Car lovers thread - How many have you owned and can you name them?

[HTV Boats]

The onset of "Mad-Cow" disease prohibits me from listing all the crap I have owned. For cars I started with a 58 VW bug and over the years my favorites were two Buicks, a 67 GS400 and 67 Riviera with a 430/ black on black with bickets and a console. If I could have two back to drive daily again it would be my 1990 Toronado Trofeo and my 2004 TRD Sequoya.

Oh yes, those Toronados were beauties and would smoke em and roll em. Jay Leno has one that he had powered by a jet engine.

Robin, I'm closing. I forgot 3 cars, one that I bought and wore out in Germany (86 Dodge Charger 4 banger) and an 88 Dodge/Ply Omni 4 banger when stationed in Kansas, and the first car I bought my wife when we moved from KS to TN - a 92 Ford Mustang V6. I'm only one behind you at 31!! lol

 

[James E Beasley]

Look out Robin, I just had another flashback. We are tied at 32 cars. Bought a 94 T-Bird LX V6 for my boy and he was supposed to amke thepayments, instead he blew it up and did not make the payments so I had to repo it. Put a used engine in it and drove it for a while then sold it, but I owned it. Got rid of the bad memories almost! Better get your memory buds cranked up or I am going to pass you ye ole bearded one. lol

B) B) B) B) B) :lol: Work bombers both of them...I had a 5 gallon boat gas tank in the trunk of the Fairmont plumbed into the fuel line because the fuel pickup inside the factory tank was rotted out and it would suck air and stall, usually in the middle of a busy intersection. The engine on the K car gave up all but it's last breath on a commute between the Twin Cities and Bemidji at about 2AM. limped the last 100 miles at about 35mph chugging like an old tractor. Bought the '84 F250 the next day off my buddys car lot in Bemidji so I could get back down to the cities where I was working at that time.
