Lol, too many toys... most memorable ones:
First car: 1980 Mercury Capri (think wimpy mustang). Manual and one of Ford's first injected motors. It would die idling in neutral. Traded it for...
1979 TransAm. Red and white, mean and nasty. One of the best handling older cars I've had (no joke). Became my first race car, still have it, sorta. Had a 515cid olds big block, ran high 11's in the quarter on drag radials. Wicked fun car.
1977 TransAm. Bandit special, awesome power, fun to drive also. Had 130+k miles before a bearing decided to bite the dust. Shoulda kept it anyways.
1966 Firebird. Bought as winter car, was so rusted out that the rear pass. leaf spring rested on the trunk lid. The rear would change lanes before the front.
1980 Mercedes 300SD. Turbodiesel, gave new meaning to the word 0-20mph in one minute.
Darn fast once up to speed though.
1986 mustang gt. Had the heads rebuilt by a pro shop, car caught on fire five miles down the road. Finally won my case against them and bought...
1987 mustang gt. First car I supercharged, ended up putting 503hp at the wheels. Ran low-mid 11's on slicks. Sold it to get a...
1989 vette convertible. First autox car, blew the ps pump the very first race. Was punished by the club to being cone man for the next two events.
1989 mazda mx6. I only mention this car because I got it for free from a friend for some work I did on his car. It had 160k miles on it when I got it, used it as my fishing/beater car for a couple of years, then gave it to my little brother, who finally sold it with 250+k on the clock, still running, and still on its original clutch. Heck of a hard car to kill, took a licking and kept on ticking. This is the longevity I should be getting out of the MINI, but I expect I may fall short.
1990 ZR1 vette. Owned it briefly, I believe it's the fastest car I ever owned (and the fastest I've ever driven). Awesome car.
2001 Sebring convertible. Fairly fast but terrible suspension and handling. Got hit by a semi almost head on, but walked away from the crash with only a broken collar bone. I posted pics of it in the forum, the car is pretty much a death trap in a rollover. I don't expect to be involved in another crash like that, but I do expect in the eventuality that the MINI will perform much better, safety wise.
Many, many others, less notable, including a slew of other convertibles. I plan to drive vertibles till the day I die, preferably not while driving though.
