84 Chevy Z28, CRAZY 355 built by a friend at Hendrick's Racing here in CLT (fav motor of all time, the cylinder and head work was amazing... those guys are gods), race prepped TH400, lots of go-fast parts. Worked at Super Shops at this time so I got parts really cheap and lots of free help.
87 Mustang GT, stock, first brand new car. Kept it 48 days, sold it and decided to finigh college. Stupid purchase.
68 Camaro, mostly stock.

Not sure that long a post is permissible,lol!
I gotta search the rapidly eroding memory bank(s), and take some
notes before I get at this. The good news is I had a long succession of company furnished vehicles from '75 until I bailed in 2000, so that reduces the list for 15 years. I'll work on it; good post question. The lists thus far are interesting. BR,md

OK, don't ANY of you keep your cars more than one or two years?!? Holy crap, folks!! I am shocked at how often most of you get a new car!! I mean, good for you... and kudos to all of 'ya, but, wow!! :wow:

(And, yes, I had an '02 Benz which I traded in for my '03 X5, but we did that to take advantage of the Section 179 tax break; otherwise, I think I'd still be driving that Benz. Very glad I bought the X, though :D )

JV

I loved that C-Class, though... great car. Solidly built, luxurious, great gadgets... it was a very good car.

Juan

I was thinking the same thing. :rofl:

When I buy a car - I tend to keep it for a long time. Lease - well, its 3 years and out.

:iagree: but I did hear a lot of peers calling the MB "old man's car" when I had one. :wtf:

Yeah, I must admit I actually do like many Mercedes. The C is one of the ones I think I'd enjoy.

so um, about that bug... :D

Dude, I looked like I was 20 when I was 13, so my neighbor, Mr. Sood, let me and his son Raj use that beetle to deliver the Washington Post on our paper route, just through the neighborhood. It was perfect, the car had the crank-operated sunroof, and we'd chuck the papers out of it onto the doorsteps.

TheOl'Guy'sCarList
 

-1952 Ford Coupe Flathead V8, 3 on the tree (my first fooking car in 1963!)
-1955 Chevrolet BelAir 265 CI V8; 1st year for the smallblock V8, backyard motor modded on & off, for 3 years. Great,haulazz Woodward Ave. & dragstrip car.('64 to 'early '67).
-'64 Falcon Sprint 260 V8 4 Spd. ('67ish) Underrated.
-'62 pea green VW Bug ('67ish late)
-'68 VW Beetle (first new car: late '68; hippy daze in da 'U)
-'73 Chevelle SS 454 4 spd (my 2nd new car June '73) A great car that hauled ass, easy to work on and Never broke.
-'76 Trans Am 4 spd, new.(Traded the Chevelle in on this. WTF?)
-'78 Trans Am WS6 version, new: Hot 400 motor, 8" wide wheels, 4 Spd. Everything the '76 T/A was not. Traded that '76 TA in on this.)

'75 to 2001 period included a new co. car every 2-3 yrs, so we weren't buying new cars often during that time.

-'95 Jeep Grand Cherokee, new in fall '94 for theMissus. Ran like a fooking top for 6 years/91,000 miles.
-2001 X5 3.0 5 Spd man.Sport, current car, traded in the CEO's JeepGrndCherokee on this; Sept' 01.

-2003 Honda CR-V: theCEO's current daily driver. A POS.
May '03.

Not as big a list as I thought; we all worked on each others cars so frequently, that upon reflection, I had to toss cars that my buds owned, but it felt like "I did", as we all spent so much time under the hood/under each others cars in the '60s.

Lotsa of M'cycles over the years, too. Currently have 4.

when i was 17 my uncle took me out into a parking lot, told me to put my foot on the brake and then depress the clutch... with my hand on the stick he showed me the gears and then he got out of the car, leaned in the window and said, "ok, i'll see you at my house" and got in his car with my aunt and drove away :) I don't know if i was more scared or pissed off but i made it there, only stalled once and quickly learned that the parking brake is your friend when you're stopped on an uphill incline at a light and you've been driving a manual for all of about 10 minutes of your life!!!!!

My turn! My turn!
 

This might take a while. SANguru and I have this thing about trying to own one of every car ever made before we head off to that Great Dealership in the Sky.

