I have had so many cars that it isn't even funny. Wink

The VWs started with a 1963 Karmann Ghia convertible, went on to include a 1958 Kombi, a 1964 Bug, a 1965 Standard Microbus, a 1964 Canadian Notchback, a 1979 Rabbit (Westmoreland, PA-built, not German), a 1966 Fastback, a 1973 411 sedan, a 1963 Double Cab (I really wanted a Single Cab, but I needed a VW truck I could haul the kids and the dog around in without putting them in the bed) and several kit cars, including a Bradley GT, a Kelmark, a Bugatti T35 replica and a Fraser Nash replica. I have also had a Super Beetle, a 1971 standard Bug and a couple of Bay-Window Busses, but all of those are long gone, at least from my ownership. Some may no longer exist as cars anymore due to possibly being wrecked or junked.

Now I'm down to a 1984 Quantum station wagon, a 1994 EuroVan, a 1977 Scirocco and a 1967 Squareback on the VW side of things, (edit): I recently bought back the Fraser Nash replica and Bradley GT. They are absolute wrecks, but I have plans for them.

And for the non-VWs that I still own:

I have a 1958 Simca Aronde pickup (edit, now barely running and drivable), a 1954 Simca Sport 9 (edit: engine now rebuilt and rust repair done), both picked up as a package deal from someone who was going to scrap them, a 1966 Saab 95 station wagon that I bought from someone who was going to part it out, a 1976 Ford Capri II "Le Cat Black" special edition that someone paid me $50 to get out of their backyard, a 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille 30th Anniversary Edition that was a St. Vincent's car lot rescue, a barn-find 1973 Saab Sonett III, a 1955 Rover P4 bought at an estate auction, a 1972 GMC 3/4-ton pickup that is a daily driver, a 1978 Dodge Magnum that was the first and only new car I've bought, a 1969 Lotus Elan+2 that was going to be junked, a 1976 Lancia Beta coupe that was my brother's until his driver's license was revoked, a 1983 Audi Coupe GT that was another St. Vincent's find and was a daily driver for a while, a 1953 Hillman Minx two-door hardtop that I traded a VW Rabbit for, a 1959 Willys FC170 that I use primarily for hauling trash and gardening waste, and a 1958 Lloyd Alexander TS that I bought with the intent of restoring, found out that all replacement parts are made of the finest grade of unobtainium in the universe, and parked in the south 40 afterward. None of these are for sale, btw.

And for the non-VWs I don't have anymore, here are a few of the more interesting ones: a 1939 Packard hearse with Henney coachwork, another Simca Sport 9, this one was a 1955, a 1958 Borgward Isabella coupe, a 1955 Renault 4CV, a Renault Caravelle that I can't recall the year of, a 1948 Chevy pickup, a 1973 Chevy Vega panel van, a 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170V, a 1964 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, a 1956 Plymouth Belvedere, a 1958 Edsel four-door hardtop, a 1973 Austin Marina GT, a 1975 AMC Gremlin X Levi's Edition, and a 1944 Willys military Jeep. There were others, but they weren't all that interesting.

And to add to all this, I predate official Volkswagen sales in the US by several years, have been working on engines and machinery from the age of 6, and have always worked in the automotive business: detailing, selling used cars, mechanic, junkyards, parts houses, fleet management, and parting cars out.

I'll play. Been licensed since mid-1998, so...this summer I'll have been driving 12 years. However, I didn't own my first daily driver until I was 18, so two years passed me by, lol.

Here they are (bikes included since I have an M1 license) from first to most current:

1.) 1955 Chevrolet 3200 (2nd series)
2.) 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia
3.) 1984 Porsche 944
4.) 1990 Ford Escort LX
5.) 1987 Mazda RX-7 GXL
6.) 2003 Mazda Protege 5
7.) 1988 Mazda RX-7 GXL
8.) 1985 Volkswagen Scirocco 8v (dirt track race car)
9.) 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco 8v (parts car)
10.) 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco 16v
11.) 1984 Volkswagen GTI (dirt track race car #2)
12.) 1987 Yamaha FZ700
13.) 1990 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
14.) 1987 Ford Mustang GT
15.) 1961 International Harvester Scout 80
16.) 1991 Honda CB750 Nighthawk
17.) 1969 Volkswagen TypeI

All vehicles above were/are equipped with standard transmissions, EXCEPT the Mitsubishi Cordia. I hate automatics!

not absurd that ive had but someone asked how many vehicles i have at the moment the other day and i told them.. 6. never really thought about it. and its just me and my three kids.(none of driving age for a few years)

73 buggy. needs gas tank and engine back in.
68 bradley. project.
63 ragtop. needs engine back in.
86 suburban. daily.
01 cabrio. new
08 harley.

and then of course the work van in my driveway that i drive when i am on call.

wow.. never really thought about it. way too much. so looking at just one play car and one daily and get rid of the rest. time to focus and make some changes.

Driving since '95. 17 years,jeez

in order

Garelli Moped (greatest days of my life, like teenage Hell's Angels)
73 beetle -- never really got it registered
65 beetle -- First car
88 Jeep Cherokee - 5 speed-
82 Honda Civic
98 Kia Sephia -- totaled in one month
98 Kia Sephia -- just like a toaster, just get another one
00 Nissan Xterra
unknown Dune buggy
02 Ford f-150 Super Crew
03 Tube chassis Dune buggy
05 Ford Ranger (gas prices)
53 Ford F-100
65 Ghia
73 Thing
56 Beetle
11 Ford F-150 Supercrew (screw gas prices)

One of my all time favorite vehicles was a 85 Chevy K5 blazer, with no top. I didn't actually own this truck it was assigned to me in the military. It was destine for auction, but the last year I drove it was a blast. I got it stuck about once a week on the back of base and always could get it out. Just a strong beast.
