Passat. I loved this thing like no other and I bought it with my own money... my first major purchase. This thing was trash now that I look back on it. So many problems that I dont know where to start. I remember loving the car because it was soo unique... no one had one where I lived. I had always like the boxy euro style from the 80s and this was like the sexy version of it (I thought). I thought it was also tight because it didnt have a grill. I had so many plans for this car... but I found out when I had saved a bunch of money that it had huge engine problems. I tried to fix a few, wasted a bit of money and saw it as a lost cause... you gotta kill your babies, sometimes.
Juggled a few cars around then decided on a few key cars: Merc 190E Cosworth, Subaru WRX, VW Corrado (like I hadnt learned my lesson), MKIII GTI, and then a B5 A4. I narrowed it down that I wanted AWD, so it was between the WRX and the A4. I just couldnt turn my back on European styling and engineering... and the WRX was way too much money. So I have my A4... thats about it.

Yep, it's true. I used to drive a Honda. I'm feeling better now although I had some great times with that car. VTEC YO! Hahaha.
