Share your Auto history!

Well, I am a madman and have had a lot of cars since I started working. At one point we (me and my wife) had 4 cars in the driveway... Is something that just car people would understand, maybe even for car people is too many cars:

It was a 12 year journey. I'm from Mexico, so all I had at first were salvage imported cars from the US, and they were fun and learnt a lot from them, like working on them, since they failed a lot! But they were super fun and I had the opportunity to try different engines (I4, I6, v6, v8), auto vs manual, etc.

Once I moved from work to the US, I was able to afford nicer cars, at least clean title! You can tell right away when was that in the album.

Some cars were on the driveway for 6 months, some for 2 years, some were modified, some were stock. I wanted the experience, trying something new and different. For instance, the Supra modified was fast (DP + E50 tune), but it was automatic, so, I got the M4 manual, which was even faster after the DME tune and downpipes. The issue with the M4 is that, here in WA is useless to have 650 whp RWD, so got the WRX.

However, I think I'll stick with the Evora GT for a while, there is no other car that drives like this (outside the Elise/Exige). Maybe is not as powerful but the raw feel is there, race car slash go cart kind of feel. The power delivery is linear and controllable, so no issues in WA :)

Anyway, share your story, I would like to know if I am the only madman.
