				1. volvo 142's/122's, along with 125's and 145's
2. Mk 1 VW's
3. Datsun 510's
Ive owned 2 of these, a 1984 GTI with a JH headed ABA running on CIS-e and a mostly stock 1973 volvo 145.  both were POS's unfortunately.   next car I get will be a really nice german rabbit, a really nice '68-70 142, or a decent 510 wagon or 2 dr.  whichever comes along first.
post your favs!!

				You and I share the same taste in cars. Gimme a 2.0 16V, in a MK1, and I promise good times.
But you left out the Elise. I need to own one of these someday.
Coolest car Evarr.

thats a great engine in a mk1.  one of those or a 1.6TD would be my engine of choice.

				I like the passats, all years.. Something about them. 
I also like the chrysler new yorker.. comfy, boatish, gets up and goes. 
Toyota 4runners excite me as well.. but then again, so do Escalade EXTs, with AWD and 22" spinnarz.

				I also aspire to own an Elise. Like that's gonna happen 
 
Birkin (Lotus 7 replica) is a cheaper alternative
Audi RS4, not the new one, the old twin turbo Avant.

				I saw a really nice new blue M3 on campus today, it had the dual exhaust and looked like a body kit of some kind.

				let see..... stole pics off of google image search
American Car
Shelby GT500, classic American muscle and it looks nice
European Car
Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR, my favorite street bound race car
Asian Car
if it were Subaru it'd be the 22B, but...
Nissan Skyline, it has that WTF factor that leaves people who dont' know cars guessing

does the big six bolt into an e30?  that would be a sweet ride.

				I looked into other options when I found that my car was rusing through in like 6 more spots than I thought and really liked that idea.
They have all sorts of neat conversion kits and stuff, if I had a BMW I'd live there.

				BRE paint scheme has to be one of the hottest evAr for the 510. 
 
Ive come close to buying a 510, but it was a bone stock, non running 4dr with plenty of rust and a crappy racing stripe at $1500 firm.

				86-87 Turbo Buicks are awesome, I been wantin one of those for years... What else... R33 and R34 Skylines of course, and MK4 Supras. First gen Camaros/Firebirds are sweet. Just about anything RWD and pre '75 is cool.
