List all the cars you've had

Reply #15 – June 24, 2011, 09:09:33 PM

1. 1987 Plymouth Voyager (2.6 I4 3 speed auto). Blew the engine at 88,000 miles because I drove it at 80 on the highway for two hours:hick:.
2. 1988 Ford Thunderbird LX (5.0 AOD still own). The first car I bought. The Plymouth was given to me at 16 by my parents.
3. 1993 Buick Century (3.3 V6 AOD). This car handled like but that Buick 3.3 V6 had some balls. It died when the tranny took a dump at 165,000.
4. 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX (3.8 AOD). Traded it in at 90,000 miles. Original head gaskets were intact. The thing needed motor mounts and a water pump. It was starting to rot out so I didn't want to put the money into it.
5. 2011 Ford Focus (2.0 DOHC I4 Auto). The 95 T-birds replacement as a DD.

1981 Jeep CJ7 (what I learned to drive in in 1993...got my license in it, wrecked in '95..)
1974 Jeep J-10
1987 Escort GT
1986 Dodge Aries
1986 LX Mustang
1988 Thunderbird LX (3.8, maroon)
1992 F-150
1988 Chevy K1500
1994 Chevy Caprice Classic
1988 Thunderbird base (3.8, white)
1988 TurboCoupe (parts only)
1988 Tbird Sport (current project/money pit)
2002 S-10 (wife's truck/parts and grocery fetcher)

There's a coupla other cars we've had/used for awhile that weren't ours, but I'll mention:
1996 Toyota Camry
1987 Dodge Dynasty (RIP, wife killed it and a deer, simultaneously)
1989 F-150 (dad's truck, drove it while mine had cow damage)

The bold ones are still around, in the case of the Camry, it's still used, we just borrowed it for a few months, or we use it for long trips, etc

Reliabilty-wise, the Camry, the '92 F150, and the '89 F150 have all been the most reliable, the Camry tossed a timing belt one night, the fuel pump went out of the '92 once in 2004, and the '89 truck had a catastrophic water pump failure in 2001, only times those have ever failed to get me/us back home again.

The '86 Dodge aries was the most unreliable piece of shiznit I have ever looked at it. I literally couldn't drive it any farther than 10-12 miles from home, simply because it would break before it got any further.

The first time I drove it, the brakes were dragging, got so hot that I didn't even have braking ability...what a nightmare. Do not miss that shager.

The funnest is obviously the Sport with the HO and the T5 swapped.

I guess I have been more about how long I could keep them going rather than how many I could get. In other words I'm a cheapskate.

Considering I'm almost 50, this list is pathetic

69 Roadrunner. Wish I still had this one.
74 Mustang II - fugliest car ever, but add air shocks and 4-spoke Cragar SS wheels...nope, still ugly.
79 Ford F100 stepside - bought new while a senior in high school. Another I wish I'd have kept.
74 Datsun 260Z - blast to drive. Even my dad liked driving the snot out of this one.
81 Mustang - wife brought this on into the marriage
86 Tempo - can you tell the kids 'arrived'?
87 Taurus
91 Taurus
98 Caravan
03 Mazda MPV
87 T-bird 3.8 - Gift from mom in 2009 with 59,000 miles. Finally, a toy!!!
04 Trailblazer - son now driving this one
05 Intrepid - possibly the worst car ever. Failed waterpump took out the motor.
08 Chev Aveo - at least my daughter thinks it's cute. Which is good since we've 'donated' it to her.

Great, now I realize just how pathetic my automotive life has been.

well, thank god its me, and not my buddy, im only at 4, he's at 28 in 4 years, and he's losing track of what he had.

-1993 Mercury Sable LS. First car, blast to drive, 3.8L sunroof, floor shift auto, put 2 10 inch home audio subwoofers in the trunk...cus i could. 2 engines and a transmission later, junkyard
-1989 Pontiac Bonneville SSE. my first gm, beautiful condition, steal of a price, floor shift, buick 3800, cherry red car, loved it. got t-boned by a Toyota the night after i got it into a car show. bent frame. RIP.
-1989 Pontiac Bonneville SSE. Second gm, figured the first one saved my life, why not? Still have it, same stats, buick 3800, floor shift. this one's a rare gold color. "Light beachwood Metallic" they call it.
-1983 Mercury Cougar LS . The reason im here. got a 302 and an AOD, looks like a head gasket oil leak. and ive blown a heater sensor 3 times, seriously considering a new engine, possibly a 4XXsomething.

i figured out the gold SSE was built before the Red one, which means im systematically going backwards with my cars age. not really what my parents are happy about.

1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7 (My first. Drove from when I was 15 to 19 years old. Never could figure out if it was a boy or a girl, so I could never named it.)
1987 Mercury Cougar 20th Anniversary Edition ("Inherited" from my parents after the death of the '67. Still with me. Her name is Roxanne. From the Police song...because she has red lights & loose parts.)
1997 Mercury Cougar 30th Anniversary Edition (My first new car purchase of my own. Also still have. Her name is Xena Warrior Princess...I was really into that show in '97. "Xena, let me moisturize you leather...")
2011 Mercury Grand Marquis LS (I rescued it from being purchased from some little old lady with blue har last October. The Millinium Falcon. I know - not too original, but it came to me after I added this really cool accessory trunk organizer with hidden storage compartments in the trunk. Stuck a red Rebel Alliance decal on the rear window, and I taught the Garmin GPS I keep in the car to grunt and growl like Chewbaca.)

I know - I'm a little wierd.
