Re: What other cars have you owned?

Jeez some of you guys have quite a history with cars.
First car purchased in University after I sold my
1) Honda 350 motorcyle. Sold it to buy my dream car a
2 1972 Datsun 240Z. I absolutely loved this car. Replaced both front fenders, rockers and had to paint it ever couple years to hide the rust but it was a great car... I still love those 240Zs. The 240Z was my summer car and my winter beater was a
3) 1971 Datsun 510. Loved that car too.
4) I eventually sold the 510 and bought a piece of crap Mustang. Maybe a 1974 or something like that. That car didn't last long before I scrapped it with a blown tranny.
5) Got married and bought a Dodge Aries. Basic car. Not fun to drive but I got 10 years out of it before selling it.
6) A couple years with a Ford Taurus I bought from my father-in-law. Another piece of crap.
7) Had a kid and thought I needed a van so I bought a 1992 Ford Aerostar. It was ok for a year or two. Useless in the snow. Even an inch of snow made this thing dangerous to drive... That was enough for me so for the first time in my life I traded a vehicle in to buy my first
8) 1996 Subaru Legacy. Absolutely loved this car. A few years later we bought a second
9) 1997 Subaru legacy for my wife. We still have this car. It's now a daily driver for my 21-year-old daughter. The car is rusting badly but still drives like it is new.
10) I eventually sold my 1996 Legacy to buy a
11) 1994 Subaru SVX which I still own and drive as a daily driver during the winter months. I absolutely love the SVX. Most comfortable car I've ever driven.
12) Meanwhile, we bought a 2001 Legacy GT as my wife's and our family's main car. Love this car too.
13) A few years ago I decided to relive my youth and picked up a beautiful 1981 Datsun 280zx turbo. I like this car lots and only drive it in the summer.
That's it for me. Right now we have four cars on the go
a 97 legacy wagon, 2001 Legacy GT, my 94 SVX and my 81 Datsun 280zx.
I think we are nearing a new vehicle and my research is leaning toward an H6 LLBean Outback.
