History

I've had it since Tuesday, it's Thursday so I'm on day 2 and I do love driving the car, it puts a smile on my face, this is the first luxury car I've owned. Maybe I'll start with my car history so you can get to know where I'm coming from. I'll look for some pics that you check out.

I cut my teeth on a 1985 Ford Escort. It was manual. I learned on a manual, which was tricky at first, but once i got it, it was fun to drive... the manual that is, not the Escort. The escort was crappy, but as a 18 year old, it was the car I had, so I was stoked.

At the same time, my mom has a 1968 VW camper bus. I loved that beast, it drove like a tank, the stick was crazy, but it was fun to drive.

I married a woman that came with a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutless supreme. It was a huge beast, automatic, comfy but way too boat-ish for me.

I leased a 1999 Honda Civic down in LA, where we moved it. I loved this car. The civic was a blast compared to the Escort, which always broke down on me and the Oldsmobile. Unfortunately the lease terms sucked, so we moved on to my last car.

1999 Camry. Bought in 2002, with 34,000 miles, it was cherry and we loved it. I used it as my primary car for many years and I had it until last week which got to 229,000 miles on it. Never really gave me problems. Good to drive, lasted forever. Just sold it to a kid up in Los Osos for $2,700. I'm sure it will last her a number of years still.

That brings me to this blog. BMW. The Ultimate Driving Machine.

This blog will have my adventures in the world of DIY and what I do to keep my car running smooth like butter!
