It was my "learn to wrench car". Put in the engine and trans myself, new carpet and reupholstered the seats myself, even tried painting it myself which was a major FAIL, but hey I tried. Ended up having a shop spray it in the original emerald green.

I think you are confused. This looks like an Audi A8 to me.

i was 16 when my grandpa gave me his 1987 pontiac firebird, he bought it brand new and held on to it for me, it was black with a grey interior. Still one of my fav cars i have owned. The doors weighed a ton and it was so wide, but when it was clean it was a head turner

I had a 2003 330Ci and I loved it. It was modded to the teeth. Steal Gray with Gray interior. Got it with 45 miles on it and drove it until 40,000.

I had to get rid of it though as I went to college and couldn't handle it on the highway with straight pipes and uber-stiff suspension. But it handled like a go cart.

I will try to dig up some pictures a little later.
