Oh, no, no, no ....my challenge is not the number of cars. You've got a list of memorable cars there CJ. My challenge is "who can top my list of crappy automobiles?". Aside from my Boxster (of course), my wifes VW Beetle and my Karmann Ghia T34 I have some real gems there (in comparison). I mean who else here has had the pleasure of commanding the power of a 1987 Hyundai Excel? It boasted a screaming 90 hp and whenever I got out of the car I'd have to unhook the battery or the engine fan would continue to run and drain it. Can't tell you how many times that POS left me stranded.

But I don't want to hijack this thread Let's just say I REALLY REALLY appreciate my Boxster.

I think the '89 Jaguar I had could challenge your Hyundai Excel as far as leaving me stranded or otherwise driving me insane. That car had electrical problems and was possessed by the devil. I think I kept it a total of six months.

That sucks. I bet you were really excited when you first got the Jag. At least you were stranded in style

Oh, yeah, I thought I was getting an awesome car for a great bargain. I bought it like 5k below book value. It drove great and was beautiful. I had it checked by a mechanic before I bought it and he warned me there were electrical problems with the pre-1990 Jaguars. I didn't think electrical problems could be that big of a deal. Boy, was I wrong!

Was 37 when I bought my S, now 38.

Still look about 12 years old though. Well, maybe not 12, but I do look a lot younger. Must have been all that good air, growing up in Scotland that did it

While waiting at some lights the other day with the roof down, this young lad pulled up alongside me and said, "That's real nice your dad let's you ride his car"

I said, "It's real nice your dad let's me ride your mum" (read "mom" for US readers )

He wasn't too happy

Cheers, Gord.
