What got you into lugers?

Sweet 'Vette! Sometimes I really regret selling my triple black Mercedes SL500.

I had a baby on the way and just lost my job, so it had to go.

Fortunately, I still have my namesake, the 91 BMW 318is!

Maybe we can get Ed to post a picture of his Mustang...

I've owned my '86 Vette since '98, and it's a hodge-podge of adapted parts...Original parts are no longer available...Repros are few and mostly cosmetic...And due to an ill-designed fuel line placement, I'm mostly scared to drive it...
