i think i may have the shortest list here:

1994 Nissan Sentra SE-R - bought used with 15k, what a car, heavily modded, i could just barely outrun my buddy's modded and chipped '99 A4 1.8T, totalled with 140,000 miles and original clutch!!!!

1988 Saab 900 Turbo - after Sentra got totalled, this was my father's spare car he gave to me that had 140,xxx miles and ran great, old Saabs are very underrated, ugly, but underrated

1995 Saturn SL1(?) 4-door - after I totalled the Saab (xmas party, long story, tree got in my way home ) i needed something quick to get back and forth to work until the '03 MCS i ordered showed up $1,200 and still own it great car for winter and to go back and forth to work with, saving mileage on MCS:smile:

2003 MCS 17 months and 17,000 miles of smiles!!!!

3 cars in 9 years of driving

I've had...

1977 Dodge Monaco (ex-CHP cruiser) 440, 4bbl Carter thermo-quad carb, dual exhaust, cop brakes and suspension, co -owned with a high school buddy. Pretty much the same car as seen in "The Blues Brothers" movie. It got 13 MPG, but could go in reverse at 75 MPH. Fastest forward speed recorded, 165 MPH! $900.00 Wrecked it!

1979 Ford Fairmont coupe (HS Grad purchase), bought new. $3600.00 Got rear-ended by a drunk, totalled!

1981 Dodge Diplomat (Ex-CHP vehicle), 318, from CHP auction $3175.00 Got towed off by the bank for non-payment!

1979 Dodge 150 Pick Up (also Ex-CHP), 360, was used by CHP for truck driver enforcement program, came with a camper shell. $1800.00 Sold it to a farmer after the odometer reached 214,ooo miles! Got $700 for it!

1985 Dodge Charger hatch-back, gift from parents when they bought a new T-Bird. Got rear-ended by an old man, totalled!

1985 Honda Accord, sedan, bought used. $1200.00 Quit running, too much $$$ to fix, donated it to a charity!

1991 Geo Metro hatch-back, bought used. $1800.00 Traded in, got $700 for it!

2000 Chevrolet Metro LSI sedan, bought new. $18,000.00 Still sitting in the street in front of our house. When I get a chance it's going to Carmax (Needs a brake job). It's just no fun to drive!

2004 Mini Cooper S, dream car! $33,000.00 Have had Union Jack for about a month, have put over 2000 miles on him! We want to keep him way past the time we can show him in classic car shows.

Wish list: '49 Merc Coupe hot rod, chopped down roof-line and Edelbrock case motor, lot's of chrome and bling-bling. maybe when I retire!

Current:

2005 MCS PH/W
2004 Ford F250 Crew Cab 4x4 Diesel
2004 H & H 38' gooseneck car hauler (why I own the F250)
2003 Subaru WRX
2003 Ducati Monster 900 Dark
1966 Shelby Cobra (being built...CSX4780 will be its number)
1987 Buick Grand National (x2)
1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am (Indy pace car)
1989 Ford Mustang 5.0 convertable
1929 Chevy/Pirsch Fire Truck (18000 original miles!! Still runs and drives)
1964 Chevy Impala SS convertable
1969 Chevy Camaro RS
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429
1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302
1985 Chevy Monte Carlo SS (first car bought with own money)
1979 Chevy Chevette (first car ever owned period)

At one time I owned my dream car for about 3 weeks.....a 1989 Ferrari Testatossa....sold everything I owned to by it. It was easy, I still lived at home with the folks. The look on my dads face when I pulled into the drive with it was truly priceless. After the requisite **** chewing and yelling, it was "gimmie the keys, I wanna drive." Um, yeah, gimmie died Dad. I don't think so. I sold it to another person a few weeks later, for a little more than what I paid for it, and a lot wiser. Then I started buying the list above...except for the fire truck. That belongs to the volunteer fire dept I am on.
