Remembering past rides.
 

I know this has been done to death but I'm just bored and trying to remember them all.



85 BRAT 93-95
[88 Spetrum
[83 LTD II
87 GL-10 turbo
81 GL wagon Safari ed. 4x4
77 BRAT
[87 ParkAve
88 GL-10 wagon 4x4
91 Legacy Turbo *
85 XT 4x4 turbo
92 SVX *
88 GL-10 wagon 4x4
91 Loyal wagon 4x4 *
90 Legacy wagon AWD *

The * marks the cars I still have.

11 Subys in all, the [ cars were my girlfreinds or given to me. Why would I buy something other than a Subaru?

each car has a great story to go with it but it would take and entire forum by it's self to type it all.

The last thread we did that for, I was a little scared of how many car I have owned over the years. Quite a few more than I had thought. :eek:

Good point considering the first one was accuired in 93, That averages out to a car a year.

Oh I want in on this.....

83 chrysler lebaron (it talked baby!)
89 Ford ranger GT with 5.0 engine stuffed in it
1991 CRXsi
some year Subaru DL (it was my dowry :rolleyes: )
1993 Eclipse GST
1997 Honda Civic
1992 Dodge Caravan (it was free)
2002 Forester
2003 Legacy
1992 SVX

I personally would like to add a Turbo legacy in 2005 and a 2002 S4 would be nice to have on the list as well.

So what will you be driving next year?

You're worse than my cousin on cars! (He owns a Viper now)

Lots of stories, especially with the old Dodges

not so many for as long as I've been driving, but still a few (with small added commentary) and more or less in the order acquired

92 SVX - what I drive today + a 75 Norton Commando

Bikes:
68, 71, 72 Hondas - 305, 350, & 450 if I remember correctly
72 & 75 Nortons (besides the one I still have)

Cars:
59 Chevy Impala - my first car, 283 w/3-speed
65 Plymouth Sport Fury - first big block
62 VW Bus - late 60s necessity
66 Dodge Coronet Wagon (sleeper - fastest qtr miler I've owned)
66 Dodge window van - early 70s successor to above
65 Mustang - 289, not as good a car as it looked
65 Buick Riviera - I loved this car - my sister destroyed it
72 Ford Pinto - biggest POS & I bought it new - dumb
71 Ford F-100 - moving motorcycle across country
71 Karmen Ghia - heavily modified & 914/924 smoker
71 Fiat (2) 124 Spider & Sport Coupe - fun cars
65 Ford F-100 - moving again
65 Plymouth Valiant - acquired as 2nd owner in 1982 - gave it away to a needy family
68 Volvo 145 (I think that's the model - wagon anyway) worst car I've owned - traded it while it still ran for a set of VW wheels
73 VW Super Beetle - bought 84, converted auto to manual in 85
84 Chevy (impala? POS 6-cyl, auto, basic trans)
88 Mitsubishi Sigma - Japanese gadget car
69 Ford F-150 - thought I'd try a pick-up again - mistake for me
84 Mercedes SD300 - wanted to try a MB, probably not again
91 Toyota MR2 turbo - a very reliable, go-fast, roller skate

This list leaves out my wife (lots of mindlessly boring cars, mini-vans and now an '02 4-Runner) and car's I've bought for 3 of my kids (Honda Prelude, Mazda RX-7, Toyota MR2 - non turbo tho, Lexus ES-300, Ford Probe, Toyota Celica). One more kid to get through - he's 15 now.

That's a lot of kids ;)

Previous cars owned, hoping I don't forget any:

59 Ford Prefect 100E - First car. Sold it after 3 yrs. The buyer totalled it.
60 Austin Mini Van .. no windows, very convenient
66 Ford Cortina MK II GT - Oh! to have it now
65 Hillman Imp - 875cc, rear engine, RWD. Rally trim. Zoom, Zoom
66 Hillman Imp - Parts car to keep the 65 running
73 Pontiac Ventura - 4 door, 2 spd auto, YUK
74 Mercury Cougar - YELLOW, officially lime green.
76 Chevy Impala Wagon - 4x8 rear deck, fantastic
74 Buick Le Sabre Luxus - 455-4BBL, WOW!!
86 Chevy Cavalier - Ownly new car ever owned
86 Buick Century - Brain Fade!!
87 Nissan 200SX - 3L, V6 in a roller skate
79 Pontiac LeMans Wagon - needed to keep the 200SX garaged in winter
89 Chevy Astro Van - Sold the LeMans, got this
92 Nissan Sentra SE - Bad decision.
93 Subaru Legacy Wagon - Still have it, SUPERCAR
98 Mercury Mystique - Another bad decision
96 Subaru SVX - Say no more
88 Subaru XT6 # 1 - Great car, if I ever get it running again
88 Subaru XT6 # 2 - Parts car to get # 1 on the road.

Didn't mention it, but I agree - the 93 Legacy wagon is by far the best all-around car I've ever owned.

re: sorry for the o/t
 

sorry for the o/t but i was wondering if subafreak still have any parts for a gl-10. actually looking for a driver side cluster switch :D.

83 chevy malibu
88 ford thunderchicken 5.0
89 suby DL wagon* 4x4
[88 suby DL wagon 4x4
[86 suby GL hatchback 4x4
[88 celica*
92 svx ls-l (his)*
[92 svx ls-l (hers)*

Next??? Maybe when a couple tricycle motors come along the TT legacy will be sold here. I imagine its a pain to strap a rugrat into a child seat in the svx.
