Owned an Audi a3 Sportsback 2012
Polo 1.6 2010

Wife drives the family car so it's all good.

Wow I.T guys seem to be the chosen ones!

I cannot confirm or deny that being an attorney is a good/bad thing on the grounds that it may later incriminate me

86 is my wife's daily drive
mine is a Fortuner
+ have a 02' MR2 Spyder Turbo

Got the 86 coz i wanted something which i could put sideways on a regular basis and still have it be reliable.

The MR2 isn't coz it has too many aftermarket mods.

26 Serious relationship,
No kids,
Robotic Water jet Programmer/operator/maintenance, Design engineer

I got the car for two reasons. 1) I foresee serious life events (marriage/house/kids) coming soon and if I didn't buy it now I might never have the chance. 2) I wanted a new/reliable drivers car. Front engine, rwd, and 6 speed for track events/autox.

I got the car because I drove it and fell in love with it. Also, I'm planning on having a pre-midlife crisis and this is the beginning.
