1970 BOSS 302 Mustang Fastback in Competition Orange, 60K original miles.
Had it all the way through high school re-built it myself w a few friends. I had to sell it for $10K my last year of college. My fiancee (ex-wife now) talked me into selling it so we could buy our first house (now her house).
The irony still kills me. Oh well, I do have a 993 now!

I bought it last year in TN by way of Elko, NV, and it is all original. It runs absolutely perfectly and I can never imagine selling it. I guess that makes this OT, but I had to share since I didn't ever think there would be much overlap between 993 owners and bus aficianados!

I'll add - it's the best BMW ever. I'm currently restoring one to EVOIII 2.5 liter specs - 238HP, 2800 pounds. Later M3s are not the same type of cars, unfortunately.

Haven't sold my 993 so don't yet regret it.
Regret selling a 1970 Buick GS when I was 27.
Red (close to Guards) with white buckets and console.
Beat most TAs and long before I learned about corners.

I regret selling my 1966 Buick GS convertible... when I was 20 trying to pay for college.
Got 6X what I paid for it, but put in about 12X of labor over the 4 years I owned it to get it in great shape for the lucky buyer. My loss....
I miss you, you ole goat...

Hated to give up any of my former cars - but there are two that I really miss
1) 1964 GTO convert 4spd tri carb, didn't handle that well but went like a bat out of hell.
2) My 1980SC -black witha turbo tail. Redid the entire car then sold it to buy my 95 993. Sold it on saturday night. Decided I wanted it back but it was sold by the next day.

Bob D.- love that bus. Looks just like mine, except mine was orange. I want to buy another one soon to serve as a Home Depot runabout and people mover since the 993 and the MR-2 don't leave me much room for additional passengers.

TamiyaGuy,
She's currently being restored, so even though I'm driving her I don't have any pics. I'll try to take some soon. She's black on red with 17" E39 (BBS) mesh wheels.
Cheers
