Here is my old 1985 Mercedes Benz 300SD TurboDiesel.&nbsp; Inline 5, 3.0 litre motor.&nbsp; I bought it because it is big, roomy, comfortable, classy, well built, safe, and the engines are known for lengevity.&nbsp; Indeed, the Diesel Mercedes engines have been used for decades in German and Dutch taxi cabs as a result of their good reputation.&nbsp; </DIV>

1990 535i. 5 speed big Inline 6, pretty quick. The car was too fast for me and I didnt want to own that much car. It is the car that BMW does best, midsize quick, understated sport sedan.

My 1997 Subaru Outback Sport, my 2nd Subaru (Black Outback Limited Wagon not shown).  This is at a rallyX in Indiana. It was a great car until I drifted it into a tree on a snowy road.  Both airbags deployed and it looked like heck but once I slipped the belt back onto the pulleys I drove it home from Kohler, WI to Chicago!

1989 BMW 325i

Track rat for a while then just a fun weekend car. Sold it after 5 years, a record of ownership....

My first "nice" daily driver in a while, maybe ever!  This was was perfect in every way.  3.5" pipe from the turbo back, upgraded ECU, upgraded intake and voltage regulator, etc.  I loved it to death but I wanted more cargo room and ground clearance so I sold it.

1997 BMW M3

I did not keep this long but I made a little money on it. Bucket list item achieved but I may get a e36 M3 sedan instead one day.

My beloved 1987 Land Rover Range Rover Classic. Here it is on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, home of Canada's Grand Prix race. I miss this the most out of all my cars, but at 205K miles, it was starting to get tired and I needed something more run-of-the-mill for trips. One day i may get another one.

1992 Chevrolet Suburban K1500 4x4. My trusty old American friend. Never let me down in 28,000 miles across dozens of states and 2 countries. A real performer, it never missed a beat and was capable of everything from towing a disabled RV up a hill on the interstate, rescuing stuck 4x4s and towing cars, trucks and scrap metal. It will be missed....

My next replacement: a 1998 Outback Sport.  This one suffered a dip in the icy water of Lake Sinissippi, WI at an ice race.  I trailered it home but got in running again in a few days.  I soon sold it to a guy with full disclosure of the flood damage and rear wheel bearing problem.

My current daily driver: 2005 Subaru Outback Limited.  AWD, manual, limited slip in the back and heated everything.  I love this car.  It is perfect for everyday practical use and the occasional TSD rally, ice race or RallyX.  If anything happens to it I will definitely get another just like it.