Here goes...(* = Still owned)

1974 Pontiac Firebird Esprit - Limefire Mist w/ White vinyl top (thanks Mom!). 350 V8 w/ two-point-something:1 final drive = insane top speed for a smogmobile.
1980 Olds Cutlass - "Das Hindenberg" (diesel conversion college wagon). Nothing but trouble. Died in my yard the week I graduated from college.
1981 Pontiac Firebird V8 - SLOOOOOOOW but pretty. Charcoal over Red interior. Blew it up during a high-speed night road trip.
1988 Beretta GT #1 - Rolled & totaled the day after making 1st pmt :-( First new car. Fun for 1988. Black over red.
1988 Beretta GT #2 - Replaced the "defective" one above :-) I courted my wife-to-be in this car.
1987 S10 Blazer Sport 2.8l - Can you say "slug?" Looked good, though. Black/black with all options. SLOWWWWWWWWWWWW.
1990 Cavalier RS - POS. Traded it a month after I bought it. Wife's car. Yuck.
1990 Grand Am SE - Quad4 sounded like a high-speed blender full of washers. Would do 90 in 2nd gear! Good looking car for its time. Wife's car.
1989 Camaro IROC-Z 5.0 TPI - Tops leaked like a sieve. Lasted 6 wks before I got tired of drying it out. Turned out to be triple floor-planned at the dealer where I bought it. MAJOR headache getting that one fixed.
1988 Celebrity Eurosport 2.8 Wagon - Sold it for more than it cost. Go figure. Wifey's winter commuter. Someone broke into it and stole my Vaurnet cateyes...the 80's died for me that night.
1990 Mustang GT 5.0 (White) - HooooWAAAAAAAAA!!! Wife's driver. Modded w/ chip/offroad exhaust/wheels and tires. One very quick 5.0.
1992 Ford Ranger STX 4.0 Supercab - No surprises. No complaints. Did all I asked it to.
1992 Plymouth Duster 3.0 - Thought this one might be fun. Thought wrong. Amazing rubbery driveline backlash. Truly awful seats.
1973 Dodge Dart 340 Sport - First (and last) restoration. Fun old car. Bought from wife's uncle w/ 57k original miles in '93. Looked nice when I finished it.
1992 Dodge Spirit ES - My 1st real family car, aka "The Fridge." BOR-ing.
1992 Probe GT (Silver) - What a fun little car this one was. #1 of 3. That engine was like BUTTAH!
1993 Mustang GT 5.0 (Bright Red) - HooooWAAAAAAAA Part II. Wifey's car.
1995 Probe GT (Black) - Even more fun than #1. Deer magnet. #2 of 3.
1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE - Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-) This Mazda was truly the "Great Little Car" in their model lineup.
1995 Dodge Ram SLT 4x4 5.2l - Tire smoker w/ 5sp. Nice lil truck. Made me a believer in The New Dodge.
1996 Camaro Z28. Black over Taupe. Auto. This car was one quick operator, and well-built to boot. No leaks! Great smoky burnouts! And got good mileage (for a 285hp LS1 V8) to boot.
1996 Ram SLT Clubcab 4x4 5.2L - More weight + AT = slower than '95 Ram. However, more room for all my stuff.
1992 Mercury Cougar SC 5sp - Br. Red over black leather. Too heavy for fun. Brakes failed one day and almost crashed. Traded it the following week.
1997 Probe GT (Dk Red/Wht Stripes/Chrome wheels) - BLING BLING! Very hard to miss this one due to color combo. Fun car.
1987 Buick Grand National - Hang on! Hates curves! Big turbo lag! All black! Represented everything that was right - and wrong - with GM in the 80's.
1998 Ram QuadCab SLT 4x4 - Would pass anything but a gas station w/ 5.9L. Had room for a baby seat. I loved this truck.
1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic - Pretty innoculous. Did all I asked it to do.
1988 Mustang LX 5.0 (Red) - Speed density = ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM the old fashioned way! Sold to a newly-licensed 16 year old. Nate, if you're out there, I hope you're still alive.
1997 Taurus SHO - Lusty V8 sound on full acceleration made me feel just like Mark Martin. Excellent baby transporter. Lovely front leather seats for a US car. Decent stereo, too.
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSI - Had "Orgasm Donor" sticker on back glass. Service techs loved the sticker. They got to see it a lot...seemed like the darn thing was there once a month.
1999 SLP Camaro SS - Holy Mother of God this $#%@& car was fast (for 1999, anyway)! This was the car that led me to never ever again drive while drinking. Ever.
2000 Durango SLT 4.7L - The reason I no longer believed in the New Dodge. 'Nuf said.
1998 Audi A4 2.8q - I loved this little car. Funky German Cactus green over Terracotta leather. Nice car. Fun to drive. First of many Audis.
1998 Volvo S70 T5 - GREAT seats & stereo. I've been told I'm a master of the obvious, but this car was the Volvo of sports sedans.
1998 BMW 528i - Ahhhh...finally, my 1st Bimmer. Loved this car. Oxford/Sand. I got bit by the BMW bug with this one.
