Really enjoyed this thread so figured I would contribute.

Past:
1991 Sentra SER. Had 2 of these while in college before they developed a cult following.
1996 Toyota Supra Turbo. Still regret selling it.
2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Supercharged. Fast and cheap to maintain/mod. Had a chance to buy it back, but just no room or time for it at this moment.

Current:
1989 Ford Saleen Mustang. Owned since 1991.
1995 Nissan 300zx Turbo. Nostalgia. Wanted one in high school but could afford it. Well built. No rattles after all these years.
1998 Honda Prelude. Daily driver. Really like the driving position and forward visibility.
1999 Mazda Miata. Saving this one to teach my daughter to drive a manual in a few years.
2000 Acura Integra GSR. Just came across this low mile female owned car. Couldn't resist. Didn't tell my wife until I brought it home. Not a good idea.
2005 Ford GT. Easiest exotic car I have ever driven. The clutch and shifter is incredibly precise, smooth and effort less.

Interested:
low mile pristine Prelude SH
S2000 CR
97-2001 NSX
Lamborghini Huracan Performante

Could have/should have, but missed the boat:
F40 & Carrera GT

Wow, that is amazing! Did you buy it new? Post some pics, please. That car is truly one of the coolest looking in a generation. Would be on my lottery list.

Past:
89 CRX Si w/b16a: First car! Was my pride and joy in high school. I remembered it being so fast at the time but in retrospect, it was probably pretty slow.
05 S2000: All time favorite! Felt like an extension of my body. Made my daily commute to work and school much more exciting. I made the biggest mistake of giving it to my younger brother instead of taking it to med school in the Midwest.
97 Civic CX hatchback (automatic): My attempt at a responsible daily commute during med school. It’s hard to have any kind of fun with 95hp and an auto tranny. At least it was good on gas. Was happy to give it to my dad when his Camry kicked the bucket.

Current:
07 350z Nismo: Completely impulsive purchase reactionary to owning to the Civic. Wanted the S2000 experience but could not find a decent example in Michigan for the price. Pretty fun car and pretty quick. Torque is nice to have. Not in love with it.

Would like to own:
328i: daily driver?
911 GT3
Lamborghini Aventador SV
McLaren P1
NASA Space Shuttle

May I ask why you seem to like the .1 more than the .2? I like the look of the .2 better personally, and the extra 0.2L, but I'd love to own either and it would be significantly easier to afford the .1.

Past cars:
2002 Impala - First car, handed down to me. Caught on fire.
2004 S2000 (current) - 10+ years of ownership and finally hit 100k miles. Current daily driver
1986 RX7 - First project car
1995 Montero - 5 speed, 4WD on 33's first SUV
1989 240sx hatch - RB25. Silvia front. Track car.
1995 M3 - very yellow, fairly stock track car
1990 MR2 Turbo - stancelife special from previous owner
1990 Miata - Owned for 3 days
1991 Celica GT4 - leaked a lot of oil
1996 Volvo 850 Turbo - big red wagon, very comfortable
2013 500 Abarth - First new car purchase (only new car purchase) owned for 3 months
2003.5 M3 - Alpine white, stock.
1987 Skyline GTS Autech - Rarest car I've owned
2004 330i ZHP - Manual daily
1989 Skyline GTR (current) - Amazing piece of engineering and underrated compared to its contemporaries
2004 TSX - Also manual daily
2016 GTR - Thanks Nissan
2006 S2000 - It needed TLC and I needed a better way to spend my time. Turned into a track car by next owner
2002 M5 - One of the best sports sedans ever made

Potential next cars:
3rd gen Tacoma - Like the idea of having something newer and utilitarian. Really liked the TRD Off Road I drove.
GX470 - Can tow and is reliable, though much older and still a little expensive.

Hopefully someday:
997 GT3 - Would love to have one in white
NSX - Pinnacle of Honda engineering in the 80's-90's
Aircooled 911, preferably 993 or 964 - want to see what the hype is about
FD RX-7 - childhood attainable dream car.
Dedicated track car + tow rig
