    1984 Chevy spectrum. Technically given to my when I got my license, but less spectacular since it was worth less then the money I paid for out of school driving classes. It was a zero tolerance motor so when it snapped its timing belt a month later it was gone for good.

    Similar year Hyundai excel I think, tiny hatchback. Was one of the only cars I've owned that I never connected with. Just hated it.

    96 regal x 4 at least. Most white, one their dark purple mmmmm, and a black. All 3.8l. A legendary motor although not in any of these.

    1984 caprice estate wagon, loved the shit out of it.

    84ish ltd crown Victoria, I'm a sucker for boats. One of my most memorable

    74 dodge scout truck, rattle canned it black and strapped a tickle me Elmo to the grill during the monster hype surrounding them way back when. It made people sad.. Another great chrysler that never let me down. Might be the only one I sold. Can't remember if threw it away or sold to brother in law

    76 ford f100, stout 390 that would get down and move $1 per mile to drive. That plus a tiny bit of smoke is why it got thrown away.

    79 dodge st Regis. The Canadian version of... Hmm I forgot. Was essential a box caprice but dodge. Totaled, guy ran a stop sign @50 + and fucked my car up. He got away and I got a DWS and no insurance ticket lol.

    73 ford comet, indestructible /6 250. Was baby shit green with holes in the floor board. Loved it so much I've tried to buy at least 4 more but owners are always reluctant to sell.

    Nissan pulsar, forget the year. It did it's job but never connected with it either. Fuck em. DUI in it. Can't remember what it's end was. Probably gave to my father until it was time to throw away.

    79ish Pontiac Catalina. Almost identical to the st Regis color and body wise. Still a sucker for boats.

    Generic chrysler 80s-90s minivans. They're nice to have around, always have enjoyed them especially the 1 manual I've owned. Probably 5 of them in all. DUI in one of these, tis when I quit drinking.

    66 plymouth fury II, 383 big block 4 door beast. No competition it's my favorite. Pops got it 12+ years ago and we daily drove it for basically the whole time. It's in "the middle" of a full rebuild, not for show reasons it was just time for an overhaul. Except the engine it's still perfect and has never been taken apart beyond valve covers. Ever

    66 fury III had intentions of having twins. This one had a significantly smaller engine (poly aka wide block 318) and parts were near impossible to find at the time so she became a donor car for the fury II and went to scrap very quickly.

    68 ford galaxie 500. Current daily driver. It is just a place filler until the fury gets back on the road. Baby little 302 and a wonky transmission. Had to dig deep into the engine when I first got it and consistently blows ignition condensers every 300ish miles to this day. It's ok but doesn't fill the void in my heart for the 66.

    99 mazda 626, just overhauled it and is my wife's daily driver.

    73 nova, lil baby 250 /6 but it was cool, I was young when I had it.

    I've never sold a car, they go to the first scrap guy I find in the nickel ads aka get thrown away as we've come to call it. Its a pet peeve of mine, I'm content with buying a car to rebuild even if I know it may never see the road (it's happened more then a couple times) but will not have selling a lemon on my conscience even if the buyer has had full disclosure. This confuses people who know me because I'm an asshole which is true but cars are my soft spot. Aside of selling a lemon as an excuse, it'd kill me to see someone driving my cars. Like normal people feel about Ex's I assume.

    Oh 96 chrysler cirrus

    95 I think Isuzu trooper. The year right before they sold the design to Acura for their mdx. Single 18" on a real 2.5kw rms, massive front stage/midrange. Capable of playing into the mid 20s with no problem and even more capable of causing very serious discomfort. Easily 5x as much into the stereo/deadening/electrical upgrades then the truck was worth. Starter went out while I was in a very bad mood so I yanked the system, batteries and 300a alternator out and called a scrap guy.

    Mitsubishi galant probably late 80s. Ok I think that's it.

    2 of the Mini vans, the caprice wagon, the fury III, at least one of the regals, are vehicles that either never hit the road or only did a couple times but never legally or safely.
     
