right out of high school was a 1989 ford taurus. WHAT A FREAKIN LEMON. Every week a few hundred went into it. It was my first car with 80k mi on it. Car looked sharp. Sold the car for $1400. Grandpa gave me the 95 corde with 14,444 miles in 2000. It now has 40,080 mi. Shines still like a mirror. no rust no dents. I wont part with it.

My memory's not as good on the spot but, I'll play!

1st car was a '69 Camaro. I worked my A** off the summer of '74 to earn the cash for it. Since then, I have been unable to regain the excitement except once when I had a fast girl and a '78 Trans Am.

65 Beetle
72 Vega
75 Lesabre
Another 69 Camaro (RS with those vacuum headlights)
70 Chevelle
73 Pinto
74 Gran Torino
76 Gran Torino Station Wagon
78 GMC Vandura Van
81 GMC 4x4
84 Escort Hatch
89 Ranger Pickup
89 Caravan
90 Caravan
91 Grand Caravan
95 Caravan
98 Grand Caravan
01 Intrepid
03 Caravan (Still Here)
03 Intrepid (Silver)
99 Concorde
99 LHS (Still Here)
99 LHS (Resurrected and Sold)
04 300m (Soon to try the LX engine swap)
01 Intrepid (Daily Driver)(Dark Garnet Red)
02 300m (Almost Sold)
02 300m (Just bought last week)

This has got to be the most enduring thread ever! Six years and counting...

And the end of my list in my first post back in 2006 is still the end of my list! How 'bout that! :D
