Its actually called a Hi-Po, not Hi-Per.

It's funny you say that you hate getting rid of cars. I still own fifteen of the cars on my list. My wife and I were just talking about reducing the fleet a bit, but I have a sentimental attachment to every one of the cars I own. As we went through the cars a few weeks ago, I kept saying "Oh, no honey, I'll never get rid of that one because..."

The one thing that may push me to sell some of them is that I'm out of garage space to store any more and there are still others on my wish list that I haven't owned yet.

I think I've these in following order (can't remember what year)
-Mitsubishi Galant (80's)

-Honda Civic (80's)

-Mercury Sable Station wagon (early 90's and kids love the rear seat where they could make funny faces facing the driver)

-Ford Taurus SHO (early 90's, I though It was the best looking car I've owned @ that time)

-Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (early 90's, white and has gold trimmings :o and my first SUV)
*during my outdoor/camping activities, I got this 3 trucks)
-Ford Bronco (late 80's, in Black and silver to reperesent Raider Nation and my first toy)

-Chevy Suburban (early 90's and of course in forest green color)

-Dodge Ram 1500 (late 90's, Black and Silver to match my Bronco when pulling it)
*after loosing my job and start saving, I got rid of the trucks and bought*

-93 Mercury Villager (after 198,000 miles it finally gave up 2 years ago)
-88 Ford Bronco II (donated by one of our church members and we still have it)

Now,
99 Boxster
03 C230 M/B Coupe
