How many cars have you owned?

1987 Plymouth Voyager 2.6L Mitsu I4- First car. Got it in 2001 when I got my license. Drove it till the end of last winter. I broke it on a trip to see my buddy down at University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. Apparentally that little Mitsu I4 didn't like going 80 mph for 2 hours straight and decided to jump a tooth on the timing chain, blow a gasket on the carb, throw the timin tensioner out, and start spewing oil out the intake manifold gasket. It only had 79,000 miles on it when it did this:mad: . It's gone now

1988 Ford Thunderbird LX 5.0 V8-First car I bought with my own money. I bought it from my cousin in California in 2002 with 109,000 on it. I still have it and it just comes out in the summer for fun. It's not my daily driver.

1993 Buick Century 3.3 V6-Replacemet for the Voyager. Has 127,000 on it and runs great. It's just boring as hell to drive and looks like a silver brick. Atleast the cops don't pay attention to it because they think an old man is driving it :D .
