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!

How many points do I get for my old RX-7 with a bmw 3 series engine in it?
In reply to pimpm3:
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.

2 1990 Miatas = 50 points;
1 91 318is = 24 points;
2 84 GTIs = 30 points;
1 84 RX-7 GSL-SE = 14 points;
1 91 Sentra SE-R = 3 points
1 80 Volvo 242 GT = 1 point
Total = 122 points
(Note: I didn't assign any value to the four BMW 2002s I've owned.)
1x RX-7 =14 points
1x GC Impreza = 12 points
Total: 26 points. I got some catching up to do.
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.

1 Miata 25
1 Civic Si 23
1 Civic Std 22
Grand Total: 70
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.
92 Nissan Sentra SE-R 3 (tested the seat belts as an SUV turned left headon in an intersection);
88 Honda Civic 23 (valvetrain went out twice in first year, dumped it);
86 Dodge Omni GLH Turbo 7 (shock tower separated from the unibody, dumped it for the Civic);
98 Volvo V70 T5 (does that count) (custom No-Lag turbo mod, 275 HP. wastegate hose came loose, broke an upper wrist pin at 30psi);
Also friends':
95 Mazda Miata turbo,
95 BMW 325is,
91 Toyota MR2 Turbo
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.
