21 year old college kid w/ an 18 year old little brother who drives Bowser too

The first car I learned on was my Dad's 1986 BMW 325e, and the first car I had to myself was a 1993 Honda Prelude Si (which I still have and love) that my uncle gave me (his spoiled son got a Lexus IS300). No complaints here tho!

As much as I love my Prelude, I find excuses to drive my MINI. Makes every drive so much better

 

<<<<<on page 4 of this thread>>>>>
In January 1973, she wanted larger auto and we replaced her MGB with this Oldsmobile;
just 23k on ODO, but no A/C and 'export' suspension,
best handling Olds I ever drove

she gave it to me in '78
and I drove it for twenty more years and then went for smaller, better gas mileage Turbo LeBaron:
Now another gain in gas-mileage
and garage space with MINI Cooper

 

36, male. Only got a mine 'cause it was Hot Orange. Went from a '97 Toyota 4Runner. It is just as fun to stay on the road

 

37 year old single male. No kids(that I know of!)
2008 MINI Cooper S "Pugsley". Bought it because it was time for a new car, and nothing else offered the fun to drive and mileage of a MINI. LIke a big GoKart!

Other vehicles:
99 Ford F250 Superduty diesel, the tow rig...
1969 Mustang, my very first car, and I still have it. Currently restomodding it!

 

I am a newly married 26 y/o Asian male.
Getting the '08 MCS in a matter of a few weeks.
My GC8 '01 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS got traded in for the MCS for my wife, because she didn't want to learn stick shift.
I still have my '05 BMW E46 M3, which I still love.

Before the BMW M3 was a '02 E46 BMW 325i (which I sold to my brother after I moved to Hawaii from Washington).
Before the BMW 325i was a '97 Honda Accord (my first car... which my brother totaled in an accident).

Single white female almost 40. no kids just my fur baby.
First new car, shocking I know but I'm not much of a 'car' person but I've been in love with the Mini for a while.
I've been driving a 98 Honda Civic for the past 4 or 5 years before that I had a 91 Toyota Corolla all passed down to me from my mom with next to no miles on it. The first car I bought myself was a used Eagle Talon, loved that car but it took on a bad smoking habit that no mechanic could break.
