I miss all of my previous cars.
My #1 would be my old 2001 M Coupe. Reliability aside, it was a fantastic car to own-drive. It just looked soooo weird and um, ''original''
And the sound at 7600RPMs was just sex.
I wish it had the 6 speed from the new Z4 M Coupe though; the 5 speed in the Z3 M cars is just horrible in every way...Too notchy, too stiff, bad feel, etc...
The 6 speed in the Z4 M is MUCH better and feels great.

'91 Toyota Supra Turbo. Was my first car and a year into owning it the car would stall in traffic whenever it rained....it was a weird problem that we never could figure the cause of. It also had overheating issues and ultimately i ended up crashing it after a total of 1.5 years of ownership. I still get nostalgic every time I see a MKIII supra these days.

I miss my talon because it was such a good deal and just felt sooo fast (my own first car, used other family hand me downs before that). I do miss my 240sx, so cheap to own and gave a wonderfully underrated drive.
That said, when the S is gone one day I'm sure I'll miss it as well.

I also had an 87 Supra which I loved, but most of all, I miss my 93 MR2. I love that car so much and IMO was one of the best cars to come out of Japan. There is a guy in my building who has one just like mine but in immaculate condition. I am thinking of leaving him a note on the windshield that says "When the time comes you decide to sell it, call me".
The S2000 has made a fine replacement though.

I miss my Ram SRT-10. I had a 2005 red single cab which come with only the Tremec t-56 6-speed and of course the monster 8.3l V-10 viper motor. I did intake, exhaust and computer mods and had it up to 535hp/545tq at the wheels on race gas.
It was obnoxious in every way: Looks, performance, attitude, maintenance costs, fuel bill.. everything! LOL I got 11.2mpg over the year I owned it, but loved every minute. Even drove through winter on the stock Pirelli pZeros and did just fine.
Best part of having a mountain of torque was cruising on the highway at 70 in 6th gear... dropping to 3rd and stomping on it... and leaving 50ft of rubber.
They are so cheap now I'm contemplating buying another one as a weekend toy and keeping the S as a daily driver as I do now.
