OK, I guess I'll join this bandwagon:
ACVWs:
1963 bug- ruby red -gone but not forgotten
1966 bug - gulf blue - gone but not forgotten
1966 bug - perl white - alive & well & in my garage
1960 bug - jade green - alive & well & in my garage

Others (gone):
1972 Olds Cutlass - great car but rusty
1981 Honda Accord - rustbucket, otherwise a one of the best
1974 Audi Fox - I liked this car in spite of its Vega-like insatiable thirst for oil (quart every 50 miles)

Others (still have):
1989 Isuzu trooper - also one of the best
1988 Subaru 4WD wagon - also one of the best
1941 Chev 1-1/2 ton truck - project sitting around for 10 years
1963 International Loadstar - bulletproof iron
1965 International Loadstar - too many Loadstars now
1960 Studebaker Lark
1953 Studebaker Champion
1950 Studebaker 1/2 ton pickup
1949 Packard Eight - enough metal here to build to 3 VWs
1974 Land Rover
1985 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup
