Partially, yeah. It was however, a third car already when my second was on his way, somIncould have kept it.

CTS: Fuck no.
SRX: No. I should have kept it instead of getting my CTS, so I regret that a little bit.
940 Turbo: Yes.
ES300 #2: No.
Focus: Probably.

MPV: It was inherited, so yes.
940: Yes. See above. I bought it back.

Focus... yes, but not with the goddamn DCT.

CALL_911

GTI: Yes, but I sometimes wonder what life would've been like if I got a WRX. The GTI has treated me really well and I don't anticipate replacing it anytime soon.

1984 Omni GLH... lol yes.

1973 Karmann Ghia... hell yes.

1986 Honda Prelude... yes.

1990 VW Golf... yes.

1993 Chevy Cavalier... hell no.

1987 Ford Ranger... hell yes.

2003 Dodge Neon... no, but it was good to me.

1980 Corvette... yes, should have kept it.

1998 Chevy Venture... nope.

1997 Plymouth Voyager... yes, but no need for a minivan anymore.

1988 Nissan Pathfinder... hell no (to be fair I paid $1000 for it and it was beyond repair).

2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4... hell no.

2009 Pontiac G5 Pursuit... no, but like the Neon it was good to me.

1991 Mazda Miata... in a heartbeat.

2013 Ford Focus... maybe, but not with the DCT.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix: No. It was the first car I bought after graduating, at the time was still driving a hand-me-down Oldsmobile Toronado my dad gave me. I didn't know what a "good" car was at the time to be honest.
2000 BMW Z3 2.5i: Yes. I still have fond memories of this car. This was the first "fun car" that I owned. I only sold it when I moved to Montreal and couldn't see having this as a daily driver in the winters.
2005 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro: Yes. This was the first new car I ever bought. It was fun to drive and was also perfect for the Montreal winters. Kept it the whole time I lived there, and only sold it because I was moving back to the US (and didn't want to go through the hassle of importing it).
2008 VW GTI: No. It was a fun car...don't get me wrong...but I didn't like FWD after being exposed to RWD and AWD cars. I thought I would get used to it again but I never did.
2010 Audi S4: Yes. It wasn't a perfect car by any stretch but it was a fun car and perfect for my wants/needs at that time.
2016 VW Golf R: TBD. I have some gripes with the car but I can't really think of something better suited. Every car in my price range was a compromise of some form or another. I am not planning to sell/trade it any time soon so I its sort of a yes, but if I had it all to do over again I can't say for sure I would get it again.

Better (smoother) engine and a maybe more progressive clutch. I think if it had a VR6 instead of a turbo 4 it would be about perfect (even if that meant it was a bit slower). A low pressure (ie: less turbo lag) I5 might also work better for a given amount of HP.

With the amount of nostalgia for Ford Rangers I see, it's a pity Ford just gave up that market to Tacos and Frontiers.  I don't hear that same nostalgia for Chevy S-10s though.

Every Honda I've owned. Every air-cooled VW I've owned...even the Bus that arrived non-running and left the same....it was a man cave in the backyard.

I'd buy the Samurai again. It was shit on the highway, but offroad it was a fun drive and I beat a 4x4 Chevy up a steep hill with it. (There's something to be said for under powered 4wd vehicles. The Chevy couldn't get a bite even with its off-road MT's).

I'd like to own a nice '68 Catalina again and/or a '64 Impala.  The 1969 Mustang was a great high school hot rod and it was reliable----but, something was always falling off, peeling (chrome plated items), or rusting.

A more complete list...

1951 Mercury 2 door Coupe - Absolutely, perfect car for the time.

1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk 289 V8 - Maybe, but I should've bought the '56 Buick Convertible instead.

1959 Austin Healey Sprite - Yes, but I'd never get in or out of it now.  Really fun to drive but only got 75 miles per quart of oil.  Not sure if it had any suspension either.  Felt every stone on the road.

1962 MG Midget - Yes, a bit more civilized than the Sprite, but still lots of fun.

1966 Mustang 289 V8, 4 on the floor - Absolutely.  Lovely little car that I started to 'customize' a bit too much.  Should've left it stock.

1970 Mustang Mach I 351 Cleveland, automatic :(. - Great car, but I should've got the Boss 302 instead.  My wife, at the time, insisted on an automatic.  Might've been a factor in the divorce :huh:.

1967 Austin 1100 station wagon (commuter car) - Yes, in spite of it breaking off little chunks of valve and continually losing fluid from the Hydrolastic suspension.  Just a car I have fond memories of.

1973 - Ford Courier - Nice little Mazda.  Body disintegrated but the engine was very stout.

1970 Alfa Spider Veloce - Lots of memories with this one too.  Perfect little sports car.

1967 Sunbeam Tiger 289 HiPo - I wish.  Was at risk of losing my license every time I drove it; or getting killed.

1978 Ford Bronco - Yes, in spite of crappy mileage.  It could crawl though anything.

1983 Mercury Zephyr Coupe 6 cyl. - Should've got the V8.  Pretty little car, but never really bonded.

1985 Plymouth Reliant - Reliant my ass, piece of shit :nono:

1986 Ford Tempo Stick -  Maybe, reliable little commuter car.

1991 Ford Tempo automatic - Better version of the '86.

1993 Ford Aerostar Long Wheebase 4 litre V6 - Absolutely, 7 passengers in relative comport or remove the seats and carry many sheets of plywood and bags of cement.  Not exactly a van.

1997 Ford Escort - My wife loved it.

2001 Ford Escape - Best CUV ever.

2003 Focus - Sure, nice reliable little car.  Handled much better than the competition.

2009 Ford Escape 2.5 litre (Mazda engine) - Should've got the Duratec V6, but it's been exceptionally reliable.  Daughter has it now.

Might've missed 1 or 2.

Definately, but I want something different for the next vehicle.  Love to have the F-Pace.

I've had over 130 cars, and in that mix have definitely been multiples of the same kind of car, aircooled VWs being the big one, with over 30 of them in custom forms. I'd definitely have more as I still have a million different custom ideas for them. I've had 2 E38s already and would love to have a customized V12 750iL in the future.

Dude get an E39

I don't really like the E39. A bit to Accord-looking to me. And it's really just a cramped E38. But I wouldn't mind the E39's 6 speed manual adapted to the E38 for cool points. And of course, the new big thing in the E38 world is swapping in the S62/6speed from the E39 M5. My buddy Brandon did one with a supercharged S62 and 6 speed combo. Fast, and very cool.
