I have two favorite cars from the past. Pics are representative. Not my cars.
1970 Opel GT
White with red interior
105 HP 4 cyl inline NA
4-sp manual
165x13 bias ply tires
"Sometimes you just need to have a car in your garage to look at.
The shape is beautiful and compelling, even if performance is just par."
1980 Mazda RX7
Black on black
103 HP 12A radial engine
5-sp manual
185/70R13 radial tires
"This car really taught me to drive. Willing revs, great suspension,
wonderful sounds, real time feedback from all the controls."

So, that's it. I am doomed. There is no patch, no methadone, no substitute. Curse you BMW. Curse you and your seamless power delivery. Curse the incredible sense of road feel. Curse the comfort, the luxury, the envious looks from the masses. I am... hopelessly addicted.
