This car was purchased after no less than 6 hours of face-to-face negotiations with the original owner. She purchased it new in 1985 and wanted to make sure it would find the right home with us. It is as close as to time capsule Saab 900 as we have ever seen. It was featured on the Bring a Trailer website, but the original owner decided Bart would give it the best home out of the dozens of inquires she had received. Bart thoroughly enjoys the unique esoteric features and design that can only be found in an old school Saab.

This is number 533 of 680 S54-powered M Coupes built. It was the one car I wanted more than any other through early adulthood. I made huge sacrifices to get it, and that was before M Coupe values went stratospheric. I have since built it into a NASA time trial car classed in TTB. Time trial is the best venue to exploit the M Coupe’s athletic abilities and perfect my driving. It’s not an easy car to drive at the limit, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Tame its nasty habits and you are a hero; lapse your concentration for a millisecond and it will punish you dearly. Purists need not worry; every modification I’ve done can be put exactly back to stock in a day’s work.

The 1st Gen Toyota Tacoma is my favorite truck of them all. Small and light (for a truck), but highly capable and able to go anywhere in stock form the Tacoma is the truck that does everything. I have put this one through 250,000 miles of hard use and it has asked almost nothing of me in return. Reliability like this cannot be found in modern cars. It has been my home for extended periods, taken me to some of the most desolate hang gliding sites in Colorado, explored the deserts of Southern Utah, and even towed my racecar across country several times.

The AWD BMW 325iX dispatches snow like an ’80’s cocaine habit. Its lightweight chassis and perfect weight distribution telepathically communicate the road to the driver. Add a nominally split 37/63% all-wheel drive system with proper snow tires and the world is your playground when the white stuff starts to fall. In fact, it is almost too good, taking the fun out of snow days. I suppose that is a quality problem. Luckily, the E30 iX is equally fun in the dry, no E30 collection is complete without one. I think I’ll keep this one forever.

My Dad purchased this car new in 1972. MKIII Midgets were some of the most desirable having metal bumpers and the 1275cc engine producing 65-horsepower. He further customized it with a ridiculous number of switches and gauges, along with some other features I can’t talk about. It makes me giggle every time I drive it. Small and light it is slow-car-fast fun!

The E46 (1999 to 2005 3-series) AWD Sport Wagon is the driver’s alternative to the pandemic of cross-over SUV’s that have diseased our Nation’s roads. Why so many American’s favor fat, bloated, and ugly cross-over’s over sporty, efficient, and versatile wagons confounds me. From a pure physics perspective they are all wrong – heavy and tall. To make up for these deficiencies manufactures have festooned them with numerous safety nannies. In every way that a cross-over is wrong a sport wagon is right. This one is properly equipped for recreating in Colorado. We have driven it at great speed on the snowiest mountain passes for many adventures leaving a trail of cross-over’s blundering along in our wake. Long live the wagon!

I am smitten with the VW Carat. It’s like a cross between the 1973 VW Westfailia I had growing up and an E30. It lives in Southern California, where my pilot base is. Cruising the Pacific Coast Highway where it is most at home, serving as a launch pad for my SoCal adventures!
