I'm on my 4th e92, but my first car ever was a Lincoln aviator. It wasn't made for the mud, but I definitely took it off road on more than a few occasions.

To be completely honest, it's made me consider a range rover as of late.. Just because I want to go back to the woods.

04 G35....getting hauled off after it got flooded. Was looking to get an E93 anyways...the incident just pushed it a little forward.

Previous to that was an 08 Audi TT Conv. Along with an 03 WRX. Both were flooded as well. I know I know...I need to move!

Previous to my E92 I drove a tastefully modified 2005 Subaru Legacy GT which put down 435 awhp and 464 ft/lbs when I was done with the mods. While it was a fun car, I was ready for something a bit more refined.

I had a 2002 Mercedes S430 until roughly a year ago.. and then I just borrowed my mom's Audi until I picked up the E92 in the fall.

I miss the S-Class.. even with the W220 chassis' flaws there is simply something majestic and charming about a huge German barge. But 7 sec. 0-60 couldn't cut it and AMG's are too much

2008 Saab 9-3 SportCombi (station wagon) with 6spd stick in very cool Polar White with the Parchment interior, just like the cars in the 2008 Saab Brochures. So Swedish it should have come flat-packed from IKEA. A great car, 85% as good as my e91 for about 60% of the cash. I still think the Saab 2.0T motor is overall a better engine than the N52.

Sadly the combination of Saab's impending dirt nap and BMW threatening to stop selling wagons in the states caused me to sell it on. No regrets, but I do miss it at times.
