Just curious about the members car history;

How many, and how many new..
Me about a dozen, first new vehicle was a `73 Jeep CJ 5 that I paid $3,500 for, followed by another five, three Jetta TDI`s and two p/u trucks.

LOL.... my third car was a brand new `73 Jeep CJ5... paint about $3500 for it!!! It was orange. I beat the crap out of that thing. Two years later I sold it for $4200!!!:clap: It`s the only time I`ve ever made money on a car!

I`ve had about 30 cars in my life (too many to list). Only 6 of them were brand new. Smart decision, I think. A smarter decision would have been if none of them were new!:devil:

`85 Camaro Z-28 - the first car that i actually loved Boo Hoo

Here`s the interesting part of my car history...

75% have been black. (Will I never learn?:scared:)

When I bought the white Trans Am, a whole new joy of car ownership opened up for me!:hurray::hurray::hurray:

1968 Corvette Vert
1987 Firebird Formula
1986 GMC regular cab short bed pickup
1989 Mustang GT
1989 Dodge Shadow (worst car I`ve owned)
1994 Honda Civic EX
1998 Ford Explorer
1996 LT4 Corvette Coupe
1998 Corvette (coupe)
2000 Chevy SWB Z71 4x4
2003 Chevy S-10

2005 Corvette (coupe)

Next: 2000 Jeep Cherokee

I feel like I`ve been through a few more, but they were cars we bought for my wife. She doesn`t care much what she drives from A-B so sometimes we get "her" cars that I like. Some of those have been:

1997 Ford F150
2003 BMW 325i
2002 Chevy Trailblazer
2006 Chevy Trailblazer SS (her current car)
