How many cars have you owned?

[teflon6string]

My 71-year old friend Dan is on engine #4 in his daily driver, an orange '72 Super Beetle he won brand new - at Disneyland!

Growing up in my rough neighborhood, you didn't buy a car, you borrowed one, or, at least until you got caught.

Now just Wrangler and a truck. No more tickets.

Heard that! After I finally sold the beemer and got a Nissan PU to pull my boat, I got my license back and insurance eventually back down under $100+/mo (a LOT in 1985).

I wouldn't recommend starting out having a 62 Polara 500 413 dual 4 barrel max wedge as your first car, but at 17 that's what I had.
4 cudas. 273, 340, 383, 440
2 challengers. 340s
3 roadrunners. 360, 383, 440
2 darts. Both 340s
1 demon 340
Trucks? Lots. From Telstas, digger derricks to flat bed line construction rigs, crew trucks (too many to remember or list)
1 76 bronco 400
3 toyota forerunners
4 toyota 4x pickups
Today- 2004 dodge Dakota 4x
2009 tundra
1970 AAR Cuda 340 6pak pistol grip 4 speed, fully restored.
Oh ya, granny's old 95 Plymouth 225 slant 6 with 37k on the odo, runs like a top (this is where everyone giggles) that was left to me because she knew I liked Mopars!
2 alumaweilds (1 inboard 8 and 1 outboard 90)
2 pacificcity dory's
1 maxwield 454
Still have my 19' customwield inboard v6
My old 14' clackacraft drifter I started with at 18.
There's others my feeble old brain will remember later, mabie?

Holy Crap! Another total MOPAR-Phile.
I miss my 273 & 340 A Bodies real bad sometimes.

Had a bunch of cars starting in 1968 at 15. The first was a Dodge 880 with a push-button transmission. The current one is a 1T Chevy Silverado Duramax dually. My favs:

'67 Pontiac Firebird convertible with 3 on the floor. (pic from internet)


Sunbeam Tiger Mk II with 289 and Muncie trans (pic from internet)



Jeep Cherokee with flared fenders and 4 on the floor (pic from internet)



- Modified Jeep CJ2 with lots of diamond plate to cover the rust and new paintjob

- A '65 Ford PU with a straight six and 3spd with granny. Wood racks and skinny tires. Hauled a bunch of wood and went anywhere in mud holes that mudder rigs couldn't go.

- Also an older Jeep Cherokee crummy with lots of rust. It apparently had either turned over in a river or submerged in a lake because it had a lot of sand above the headliner. We bombed around in the woods for many years in that rig.

Wants: a Baja Bug or a side by side 4wheeler.

Heres the 67 not too many people would race after hearing it idle. Corkey Luther in Lewiston Idaho built it. Lifelong Stock car racer to Drag Racer. It was his tow car for his roadster. Raced at Spokane. His wife drove the wagon. Fun to shame the shiny ones with.

3
A 1986 Chevy suburban (which I have owned since I was 15 and is my go-to adventure wagon), a 1999 jeep Cherokee (which I still have and love) and a '86 Subaru wagon (which sadly met it's demise when I was smashed by a drunk driver at 9am in Brooklyn- too bad because I loved that one too). When I find something that works for me I tend to do everything possible to keep it running...

 

[HuckleberryFun]

Geez, can't you guys just pick a good vehicle then stick with it?
Since 1985: 6 good cars and 1 good horse.

I like the lace paint. '66 or just '66 nose on a '67?

 

[Stinkerbelle]

Only 16, inluding all of those owned by my wife and I (since the ownership line is blurred on some cars) since i got my drivers license in 1976. Plus 6 motorcycles, all dirt bikes. No, I'm not a car guy....

 

[Portaledgepete]

10 total.
1. '74 Ford Courier, first vehicle
2. '68 Chevelle sedan, giant rusted out p.o.s.
3. '68 VW bus, giant rusted out p.o.s.
4. '79 Toyota Corrolla, my grandma bought it new, I got it when she went blind. Tough little car.
5. '83 Tercel SR5 wagon. Loved this car, tough as nails. It was great for hauling beer and climbing gear to Yosemite, even after a bear ripped one of the doors off.
6. '94 Nissan King Cab 4x4 pick up. Good truck until the engine went nuclear, yeah it was my fault. First vehicle I ever owned that had all of it's paint.
7. '90 4-Runner modest lift and suspension kit under it. Great platform, but the auto tranny was driving me nuts so I dumped it.
8. 2008 Subaru Outback XT. Still got it. It's good.
9. '74 Jensen Interceptor III. Most exotic car I will probably ever own. Sold it to a family member to buy the best vehicle I haver ever owned.
10. 2003 Porsche Boxster S. I love this car, 3.4L flat six, six speed manual, big Brembo brakes, and dialed suspension, all packaged in a light weight chassis. So fast and fun out in the twistys of our great nation.

It was most likely a 66 and a brain fart on my end. 5 of us kids would ride in the back from Lewiston to Spokane to watch the drags. Pit passes and all. Great memories.

My Cherokee crummy negotiating Rock Creek near Anthony Lakes.


My Dodge towing rig. The only new car I've ever had


My Ford 3/4T Camper Special headed from San Diego to North Carolina in 1976 for USCG Avionics school. Yamaha RD350 on the front.

Funny. I grew up in the boonies (BFE) where we drove to the bus stop when we were 12 years old.

Geez, that's a beauty. Should have a 426 wedge in there to make it a real "old ladies" car though....
