Ones I still have in green, ones that have "gone away" in red. . .


1977 Chevy Camaro (piece of crap, bought for $550, sold for $1,600 to the town drug dealer 'cause he liked it and thought it was "b1tchin'").

1978 Pontiac "Formula" (similarly GM rust-infested hunk of crap. Rejoiced when it finally died)

1983 Mustang GT 5.0 (pretty good car actually, until I crashed it on a rain-soaked road in FL - I was lucky to get out of that accident alive)

1986 Isuzu Impulse (pretty cool little car. I'd buy another one if I could find one. Sold to my brother, who promptly destroyed the transmission)

1986 Dodge Daytona (ditto, very reliable and solid. Sold this one to my brother too to replace the Isuzu that he killed. Dunno what ever became of it. . .)

1988 GMC Sierra 2500 pickup (a tank, useful for hauling stuff & camping, but ultimately proved to be another unreliable GM piece of crap with transmission issues too numerous to list. I rejoiced the day I sold it)

1985 Porsche 944 (still have it. Love it)

1986 Porsche 944 Turbo (Love/hate relationship. It eventually caught fire in spectacular fashion on my way to a Pelican meet-up).

1985.5 Porsche 944 (bought it for a song, fixed it up and resold for a profit)

2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK-320 (bought because I needed something more reliable than a fleet of clunker Porsches needing constant maintenance. It had a warranty and was fun. And it's a convertible. What's not to like? My daily driver. It's been great. I'm keeping it.)

1974 Porsche 911 Targa (still have, undergoing a lengthly exorcism of many stupid P.O. demons and will someday be restored to its former glory. Bought to fill the "hole in my soul" left by the 951 flambe incident)

1971 Porsche 914 (bought on the cheap with aspirations of making a track car, but no time and no money. . . Dunno what I'm gonna' do with it yet)

Currently also fixing up my 1999 Suzuki Katana 750 motorcycle (gas price & traffic eliminator).
