okay,i'm only 16,so the list is nothing compared to the others..here it is from first to now..
2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser (great car..sad story how i got it)
1990 GMC Sierra (lowered,18" wheels,had Cadi Escalade front end..all that crap)
1968 Mercury Cougar (great car,traded the '90 Sierra for it)
1999 Ford F-150 XL (AWESOME truck...totalled it.. *=(* )
1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee (currently driving,traded the '68 Cougar for it)..

thats all of the vehicles i've had that are road-worthy...now for the fixer-uppers i've had/still have...
1970 AMC Javelin (360,auto..traded it..didn't have the money to fix it up..sweet car though)..
1980 AMC Spririt AMX (258 I6,auto,still have...under the car port..wishing i had money to fix it up)..
1981 AMC Eagle SX/4...(151 GM..manual...really dunno what i'm gonna do with it yet)..
1979 Ford F-250 4x4 (351M,manual,my pride and joy,where all the money goes)
1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee (had bad auto shutdown relay when i bought it..previous owner couldn't figure it out..i bought it,fixed that...and now have came to the conclusion that it has a blown head gasket(s)..so i'm pretty much screwed..and have no idea what to do with it,as i don't want to replace head gasket(s)...it's the 318 V-8...
and i think thats it...
but anyways..as for the sad story on how i got the PT Cruiser...my step-dad was sick (he had cancer)...and he had just bought a 2002 (which was brand new then) F-250 4x4 7.3 Powerstroke 6 Speed...sheww..it was so sweet...and i was so stupid...he had bought the truck,and said that it was gonna be mine when i was old enough to drive (was then 15)...i told my mom that i didn't really want the truck,and that i wanted a PT Cruiser...so she told him,and he wanted me to be happy,so he sold the truck,and bought me a PT Cruiser...and now,every time i think about it,it makes me feel like kicking myself right in the ***...i was SO stupid...it is definately the biggest regret of my life...no kidding...if only i had that truck now...ah well..i guess we learn from our mistakes...thanks for listen to me ramble..

Lets see...
1978 Chevy Caprice - first car I ever owned. Off the road more than it was on. Still miss it.
1988 Chevy Caprice ex police car - had it for a while. Wish I still had it.
1979 Chevy Caprice - Had it a few months, never registered it.. parents made me get rid of it (it was ugly according to them)
1989 Chevy 2500 Pickup - Nice truck, plenty of creature comforts, but wimpy (it was an automatic and didn't have a live front axle)
1996 Chevy Caprice ex police car - Lots of fun. Fast. Expensive. Totaled by a lady who rear ended me while talking on her cell phone.
1970 Ford F250 4x4 - Still have it. It'll be the daily driver soon. LOVE IT.
1996 Chevy Caprice ex police car - Still lots of fun. Still Fast. Still Expensive. Sold it just before it needed a tuneup while it was running good, wish I still had it.
2002 Chevy Impala - It was leased. Not a bad car, no complaints. Comfortable.
1964 Cadillac Deville Convertible - Miss it. Fins baby. Looked great, but had too much rust on the underside. Sold it a year later. Wish I had a nicer one.
2004 Chevy Venture Minivan - Daily driver until my wife gets her license, then it's hers. We both hate the concept of a minivan but it's the best thing to scoop up her wheelchair with. When we picked it up, we made sure to blast Metallica as we rolled out of the parking lot. Turned alot of heads.

What will be next? I don't know.. I still like sedans. The truck really is a little unpractical to be a daily driver, but I'll never sell it!!! It stays around town mostly. I miss having a caprice (loved the boxy style), and I miss having an old Cadillac (1964 or before - needs fins!!) Maybe I'll go even older next time?

right now i only have 5 cars

guarding the compost heap is my '75 ford f150... someday there will be a garage and i'll get her going again

behind it is my '81 malibu... fixed the fuel lines, cab, pump but needing new brake lines if it's going to stop

in the driveway

my "new" truck... 1990 f150. waiting on a new fuel pressure regulator when i get $

borrowed car.. my friend's cutlass.. lent it to me now i get to babysit it while he tools around in his brand new van... this is actually a good car. 4 door, v6, comfortable ride and still very good fuel economy for a good car

my other "new" car... 1996 ford escort #2... it's called #2 because i used to have one just like it my sister drives now... only thing wrong with this one is the colour but other than that it was one of the best cars i've ever had... don't know why ford stoppid making them

cars i should never have sold.. my first car a 81 chevy camaro with crager mags and racing tires, v8 4barrel carb, no rust and clean interior. i bought it for 500$ and all i had to fix it was dad's old bottle jack and a tree stump i used as a jackstand. all it needed was gas and a little prestone now and then. but mom made me get rid of it. thought she was doing me a favour with the ford tempo which got great mileage... when it wasn't catching fire somewhere.. what a piece of **** that car was.

should have kept the sonoma too... was only 8 years old and i'd replaced just about everything on it when the transmission blew... but i got a cash deal not to leave it in my mom's driveway... there's a thread somewhere with that tragic story
