I won't bore you with a list of everything I've owned, my wife says my hobby is buying/selling cars:)
Highlights:
My first car - 67 Cougar XR7. Loved it, but as a high school kid, I didn't have the $ to restore.
72 Ford E300 - yes, 300, 3/4(I think) ton flatnose van with a 3 on the tree, a 351 V8, and 16.5" rims. It was badly rusted and I only paid $150 for it. But that's why I loved it - it was so cheap, I didn't care what I did with it. Also made some spare $ pulling tourists out of the sand at the beach in Daytona.
73 Road Runner. My dad picked this up and decided it was too fast for him. The PO had a shop in the same compound as my dad's, and the engine was built! It had a reverse Starsky and Hutch paint job - pearl white with a purple stripe. Beautiful car, but it needed premium gas along with octane booster or AV gas to avoid pinging.
86 GMC S-15 4cyl 4 spd - my first brand new vehicle bought after I joined the AF. Base model that I lowered a couple inches, added some nice rims and a decent stereo.
91 Geo Tracker 4x4 - say what you will, but the vert top was fun in the summer, and I fitted 30" tires on the stock suspention. it lasted me 13 years, before I passed it along to a friend that drove it another 5 years before passing along to someone else.
09 Dodge Ram - man I miss that one, and I only had it a year. Bought when gas was just over $2/gal - then a year later, its $3.50 and climbing, and I'm doing 80 miles a day at 17 mpg. Couldn't afford to keep driving it. Was going to buy a small beater to commute, but the wife convinced me to sell the truck and buy a nice small car instead. Shouldn't have listened.
08 Mazda 3GT - my current car. While I miss my truck, I have to say, I bought the 3 because it's so much fun to drive. Handles amazing in stock trim, and has everything but a sun roof and Mazda GPS. I added GPS/DVD/MP3 system, and some RX8 rims, and that's about it. The heated seats are GREAT this time of year.
