What cars have you owned???
What cars have you owned???
I've been accused of changing cars more than my underwear...this is of course not true, but some people think so - including my best friend. I guess I figure if I can't be Jay Leno and own every car at the same time, I can at least keep changing cars and own them separately one at a time...hehe
Here's a list of mine:
1. 1974 Toyota Corona 4dr (it was 'sucking' 4 qts of oil per 10 miles driven at the end)
2. 1974 Fiat X 1/9 (troublesome but lovable)
3. 1974 VW Super Beetle (accused of being pink, was actually Porsche Raspberry)
4. 1980 Fiat Strada (was sold to me with major frame damage)
5. 1978 Fiat X 1/9 (recipient of the Fiat Strada engine since its frame was toast)
6. 1981 Fiat X 1/9 (loved this car - silver w/black wheel and blue interior)
7. 1974 Fiat 128 Sportcoupe (wish I still had this - loads of fun)
8. 1981 Toyota Starlet (you wouldn't think it, but it was a fun car)
9. 1980 Fiat 124 Spyder (frame had a crack in it)
10. 1981 Fiat X 1/9 (project car never finished)
11. 1984 VW Jetta 2dr (dumped a GTI engine in it)
12. 1986 VW Scirocco 16V (loved this car, fun to drive & capable of constant 125mph...tested)
13. 1981 VW Rabbit Pickup (spent 3 years fixing it up and modding it)
14. 1988 VW Fox Wagon (used but like new - tricked out and modded)
15. 1989 VW Jetta Carat (silver with sunroof, loved this car)
16. 1997 VW Golf Trek (bought new - sold for same $$$ amount 1.5 yrs later)
17. 1997 Geo Tracker (bought new - was keyed after 3 months - most reliable car ever owned)
18. 1998 Chevrolet Venture (bought new - too many problems & dealer sucks)
19. 1990 Audi 100 (damaged by hail - totaled)
20. 1995 VW Jetta GLS (bought for $3700 sold for $5450)
21. 1995 VW Cabrio (damaged by hail - too much $$$ to fix)
22. 1988 VW Fox Wagon (bought car back - damaged by hail later - totaled )
23. 2001 Ford Taurus SES (surprisingly I really like this car - dark blue w/sport package)
24. 2001 Ford Focus SE Wagon (rare sport package & only yellow Focus Wagon I know of)
In between I've had 4 motorcylces also, sometimes in place of a car.
Man, is that all???
Edit: since some of you are adding little stories next to the cars I figured I'd add some too ...

My God blade...you had a Fiat X1/9 also??? I used to work on those cars with a friend of mine who owned a mobil Fiat repair business. Wow, a fellow X1/9 owner...I'm impressed
We used to take the 1500cc engines out of the newer models and put them in the earlier lighter models - they were fun to drive and I loved the Targa top

I had one of those too. Mine was an old Kansas Highway Patrol car with a 390 Thunderbird. That thing would do over 120 then you had to shift to high gear.Originally posted by blade
