Some of you might have ridiculously long lists. Mine is manageable, but there are a few that I'm starting to forget.

I don't have pictures left of most of my vehicles, but the list:

1990 Ford Taurus. Maroon, SHO. Had a stereo system that cost more than the car.

1983 Chevrolet Silverado half ton, black, single cab, long bed 2wd. Truck would get stuck on a cow turd.

1987 Chevrolet half ton single cab, short bed 4x4. Black. Should have held to that longer, but someone wanted it more than I did at the time.

1991 Dodge Stealth RT turbo. White. I wish I still had it. Loved that car.

1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. Disappointment.

1999 Chevrolet Tahoe 2 door 4x4. Got this truck from a park ranger. Great setup for camping. My first "overland" rig.

1999 4Runner SR5. Silver. Built it. Great truck, but the family outgrew The real estate.

2014 Dodge 2500 4x4. White. My current rig and first new vehicle I've ever owned.
 
Cool! Don't let lack of pictures dissuade you guys. Keep 'em comin'!

It's interesting to read your thoughts on different vehicles.
 
I don't have many photos, but I have had WAY too many cars in my short life. In order of acquisition:

1982 Volvo 240 - Hand-me-down from Mom, with the awesome Laycock de Normanville 4spd+overdrive. Wished I'd appreciated this car more when I had it.

1993 Saturn SC2 - The plastic bodywork was awesome, but head/valve issues at <50k miles was a bummer

1991 Jeep Cherokee XJ - Loved this truck but the electronic gremlins killed me.

1991 Chevrolet Camaro RS - My only V8? Really?

1998 Subaru 2.5RS - 1st model sold in San Diego county
1998-Red-RS.jpg


2002 Subaru WRX Wagon - 1st model sold in San Diego county - Technically my 1st adventure rig!

1994 Mazda Miata - Laguna Blue and Tan, gorgeous color combo. Miss the car club folks more than anything!

2002 BMW Z3 3.0 Coupe' -
Some people call them ugly, but arguably the best car I've ever owned, and I miss it terribly

2003 Chevrolet Astro - My current adventure rig
IMG00129-1.jpg


1995 GMC Safari -
Bought as a parts van with 330k km on it
3mc3p43l35O65T45W3a6b0ae86b9d39e617e5.jpg


2011 BMW 328i Wagon
- Not as pretty as my Z3 coupe and slightly underpowered, (and arguably easier to keep pointed in the right direction,) but it's one of the last of the 6-cylnder wagons for the US market, so I had to have it.

Honorable Mention:
1992 Euro Swift - Not a street car, obviously, but technically my first "Ford"

1981 Mazda 626
1985 Mazda RX7
1989 Mercedes 300E
1992 Mazda Miata
1994 Toyota Landcruiser - still have and drive!
1999 Porsche Carrera 996 - biggest POS I've ever owned and will NEVER own another Porsche based on that experience.
2007 Mazda Miata
2005 Scion Xa - technically my daughter's car, but I drove it for a few years when her license was suspended after her second seizure.
2013 Toyota Prius - current daily driver.
 
Hmm, I've never owned any cars.

My first "cars" were motorcycles, several Harley's, I started on them before I had a drivers license. I moved on the 47 to Az from the midwest. Was given a 2wd pickup, an old farm truck. It was my first 4 wheeled vehicle. It was followed by a number of 4wd pickups, from a Willys PU, 60Chev, to Ford F-250's, a Nissan, a Toyota and a couple Suburbans. I tend to own older vehicles and drive them til they arent worth fixing any more.

Was interesting deer hunting on the motorcycle.

Hey Al:

You sure your Mustang II was a '72? The "Mustang II" didn't come out until 1974 to my knowledge.

Wow, you guys go through a lot of cars. I can count all of mine on one hand, and I got my driver's license in 1978.
1970 Toyota Corona MkII
1969 VW Beetle
1990 Toyota 4x4 Pickup v6 long bed
1991 Honda crx si
2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Motorcycles:
1984 Honda VF-500F Interceptor
1997 Suzuki GSX-R600
2006 Suzuki DRZ-400

I used to club race the GSXR, but I really sucked at it. I was much better at Solo II (autocross) and won a local championship in the crx.
I set up the VW beetle as a class 11 desert racer (stock VW sedan) and really enjoyed blowing past 4x4s on the washboard roads on my way fishing. I received a lot of funny looks from Jeepers on the easier 4x4 trails too.

Let's see here...What has been in my driveway over the years?

Started off with a 71 Dodge Dart...learned alot on how to and not to work on a car.

84 Buick Skyhawk...college ride

87 Stage 1 Buick T-Type...bad ass Mustang killing machine.

76 GMC 4x4 Pick-em-up...rebuilt from the frame up with hopped up trans and a 383 stroker motor

87 Jeep Comanche 4x4... great truck and my first Adventure vehicle...

comanche01.jpg


'94 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4...Tuning the motor was a bad idea...:rolleyes:

'98 Jeep Grand Cherokee...Lets just leave this one stock, OK.

'98 Dodge Ram 4x4 QuadCab...the lack of rear access doors on these years models were a pain in the arse, not to mention the crappy trans, front hub units and brakes.

'01 Dodge Ram Offroadster...great truck until it totally succumbed to the dreaded "Dodge Rot".

2808812877_bef71fc9fe.jpg


'98 Jeep TJ...fun little ride.

100_1861.JPG


'04 Jeep Unlimited LJ..."The Grey Mouser"; way to much fun and to much work not to mention abysmal gas mileage.

100_2806-1.jpg


CURRENT RIDES...

'68 Buick LeSabre...the "HeavyWeight 68", totally stock, grandma's car...really ;)...driven only on Sundays to church, has never been revved over 2500 rpms...now languishing in the garage. Wanna buy an old Buick?

064.jpg


'04 Toyota 4Runner...V8 baby; there's no replacement for displacement. Currently on loan to the girl.

100_3162.jpg


'06 Toyota Tundra DC..."Fafhrd"; bestest truck I ever had.

DSC00045.jpg


'07 Toyota FJCruiser...Not quite what we wanted but we have come to love this little quirky oddball ride.

DSC01635.jpg


'03 Nissan Pathfinder...uninspired car but it works as a spare vehicle and a ride for Cam. But its rust free and drives like new so there's something. Oh it was cheap too.
