My recent E28 test drive left me with a certain intangible emptiness that I didn't have the first time. Maybe it was the traffic or the A/C blower on max with the windows up, but it just wasn't as giggle inducing as the first time.
Other cars include:
G50 Porsche 911s- I still love those cars, but the 993 is such a better car, driving and looks wise.
Porsche 914- I used to be obsessed with performing an EJ25 swap, but the examples I've found are just too expensive and too broken.
W123 coupes- sellers always want too much for a 7/10 car with a crappy color combo.
E30 BMWs- unless I get one for a screaming deal, meh.
X100 XKR/X308 XJR- the engine (if original) and trans are made of explodium, the coupes are pricier than the convertibles and an LS1/T56 swap would be a PITA. I can get a DB7 GT for that money.
E28-39 M5/E31 850- I don't want the owner$hip experience that comes with them.
BD Legacy GT wagon- they're all trashed and have automatics
M100X CUCVs- the 6.2 diesel sucks and they're all automatics
'79 K5 Blazer 4WD 454 4 speed- rare-ish, I couldn't afford to fill the tank for a run to the grocery store
Any Porsche 928- Porsche V8 used engine repair- it's super effective! Wallet has fainted!
I should mention that I still look for these on CL/eBay/etc., I just don't ever expect to find a good example/the right example.
