One of the directors at my place has one it that colour combo (actually his is a blue so dark it might as well be black) I was in it the other day and even though its three years old now, the beige leather still looks like new, it's held up really well, no obvious fading or colour mismatches. It also makes it very light and airy in there compared to the black interior which, in such a sizeable interior, makes it quite oppressive.

Good to know 👍

My perfect spec was dark blue with tan interior. But only one available was black/beige.

I really like light interiors if it's just the seats and door card inserts. Not so much when it's the headlining, full door cards, lower dash and carpets!! Plus it has a dark brown dash top.

Will be like this (steering wheel on other side ;))

Even the boot is full on beige carpet - going to have to find some dark mats and a boot liner for it or it will be filthy in a few months.
 
Guess I've never posted up in here. I've got 2 and share a 3rd, my two are a 2002 BMW M3 and a 1968 Porsche 912 that's now some sort of franken-911 built with spare parts from about 4 other 911 project cars over the years. I share seat time in a few different cars for track events, but mostly a 1972 Porsche 911.

The M3 is my daily, replaced a 2001 330i about 18 months ago and I've been absolutely loving it so far.
 
My dad is letting my drive his 2001 Beetle until I go off to college, as it’s pointless for me to buy a car and then have it sit for a year or two before I can bring it with me.

It’s a diesel with a 5 speed, lowered a bit, upgraded brakes, and some visual modifications. Nothing special or fast at all, but it’s fun as hell to drive.
 
Is it possible to get something like "Hell ya, I love my car!" Added to the survey? None of those options fit well. I dont care to judge other people's property to my own, but i love my cars a bit more than just "they start" and by no means did/do they not cost much.
 
You're right, it's NA - but it's a Rev3 (1994). Great fun to drive :D
Ah yes. I guessed Rev4 due to the indicator light position on the guard. But then I remembered it's a European version, not Japanese. Full clear front lights aren't factory though?
 
I can't even remember when was the last time I update here, but I've sold my Peugeot 308 VTi last year, August I think it was. Then me and my father acquired this BMW 318i F30 and I share it with him. Adequate power from a turbocharged 3 cylinder, cheap and still jolly nice to drive! It has all the Luxury package included.

The 308 on the other hand is replaced with the Peugeot 408 THP. Similar design and all to the 308 but with a boot. The car is only available in the Asian and South American market. It has a 163HP turbocharged 4 cylinder Prince engine and is a decent car overall. Wait until you read the next sentence.

I also have a Peugeot 206 1.4L which I used to drive before I got my old 308 but now it's just a car for short commute and a backup car because the 408 breaks down a lot. And I mean a lot! I can't even remember how much I've spent to keep it running :lol:

Here's both of them side by side.

After almost 7 years with the BRZ I made a wild swing to its polar opposite after a lot of research . I bought a Mercedes E Cla- I mean a 2020 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack.

The only two options I tacked on were the auto* and the package with the blind spot sensors/electric mirrors/etc.

*Initially wanted the manual, but the paddles are actually super responsive plus it means I get line lock, launch control, and roughly 30mpg if I'm maintaining a constant speed since it can shut off half the engine.

I wanted something that was smooth and quiet during the morning commute but could still move with a quickness if I wanted it to. One thing lead to another, and several discounts and rebates later a car I've been admiring from a distance for years was well within my budget. Weeks of research and several test drives later and here she is, and after a couple days with her I couldn't be happier. Turns out when you're not putting the hammer down the Challenger is an unusually quiet and comfortable place to be.

Having my BRZ payed off, in very good condition, and totally returned to stock as a trade in helped a ton, as well.

2003 Camry. Who wants to race?

(Please don't)

It's been good to me, though. Ten trips to Pennsylvania, and four to Florida (all from Virginia, now living in FL) in the two years I've owned it. 177k miles, no CEL.

Is it a 2.2L???? If so, legend has it that you can beat any car if you know the steps to do so....


I sold my G35 last July and picked up a MK7 Golf R in August.

I think the last time I posted in this thread was before I actually got my first car. That was seven years and eight cars ago, so here's a progression to get myself caught up:

I had some of these cars concurrently. If you want to see what that looked like, I made a spoiler:

tl;dr: a Lexus got lower, a Mercedes got different wheels, and a house changed colors
