POLL: Name all the cars you have owned in the past, even non

[Guest Anonymous]

Gotta include some my dad owned but I drove regularly to make it sound decent.

'80 Pontiac Grand LeMans (i.e., Chevy Malibu) -- looked nice but slow as snot with a 229 V6-auto; had been in the family since '84 and became my high-school car in '95

'85 VW GTi -- 8V, CR 5-spd, we were second owner in '98 (first was a family friend); my dad bought for me as my college car, wish I had it back

'89 F-150 -- 300 I6, 5-spd; dad got it for me to drive for the summer of '99 working for a camp in TN

'93 Plymouth Acclaim -- slow and boring but decently reliable with 2.5L four and 3-spd auto; my wife's car, bought for her in 2000 before we were married (still have)

'91 Mercury Grand Marquis -- a boat I sold as soon as was polite after the wedding (my wife had been given it by her folks)

'71 2002 -- the stock beauty my dad bought new but that lived with a friend for a while; a gift from my dad in 2001, about six months before he died (will have forever)

Once I have a garage, I'll also inherit my dad's '54 GMC 1/2-ton pickup with a 5-window cab and original 270 six/4-spd automatic drivetrain. It's a nice truck.

I need to buy some cars of my own -- only one was a car that I actually picked out myself, and that's a Plymouth Acclaim?!?!? Anyone got a winter-car candidate? :-)

Here's the list:

'69 BMW 2002 Florida w/ sunroof, died of rust, RIP

'65 BMW 1800 the nk disease begins, sold

'71 BMW 2500 co-owned w/ best friend, wrecked

'71 BMW 1600-2 gift from best friend, sold

'91 Nissan Sentra SE-R my first new car, sold to my sister w/ 240k, should have kept it

'65 BMW 1800TI because I needed something to tinker with, still have it

'88 BMW 535i my first "family car", traded it for the tii but wish I still had it

'73 BMW 2002tii the reason for the next two beaters, still have it

'85 Toyota Camry $500 beater w/ all my money going into the tii, sold

'91 Nissan Sentra SE-R because I was tired of the Camry, mismatched paint and dents everywhere, sold

'02 Subaru WRX wagon practical & fun, still have it (and it'd better last awhile)

'70 BMW 1600-2 Maisgelb w/ sunroof, just arrived on Monday, bought it because I missed my '69

Plus a few 02 and Neue Klasse parts cars along the way...

Nice to see some longer lists. FWIW, my wife has owned only 3 cars and thinks that one car should be enough. Somehow, she has learned to live with my disease but still wants her own garage space.

ISO: more friends and relatives with empty garage space.

Not likely.

I'd have to change my name to:

Delia Nicole Smith

I bought it as a reward for a succesful year as a designer. I'd just returned from Korea and needed to give myself something. I'd not had a new car since 1979, so I went out and found the most powerful and frivolous car I could find...275 hp and top speed of 160mph. White on white leather...looked like a chest freezer on steroids...one of just less than 2000 produced.

It was fun for the first week. After that, I wanted something that was a little lower in profile...a car I could pick my nose in and not get caught.

I drove it on the highway at speeds over 145mph. It was a rush, but that was the only thing it would do - go fast.

I sold it after I missed a deer at 100+ mph late one night on the Interstate.

I now prefer jewelry as gifts.
