I was at my second DE in 2000 at Road Atlanta, in the rain, and this guy (almost as large as the car, he's probably here so I have to watch it haha) in an e30 track prepped car proceeded to lap the shit out of me in a 330rwhp '93 rx7. Sold it that year and bought a club race e36 out of Sevierville TN converted back to street. Got me all the way to instructing and crashed it at IRP drying the track for a Mazda club event 4 years later. Stupid error.

Lol my list is VERY short compared to most people here... before my 335i I had a 2011 Audi A4 2.0T. Front wheel drive, CVT. Decent car and the HEAVY depreciation made it affordable for a teenager but looking back I wish I'd bought the champagne E90 328i I passed on. I loved the interior of the Audi but the actual feeling of driving it was pretty dull and it burned a frankly unholy amount of oil. Basically I decided that I'd be okay with car issues as long as the car was fun, which the A4 wasn't. Hence the 335i.
