hahahha 140 lessons? Yea, definitely that's revenge lol!! I wouldn't want to be in your place!! I had no Wasta, I just paid the instructor 400Dirhams and he signed all the hours for me and I did the test!! But those 8 months were good, at least you got something that would rock the street by a little squeeze on the throttle!!!

I got the Mustang when I moved to Hilton Head Island, SC for a couple of years cuz it seemed like a cool car to have while living at the beach. It was fun to drive in a straight line..... I brought it back to PA and it met it's demise on an icy road one night involving a telephone pole. I survived obviously. It was nearly totaled but the insurance company paid to have it fixed. When I got it back, I drove it for one day and then traded it in on an Audi S4 the following day. That's probably the best trade up I've done aside from trading my Mercedes CLK for a BMW M5 on Monday.

Did you pay the S4 owner extra cash or was it car to car?? that's one crazy bargain!!

CLK what? A normal CLK??? where do you get your trade-ins from!! I want to live in America!!!

I'm really surprised that there aren't any Camaros!!

I read somewhere here that a member had a lift kit on a truck, that's basically the sickest thing as a first car...nothing beats a truck with a lift kit!!


Keep em coming, don't be shy to share your 2nd or 3rd cars as well... or any car that has special sentimental value!

Thank you, I absolutely adore my SLK.

Not a lot of desert trips but I often go once in a year just to have fun, actually i am more of a sportscar addict however they arent good for everyday use with the heat, dust and parking spots, speed bumps in our streets. The SUV is very convenient however I'd love to add another sports car to the stable this time an exotic.

Yea, you've got a point there...It gets annoying when you start actually LOOKING at the road and crossing each and every bump sideways.

What have you got in mind??

Mine was the first one in Kuwait back then with the spare add wheel, I think it looks unique and we got it off the lot like this as it wasnt ordered by me.

Lots of cars, I really dont have one personal favourite as it falls directly to the budget.

Maybe a new DD

Maybe a new sportscar

Currently nothing on my mind, maybe in a couple of years.
