    OK, 6X24 for 5 E30 BMW 325is and one 325i Convertible+ 144 1X21 for a 99 Mustang Cobra = 21 1X11 for an 83 VW GTI= 11 1X3 for an 89 Corolla GTS= 3 1X1 for an 85 Volvo 745 Turbo wagon 1 If I get to count the E36 95 M3 Race Car I get another 24 points. Where's the 1965 Corvair? That was a great car. So what's my score? 217, if I get credit for the E36 M3. Ford Pinto, 5 window early Chevy Pick-ups and Sedan Deliveries, Citroen IDs, Triumph TR2, Jetta wagons, Z4 Bimmer Coupe I've had a bunch of cars that need some credit. I want more points!

    I'll bite - what the heck is the story behind this one?

    It was my challenge car from 2008. The engine is from a 1995 325i convertible. It was a fun little car very torquey and it sounded awsome. I had some issues at the challenge with the ECU so my drag times were not stellar, and the gearing was a little jacked up due to the GSL-SE rear end being much shorter then the BMW's, but it was a fun little project never the less. I sold it after the challenge to some kid here locally to make room for my ITA SE-R.

    Total = 122 points

    (Note: I didn't assign any value to the four BMW 2002s I've owned.)

    I must look at the list tomarrow. So neons are on there? I've had 2.

    And I take care of my GF's civics, she's on her second and looking at her third. But they are all slush boxes...

    Let's see:

    Two Miatas (50) One Locost using a Miata (not done -- maybe 6 points?). Two Civics (a 78, and a 79 -- probably don't count). One CRX Si. One Corvette. One Volvo 245. One Rabbit (GTI clone). One Mustang GT (donor for another project, but we drove it once). Two RX7s.

    Sorry guys, it's just hard to beat 27+ years of neat/fun car ownership. In other words, I have wasted lots of money on cars in my life. I tend to focus on cars that are similar to what I am racing thus all the RX's and now the Miata.

    Lessee...

    2 Miatas = 50.
    1 BMW 320i = 24.
    2 Honda Civics = 46.
    Half a Honda CRX (my girlfriends's car, I wrench on it and we both autox it when it works) = 11, I guess. 1 Toyota MR2 = 11.
    Another Toyota MR2 that a friend owned but I fixed up and autocrossed, call it 5. A Neon lived with me for a year, but it was a company car. Let's do half credit for that, so 3.

    Add it all up, I get an even 150. Not bad for missing many great cars on the list! And for owning them all before the list was made.
