@Brian Same reason my 911 and Ducati went, I just didn't get enough use out of them to warrant keeping them.

Not only did I not miss this moment but it’s where the total mileage landed at the end of my drive home tonight. Must’ve picked up this number thing from my dad!
I snapped something similar a few months ago.

Hey everyone, new to this forum but have lurked here and there over the years. Was pretty active on SuFu years back.
Anyway, just thought I’d show off a pic of my humble little weekend cruiser, Abarth 124 spider 6MT. For those who are unaware, these were assembled in Hiroshima on the same assembly line as the 4th gen (ND) Miata using the same frame and almost everything else. Major differences are obviously exterior bits, but also the transmission is from the 3rd gen Miata NC to handle the increased torque from Fiat’s multi air 1.4L engine. For me, this car is the spiritual successor to the 2nd gen Mazdaspeed Miata.
Mostly stock, as I don’t want to stress out this already high strung little engine. It’s a fun little car, though.

@Subprime back in 2008/09 I had a C230 hatch 6MT. That was a pretty cool car. It had the panoramic retractable sunroof before that was a more common feature. I’ll always have a fondness for 2000’s Benz’s

The Defender was my previous car, a the Vantage the one before that. The Spider was given to me by my friend, sorry of payment for work, but it was my first car. He even paid for the insurance.
I currently drive an Audi a6 Allroad that the original owner got painted to match his Bentley, so it’s 1 of 1. But very run of the mill. I adore it.

Yeah, it's a 6 seater crew cab, I got it blacked out......thought it looked kind of cool.....

Yeah, but that is what it came with. Did not put it on myself.
You know some thing are meant to be. Like the first big unit we got for Iron Heart was No 21. Had to have it....

Something like that ......
Ah, thought you‘re slightly younger then me…

Honestly, my dream car(s) are all from the 70s back. So... 67 Chevy Impala, Nissan Fairlady Z, the Porsche 911 Turbo 930 is the oonly exception since it's from 1975 I think.

@Giles nice! have a soft spot for those. looks really good!
