For some reason I just felt like showing my current fleet.

1991 BMW 325i, 237k, given as a wedding gift.

1991 Ford Festiva, 87k. Love this little car for some reason.  63 hp, no PS, no power anything, but you really feel like you're DRIVING when you drive it. 

2004 Yamaha Vino 125. Great little commuter and run about.

Whoah, you're close to me! I'm in Richmond. Looks like a fun fleet. I miss my e30.

I look at that fleet and think to myself "that dude hates freeways" 

Well chosen.

I hope it's okay to admit I'm digging that vino.

Awesome, feel free to let me know if you ever need a hand with a project. I'm busy with grad school right now but starting in Spring I'll be more free. And I plan on selling the E30 soon (I need a four door soon!)

It's definitely okay. It's funny, I heard Matt Farah say he had one on a podcast recently, and I felt vindicated! :) The 125 is really pretty great. It feels so much more maneuverable than a motorcycle and gets something like 80 mpg, yet 0-15 mph it's pretty quick. You just have to not care if you look cool!

No kidding! Sometimes I crave a Toyota Avalon or something when I get stuck on the freeway. The Festiva is my main car at the moment and it's not too bad, it has enough torque in second to make it okay, but it still wears on you. The 40ish mpg helps me feel better. Fortunately my commute is a 15 minute scooter ride to a BART station then 40 min on the train at the moment. 

mr2s2000elise, sounds like a helluva score!
