It was quick. A lot of torque steer, but fun torque steer. I liked playing with the 0 to 60 mph recorder. I had it down 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds. They say top end was over 150 mph. Never went that fast in it though.

And just think... If you'd put a bigger turbo on that thing, a better tune, etc... You could have really had that thing hauling ass!

Chris why did you have three E36 M3's?

Chris why did you have three E36 M3's?

First I had a 95, then I sold it and got a 97 with the 3.2 engine, and later I sold that and got a 99 because it was an uber rare color combo... Hellrot red on Modena leather with no sunroof!!!

What did you do with the 99? The last year of the E36 M3 in an ultarare color combo.......

I would have kept that.

Forever.

Regrettably I sold it. That was 10 year ago though. Wish I had kept it, trust me.

Funny you say that. I had a 2002 Outback as well, and I find that I miss that car quite often. I'm not sure what it was, but I really enjoyed that vehicle for whatever reason or another. My wife doesn't get it, and I can't explain it, but it really was a nice little car.

 

[coopking]

A 2001 Toyota Camry. Loved that car to death and got great gas mileage.

Sounds like a similar situation I had.

I got a 2001 Cherokee XJ Limited. Original owner, Patriot Blue on grey leather, overhead console, heated seats, and 80k original miles.

Cleanest XJ I'd ever seen in my life, not even molested one bit.

I've been trying to buy it for 5yrs. I drool over it everyday. Finally it's mine.

Sounds like you have your own unicorn!

Yep! Post photos of it when you get a chance. A nice and clean XJ is a hard find these days.

One of the most fun cars I ever owned next to the TJ would be a Mazda Miata. Those things are an absolute blast to drive.

Still throwing the wife's around the road. Ye Ha!

Sold the '64 Skylark to get the '02 Mustang

Really Like THAT Skylark!

I sold my XJ and HHR when I bought my TJ.
I had a guy tell me what HHR stands for. (Homo Hot Rod)...I never felt right driving that car after that. HaHa.
