My turn, but not as long.
Learned to drive in a late 1960's Ford station wagon.
1973 Vega Kammback wagon
1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible (400 cid w/ Hurst 4 on the floor)
196x VW Bug Convertible
1978 Toyota Corrolla SR5 Liftback
1984 Dodge Caravan
1996 Dodge Neon
1980 BMW 308i
1990's Artero (Pontiac Fiero with a fiberglass Ferrari body)
2003 Dodge Dakota
2005 Saturn Ion
2009 MINI Cooper S Clubman
1976 MG Midget (bought at MG dealer in Denver CO)
1978 MG Midget (Since 1983)
Now I own the 78 Midget and the MINI. But I surely miss the Firebird and the
Dakota. The Firebird, done right, would be worth far more than the rest of the
list. I owned 2 for about 20 years between the Toyota (6) and the Caravan
(14).
(As for Wife's Cars, the 76 Midget was bought as hers, but that didn't last
;-) And the Neon is what she took when she left. Theresa started out with a
late model Ford Probe with a big V-6, then a Subaru Outback Sport, then a VW
Jetta, now a VW Golf, her and her first husbands list is longer, but why
dredge up memories, even tho some of the stories are hilarious).
Every car on this list is a manual except the VW Golf.
