What vehicles have you owned?
 
Seems everyone has fond memories of this car, or that old truck that they had. Why not get a thread going listing all of the vehicles you've owned?


For me, it is:
1997 Grand Am, 2 door, 2.4L auto
2001 Regal GS, supercharged, rare edition (1 of 150 made)*
1992 Regal, 2 door
1987 Isuzu P'up, 1.9L (or 1.8L?), 4spd stick, 2WD (40+ mpg)
1995 S10, ext cab, 2WD, 4.3L auto*
1996 Grand Am, 2 door, 2.4L, 5 speed*
* = still own

Oh, fun! I was just thinking about this last week - wondering if we'd done this thread before. I don't think we have - at least I haven't replied to one before.

We have done this one though:

I've had quite a few, mostly because all through school, I would buy a car, fix it up, keep it for ~6-12 months, then sell it. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat... The money I made covered my fuel/insurance and maybe left a small profit, so I drove for "free" (minus cost of the initial car) for quite a long time.

Will get back to you on this one! Will take some time and effort for 70+ vehicles
to remember all!

MetroMPG 12-26-2012 07:27 PM

70 vehicles... that's funny.

I've been telling people the last few years that with the vehicles in my current fleet, and considering how little I drive, I may not need to buy another car for the rest of my life!
