Report from Gezzerdom
Greetings Kiddies!
As perhaps the only representative of gezzerdom here – I’ve got a long list of cars owned. I’ll summarize since most aren’t worth a mention. A few good ones, some so-so, but mostly crap until later years when I could afford something better.
They include: 4 Chevy’s, 1 Jeep, 1 Dodge, 1 Plymouth, 2 Thunderbirds, 2 Oldsmobiles, 1 Rambler (I’m so ashamed), 1 Buick, 1 AMC Javelin, 2 Pontiacs, 1 Cadillac, 1 Chrysler, 1 Lincoln, 2 BMW’s, 1 Triumph TR-3, and 1 Lexus.
Ones of note:
’64 Corvair – a really neat, fun little car, bright red, 110hp engine, 4 spd, lots of fun (and only paid $450 for it). Ralph Nader didn’t agree with me.
’55 Triumph TR-3 – a real sports car – didn’t even have roll-up windows – lot of fun, lots of upkeep, lots of cold wind, rain leaks, etc. – but still fun.
’81 Pontiac Gran Prix – easily the worst car I ever owned – a real piece of *****.
’79 BMW 528i – this was before it was cool to drive a beamer – it was fast and handled, but lacked sophistication. I guess it was one of the first real sports sedans.
’83 BMW 528e – the devil created the “e” engine (or maybe it was Hoover or Eureka) but it was otherwise a nice car.
’87 Lincoln VII – that was a pretty good car – fast, luxurious, nice looking – a pretty good car.
And finally, my beloved ’92 SC400 – bought it in ’92 and still drivin’ it – still lovin’ it - I’m approaching retirement and don’t want to spend many k on a new one! Bet I have the baddest ride in the retirement home!

garnet92, seattleSheila,
hey old timers, I would have had a 1977 Oldsmobile coupe with tan vinyl seats, but it blew up before I was of Driving age...dad bought it new back in 1976! First car since migrating over to the US. He still has fond memories of it...but since 1988 (when it died) he/we have never owned an American car. (we had a dodge ram 4x4 ext.cab in 1995, but for only 2 weeks). Oh well the old man is 51 now and happy with his Volvo and Honda.
I still think an old vette stingray is hot old ride!
