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 must say my list is extensive, and no I have not owned a used car operation/dealership. I am close to 40yrs old now and just have the car bug........

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.

1964 Ford Galaxie
1976 Kawasaki 450
1970 Ford Mustang Mach1
1975 Toyota Celica GT
1980 Ford Bronco
1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager work wagon
1986 Buick Grand National (still in use)
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.....
