My wife laughed at me / hates me for roughly guessing the ID on the cars on a house plan drawing of a garage: 80's 911 and a BMW e31 is my guess. What are your guesses?

I guessed the cars before reading your post and came up the same. I thought F body on the left at first before really looking at it.

I didn't notice the vents at first, so I was wrong on the Porsche, but I'll be able to clock an OG 8 Series anywhere. The 850csi is one of my favorite cars

I got to drive an 850csi 6-speed about 20 years ago at the tire shop. We were putting all four new tires on it and I haven’t even seen one in person since. Plenty of 840’s and 850’s in auto but that one manual stayed with me.

Oof. 850 chat sent me shopping for one. Couple of nice ones, including one very close to me, and an even nicer 840 if I wanted to avoid the V12 money pit, but "you might also like" showed me one of my other highly prized BMW dreams:  '94 540i 6-speed, 150k km, clean as a whistle. "1 of 3 Avus Blue E34 540i/6 - RHD of the 249 HE52 ever made and only one with Light Silvergrey leather" asking NZ$28k. All the M5 speed, none of the M5 bills. Some real nice 635CSi's too.

Every couple of years I wistfully look at 8 series and watch the prices on them tick farther away from comfortable attainability, especially the manuals

I like the e31's, and wouldn't say not to one. But I don't know if I like them enough to fork out the ~$40k that a manual one with 180k km goes for around here. I have a stupid dream car I'd rather get my hands on... an AMC Eagle.

I could have bought a running & driving E30 M3 for $12,000 about 15 years ago and didn't.

There is something truly magical about a big gently caress off V12 GT car with a manual box.

As an owner of one, watching him tear down the BMW S65 engine was fascinating. Clearly not something you want to do with your own, but amazing to see someone that knowledgeable do it. I'm "relatively handy" but I need to take photos of everything I disassemble every 45 seconds or I am definitely not putting it back together right.

I've kinda given up on my rocket wagon.
