Vehicle History!!

RE: Vehicle History!!
Learned to drive on my mom's '69 Mercury Cyclone CJ. That's a 428 Cobra Jet my dad used to race inthe old days. Close Ratio toploader, Detroit Locker, no power bakes, no power steering, no A/C, no nothin' but speed...
My first car was a '69 Mach 1 351 2v 3 speed, always got tons of looks. After I trashed that car, I got a Datsun B210 until I saved for my '71 Boss 351, purchased in 1984. I also had to drive my dad's '70 LTD that was sitting in front of my house for like 3 years previous. I took the mustang battery and fired it up, filling the street with oil smoke. It needed a quart of oil a day, but had an awesome plastic flex fan on it that sounded like a blower when you tached it up, so that was fun.
Not as much fun after that:
'84 Mustang LX
'82 BMW 320i
'89 Bronco II
'96ish VW Jetta junk, clutch burned on Throgs Neck Bridge with 500 miles on it...
'98 Explorer
'02 PT Cruiser, don't ask...
'02 Explorer, still have, hate it
'00 Durango, still have, love it
And now life is fun again,
'07 GT Premium, Alloy, manual

RE: Vehicle History!!
wow, that's a long list of cars for a lot of ya. I've only had a few. I had my grandmas 91 buick regal. I loved that car. It was custom for the old lady, and when I had it there were only a couple thousand miles on it. Then I had a 2001 hyundai sonata. Then an 04 sonata. My grandpa turned me on to em because they were a decent family car. Now my baby, and a 04 kia sedona.

Learned to drive sitting on my Great Grandfather's lap in his '56 Bel Air in the pasture @ 4 years old. Since then:
'76 Ford Torino Elite (built like a tank, until it met a drunk in an LTD head on)
'74 Buick Electra 225 (Grandfather's car, pulled his camper trailer with it until he got a Suburban. 455 Buick)
'84 Mercury Grand Marquis
'82 Ford Econoline van
'71 Buick LaSabre
'92 Ford Ranger
'65 Mustang coupe (I'll finish it one day, still have it)
'93 F150 Flareside XLT extended cab (parked due to blown rings, another one to work on)
2000 Mustang V6
'07 Mustang GT
Not counting my wife's cars:
'89 Escort (she had it when we got together and was her 1st car)
'94 Ford Tempo (because the Escort cracked a piston)
'95 Mercury Mystique (because the Tempo was a PoS)
'05 Taurus (the Myst. ws getting old but ran great)
I also used to drive my parent's cars when I was young and lived at home. Put a shift kit in my Mother's '87 Crown Vic when I changed the tranny fluid. She liked it.
