I guess I was driving before most of you were born. But I started young. Here goes, in order of purchase. Mostly I like 'em big old and weird (Acuras and Saab were new car purchases largely for wifely use):

'63 Corvair 700 sedan (I was 12 and it didn't run)

'60 Chev. Bel Air sedan (I was 13 and it smoked like crazy, but it least it ran)

'59 Cadillac Coupe de Ville (I was 13 and only owned for a few months, but it infected me with a fin-related disease that I still have - see below)

'60 Chev. Impala 4 dr. flat top (bought at 13, and actually got to drive it; hung on to it through high school; great party car)

'69 Volvo 142S (boring, but it saved my life when I got hit and it rolled)

'67 Rambler American 220 sedan (even more boring, but I bought in '77 from little old lady friend of the family w/ 14,000 orig. miles.- got 10 years and 100k out of it)

'69 Lincoln Continental sedan (suicide doors; sold it to blues band I was living with; maybe its on an album cover somewhere)

'59 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special (still own 25 yrs. later; this car controls my life; it introduced me to my wife and so far has made me buy 2 houses due to its particular garage needs)

'87 Mazda 626 - I'm turning Japanese

'86 Acura Integra coupe (convinced my now wife, who I met due to the Cadillac to buy one of the first Integras; my first experience with a new car)

'92 Acura Legend (wonderful family car; made me begin to appreciate Japanese luxury)

'77 Volvo 245 (commuter-mobile bought w/ 217k on it; grille held on with shoelaces)

'76 Buick Estate Wagon (455, fake wood paneling, factory corduroy upholstery and factory mags- that 70's show in your driveway; daily driver @ 8 mpg. Yikes)

'73 Mercedes 300SEL 4.5 (bought as daily driver in 2000; almost as impratical as the '59 Fleetwood; if you think LS 400 air supension is a nightmare, try this. But oh that wood and leather! Sold it to buy LS)

'02 Saab 9-5 Aero wagon (still own- fun ride for a wagon, but mostly a wife-mobile)

'98 LS 400 (my new car- bought '07; took me a long time to come to my senses, but after driving 20 and 30 year old cars for most of my life, it still feels like a brand new car; first one that was all mine with a factory cassette deck, let alone CD player!)

next up- '05-'06 ES 330 for the wife, and maybe something else w/ fins to keep the Caddy company

Great post! Love the descriptions...


Maybe just a fish bowl to hang from the Caddy's rear view mirror...

Spacepig

I may just do that if I can find a little fish bowl! I'm also into living things with fins and have a 110 gal. saltwater reef tank, so the theme would fit.

Since I was 15 I have only owned foreign made cars. I do not remember if the 2001 Toyota Camry was made in the U.S. or in Japan. So if the 2001 Camry was made in the U.S. I still consider it a foregin car. I currently have two Lexus. They are great cars to get me around town. When I want to go crusing, it is one of the Aston Martins. The DB3 isn't driven much. I am in the process of having it refurbished since I believe it is more of a collector's car.

CARS:
1969: 1956 VW – a 6 volt battery and either a 1000 or 1100 cc engine!
1970: 1967 Datsun 410 – four door
1972: 1968 Datsun 510 – two door
1974: 1970 Datsun 240Z – thought that it was the best car ever made!
1975: 1970 Datsun pickup – small but did the job
1978: 1978 Honda Accord – four door (first new car)
1985: 1985 Toyota Celica – 2 door hatchback
1992: 1992 Toyota Camry LX – 4 door (first car with leather)
1998: 1973 Aston Martin DB3 coupe – sold my Datsun 240Z for $16000 (new was $2400)
2001: 2001 Toyota Camry LX – 4 door Impressed with my first one, not so much with this one
2005: 2001 Aston Martin DB7 coupe – couldn't resist!
2007: 1993 Lexus LS400 – Mint condition with 87k miles.
2009: 2004 Lexus LS430 – Mint condition with 32k miles. It was a steal of a deal.
2009: 2008 Aston martin DB9 coupe – Wanted the DBS but didn't want to pay another $100k.
In the next two years I will buy a LS460 and maybe the Aston Martin DBS
