I have owned in the past:

'75-'79 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT (I've owned three, wish I still had one)
'84 Ford Escort GT
'82 Audi 4000 Quattro Coupe
'87 VW Golf GTi

And I am thinking of taking a VW Quantum sedan with the 2.2L turbo diesel from my cousin and using it as a daily driver since it gets 50mpg.


We've had far too many vehicles over the years... In order of age, with date I acquired it in parentheses. Includes those I bought for my wife.

1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider (1971) Used for Club racing
1963 Willys-Jeep CJ-5 (1983) Beach beast. Buick engine.
1965 Corvair 110 hp (1969)
1969 Corvair 140 hp, 4 speed manual (1972)
1969 Triumph Spitfire Mk.III (1970) Club Racer thru the early 1980s
1972 MG Midget Mk.III (1972)
1978 MG Midget 1500 (1984)
1980 Renault R5 (1980) Perfect commuter car for its time
1980 Toyota Corolla SR5 Liftback (1980) 1st Wife
1981 Buick Regal Turbo (1984)
1982 Renault Fuego Turbo (1982) 1st Wife
1985 Nissan 300ZX (1985) 1st Wife...Yeah she wanted the automatic.. *%$$@=#
1986 Shelby GLHS (1986) King of autocross..
1991 Suzuki Sidekick 4 door (1991) Family life intrudes
1994 Dodge Caravan (1994)  2nd Wife
1999 Hyundai Sonata (1999) Family life still limits car types
2002 Subaru WRX (2002) My wife finally caves in
2003 Suzuki Aerio SX (2003)
2004 Suzuki Aerio GS (2004) 2nd Wife

Plus motorcycles:

1969 BSA 441 Victor (1971)
1976 Suzuki GT-185 (1976) Used down in GTMO, brought home.
1977 Yamaha RD400D (1979) A dealer leftover, extensively modified crotch rocket (called Cafe Racers back then).
1978 Suzuki GS750 (1978) That RD400 was substantially quicker.

My regards,

Widewing

I don't have any pics but here's what I got.

Bad weather or need to haul stuff - 2003 Ford F250 super cab.

Daily ride - 1983 Honda V65 Magna

Coming soon to an airfield near you - Van's RV-8A

Most likely going to sell the Ford soon. :(

If I ever find myself out that way, can I get a ride in the GT350, if I pay for the gas?

Cool, a car thread! Some fine rides here.

Roc, and Treize, I knew I liked you guys for a reason :)

Here's my old toy, a 66 Coupe 289/C4...currently undergoing a full undercarriage workover - disc brake conversion, full duals with X over pipe, 9" rear swap...



This is the car that I had for a few years and just traded in, a 02 GT 5 speed, stock save for a UPR shifter, chrome bullitt rims on Kumho tires & 3.73 gears..



And here's the new toy....an  07 GT convertible.



Strange, I drive Mustangs all the time, but rarely fly em online :)

Cool thread, nice to learn more about the AH community.

BTW, 5pointOh, great handle :)
