Not sure, I am "hooked", either. But, interesting cars that I previously have owned were a 67 Cougar XRT, 2 66 Mustangs, 69 Ranchero, a 70 'Cuda, a 2003 Mach 1, a 2008 GT500. Like others have mentioned I keep my cars a long time, for the most part. I daily drove the 'Cuda for almost a decade. I daily drove the GT500 (summers only) for 15 years and still have it.

The nice thing about the Fords is I can do my own work and they are very approachable. I did all the suspension, exhaust, cooling, infotainment and engine mods on the GT500 without even a lift. Plus, Ford offers plug-in tuners to increase HP and even MPG on certain FI models. Of course, you can do more with the aftermarket, but these are warranty friendly.

I'd buy a BMW sourced tuner for my M550 in a flash (pun intended), if they offered one.

I was at my second DE in 2000 at Road Atlanta, in the rain, and this guy (almost as large as the car, he's probably here so I have to watch it haha) in an e30 track prepped car proceeded to lap the shit out of me in a 330rwhp '93 rx7. Sold it that year and bought a club race e36 out of Sevierville TN converted back to street. Got me all the way to instructing and crashed it at IRP drying the track for a Mazda club event 4 years later. Stupid error.

'91 Dodge Daytona (5MT)

'88 Dodge Daytona Pacifica (3AT)
'94 Chevrolet Cavalier RS Coupe (3.1L, 5MT)
'01 Grand Prix GTP Coupe (4AT)
'09 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Coupe (5MT)
'86 Toyota Celica GTS Coupe (5MT)
'12 Kia Sportage SX (6AT)

Only 2 cars were more than 2 doors. More than half were manual. I miss the sound of the Probe GT (2.5L V6), wish I had more time with the Supra. Although the G42 is a fun daily, itching for a toy or track car, maybe a Miata/MX-5.
