    I had an 1989 325is for for close to 8 years. They're pretty reliable, but I wouldn't want a sub $1000 one that will be a money pit

    Impreza WRX (I came back from overseas and had no car in the States). But no, the only new ones in the state (Idaho) were 2014 STi Launch Editions to the tune of like ~$50k. So I said "welp, I always liked the Tacoma, lets go see if they got any 6spds on the lot." Looking back, it was the correct decision.

    Also considered a diesel Colorado, but none readily available when I was looking, and otherwise not a big chevy fan.

    My other daily is a tuned Taurus SHO, which is a fun ride.

    I had an 86 325e that I bought for $800, and quickly turned into a money pit. Someone offered me $1100 for it, and I jumped on it without hesitation. One of my bucket list cars is still an e30 m3 though.

    I love the E30 M3, but the prices have gone to the stratosphere. If I had the money I doubt I would buy one. I'm just not really a car guy anymore. There's too many other things to do in this life.

    I'll be honest I want a cheap German car because I want to finally fix something. The Tacoma NEVER breaks anything ever.

    I want something fast, the 4 cyl Tacoma is great but god damn is that thing slow. Been dreaming of a manual v6 or v8 BMW.

    Id probably still have my '14 Ram1500 if i didn't fall in love with the 3rd gens when they came out. Couldn't be happier that i made the switch, although if it wasn't for needing one for work id never even drive a pickup.

    I think I had about 13 air-cooled VW's. The only highlights were two 54-55 ovals, a 56 Ghia, a 60 bug, 61 rag top bug and a 67 bug. The rest of them were random parts cars or short time drivers aka fat chick bugs

    Tundra... My pops has one and it is nice. The new titan looks cool, but I've got another 8 years to go on the Taco. 10 years and then something new.
