Okay, Let's see. I started driving my Dad's Ford out when I was 13. Got my first car when I was 16.
That will be the first one, 82 BMW 318i. Any one knows Dallas will remember when the Tollway was still being extended past LBJ. Had my Van Halen blasting, all windows down in the left lane when a 76 Monte Carlo ran a stop sign and decided to stop in front of me with about 3 car length. I lock up all 4 from about 60 mph till the tires blew and ended up on top of the guy (BMW design their engine to drop in an frontal accident to help obsorb the crash.) It was his fault.
The second one was on ice on a bridge. 83 BMW 318i.
The Third. 95 BMW 540i. After I had the 735 moded to perfection, had to give it up for the all time great E34 540 when it came out. I was turning left and the guy looked like really far away. As I pull out, he was in front of me. He didn't react to me at all. We had a head on collision. It was a 70's big 2 door, can't remember what it was. It was driven by a kid. My 540 spun 720 degrees with the hood landed about 50 yards away in the direction he was traveling. I walked away and he ran away bloddy. He claimed he bury the needle way over 85. Insurance took care of it and I do not know what happened to the other kid.
The 95 BMW M3 was a toy car so I lend her out to friends and family to drive. My cousin did the honor.
Most of these happened more than 10 years ago. So my insurance is okay now. It wasn't pretty. Had to mote around in a Mitsu pickup for a while.
