Remember When....

I remember thinking my 02' M3 was invincible when I first got it........

Felt I could whip ANYTHING.........

Until a bright yellow and black 911 with a license plate that read "KILLERB"
whooped my ass!.......

I haven't seen that article for a while.

Am I the only one who's blown away by how beautiful those cars are? I really don't think their modern day counterparts look as good.

Mag - you're probably not the only one, but personally I would say this only applies to some of the cars on show.

The F355 is still as nice to look at as it ever was, as is the NSX, and both Viper and Corvette still look great too.

I never liked the look of the Prelude and Supra to start with, so I'm ignoring them.

The surprising thing is how fast the German cars seem to have dated... I hope this does not upset anyone, but I really don't think the years have been kind to that version of the 3-series or either of the Porches.

I was never a big fan of the Prelude and Supra either, but I think they look better than everything current Honda and Toyota..

I am one of those people who think the 993 is the last true 911, and of course the most beautiful. I also happen to be an E36 M3 owner and enthusiast. I'm probably too biased to make a judgement.