1999 Mercedes ML430 - Overrated. MLs got better after 2000, but I hated being on the QC test team. Brilliant drivetrain and competent suspension could not overcome sub-Mercedes levels of fit, finish and execution.
2000 Audi S4 - OMFG this car was quick. Not SS fast, but lightning quick, esp. in wet/snowy/icy conditions. Hibiscus Red over Lt Silver Napa. Best smelling interior ever. Wife's car. Did great four wheel drift burnouts.
2001 Audi A6 2.7T - Ming Blue over Taupe. This car was simply lovely. 6speed meant it was fast too. Not amazing S4 fast, but fast in a stealthy way. Very well turned out piece.
2002 BMW X5 4.4i - Probably the best vehicle, overall, I ever owned. Fast/Gorgeous/Refined/Solid/Reliable. Of all the cars I've owned, this one is the one that I felt was the best match for me and what I want in a car.
1995 BMW M3 - Loved driving this car on tight fast twisty 2 lane roads. Gorgeous Avus Blue w/ Lux. Made a damn fine commuter too at nearly 30mpg.
2004 Audi S4 4.2L - Irresistible combo of performance and luxury. WAY fast. Loved the Recaro seats in lusty Audi nappa leather.
2004 Ford F150 SCrew - Bigger than the '98 Ram pickup, but I liked the Ram better. Wifey's truck. Gutless for 300hp. I think my X5 at 280hp used bigger horses than Ford. I hated this truck.
2003 BMW 530i - BMW 5er peaked with the E39 IMO. This car is the best of breed. Refined. Catlike reflexes. Relatively roomy. Very well designed and built. Silky. Never should have traded this one.
2006 Honda Civic Si - Reminded me of a schizophrenic terrier with the Jeckyl/Hyde powerband that was programmed into the VTEC system. Fun car to drive in the mountains. Beautiful bright red paint.
2006 Honda Accord EXL - Felt like I was driving someone else's car the entire time I had it. I could not mod the "boring" (some might say "competent") out of this car. Kept it six months.
2004 BMW X5 3.0i - Ah, finally, back in a Bimmer. What this E53 lacked in V8 power it made up for in comfort and utility. I always loved sliding into the driver's seat after a long day. This car just fit me in just about every way possible. I still miss it.
2003 F250 King Ranch/2006 F250 Harley-Davidson Edition - Kings of the road. Awful damn big, but if you're pulling or hauling something, it don't get any better than this. Hella tough to wash and wax in one day. Had to turn off ignition at drive thru because the 6.0 PowerStroke was so loud.
2003 BMW 325i - Black on black with 19s. Looked awesome. Drove even better. Proof that the biggest engine isn't always the best engine. This car was a hoot and always made me feel like the driver I wish I was.
2006 BMW 330i - Gorgeous Graphite over Terra interior was simply luscious. Great big fun on twisty roads. iDrive not as bad as tech-challenged old skool auto journalists purport to be.
2007 BMW X3 - Lots of useful space and good fun-to-drive quotient eclipsed by dumb AT vices and weird styling cues. Lack of cool toys. Monaco Blue was nice.
2006 BMW 750i - Man this thing is BIG! Well, not as big as the 750Li or the A8L I looked at, but big just the same. This car made me feel like a million bucks when I drove it. Supremely comfortable. Very reliable, believe it or not. 21" wheels added NBA swagga (and looked frickin' awesome).
1997 Ford F250 - Farm truck with 107k miles gets more comments than either of the two BMWs in the garage. Red/Silver totally stock. Runs like a champ. Probably the best $7500 I ever spent on a depreciable asset.
2007 VW Touareg TDI X 2 - #1 was Offroad Grey over Grey and #2 was Black over Teak. Man, you could pull an aircraft carrier into drydock with these things. Opulent furnishings reflected Herr Piech's master plan to turn VW into a legitimate MB/BMW competitor. These things were HEAVY!
2001 Audi TT 225 quattro Roadster - Found this one in a Chevy used car lot with 23k original miles and picked it up for a song on a snowy day in February. Was a Valentines Day gift to Wifey. She didn't appreciate it. Sold it for nearly $2k more in June.
2002 BMW M3 Convertible - This car had many assets. I think the thing I loved the most was the sound of the engine and exhaust at idle. Kinda like a a sewing machine with a badass 333hp I-6 low rumble exhaust. Oh, and the way it drove was utterly fantastic. Simply drop the top to take the fantastic scale to 11.
2007 BMW 328i Convertible - Take the E46 M3, add one convertible hardtop, remove one 6-speed manual, update electronics, soften up the suspension, detune the engine by 100hp and ad a few other other goodies and you get this: a 7/10ths M3 with a better daily-driver quotient that still has all the BMW goodness baked right in. I loved the M3, but this car is a better match for my needs at this point in time.