  4. Here's my list since 16 years old

    2006 Ford Mustang GT

    2004 Nissan Titan

    2002 Ford F250 Diesel...dumped about 13 grand into it making it fast and had a 12 inch lift at the end. Prolly my fav truck of all time. Couldn't kill the damn thing.


    2007 Chevy 1500 Z71. Total GARBAGE. Truck was brand new and ate oil broke down 4 times in a month. Looked cool on it's 6 inch lift and 35s but it was junk...typical Chevy I knew better but bought it anyways


    2010 Dodge 2500 Cummins Diesel. Loved this truck. Dumped another 18 grand into after buying it brand new. Last dynoed at 980 HP at the rear wheel. Full built tranny twin turbos you name it I prolly had it. Best truck in the world until I wadded it up into a irrigation ditch on the west end of a cut corn field one late drunk night off-roading with a cab full of buddies. Frame damage so that truck was a goner.

    Next up was a 2011 Ford F150 Ecoboost. Also a great truck. Lots of power and good on gas. Miss this truck also.

    Now I have a 2010 Ford Expedition Limited all decked out with every bell and whistle for my wife and kids. And I have a 2010 VW Jetta TDI for commuting to work and such. Not nearly as cool of a vehicle I'm used to driving but it's a nice little car. Great mpgs too. Hopefully get another diesel truck again soon

    I got my license when I turned 18. My first car was a 04 honda accord ex v6 coupe (I think its paint was called graphite pearl. It was a dark gray). I didn't have any bills except for that and my insurance so I almost paid it off within a year. I traded it in for a new 05 anniversary 350z (also dark gray buy lighter than the honda. Silverstone). I sold that to carmax when I needed a more family friendly car cause we couldn't put my son in the trunk lol. Started just sharing cars with my mom and grandma who lived with us. They had 04 Kia Sorrento and 05 gmc envoy Denali. Just bought a white 2011 Chevy cruise in dec and I love it. I hope so own somethin by Audi when I can. I've always loved their cars and think the s5 is what I need in my life :)

    Tldr:
    04 accord ex v6 coupe
    05 anniversary 350z
    2011 Chevy cruze
     
  13. My first car: 1976 Plymouth Duster 360. (Last year the Duster/Valiant models were made...was ordered new by my folks--at my "suggestion"--with the 360 engine package, which was still available.  Inherited it in '79, drove it daily until '86, when I sold it to a guy who was going to restore it.
     
    Next--'86 Ford Mustang GT fastback--black/gray interior/5-speed. Racked up about 145,000 trouble-free miles on it until i traded it in for...
     
    -'91 Ford Mustang GT fastback--another black/gray interior  5-speed. Ordered this one as a radio-delete car, then had a killer sound system installed (with a 10-disc CD changer and a component amp, but no subwoofers--I still needed to use my rear cargo area once in a while!) Kept it for 13 years, moved with it to California, replaced the original engine with a rebuild at about 225,000 miles...added big Baer disc brakes all around and 18-inch billet wheels...sold it in 2004, with only 315,000 one-owner miles on it! (It was also a project car at the magazine I worked at--that's how I got the parts & stuff for it, by showing the installs, etc.) 
     
    -'94 Ford Mustang GT convertible...triple black 5-speed with all options including leather seats. Bought it used in '04, and was going to make a project out of it as I did the '91. However, a job change and a move from CA to FL prevented that. Sold in '09 to a guy from gainesville who was looking for just this sort of 'Stang to restore/modify.
     
    -'07 Dodge Charger Police (my current ride, and the reason for my screen name here). Bought from an upfitters' shop, it only had 18,000 miles on it--and had never been used as a patrol car--when I scored it in February of '09. It was a project car, too--cold air kit, throttle body, cats and exhaust were replaced, and a 93-octane tune went in, as did a Sony sound system that fit all the original dash/door speaker openings. It's a great car for long-distance driving, and the in-town gas mileage isn't too bad (if you keep your foot out of it). It also scares the shit out of some people, and causes others to lined up behind it on the highway, like it says "Official Pace Car" on it somewhere.  
     
    Of course, if I should happen to win the lottery, there will be some additions made....:)
