Sorry it's so long, I must of been reminiscing
Let's see, started driving in 1997. Just a few car's but each one had character, especially the '72
1980 Chevy Caprice Classic (comes w/ nothing edition)
Bought it for $100 and sold it for $110. Used it for year's as my everyday ride. Blew James Bond Smoke screen once in a while without any warning. (literally made the car disappear when the wind was right) Leaked gas in the crankcase, dipstick often read twice the normal "FULL" within a weak. Saved my money up while driving it and then got myself a;
1992 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. Wow!! It still is in my opinion, the best looking car Japan has ever designed period. (even Lamborghini thinks a part of it does) Waxed it every week, washed the under carriage once a month, Redline oil, never took it there or over there, etc. I loved that car, but it ruled my life. I worried about it two much. Then one day in the rain 6 year's later, crashed against the side rail of a bridge( I thought I was gonna fall off the bridge into the toxic water!) Tore the front end off, $19,000 in damage's. All that TLC for nothing. But it could of been worse, I was fine.
1972 VW Bug. He he, that car was pretty cool. I bought it as my second car so that I didn't have to use the Z to go to work, city etc. Rebuilt all the mechanical part's of the car, engine tranny suspension, brakes, etc. Old faithful, always started and ran forever. Lowered it and had EMPI wheel's on it, Cal look. Got more stare's and thumb's up than the Z . But no heat and A/C was not comfortable.
1988 Ford Mustang LX 5.0. "Flexi Flyer" wanted to go fast for little money. Almost got a bike but seen to many people get hurt on them. I still have this and will never get rid of it, love steering with the throttle Now that's it's no longer my everyday ride, it's play time with the mod's. Now I can put in bigger jet's for the N20 and build myself a bigger faster motor. Got have that torque fix.
2002 Acura TL-S. Had it for two week's, I'm back to the modern age. I love this car, I'm just trying not to worry about it like I did the Z. I just got to get used to front wheel drive, it's the only thing I'm not crazy about. But I'll love it when I'm in the snow for sure. Mustang and snow is not impossible but there's a better way to travel in the snow. Definitely not staying stock

I'm only 22 so the list is fairly short
87 Pontaic Firebird- Blew the engine (I was in high school, too much fun w/ it)
90 mercury cougar - i hated the car after the firebird, and i think its a piece of junk, but i lasted 5 years of college and it is still going, kind of, with 185,000. I don't believe Acura gave me $400 for it.
Finally a new car!!
02 TL-S SSM- I don't have it yet should be here soon.
