Cars You Wish You Never Sold?

R A W L S · 08-07-2010, 09:46 PM

I recently purchased a MY2011 BMW e90 M3 and feel like I've "arrived." I've been thinking I would like to keep this car forever. I've also been thinking about cars I've owned that I miss and wish I kept, if money were no matter. They are:

1. 1984 BMW 325i. 5spd, White on Tan with a great sounding blaupunkt stereo system.
2. 1985 BMW 745i. "Grey" market car in the US. Approx. 300hp and 300ft lbs of torque, water buffalo leather interior.
3. 1990 Mazda Miata. Silver on Black.
4. 1992 VW GTI. 32V, Red with Gray Recaro seats.
5. 1994 VW Passat VR6. Deep Green on Tan leather.
6. 1996 Audi A4 V6. Blue on Black leather, 5spd.
7. 1999 BMW M Coupe (Z3). Black on Black leather, 5spd
8. 2005 BMW e90 330i. Silver on Black, Sport Package

Any cars you've owned that you wish you never sold, if money were no matter?

Thanks for sharing.

95 Honda Prelude VTEC (mint condition with just 40k miles when I sold it)
04 Acura TSX (still the best gauge cluster I've ever seen and a great FWD performer)
85 Fiero GT (this thing was a great handling car when it wasn't broken down)
06 Civic Si (such a fun little pocket rocket and it even had nav)

My first RSX-S...bought a second one 2 years after because I missed that car terribly.

epbrown · 08-08-2010, 04:49 AM

Only one - my 2003 325i with 5-speed and sport package, jet black on black. I sold that and my 2003 Z4 roadster to buy the M Coupe so I wouldn't have a car note; wish I'd kept it as my commuter/winter beater. I'm seriously considering trading the Solstice in on one this winter, rather than moving to the E92 328i I've been thinking about.

MazdaSpeed6. It was such a great car in the snow, more fun than the 335xi. Total sleeper.

In hindsight I would have kept the MazdaSpeed6 as a winter car and bought a 335i coupe.

I won't make the same mistake again. The 335xi will become my winter car soon

Two cars spring to mind. Both Fords and both Escorts, one was a Mk1 Escort Twimcam and the other a Mk2 RS1800.

Taymaishu · 08-09-2010, 04:18 AM

MY04 WRX.

Maseroche · 08-09-2010, 05:07 AM

1999 M5 that I sold and regretted selling ever since.

Sniz · 08-09-2010, 08:56 AM

my '69 Camaro SS, but it wasnt sold.....it was burnt and crushed alive in a garage fire

HPFREAK · 08-09-2010, 11:10 AM

My 91 5.0 - was fully built with a Vortech T-Trim Cog driven madness. 640rwhp and 2900lbs of terror. Needed the money at the time. Oh well

03 Cobra- Wish I could of kept it. Fun car

tadtaggert · 08-09-2010, 11:14 AM

Lotus type 74 Europa Twin Cam

Very inexpensive, required tons and tons of work, but absolutely the most fun car I've ever owned.

Bah you're still ok with two high redline N/A cars....however you can't feel or hear the VTEC....I miss Vtec..whammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm with my CAI. The hondata kind a killed the joy. I miss those days ordering parts blowing stupid money on parts...JDM and other renowned parts. Tanabe, HKS, Greddy, Koni all comes to mind...let alone the wheel sets. All the speed shops around here died lately....we're all growing up or becoming smarter.

immiketoo · 08-09-2010, 07:54 PM

my 96 Mystic Cobra complete with 4:30 rear end and Vortech S-trim. My 2001 Audi S4. That was a GREAT car.

john08135i · 08-10-2010, 06:01 AM

My 135i

It hasn't even been a month and I miss it very much

JIM E92 · 08-10-2010, 06:46 PM

FJ Cruiser, 4x4 w/ manual transmission, locking rear and center differential, ATRAC front, skid plates, TRD shocks, BFG AT/KOs, Rock Rails. I took that beast all over California off the road. It was the best vehicle I have ever owned. It was stolen from Toyota San Diego while in for service. Police never recovered. Pretty sure it was dismantled for parts in Chula Vista......sons of bitches!

ENINTY · 08-10-2010, 09:33 PM

My 1973 Yellow Ford Pinto 2.0L 4-speed MT (sedan not hatchback) with the slotted "deep-dish" Craigers and Trac-Auto "Enso" outside rear view mirrors.

And my 1987 Ford Ranger STX.
