Keep in mind I just turned 26 about 3 months ago.
1. 72 Super Beetle - never drove it but dad gave it to me when I was 10 and it's been parked in his garage since (still there).
2. 1980 Buick Regal Limited coupe 3.8 non-turbo (junior yr of high school) - electric choke was a pain in the *** It refused to start when it got under 55 degrees
3. 1983 Cadillac Sedan Deville 4.1 engine (senior yr of high school) - bought for $500 from a retiree. Only the power antenna worked perfectly each and every time in that car
4. 1992 Acura Vigor LS (graduation gift from family) (auto) - great in-line 5 and most fun to drive sedan I ever drove
5. 1991 Toyota Celica GT coupe (freshman yr of college) (5 speed) - nice in town runner. A/C system leaks a lot though
6. 1992 Nissan 240SX fastback (junior yr of college) (5 speed) - was a strong runner, awesome RWD setup, teenage girl ran stop sign and T boned it RIP
7. 1991 Toyota MR2 non-turbo (junior yr of college) - bought for $2200 with some body damage, was a money pit, I shoulda never bought this car
8. 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL (5 speed) (summer after college grad) - one female owner, in great shape, but took about 5 grand to restore to like new.
9. another 1991 Toyota MR2 non-turbo (2003 summer) - immaculate shape, excellent go cart style driving fun, you get what you pay for
10. 1973 standard VW Beetle (last week)- 32K miles and one owner with working DPD a/c _________________ 73 standard beetle
other cars
91 Toyota MR2
94 Mits 3000GT
98 Lexus SC300 |

WOW, some of you guys have had quite a few. All of the cars I've owned have been ACVW's, baby!
1)My first car & ACVW, '74 Standard Beetle, got from the OG owner about 12 years ago w/89k original miles. Just sold it 2 weeks ago.....
2)'77 Standard Bay-window bus, another OG owner purchase w/129k miles on it, was practically in mint condition sold it to buy VW #3.
3)'60 Panel, got it as a basket case, rebuilt the whole bus and used as a daily driver for 5 years or so, then I was forced to sell so we could buy our first house.
4)My current bus, my only car now & my daily driver, a '65 Sundial, 3rd owner, 158k miles. Love this bus more than the previous '60 bus for it's nicer/newer features, but still miss the 'ol 60.
Yeah, I know the '66 single cab in my sig, it's mine, but not. It's my Dads, but I got it for him/helped get it. I drive it more than dad, and I work on the darn thing, so I claim it as mine,hehehehe. |

Ok, an addition to my prior post with a correction. Add on a 1960 shorty walk thru, and the Scirocco was an 86. Just got the rock back so it will count twice? _________________ The memories of a man in his old age, are the deeds of a man in his prime.
