She's a keeper!ovrkll said:Took my MINI Cooper S in for service and started looking at the sapphire black Z4M, on the dealer showroom, while waiting. After looking at it, say about 20 times, I walked outside and see an Interlagos Blue, and it is on sale!Phone call to insurance,,,,hmm, just a slight markup per year, that is a lot better than I was expecting,,,,,talk to one of the dealers of approximately what my MINI would trade in for, about 6k less than what I paid for it 4 years prior
,,,,, go home and ask the wife if she would mind, nope not at all
. That was when I realized that I needed to be a more mature driver, but then again what do you expect buying a teenager a fast car. Fast forward a few years I found my next dream car it was a 1995 Honda Del Sol SI. I was so anxious to get into a 2 seater and with my retail job I managed to scrape enough while attending college to buy one.That really gave me a feel of what I had been searching for an open top and 2 seats that were also factory recaro buckets. My next car was a 300ZX TT. Again really fast and a 2 seater it was red on red and a real beauty of a car. I drove that for a bit but found it to be terrible in the winter. Also, it did not help that any repair is so ridiculous and impossible to do on your own that I had to sell it while it still ran well ( the valve cover gasket was leaking too but you never heard that ). Having driven mainly 2 seaters my entire life a good friend of mine who also happens to work at a dealership sold me a 3 series coupe. I decided to give a car with more than 2 seats a try. It is then when I discovered BMW is the car I will always own. Once you have owned a Bimmer it is hard to drive anything else. Fast forward four years I had the car paid off and was itching to get back into a 2 seater. I still own my original DelSol and have owned a total of 5 throughout the years with a CRX in there but those seemed to be more of a toy than a real car. As I aged though I found myself wanting a luxury yet sporty 2 seater. My first thought was a S2000 but I really like the way BMW's drive so I looked into the Z4 which I quickly became obsessed with. I knew I wanted the 3.0 but was unsure of the color. Initially I wanted the white on black interior but those were next to impossible to find. After a lot of searching I found "the one". It was beautiful black with all the options I wanted. I had always thought I would miss my 3 series but since the day I traded her in for my Z4 I have had nothing but pure excitement in my Z4. It is the only car I have ever owned that I still get excited to drive every day. So that is how I decided on my Z4. I think this like my Honda will be one car I never part with.
