A list for car nuts !!!!
 

I got my first car at 15 and I can assure you that I am a car nut. I even like the ugly ones. I thought it would be fun to list all the cars I have owned and to allow you to do the same.

I got my first car 10 years ago.

always loved the look of the 951........didn't think I was gonna like the 07 silverado's, but a buddy of mine got a black 4dr and I must admit very very nice.....

Sweet jeebsus. That's a long, if slightly unimpressive :p list. Mine's almost embarrassingly shorter:

1987 930

Hey noah, was your 280 the 2dr coupe model? Man I thought those looked awesome for an old Benz.... I think the one I am thinking of is the 280se but I am not sure.... Used to see one all the time when I was in boot camp, I think it was like a 71 or 73 model very nice......

No. Sorry to disappoint, but it was the very plebian 4-door sedan. No "S" class. No coupe. No convertible. No fuel injection. 120 bhp to motivate about 3500 lbs of fairly solid car. My parents purchased the car new 15 years before I got it; I drove it my senior year in high school. I wish it was a 280SL. That was an affordable classic 15 years ago, and still today.

That's an interesting list. It nicely tracks the beginning of your affliction and also shows how you gradually came to your senses.

Funny thing. I consider myself a car guy too. The only car I didn't buy was the Celica my wife owned when we got married. There's almost 70 years of combined driving on that short list. We got our monies worth out of each one.

2001 Ford Ranger XLT work truck (still in use)
1981 Porsche 911 ROW
1999 BMW 328i (still in use)

I thought it would be fun to start this post, but it is really interesting to see how each of our purchasing habits (types of cars) seem to be somewhat similar.....

My goodness, some of you guys change cars more than you change underwear...;)

Comparatively, mine is a short list, and I've been driving 23 years now. These do not include my wife's cars.

2000 VW GTI 1.8T
1999 Audi A4 Avant
1992 Mazda Miata (Marine Blue)
1992 Mazda Miata (Black and Tan)
1984 Porsche Carrera

I've only been driving for 10 years, but here's my list, from first-owned to current (not counting my parents' cars when I lived at home):

1987 Jeep Cherokee (loved it)
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee (didn't love it)
1986 Ford Crown Victoria police package (hated it)

1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass (GOD I hated it)
1986 Porsche 951 (adore it) current

It wil be interesting to think about this.

ha! Well, as the Chinese say, "may you live in interesting times." And evidently I do.

Haven't taken vacation yet. Racing at Laguna Seca Aug 24-26 (bay area pelicans should come down and hang). "Vacation" is the following week. I'm trying to keep costs down and am torn between just doing absolutely nothing for a week, or trying to write. I have a book project that needs a serious kick in the arse. I also have two series treatments that I have to finish (well, start one, finish the other). Oh, and redesign my website for the possibility of new side/consulting projects (hoping the Koreans will give us a couple hundred $K). Major push on one work project and in production then post on another. Sept/Oct will be ugly busy. Then I need to take a *real* vacation, unless the side projects come through in which case I'll be in ramp-up mode until the end of the year.

Oh well, time to rest when I die...

Wait, I thought I was taking a vacation. Crap.

Sounds like you need one man... I mean Geez......that's alot of irons in the fire..... Well what ever you decide go with it and have fun!!!!! Or as a book that I once read be in Flow......
