    Nuvolari, I had a 1987 325e in high school. That was a great car...maybe the ideal car for a 16 year old car enthusiast. Rear drive, enough power and torque to be interesting but not enough to do anything too stupid, and those great German brakes for when you get in over your head. I wish I still had it...

    As for the college years, a 1990 Jeep Cherokee. Another great rear drive (part-time 4WD), straight six, lightweight car. The really don't make 'em like they used to.

    Replaced the engine with a 2 litre, built it in my bedroom, mom loved, dad did too and repetedly asked me WHY?

    I had a 1984 Celica GT hatchback and a 1958 Alfa Romeo Giuletta spider. Rarely drove the Alfa, but it was always fun.

    You know you're in trouble when you find your car completely buried in the snow, and have to poke around (gently) to locate it- happened to me more than once. That 3" ground clearance on the Marcos wasn't too handy either, but I'm guessing the Pantera was a thrill to drive on icy roads. A local guy had a Boss 302 TVR Tuscan, and regularly rear-ended whichever unlucky soul who had the misfortune to be stopped in front of him.

    Without seeing the back window, but based on the bumper, I'd say around 1964?
