Let's reminisce: pics of our last loves

Thought we should start an homage to our past loves.

First is my old 545i with 20" Radenergie R10's, Eisenmann Exhaust, Custom ECU, Brake Upgrade, Lowering Springs, M Body Kit.

Second is my 2004 996 with Lowering Springs, Custom ECU, Fabspeed Headers, Fabspeed Exhaust, B&M SSK, 19" Victor LeMans Wheels, etc.

Here's my 997S . I never got to the wheels, suspension or interior . I only had it 5 months and had completed the F77/Tubi /Software before wanting a Turbo . I actually wish I had kept that car instead of the M3 I now have .

Also is the E350 which was replaced by the M3 . stock.

Don't make fun... I am taller than you...

"Mr. I can fit in a 911 Coupe with Sport Bucket Seats"!

My first car looked like that... but it was gold, had basic 14" steel wheels/hub caps, rust, damage and about 100,000 miles.

I was stuck with it for four long years!

I was cold in the winter [small 225ci Slant Six], hot in the summer [no a/c] and scared to drive in rain/snow/ice [numb power rec-ball steering, manual drum brakes x 4].

I owned it for three years, then my brother and I rebuilt the engine. Needless to say, I can appreciate every square inch of my 911.

Mel -- I was serious. In fact your picture brought back so many memories of fun times that I am covered in dust looking at old pictures . I even tried taking a picture of a picture but it came out all blurry .

The cars of our past are special . Big or small they spark memories for me of my youth and innocence and help keep me in touch with myself. When I say "history" it means in a good sense . It points a reference to see how we grow .
I tried so hard to show this one car which to this day I have dreamt that i still have it . I owned it when I was 19 .

I could not get my pictures on the computer but it looked just like this one . http://www.thesportscarstore.com/spider/

This was the best I could do of the actual car.

Here are 2 of my beloved. Gone, but always appreciated and not forgotten.

My 350Z was a Red Track Model with Nismo Shock & Springs, Nismo Headers, Crawford Plenum, Crawford CATS, and Customed Y-Pipe.

My S4 only had 18" Superleggera Rims and ECS lightweight rotors.
