Hmm I might be off on some years. Never really bother to keep track
Let's see at 16
73 Impala my Grandmother sold to me to avoid having it go through her estate
Skidded it and slid into a bridge in the rain
73 impala bought another it ate transmissions. Probably something to do with the way I drove it. Sold it for scrap.
84? (I don't remember the year) Chevette first "new" car I owned
87 Chevy celebrity bought from hertz was a company car my old man leased from hertz
Traded it two years later for an 89 celebrity eurosport
By now a wife and 3 kids...Lumina minivan (I forget the year 92?), then a 99 venture minivan
Bought a 63 VW bug as a project car. Still own it, still not done.
Then in 04 bought an 82 280zx 2+2 for a work car. Drove it till 07.
Retired from the Navy in 05 and decided in 07 to buy myself a car since I hadn't bought one for me in a LONG time. That resulted in some test drives and in the end my 06 350z.
