1984 diesel medium wheel base cruiser is my daily- and was the newest car I have ever owned until the 1990 964! Its my winter solo camping machine. Dif locks and PTO winch keeps me moving.....

Before the cruiser it was always BMW 2002's.

Lots of people seem to have 911s and LCs. There is a thread over on mud that has a ton of 200/911 owners.

I have always like the exterior styling and interior fit and finishes of the B5 platform when it first came out back in '96. A4 was a good car but just felt a bit lagged in power, then I found out they are coming out with the S4 I knew it's the car for me! Custom ordered and waited few months for the car. Loved the 2.7T Biturbo engine. Lots of potential and I think it was one of the best engines back in the day. Great that you still have yours, wish I could have kept mine....I actually found out later from Audiworld forum that the guy brought the S4 from me totaled the car......

Here are pics of my A4, sorry for the low quality 90s photos....lol

this is my daily....its a 4S so it gets me through Boston all winter. the only time I dont drive it is when there is more than 2" snow forecast. I just stay home(or take public transport to work). the roof in the 991 has insulated aluminum panels in it so it is remarkably comfortable(noise, heat, etc)

Thumbs up

I have a 100 mile Interstate daily commute. Can't say enough good about the 535i for that job.

Beautiful car. Beautiful color combination. I have been looking to add a late model cabriolet 4 or 4S, but I have had trouble finding a car with manual transmission.
I would never drive in the snow. Concerned about salt damage.

What a beauty! Voodoo Blue? How hard was it to adapt the ducktail?

A Tacoma although I am thinking about swapping it out for a Mazda CX-5 soon. Photo was taken when it was new. My wife drives a Highlander so she can have our two children, their spouses, and grandson in the same car. With the birth of our new granddaughter I may be the odd man out.
