California:
1965 Chevrolet Impala convertible I paid $125, fun while it lasted
1967 BMW 1600 4 door great handling and comfortable ride (I commuted on the amazing Highway 1)
1966 BMW 1800 4 door ditto
1959 Volvo pv544 handled like a slot car
1973 Mazda Rx2 If you've never driven a Wankel rotary, it's almost as vibration free as today's electrics, tons of torque but in high revs
1970 Triumpf TR6 The most fun I have ever had driving a car, bar none.
Mexico City:
1979 Mustang Cobra 5.0 Ugly hood decal, V8/auto/air con to deal with insane traffic behavior and congestion
1980 VW Golf diesel no power (pre-turbo, Mexico City is at 2300m altitude) but over 1000km per tank
1980 Chevrolet Malibu hardtop again, a tank to deal with the traffic
Barcelona:
NEW 1990 BMW 318is my first new car, BMW's first 16v, fun for a four, but I always regretted not getting a 325i
1980 Opel Corsa 1.2 the bimmer went for a down payment on my first flat in BCN
1982 Yamaha 250 first motorcycle, even took it to the Pyrenees
NEW 1992 Suzuki Bandit 400 The most fun I have ever had driving any vehicle, bar none
1978 BMW 323i So entertaining that I never turned on the radio, the amazing music from the mechanical fuel injection was enough. A friend is still rallying this car.
1990 Ford Orion Ghia cheap daily driver to spare the 323i
2014 Beach 140 Not a car, a way of life, should have done it sooner.
