We've got:

2004 Pontiac Grand Am
2006 Toyota Corolla
2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport.

Just got the truck for work, and it's quite fun to drive (now that I've got some winter/off road tires for it). Although, I had to get a topper for it to haul equipment, so that ups the lame factor- it still has a HEMI and is a pretty nice ride compared to my Pontiac.

Truth be told, I wish I had my old van...

I don't drive regularly anymore, but when I go home I drive my parents' 2009 Chevy Silverado or 2010 Chevy Impala

Hmm, haven't posted in this thread in a while. Mazda 3 has been gone since a year and change ago, and in has come a 2000 323i. Nothing spectacular engine-wise, but otherwise a simply fantastic car in every sense of the word.

A lot has changed since I last posted in this thread. I closed my business and went to work for my largest client, so I sold my business vehicle. I did have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and a 2004 Mazda Tribute, but I sold the Cherokee last night

It really doesn't. It leaks antifreeze into the engine, there is this loud knocking in the engine too, it is rusting to crap, the ABS and tractional control don't work, the gas gauge doesn't work and you can only pump about 1.50 worth of gas at a time before it shuts of the pump and gas overflows. The car sat for 2 years when I could not afford to drive it so the effin tires are warped and the bugger shakes like hell at lower speeds. The air conditioner is shot and the two power windows in the back are burned out and don't work. There is a scrape on my drivers side front window where the damn wiper came off and scratched the hell out of it. The best part is I don't make enough currently to fix anything because I have other expenses that come first. Stupid POS car!

We own a Lambo, a Ferrari, an Escalade and a Porsche Cayenne (for the winter), as my teacher wife and I (who own a business) pull in $300K+ per year ...

Seriously during the week my driver takes me around on his million-dollar C-Train and on the weekend I drive a Versa...

I recently purchased a 2012 BMW X1, and I love it. The power that comes from that 4 cylinder with turbo is really amazing. Just a really fun car to drive overall.

Well winter is around the corner, and our boss just dropped the BMW 135i I have been drooling over for 3 months down to $27,000. Pretty soft market for a car like this once the snow hits. With 34,000 kms on it, it is too good a bargain to pass up.

Gonna park it for the winter, and try and get rid of the GTI in the Spring.

Same color as this one, with an M package.

Yeah, the car only has 34000kms, and is absolutely flawless. In nicer shape than my GTI with 11000 kms lol. I was looking online, and the closest car spec'd to this one was $35000. Better yet I was going through the tire room, and we had a set of Arctic Alpins for it mounted on oem rims for it that everyone forgot about.

Drove it home tonight, and it was a little sketchy on the summer rubber. But even though it has winters, it probably won't be moving for another 5 months or so. Gonna start doing some Dinan shopping. I think it needs a bump to about I dunno.... 400 or so HP...lol. 300 just seems so 2008.

I have the Juicebox 4 piggyback mod on my 335i and with Map 1 (for unmodified cars), it's an extra hundred horsepower over stock. So your desire for 400 horsepower is only a $500 purchase away. Easy to install too.

BurgerTuning.com is where to get it.
