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.

Re: What other cars have you owned?
I am going to leave out the ones that I have bought for my wife and only include the ones that were my drivers.
1978 Dodge Aspen - Most hated car I have ever owned. 1984 Chevy Celebrity - Hated this car too. 1983 Honda Civic - Really loved this car, kept till it started smoking real bad. 1988 Chevy Spectrum - Awful POS Car, only kept it for 3 months. 1986 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo - Turbo or not it still looked like Colt, hated it. 1992 Ford Probe LX- Loved this car, and I miss this car. Great vehicle. WISH I NEVER SOLD IT. 1992 Ford Escort - Surprisingly good car. A hand me down from my wife. 1999 Toyota Camry - Talk about bland, I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought this? 1995 SVX Lsi -Was looking for a Outback when I saw this. Sold when repair bills got too high. 2005 Mazda 6 -It's a great car, my current daily driver 1992 SVX LSL - Regretted selling my 95, decided to pick this one up.

Re: What other cars have you owned?
A similar thread was started about 9 years ago and can be found HERE.
No. I ain't doin' THIS again. See page 4 for details. Since then - Still the batmobile plus a '93 Nissan 240SX - reluctantly sold; a '96 Dodge Grand Caravan w/230K on it; & the stable pony for the SVX, an '01 Miata SE. Ron.

Re: What other cars have you owned?
Wow. I feel under-motivated.
I drove my parent's 81 Monte Carlo for a year, Bought an 88 Mustang 4-cylinder LX with my own money in high school, through more than half of college, until the trans died the second time... and unloaded it. Bought a 93 Probe GT V6 in college, until I got married. Traded the Probe for a 2000 Ranger 4x4 XLT when we were moving around. Sold the Ranger when I bought my current 2005 Legacy GT Limited, back in 2007. Bought the SVX a while later as a second driver, and to keep the SVX from being crushed. The only other car is my wife's 99 Miata that she bought in late 2001 before we got married, and still drives. Not a lot of cars in the last 18 years or so...

Re: What other cars have you owned?
I figured this would be a re-post. I tried to search, but there's no way I would have gone back 9 years.
These are some great lists. Lots of really cool cars here (Brougham Baby!), and some interesting overlaps (another '79 242GT owner, lots of Subarus and two Opels!). I updated my first post with a pic of each, so go check them out here. Keep 'em coming, this is fun.

Re: What other cars have you owned?
The ones that made the biggest 'impact' are the ones that I drive now, and a few from my history.
I still have the 61 Ford ragtop that I drove as an 18 year old. (40 years ago), I still have the 47 Dodge truck that I 'dated' my wife of 23 years in, I still have the 65 Plymouth Barracuda that I gave her for our 3rd aniversary. I still drive the 97 Outback that I bought 8 years ago. Wife still drives the 97 Outback that I bought for her 6 years ago, I still drive the 91 Dodge extended cab that I bought 8 years ago and the GMC that I bought 7 years ago. Stuff that went away...... 72 Porsche 914, 65 Jag Mk 3 saloon, 1970 Ford PU, 1969 Benz, 220, 63 Buick Riv, 65 Pontiac Tempest, (3) 57 Chevys, a couple 65 Cudas, A 67 Plumouth Sport Fury, a 69 Sport Sattelite, 3 Rambeler Americans, 3 Buick 'specials', Etc, etc, etc!

Re: What other cars have you owned?
-1990 Ford Taurus LX Station Wagon 3.8 v6 complete with bumper stickers all over it. Got rid of it after the head gasket blew, those 3.8s where found of that XD.
-1988 Buick Regal Custom 2.8 v6 also full of bumper stickers. This would be my last car to be meet with a bumper stickery fate. Got rid of this after it was turning into a money pit. -1993 Eagle Vision LSi 3.3 v6. Didn't have it long, tranny died, no surprise there. I really hated those Chrysler autos from the 90s, their open diffs, so many of them failed. -1991 Geo Prizm this was an alright car had to get rid of it cause the body rotted away XD. -1987 Chrysler New Yorker Turbo 2.2L I4 Turbo. Really comfy leather seats and the car talked to you... which was cool for like 10 minutes but then got kinda annoying. The voice sounded like a possessed speak and spell. Got rid of this cause it was also turning into a money pit as well. -1999 Pontiac Bonneville SE 3.8 v6. Ah, my first reliable car. I bought this with only 60k on it, still own this car. I gave it to my fiance' when I got my SVX. It is a very good car that hasn't given me hardly any problems. -1992 Subaru SVX LS-L Dark Teal. My current car, I love this car! I wanted this car for over 10 years and I was able to finally buy it from my uncle last year . Currently has 152,500 miles on it. |
