2. Mk 1 VW's
Image

3. Datsun 510's

Ive owned 2 of these, a 1984 GTI with a JH headed ABA running on CIS-e and a mostly stock 1973 volvo 145. both were POS's unfortunately. next car I get will be a really nice german rabbit, a really nice '68-70 142, or a decent 510 wagon or 2 dr. whichever comes along first.
post your favs!! :)

You and I share the same taste in cars. Gimme a 2.0 16V, in a MK1, and I promise good times.

But you left out the Elise. I need to own one of these someday.

thats a great engine in a mk1. one of those or a 1.6TD would be my engine of choice.

I like the passats, all years.. Something about them.
I also like the chrysler new yorker.. comfy, boatish, gets up and goes.
Toyota 4runners excite me as well.. but then again, so do Escalade EXTs, with AWD and 22" spinnarz.

I saw a really nice new blue M3 on campus today, it had the dual exhaust and looked like a body kit of some kind.

does the big six bolt into an e30? that would be a sweet ride.

I looked into other options when I found that my car was rusing through in like 6 more spots than I thought and really liked that idea.

They have all sorts of neat conversion kits and stuff, if I had a BMW I'd live there.

BRE paint scheme has to be one of the hottest evAr for the 510. 8)
Ive come close to buying a 510, but it was a bone stock, non running 4dr with plenty of rust and a crappy racing stripe at $1500 firm. :roll:

86-87 Turbo Buicks are awesome, I been wantin one of those for years... What else... R33 and R34 Skylines of course, and MK4 Supras. First gen Camaros/Firebirds are sweet. Just about anything RWD and pre '75 is cool.

I was wiating for you to chime in with the turbo Buicks.