Wow, I can't believe I remembered that many! I think I got them all.

Mike

I never bought a used or demo car, but some 760iL I saw looks pretty good I am tempted. Perhaps I should get 750iL get it re-badge. Too many of these 750iLs running around my town.

Yup, no problem...

mmm, let me see, I started driving in 1991, and my dad (may he rest in peace) besides being a great dad, was a very generous man. As long as I did well in school and didnt behave like a wanker he took care of my driving needs until I could afford to buy my own.

- 2006 BMW X5 4.4 (What can I say, this car stirs my willy when I get in it. It has just about every option installed plus the aero kit and the style 87 wheels with Diamaris tyres. Its quite the head turner.

So, do you think I am a BMW fanatic? :)

I'm surprised you haven't added a new Mini Cooper to complete the cycle, considering your early Mini history.

BMW's you have owned
 

Hi there guys

Im new here, great site!

Just thought it would be interesting to see which path you took to the X5? did you come straight from another manufacturer or have you been a bmw addict for a while?

my last few cars have been

E36 320 compact
E46 320 Saloon
E46 325 Coupe
116 M sport (dont ask)
3.0d sport X5

loving the x5 right now! best of the lot

All X5s...Although the 6 has been calling my name for some time now.
'01 E53 4.4i
'05 E53 4.4i
'08 E70 4.8i

After always buying American, I crossed over due to the Jeep from hell. I haven't looked back. :)

Id love the 4.8 but I would need to take out a mortgage to pay for the fuel here in the UK :D

It's a blast to drive but the needle on the gas gauge moves as fast as the needle on the speedometer.

Haha.

My list of cars
-96 Toyota 4-runner
-99 E36 M3
-02 X5 4.4l

The M3 really made me fall in love with bimmers.. Hmm wonder why? What an excellent car. Couldnt keep it because of Maine's roads. Just not practical in the winter either. Decided i needed an SUV and couldnt leave BMW.

I use to be on bimmerforums a lot and there is soooo much information on that site its scary. I like X5world though and thinking the people are a little nicer and certainly more mature.

Gresch, are you going to post photos of your X5?

Why?

Most people post photos, not a new concept, it would nice to see.

I can't resist. Help me.

