Car Makes You Have Owned in Your Life

[Runner 68]

Trivial point but I was thinking about this the other day. I thought it might be interesting to see the list from a gang of car guys. When thinking about mine I had forgotten several so think deep.
I'm going to keep my list to make only because I hate talking with my fingers. Leases count. (for Mario) Dealers and flips don't count. Only those cars you have actually owned/maintained/driven count.

Here's mine in alphabetical order:

• Audi-1
• Chevy-3
• Dodge-6
• Honda-1
• Nissan-1
  
• Plymouth-1
  
• Pontiac-1
• SAAB-1
• Toyota-2
  
• Volvo-3

19 cars in 55 years, roughly 3 cars a year since I was born.

Since everyone else is adding bikes:

• Yamaha-5
• Honda-3
• Suzuki-2
• BMW-1
• KTM-1

Makes I will never own in my life no matter how good the deal.

• Most Fords
• Kia
• Hyundai
• Jeep
• Subaru

Can't wait to see the responses.

Hi, I'm Budnicks & I'm a caraholic, "step one"

Yea and you're as long winded as ever. Total them up. Let's see a number. Company cars don't count because you didn't own them.

Jealous ?
I had to pay for all them, I certainly count them all
if you want the number count them ...

Too hard with all your rambling about make and model. Can't you count that high?
I can only imagine what your yard looks like. You're one of those guys with an engine block for a front step.

 

[mmissile]

3-AMC
1-Audi
1-Buick
1-Ford
1-Honda
100's of mopars

20-30 bikes, currently have 6.

Nope you're completely wrong, "Like normal"...
YOU Just can't help being an ------, well you know what you are ...
I've never/ever stored anything outside, let alone in the front yard
other than running driving cars & only 2 in the driveway, even then...
That was extremely rare...

I'm not some low life "Coloradan "
everything I own now & before is in a carport or on a shelf,
storage shed or in my garage...
Or was in my old warehouse...
Until I moved here & downsized, it always was & still is clean...

 

[tnfastback]

Damn......You guys should get married.

Oh Yeah I forgot a couple of Cj-5 Jeeps &
an S-10 PU too,

Jeez Bud. There are used car lots in my town that haven't bought and sold that many cars.

I know it's an addiction...
I even added to that
It helped to fund my racecars, only reason really why I did it...
Other than I love cars in general...
I'd buy a car or 2, fix it/tune it up, put nice rims & tired etc.,
drive it for a while..
Than usually sell it, for maybe twice the money, start all over again...

I'm almost cured, it only took 57 years...

The DMV threatened me of having to get a dealers license,
I never did...
I worked/contracted out for {125} dealership group
there was always something cool to buy & sale...

Must have hit a nerve.
Sorry Bud, I misspoke. You are definitely a twin big block front porch type of guy.
How about them Las Vegas Raiders?

I love them Raiders even if & when they move to LV after 2018,
I still loved them in LA...
I don't care if they moved to Denver ,
I'd still be loyal, I'd still route for them, over any other team...
