I really worked my way up the car chain. Started with some crappy cars.
1986 Toyota Corolla (parents gave me this car when I started college)
1987 Mazda 626 (bought this car for $1500 in college when the corolla died)
1994 Mazda MX-3 (bought this car for $3000 in college when the 626 died)
2000 Celica GT-S (my first new car out of college. my love for high revving N/A cars began here)
2003 IS300 (got married, wife couldn't drive a manual and could only afford 1 car so traded in the celica for a used IS300. hated it, but it was bulletproof. first RWD car.)
2008 E90 335i (bought new in 2008. first german car ever owned. wife and I shared it. first sub 15 second car.
)
2009 135i (bought my first 2nd car. back to a 6MT for myself. the car that got me interested in BMW in the first place.)
2011 E92 M3 (current car. 6MT all for myself)
2011 E90 335i (current car. auto which my wife drives to work and we use for family trips)
