      When I bought my car in 2001 it was one of very few new affordable turbocharged cars available, had a solid reputation in rally, and aesthetically was my favorite car on the market. I didn't know a whole hell of a lot about the "scene" or about modding imports in general when I first bought the car.

        I bought mine because I needed a new car, and it was the best bang for the buck. I had a few other cars on my list, but this one made the most sense.

        Plus it's the fastes car 3vAr!

                I got mine cause it was 2dr, 5spd, lightweight (great power to weight ratio) and small, good handling, have a lot of potential, reliable, good gas milage. They've also been in the tuning world for years so there's plenty of parts out there, and had set many records in drag racing when imports started getting popular.

                  I knew I wanted RWD, good mileage, and something that really makes you feel like you're driving, not being driven. Its that intangable feeling where you become the road.

                  And its probably the only RWD car that would fit my budget.

                  They call me, old man...

                    Conquest, because when I had my fwd n/a audi 5000 I wanted something rear drive with a v8. So I got a 95 tunderbird that was reliable and plush and looked great. Then I decided I wanted a car with these requirments: RWD, 5sp, 4 cyl, turbo, and Independant Rear Suspension. Only one car fit the bill.

                    Chocolate Rain ;)

                      I had been looking at BMW's on ebay since I was like 14... and I always wanted one, so when I was able to come up with the cash it was one of the first big things I bought.

                      Adam and I went and test drove the mercedes and it was fun as hell (also another car I had been wanting since the previous generation), and I kinda impulse bought it the next day. I kinda regret it but whatever...

                        Because it was cheap, RWD, and plenty of aftermarket support. And it's not a Honda.

                        Plus Sileightys are hotter than buttsecks with Keyra Augustina.
