Every Car You've Ever Owned

I’m impressed with how high you jumped in your F40 pic.

 

That is awesome how you made that montage pic. I wish I knew how to do that.

 

Excluding the company cars, my list (in order of appearance, those still owned noted with *) - before I'm too old to remember:
1973 Citroen DSuper 5
1975 Citroen CX 2000
1977 Citroen CX 2000
1985 Citroen CX GTI Turbo
1990 Citroen XM V6
1983 Ferrari 400i GT (5 speed)

Great Collage!

 

Any "cars you have owned" list with "Ferrari" in the middle of it is a pretty good list

 

In order of appearance:

83 VW Rabbit diesel
95 Toyota Tercel
02 VW GTI 1.8T
00 VW GTI VR-6
07 Toyota Tacoma
86 Porsche 911 coupe
95 Ferrari 355 berlinetta
17 Toyota Tundra
07 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
11 BMW 128i
72 Lada 2101

As you can see I started as a European car guy in my youth, and then had an American V-8 period before family and kids started to dictate my car choices. It's REALLY fun to cap this list with my first Ferrari!

 

I'll play:

1979 Plymouth Sapporo - Horrible car - died on me once in rush hour traffic in Pittsburgh.
1985 Toyota Tercel - Great car drove it all over Manhattan and easy to park in any spot.
1989 VW Golf ( was my girlfriends car) - Drove the Nurburgring in the rain / sleet in this car... dont think she knows about it to this day.
1991 Acura Integra good car - kept trading in for more expensive Acuras...
1992 Acura Integra GS
1993 Acura Legend coupe
1986 Chevy Blazer - horrible car, only had it for winters in Erie PA... could not wait to get rid of it. had the engine rebuilt 2x.... terrible.
1992 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo - great car, but terrible in any heavy rain or lite snow... traded it in on my Ferrari..
1985 Ferrari 308 - worst buy ever. Fun car, when it worked, I bought lemon. spent way, way too much on the car.
1995 Toyota Camry - best car I ever owned. You could abuse this car, and it always ran, drove great. To this day I wish I would have kept it. Nothing special other that ultra reliable.
Lexus LS - first car once married - great car. My wife leased it ... should have bought it
Land Rover Discovery SII - terrible car - horrible reliability. Great fun off road, but we never went off road.
Lincoln LS very good car... only one issue with coil packs, but otherwise great riding car.
4 Company cars - all Fords free cars - what can you complain about.
1986 Ferrari 328 Excellent car - super reliable for a Ferrari. only stranded me once... with a cracked air hose. wish i could have kept it... but loved every mile in the car.
2008 Ferrari 599 - very good car so far. It's stranded me once with a cracked hydraulic line - but i think that was due to bad roads here in Atl... brutal on track... great on the road. love it.
2007 Porsche 911 Excellent car all round. can use as every day car, its fast on track, can accommodate 4 pp for short trips.
1999 Toyota Celica - fun underpowered car ... my wife drove it mostly.
2006 Ford Fusion - my wifes daily driver - our family car... my company car was a fusion so we got her one... very reliable, if not boring.
2017 Fiat Abarth 500 Tributo - A hoot to drive. I have a bigger turbo, and chiped, as well as larger intercooler... quick vs. fast, but in the mountains can hang with most Ferraris on tight roads.
1993 Rolls Royce Silver Spur - a beautiful living room on wheels. sadly horrible mechanical and electricals... it got flooded and put out of its mercy. But if you want to be seen around Atlanta - this was the car. more people had more animated reactions to this car than anything I've ever driven. almost nobody ever said anything bad... always Wow what a nice car etc.... especially women....

Growing up I had access to:
1960 Porsche 356 B Super Roadster - a real car guys car. fun to drive, an icon.
1970 Lotus Europa S2 - I actually miss this car, tight small, underpowered. would love on with a v6 and wider back end. could be fun on track.
1981 Lotus Esprit - fun to drive, horrible reliability- so much so that last time it broke down it went to the dealer and never came back. My dad hated the car in the end.
1979 Porsche 930 Turbo ( 911 Turbo ) this is what replaced the Esprit, but sadly it just sat and my dad sold it 24 months later ( thinking about buying a Dino ) he only drove it 3200 miles 700 of them by me around town. it could spook you if you were not paying attention.
Dodge Lancer ( Mom's everyday car ) she would get a new one every 24 months or so. good radio, and first car we had with a CD player in the car!

 

04 Pontiac GTO What did you think of this car?

 

I actually liked the car itself even though it was heavy and comparatively slow for an LS1 powered car that averaged around 13mpg in the city, but I only had it for a little over a year, and in that year I went through 3 radiators and every time it rained the driver floorboard carpet get soaked due tot he design on the rocker panels…and I don’t mean just a little wet, I’m talking 2 bath towels dripping soaked.

 

Thanks. It has been called the Redneck's Ferrari.

Wow what a line up

 

Mine is really short:
1980 Toyota Celica
1995 Nissan 240SX (still have) - it brings almost as much attention as the 328
1986 Ferrari 328 GTS (still have)

I can’t even imagine how much I have saved by keeping them instead of replacing them. Or missed out on some fun but I am certainly one with them after all these years. They are simple and fun to drive so I have no need to change. Given that I have kept them this long, my girlfriend knows I will keep her too!
