Too tedious to list.

But I can say that I've owned more motorcycles than cars...

OK-this IS crazy!!! Whose idea was this? Some cars were sold at a profit, some at a loss, but the SALES TAX that I will never get back? Probably the coolest story is one of my 57 fords ( 2 dr hardtop with t-bird engine) was purchased in high school from another student. It wouldn't start and he told me $25 and I pay for the tow truck. I gave him $25, got the title, pulled out a distributor wrench and changed the timing and drove away with this 57 ford. I could never top that. Went on to get a degree in automotive and taught woodshop (?) for a very long time. I'm sure I missed a few but have pictures of most.

In order and sometimes at the same time:
66 Ford Galaxie
68 Ford Torino GT - super fast in a straight line, not great in corners. Wish I still had it.
70 Pontiac Parisienne 'vert - so very big. So very cool.
74 Pinto wagon (with wood trim)
78 Chev Malibu - rare factory 350 4 speed - scary fast
74 Olds Cutlass - Rocket 350
80 Chev Citation - 1st FWD
83 Camaro Z28 - hmmm...was after divorce
81 Pontiac Lemans - less speeding tickets
83 Buick century
84 Honda Civic
87 Plymouth Horizon - I know, after I had a Pinto
84 Honda Prelude - loved it, wish I still had it
81 Olds Cutlass wagon - what a great car (with wood trim)
87 Ford Aerostar - JUNK
84 Chev S10 pickup - JUNK
88 Honda Civic
89 Dodge Colt - surprisingly capable little unit
88 Ford Taurus wagon - (didn't come in wood trim)
91 Ford Taurus wagon - (still no wood trim)
97 Pontiac Sunfire
97 Dodge Caravan
84 Ford F150 SuperCab - got sunk in the lake and was never the same
02 Dodge Caravan - it was awesome with the 3.8l and full load
97 Toyota RAV4 - great little AWD but it got broadsided
84 Chev El Camino - started as a v6 car - many thousands, a 327 and finally a 350 later...sold. Stupid, stupid, stupid. But then this Jag came along...
02 Jaguar X-Type - could have kept it but replaced it later with...
05 Jeep liberty
99 Dodge Durango - still going strong with 314k kms when I let it go
05 VW New Beetle - error in judgement
07 Jeep Grand Cherokee
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
which brings us to the current:

10 LEXUS RX350 - mine for at least another 5 years
04 LEXUS SC430 - replaced the Jag and mine FOREVER

and...as of tomorrow

80 VW Vanagon Westfalia - just so I can join another forum. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Phew! Not bad. I've been driving 41 years and only had 34 vehicles, if my count is right.

Boats not included. Don't get me started on that pile of money spent!

Far-too many to list! (I started driving/riding in 1961) ...but here are a few highlights:

'59 Chevy Impala (my first car - my mother totaled it while I was in the Army)
'64 Chevy Impala (yep, she totaled that one too while I was in Vietnam)
1959 Corvette Convertible (white with red interior and side-scoops - a real chick-magnet )

1969 Hemi Roadrunner - 426 Hemi with TWO Carter AFBs on a cross-ram manifold. It was my first brand-new car...I custom ordered it from the factory set up exactly the way I wanted it..It was a three-month wait to get it, but it was an amazing car. My son was actually born in it, LOVED that car, but the "Gas Crisis" hit, and since it got around 5 MPG, I couldn't spend all my time waiting in line for gas, so I had to sell it.

A bunch of VW Bugs at various times over the years (when I was poor - never paid more than $500 for any one of them, but they were easy to keep running)

A couple of Fiats; 750 Spider and a Fiat X1-9 (reason I got divorced - long story)
An MGB, and later a Midget, a Bugeye Sprite, a Triumph Spitfire, a TR250, & later a TR7 (my "British" phase - but I got tired of dealing with Lucas electrics ....Lucas was the Man who invented Darkness)

A whole bunch of various Hondas, Acuras, a few Mustangs, Mazdas, a Jag & BMW or two, an SL500 AMG, and even a '77 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser and Toyota Chinook pop-up camper!

I built a Supercharged '95 Honda Del Sol (one of the first Sebring Superchargers) that I had for about ten years. It was a real mind-blower on the street....a real "sleeper"...one of my favorites, but that was before Honda's became the fart-can-muffler kings of the street...

A 2000 Harley Edition F150 (first year they built them - most beautiful truck Ford ever built) I had it for over ten years - loved that truck, but no room to store it after I bought my SC430

Probably another hundred or so mundane Fords, Chevys, and other cars and trucks here & there.....just far too-many to try to list.

Lots of various bikes over the years also (avid motorcyclist), including Hondas (CB160, 305 Scrambler, 900RR), Kawasakis ('80 Z1-R & a Mr Turbo ZX1100), a Suzuki GSXR1100 (that damn-near killed me), a '79 Moto Guzzi Lemans (great bike, except for the Lucas electrics), A '58 Triumph Thunderbird, an couple of Harley Panheads, Knuckleheads and an AMF Shovelhead Lowrider (stolen), ....and on & on & on....

Currently I have a 2006 Chrysler Crossfire (6-speed manual ragtop), a 2011 VW CC (Turbo), and a 2008 SC430 (My first Lexus! - Black Sapphire Pearl/Camel), and three Harleys (an '88 Softail, a '90 Softail, and an '89 FLHTC Full Dresser)...
If I had more room, I'd have a lot more ... I'm an old motor-head and love mechanical toys!
