[STi from DSM]

1989 Mazda 323 - My first car. This thing got 42 MPG at a time where gas was $0.85 a gallon. (1998) Super slow, but for the best being a teenager

1995 Buick Regal (My friends put GT on the back in mailbox letters) My first car I actually got a loan for. Had this in college. Good commuter car and comfortable. The 3800 Series II was a rock solid engine

1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS - White, my first car with exhaust. Had a cannon on the back of it. My first manual as well. I remember driving past it every day when it was for sale. Wings west front bumper and white wheels. Sharp car, but slow. 140HP.

1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T - Green, I bought this in South Dakota from a kid going to school to work on cars. This car was nothing but problems and I ended up selling it a few months down the road. Lots of goodies on the car and a super loud SSQV blow off valve made it one of my favorites.

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi - First car I bought when done with school. Had my first real job out of school at 3M and bought this. My dream car when I was going to school. This car is and still is my favorite car I have had. I drove to Neenah WI to get it. Loved every second of this car. I had to sell it when I proposed to my wife. Rings are too expensive! Had to downgrade to the below and really feel this was the turning point of my car addiction.

2003 Audi A4 1.8t Convertible - Had to downgrade to buy my wife her ring, this was a fun car, but it was so slow compared to the STi. Had lots of issues with this car including the Transmission Control Module which went out on this car and I had to pay $3400 to fix. Luckily Volkswagen had a class action suit about this very issue and I got my money back.

2013 Subaru WRX - My first new car. It was black, a 5 speed, and super cheap to mod. This is still my favorite style WRX/STi.

2015 Subaru STi - first and only leased vehicle, this is when I met Scott Putnam at Minnetonka Subaru. Great guy, bought two cars from him. He let me test drive his personal car as they did not have any on the lot at the time. This was the longest I ever kept any car at 40 months. A record I don't know if I will ever be able to break again.

2018 Audi RS3 - Nardo Gray, special ordered from Audi. I ended up hating this car and got rid of it 3 months later. Went back to Scott at Minnetonka Subaru to get the below car.

2018 Subaru STi Type RA #391/500 - Black, This car sat on the showfloor for like 3-4 months, when I finally bought it the 2 most expensive cars ever to pass through the dealership at that time were mine. (The RS3 and the Type RA)

2019 Audi RS3 - Mythos Black, Drove to Oklahoma to get this right around mid-peak of COVID. Hard to believe this car sat on the lot over a year! I got like 14k off on this thing. An absolute steal! I ended up getting AWE Track Exhaust for this car and it was one of the best sounding exhausts I have had on any car. I kept thinking I needed more space though. So I got the below car. Terrible decision! Never should have sold this car!

2020 BMW X3M Comp - Black, I really tried to like this car. I got it on a terrible winter morning in December. I had to drive my RS3 with summer tires in 6 inches of snow about 25 miles. Then had to take this vehicle also with summer performance tires back home in that same snow storm. I got a Remus exhaust for a decent price from a forum member and ended up sinking a ton of money into a brand new winter set for the car. I kept it 4 months and traded it in. I never really liked this car. I know it sounds weird to say. I actually liked my 1989 Mazda more than this car. I'm strange.

2019 Audi RS5 Sportback - Black, Got this car in Chicago. GREAT experience, awesome dealership, great drive home. (The morning for this was another blizzard going from Minneapolis to mid-way into Wisconsin. Summer performance tires again on the X3MC). Loved this car. Loved the utility in the Sportback design.

2018 BMW M5 Base - Singapore Gray, was going to do a YouTube review on this car, I ended up coming home with it. My second car from Motorwerks BMW. Andrew Nylin is a great dude. Still keep in contact with him. Great Salesman! Had AWE Track Exhaust on this car and all I can say is WOW! The best sounding exhaust I have ever had on any car EVER! The sound was absolutely magical. It was so loud I had to cold start the car with the garage door closed. I actually startled people when starting this up which made me smile.

2021 Audi S4 - Quantum Gray, It seems like a big step down and looking back it kinda was performance wise, but the S4 looked cool and was quick enough to satiate me for a little bit. Had AWE Track Exhaust put on that I bought from Audizine. Sounded really nice, but wasn't loud enough for me. I kept looking at RS5's though as I really wanted to be back in an RS car.

2019 Audi RS5 Sportback - Navarra Blue, drove to Iowa to get this one. At a BMW dealership nonetheless. Had a shock issue on it when I bought it but they fixed it for free. Great car with 0 issues other than I could never get the speakers to sound right in that car. Bang & Olaffson is usually pretty good and was on my other RS5 of the same year.

2022 M850i - Twilight Purple, that brings us to the bad mama jamma I am in right now. The coolest car I have owned by far and it gets the most attention by far. People will literally hang out their windows to give me a thumbs up. It makes my day everytime! A few mods from the previous owner, all tasteful like I would do it up. Looks amazing!

I have switched many times to and from BMW. The last few cars has been either BMW or Audi. The Germans know how to make good cars.

A few honorable mentions:
Scott Putnam - Now at Bloomington Subaru. Great guy and really into Subarus. One of the best Salesman I have worked with. If you're in MN check him out.
Andrew Nylin - Motorwerks BMW. Also an awesome dude and great salesman. Great to work with. If you're in MN check him out.
Darrel Jefflo - Bob Moore Audi. Great dude in the Oklahoma area.
Nicollet - Porsche Downtown Chicago, one of the nicest people I have ever met. She helped me move all of my shit from the X3M to the RS5 when she didn't have to.
