I'll try this out, I'm sure I'm going to miss a whole bunch.

1972 Beetle
1970ish VW Camper Van
1990 Mazda RX 7
1995 ZR2 lifted Sonoma Chev Truck
1995 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo
1998 Pontiac Firebird Ram-Air WS6
1996 Chev Yukon
1998 Ford 150 4X4 V6 Short Box
2000 and 2003 Jeep TJ 4.0 L
2002 Pontiac FireBird WS6 - Last year model was made
2003 Chev Duramax Quad Cab SLT Diesel
2005 Nissan 350Z
1993 Mazda RX7 Turbo
2008 Chev Duramax Diesel SLT Q Cab again
2006 Corvette Z06
2010 Nissan GTR - wife's
2008 Dodge Viper
2011 Ford Mustang Shelby

I inherited the first 2 as my first cars, so the first RX7 was really my "first" car that I bought on my own.

I think that's most of the cars and trucks, motorbikes would take too much thought and effort to remember them all, have to be around 30 or 40 I think including dirt bikes.  Still have the 08 Duramax, going strong with 250k Miles, or whatever just under 400k KM's is in imperial.  Still have the GT-R and the Mustang which will go on the road next week now that all the snow and remaining crap on the roads is finally gone.  October 10 2012 till May 3 2013...longest winter non bike riding season I can remember this year....

edit- Grayeagle's list was the coolest by far, but lots of other very cool lists and pictures, some with many cars I had really wanted myself - the Eagle Talon TSI was something I lusted over when it was new, but never did get one.

99 oldsmobile alero - retired at 353,000km after whatever was knocking gave out. had it for 6 or or so years. thing would cruise at 80mph all day and get ~30mpg without a single complaint...
2002 subaru impreza...bought it cheap with a blown transmission, swapped it out on the cheap, installed a few different parts from higher trim levels and a sound system. have a couple pipe dreams for it, and so far its taken quite a bit of abuse.

nothing special. other than the AWD the alero was a better car in every aspect.

It was a looooooooong time ago. I think full time 4wd, no locking hubs. Reeeaaaaal wide single valve cover. Gas engine. Beyond that, had a camo respray. Not me, po. Traded my panel truck for it in jersey. Was good in the pine barrens though. Then got the cm400e and moved to Vermont.

ah

J10s are 70s only,

Had to look online, now a bit intrigued. The wide valve cover looked the same (from my vague memory) as the cover on the Tornado I6 engine, which would place it 62-64 and possibly a J20. So I really don't know.

good lord GE you get through a lot of cars!

please tell me you didnt write them all off! :D

Oh heck no .. some I got offered far more than I thought they were worth, some I traded in,
..only one I ever 'scrapped' was the '64 Malibu
..pulled out all the goodies and had the car towed to a junkyard
..it just wasn't worth much in 1976 and I needed the room to build the Duster :)
All the go-fast chebby stuff financed the go-fast mopar stuff I needed for the Duster ;)

Only car I ever 'totalled' was my '87 CRX Honda ..LA city workers were tearin up an intersection
down in Chatsworth and the light sequence was screwed up right when I went thru..
..got hammered makin a left turn by oncoming traffic I did not see till too late, we both had green light.

The Honda bounced ..like shootin pool ..spun a 360, crossed the intersection, stopped with the motor still runnin.
The other car hit just ahead of right front tire and basically wiped the front end off just ahead of the radiator.
I had gripped the steering wheel hard at moment of impact ..broke all the bones in my left hand tween wrist and fingers.
Still have a titanium plate screwed in holdin it all together.

Honda's .. they run till someone runs into 'em or you trade 'em in :)

Lets see I started my car addiction in 96...

85 Mercury Capri 5.0 5-Speed
85 Mustang LX 2.3
86 Mustang GT 5.0 Auto (Nicknamed Lurch because of one nasty shift kit)
85 Mustang GT 5.0 Auto
91 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer
77 Corvette (We all have our moments where we buy something dumb)
91 Mustang GT 5 Speed (Car came from an even trade on my 85 Capri)
89 LX Coupe 5.0 Auto (Became a 5Speed after 2 AODs bit the dust, car went 11.60s n/a)
03 Honda Accord V6 EX-L (First brand new car)
05 Acura RSX Type S (One of the best cars I've ever owned)
03 F-250 Ext Cab Long bed
05 Acura TL (Current)
95 Mustang GT-S
93 F-150 Lightning
82 Mustang GT (Current Project)
12 Ford Escape Limited V6 (Oddly enough, I love this little SUV) (Current)


I do like your taste!  What are your plans with the 82 Stang?

BTW, I love the Ford Edge.  I have tried to talk the wife into trading in her Volvo XC70 for one, but she really loves her car.

I am thinking of buying an old fox body stang to make a drag race car. When I get back to the states I'll start looking for a platform.

yeah I'm seeing an interesting trend here from all corners of the globe - most of us who've run them like Hondas :aok


you're wrecking ratio is a lot better than mine, of the cars Ive owned:

3x sold
2x stolen
2x written off (one of them twice!)

A buddy and I were talking about all the vehicles we've gone through since getting our licenses at 16. I figured it would be fun to see what everyone else has owned.

In order (i'm not going to list my wife's cars even though they are technically in my name)

1992 isuzu pick up
1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs-T
1991 Plymouth Lazer GS
1995 Miata
1982 Nissan 280zx Turbo
1997 Nissan 200sx SE-R Turbo
2002 Corvette Z06
2004 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab
1990 Mustang 5.0 notch back
1989 Mustang 4cyl notch back (this car was a roller that was going to be built for drag racing)
2007 Suzuki GSX-R 600
2000 Corvette FRC (fixed roof coupe)
2006 Cadillac CTS-V
1995 Miata (not tagged, strictly an auto cross car)
2003 Yukon XL (current family vehicle  :frown:)

You can see I started as an "import guy" and finally saw the light after getting tired of spinning my front wheels while racing. 15 cars in 15 years of driving  :uhoh

Geez, is there an insurance company that'll cover you after going though all those?  :D
