Okay here goes..
'77 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce - Terminal Body Rot
'84 VW Quantum GL5 Wagon - BIG mistake
'85 Honda Prelude DX (The Little Honda that Could)
'88 Acura Legend L Coupe (5-speed, fast, but oh the torque steer)
'89 Honda Accord LX - Slow, American-made, never the same after the accident..
'94 Mazda Miata - Sold to my mother-in-law
'92 Audi 100CS Quattro Avant - Audi makes a gorgeous car, but thank GOD it had a warranty!
'89 VW Cabriolet - Don't ask.
'84 BMW 533i - Fast, fun, cost me $1000 every time I looked at it
'99 VW Jetta Wolfsburg - feh.
'91 300E 2.6 - Pretty, slow, wierd FI issues.
'70 Fiat 850 Spider - The Disposable Sports Car!
'95 Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon - Stupid Fast, got bored.
'84 300D/T - Slowly headed to its new home, GREAT CAR!
'97 BMW 328iC - In 5-speed may have been woth my time, just a car otherwise, and the power top was a disaster..
'01 Saab 9-5 - Neat car, love the styling, didn't need a $30K car..
'95 Accord Wagon - Great at what it does, anonymously
'70 BMW 2800 - Near mint, original, TERRIFIC car!
'90 300CE - en route... Who knows?
Whoever it was that said that he didn't buy the Audi because of the anticipated repair costs - DEAD RIGHT! It was a wonderful car to drive, if not a little slow, beautiful interior - I like all the gauges, and I really liked the red glow, but mechanically it was a symphony of smells and warning lights.
Now what's on your WISH LIST (speaking realistically, not cars that cost more than HOUSES!!)?
My (somewhat esoteric) list includes:
Early Porsche 911
Alfa GTV
560SEC (or a super-clean 500SEC Euro)
300SEL 6.3
BMW M5 (Any generation)
R129 300SL 5-speed
98-99 E300TD
'01 BMW 740i Sport
300CE/E320C Cabriolet
VW Jetta TDI Wagon
...and a lot more I can't even think of right now