53 Buick convertible. Years of service: 1. Straight 8 with column shift 3 speed.Totalled by drunk. Good thing as world's oil supply would have been exhausted by now.
58 Austin Healey Sprite. YOS: 4. 1929 technology with Lucas electrics. I thought it was a race car. Autocrossed it. Totalled in intersection
64 Corvair Turbo. YOS: 4. An actual turbo way back then. I liked this car. Loaned it to relative who abandoned it too long on street and it was towed away by the county.
69 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. YOS: 4. A fabulous car for its time. My first new car. I drove it at 100 mph for long periods of time on late night trips. Had DOHCs, 4-wheel disks that only exotics had then. Sold.
72 VW Van. YOS: 3. POS. Sold it to a huge guy who didn't wear shoes. He threatened me when the motor blew the next day.
73 VW bug. YOS: 5. Totally reliable. Sold it for more than I paid for it new.
VW Fastback, Series III. YOS: 1.2. Replaced pushrod tube in rain in middle of night in strange city parking lot. Forget year.
59 VW double cab pickup. YOS: 5. My work truck. Practical. Unsafe. Still in daily use by a car stereo installer. Of course, I restored this, rebuilt motor, etc.
49 Chev PU. YOS: .01. I had visions of a hot rod, but not. Only kept it a couple of days.
69 Mercury YOS: 2. company car. We called in the narcmobile because that's what it looked like. People would pull over when I came up on them. A wallowing hulk of crap. I snuck onto Laguna Seca racetrack and burned off the tires in two laps.
69 Alfa Duetto. YOS: 4. The boat tail design. Great car, very dependable with normal repairs. Used to carry wood and concrete when I began to rebuild my house. Ended up restoring it. Sold it to a guy who sold his Ferrari. Saw it the other day, still looks exactly like new.
67 Alfa roadster. YOS: 3. Same boat tail design. Got tire of restoration and sold it.
64 Porsche C coupe. [I]] YOS: 3[/I Got this as a wreck, bought new front panels, restored it down to the last proper friggin washer. Everything was replaced or repaired. The Lexus dealer put it in their showroom, kicked out the Lexuses and sold it to a lady who had been looking nationwide for one of these. Never lost a concours, is a garage queen. Did all this and even paint at home. Fabulous car, loved it, had to sell it because it needed to be a garage queen.
84 Mustang coupe, 5.0. YOS: 2. For one son. Would have made a great race car. Traded in.
88 Mustang 4 cyl YOS: 2. for other, more responsible kid. World's slowest car. He couldn't catch up to some girls who flashed their boobs. He still hates me for that. It died in LA some place
84 Chev El Camino. YOS: 5. Terribly unreliable car no matter what. Kept it for years as it was useful. Fixed it up, again, and sold it.
72 Volvo 144. YOS: 5. I kept this going far too long. Not such a great car as its reputation. Sold to Volvo fanatic. Probably his last one.
84 Honda Accord. YOS: 7. Usual reliable Honda. Wife's commute car for years. Sold to field worker who resold to friend for a quick profit.
Triumph TR3. YOS: .3. Bought as a wreck, sold as a wreck, but a nicer wreck.
Subaru sedan. YOS: 1 Not a bad car, but the tranny broke and too much to replace. Traded in.
89 Taraus SHO. YOS: 5. The one with a Yamaha 8000 rpm motor. Bought new. Great car in every way except it just fell apart. I even rebuilt the motor at home, trying to keep it alive. It wanted to die and I had to talk my ass off to get a Honda dealer to accept it as trade. Sad.
2000 Honda Civic Si. YOS: 8. A great car except for long distance cruising as it was just not comfortable for that. A guy flew up from LA to buy it, sight unseen. Low miles, not a dent, no wings or facko speed equipment.
2000 Tundra. YOS: 8. A perfect truck, except for the brakes. I will probably keep this forever. I commuted in it, but only a lumberyard hauler now.
2005 X5. YOS: tbd A wonderful 6 cyl 20+ mpg cruiser for those 1000 mile trips to see the kids and grandkids. Terrible nav, but fabulous in most every other way.

The pattern here is clear. Well used old cars, and junk, that I fixed up and drove for years. Same as my house, actually. Just about killed me. Nuthin but new from now on, unless I lose all my money. Oh, well, I still have my tools...

Remember I'm 54....

Since this thread is revived, time to update:
05 Cadillac CTS-V (put 75k miles on it - some hard:thumbup: )
01 Jaguar XKR - just sold in Dec
05 BMW X5 3.0 - just bought in Dec
06 BMW 535 - just bought in Dec

In the near future (oldest daughter turns 16 soon, and needs wheels):

- Either give the X5 to my daughter, drive the 5er for awhile, and get my wife a Z4. Sell the Escalade ESV
- get my daughter a car (she wants an orange Saturn VUE), sell the Escalade ESV

My preferred option:
- sell the Escalade
- get my daughter whatever she wants (either the VUE or give her the X5 - I think she'll take the X5)
- sell the 5er, and get my wife her vert that she wants so badly (probably a z4)
- trade in whatever is left for a slightly used 09 Cadillac CTS-V later in the year
