1975 Toyota Celica. A hand-me-down gift from mom when I was 16.

1970 Mustang Mach I. I wish I still had this car. I could not afford it at 17, but what I could do with it now.

1959 Chevrolet Impalla. My first attempt at a restomod. I was too young, too poor, and did not have the resources needed.

1980 Buick Regal. A great little car.

1990 Chevrolet Beretta. I got this when I came back from overseas in the Corps. I put 200,000 miles on it before I traded it in on my Jeep. I should have bought t he Jeep and kept the Beretta.

1997 Jeep Wrangler. I have owned this Jeep since new, and have modified it beyond all reason. It is awesome.


1988 Porsche 944. I bought this car this year to keep miles off the Jeep. I knew I liked it, but did not know that I would fall for it as much as the Jeep.

1986 Nissan P/U - no comment...
1984 Pontiac 6000 LE Wagen - wood panelling and all, great for college
1985 VW Jetta - got it from Mom, hence the automatic transmission (yikes)

In Europe

1992 Saab 9000 CS - replaced the '88, what a POS
1992 BMW 318is Coupe - great suspension, asthmatic powerplant
1995 BMW 325is Coupe, M3 clone - great car, great suspension (still miss this one)
1986 911 Carrera Cabrio - guards red (still missing her)
1999 BMW 320i Touring - had to go, when the baby carriage wouldn't fit
1999 Landrover Discovery - high maintenance, too expensive
2001 VW Golf TDI - solid little car, one of the best I've ever had (got rear-ended)
1987 930 - gone after 3 months (scared the hell out of one young father - me!)
1986 911 Carrera Targa (still have it, still love it)
2005 BMW 320d Touring - too expensive
2001 ML 320 - family grocery gatherer (still have it, love/hate relationship)

1987 911 Carrera Targa (still have it, almost at perfection)
1991 964 Coupe - always something wrong with it (still have it)
