List the Cars and Bikes You've Owned Over the Years
 
Wondering how many of you are as (or more) prolific than me when it comes to our motor vehicle hobby/passion! I'll start, from first to last, and this doesn't count things that fly or float:

1974 Kawasaki H2 "Widowmaker"
1978 Chevrolet Corvette
1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT-1
1969 Pontiac Catalina
1977 Pontiac Grand Prix
1984 Mazda 626
1974 VW Super Beetle "Sun Bug"
1982 Yamaha Seca 750
1982 Kawasaki GPZ1100
1980 Honda CBX
1974 Jeep CJ-5

Some of these vehicles were owned at the same time as others, but it really makes me look back and wonder about my sanity over the years! :rolleyes:

alm001 01-22-2016 06:33 AM

everytime I'm behind the wheel of an air cooled 911 it reminded me too much of my 73 VW. From the smell to the road feel. Probably why I never bought one.

2011 Ford Taurus
2000 Boxster S
2014 Ford Fusion

The Infiniti, Taurus and Fusion were company cars. We still have the Taurus and of course the Boxster. The list seems incomplete: scary to get old, I'm not sure I can remember all our cars. I still regret selling the TR4 (I was the 2nd owner, the car was very original and unmolested, and always started and ran well. I am an idiot!)

2006 Triumph Daytona 675 (currently own)
2011 VW GTI
2007 Mini Cooper S (currently own)
2002 Boxster S (currently own)

Looking back the Carrera 4 was my favorite. Between the full suspension and the B&B exhaust it was the must visceral of all. The Boxster is a close second. If you think the Boxster exposes you try a motorcycle. The Daytona and its 125 hp under you can't be beat and is the must involving of all of the wheel I owned. I wish I had the space, money and time to have kept all of them.
