First two are when I was still into cars (could afford it) and lived in Australia, had to sell the WRX when I moved to Cali as there was no way it was going to meet SMOG requirements.

Current cars are the Expy and the little Fiesta ST (and a Yamaha MT-07 not shown). Fiesta only has a tune on it and is stock otherwise :)

Fiesta ST FTW ? I owned a 2017 for about 4 years - bought it brand new and just recently sold it -

Zero issues with that car the entire time I owned it. Only reason I sold it was to switch over to an EV and picked up a new 2020 Bolt which surprisingly is just as fun to drive ?

This is my 1972 Pontiac LeMans. It has a Pontiac 400 engine with a 4-speed manual. I installed RideTech coilovers, C6 Corvette front and rear disc brakes, Holley Sniper EFI which controls timing on the HyperSpark distributor, a Moser Ford 9-inch rear end with a Detroit TruTrac limited slip and 18-inch US Mags Bandit wheels. My fabricator installed a Vintage Air AC system to keep it cool in the summer.

Here is my daily driver, Ruby.

Best of both worlds with the Challenger and can't wait to take the top and doors off in the next few weeks until about November as its the most fun time of the year with her.

Here is my 2011 BMW 135i. It's a 6-speed manual M Sport with a Mishimoto intercooler, MHD ECU tune and an Evolution Raceworks charge pipe. It's our 18-year-old daughter's semi-daily driver.View attachment 1957083

I worked with a guy who had one of those and let me take it for a spin. It wasn’t too long after when I purchased a Z4M. Amazing driver cars!

Surprisingly, I didn't break anything over the winter! I haven't done anything other than an oil change over the past few months. I'm at the point where I'm deciding what I ultimately want to do with this car, I love the car, don't get me wrong, but I think I am ready for something a little different / calmer / relaxed.

My new vehicle which I picked up the week of Christmas. A Toyota C-HR 2021 XLE Premium. This replaced a 2013 Ford Focus Titanium which was about to need a transmission replacement.
I don't see many of these around, strangely. What lead you to get the C-HR?

I like the reliability of a Toyota. I definitely wanted to get away from Ford. I previously had a Fusion, Fiesta and then my most recent was the Focus. The last 2 had known transmission issues. And this looked like a pretty funky car to drive and I got a great deal from the dealership. I'm very happy with it so far. I hadn't noticed many of these on the road prior to looking at the C-HR...however now that I have one I see several of them on my travels.

mmmmmm a Speed3!
I had a 2008 Speed3. Bought it brand new and gave it up 10 years later for a 2018 Accord Touring 2.0T.
I had been driving manuals for over half my life, and kind of fell out of love with it, with the ATL traffic and all. But the next car had to have close to the same power and be a bit larger and a bit more refined.

I’ve got a 2010 Corolla that I bought back in 2017 when it had 44k miles on the clock. Now sitting at around 106k and all I do is keep changing the oil to keep it running good. Had a 2002 way back and also racked up a bunch of miles on it without any issues - fantastic cars.

Had a Fiesta ST that I bought brand new for 4 years / 28k miles with zero issues.
