Hello all, On June 9, 2010 Aiden Enzo Hamler was born and weighed in at 8 pounds even and 20.75 inches. I'm already looking for his first car to stow away for later. I would love to have something that would be a classic in 16 years (i.e. 1st Gen Miata. Any suggestions? | | | 07-04-2010, 03:27 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | Haha, congrats, that is awesome. I say unmolested E30 325is will certainly be a rarity in 16 years, heck, they are rare now. NA miata isn't a bad idea either though. I just hope that manual transmissions are still around in 16 years... __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 07-04-2010, 04:21 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Oxford, Ohio Posts: 868 | Congrats on becoming a dad.

Serious Awwwww. Congrats Dad! (and Mom!) I think an NA Miata or an e30 would be tremendous choices for Aiden. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

There is a lot of work behind those young eyes. Parenting is the best and worst all at the same time, if this is your first child, you will quickly figure out what I mean by that. Get your sleep now! | | | 07-04-2010, 01:15 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | Thanks everyone; you guys are great. I've already been loosing a little sleep but my wife has really been affected the most. This is our first child and be are both in our early to mid 30s, I just hope that I can keep up with the little guy as time goes on. I was thinking of giving him one of the 332ti as his first car but I think it would be a bit much and I know he'll wreck it. I'm sure by the time he's of age the 2026 honda civic will have a 400 hp tri-turbo .5 liter diesel with some type of IA accident avoidance feature and he'll hate me for giving him some "piece of crap from the 90s". Only time will tell. | | | 07-04-2010, 01:47 PM | #10 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | I've always wanted to own a car that rolled off the line the day I was born. Perhaps that's an option for ya? If so, an M3 or M5 will probably still be cool in 16 years. :-) __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!
