I had a Saturn Ion Redline, came with a factory supercharger that they were also using in Saab (turbo form) vehicles. Talk about a sleeper little car. I remember a couple of dopes in a Firebird bottlenecking traffic on purpose. They'd speed up as anyone was trying to pass them and stay even with the car next to them. I watched them perform the same maneuver to about 3-4 cars, and lulled them into a false sense of security. As soon as I saw an opening, already had it in the right gear (manual transmission) and I was out like a raped ape. They tried to recover, but their manual transmission took an eternity to downshift. Never been more proud of a small car with plastic doors.

This list is by no means exhaustive list as I've flipped lots of cars (probably 20+) during the last 10+ years and I've actually owned some of them for some time. I've not included any of them in here. And most of the past 10+ years I've had multiple cars at the same time. Up until two weeks ago I still owned the ones marked with X, but then sold the Silverado, so now I'm on the hunt for the next truck. Need to have a truck.

It's great where people are commenting about the vehicle on the side. Every car has a story doesn't it? It's a marker of that period of your life. There's definitely a story on damn near every one of my vehicles. But if I annotated the list it would soon become TLDR. lol.

This list is by no means exhaustive list as I've flipped lots of cars (probably 20+) during the last 10+ years and I've actually owned some of them for some time. I've not included any of them in here.

Wow that took some thought to remember....

 

I bought a lot of used junk starting when I turned 15. Seems like I always needed a car when I was the most broke. First Brand New car was in 1994.

1. 1976 Chevy Luv Pick-up - Bought Used and abused in 1984 for $75 - Drove it until it died, transmission, 1986 over 200,000 miles
2. 1964 Buick Special Wagon - Bought Used and abused in 1986 for $150 - Drove it until both engine mounts broke, replacements were not available. Chained engine down and continued to drive. Entered in demolition derby in 1988 - Destroyed, won second place. Unknow mileage, speedometer never worked.
3. 1977 Buick Regal - Bought used in great condition 1988 - Drove around for many years, crushed by a dump truck after an ice storm in 1991 Around 140,000 miles on it
4. 1987 Chrysler LeBaron - Bought used in great condition in 1991. Drove it until it it was totaled by a tree fall during a storm in 1994. Can't remember the mileage on it.
5. 1984 Subaru Hatchback - Bought Used and abused in 1994 for $400. Got rear ended in 1998 by a brand new Lincoln Navigator with less than 500 miles on it. Totaled my car and the car in front of me that it knocked me into.
6. 1994 Chevy Cavalier Z24 Bough Used in 1998 - Worst car I ever owned, had all kinds of electrical issues. Car was driven cross country by original owner multiple times a year in the 4 years he owned it. Always had dogs in it. Car was trashed inside. Sold it a year later, could not del with constant electrical issues. Teenager bought it from me and totaled it a few weeks later.
7. 1994 Plymouth Voyager - Bought New - First new car purchase - Family Car - Traded it in 2002 well over 250,000 miles on it.
8. 2000 Kia Rio - Bought New - Traded in for new Rio in 2006. Liked the car had A/C issues so I got out of it before the A/C died completely
9. 2002 Kia Sedona - Bought New - Family car replaced the Plymouth Voyager. Eventually became my daughters first car.
10. 2006 Kia Rio - Bought New - Replaced my daily car the 2000 Rio
11. 2011 Nissan Versa - Bought New - Still own
12. 2018 Hyundai Sata Fe Sport - Bought New - Still own

Foreigner. 😅

I really like these Euro-spec cars, though. E46 BMW 3-series was a great drive, especially. I've never owned one, but I drove one a lot: manual 323i.

 

cars I still have..
1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

Does it have the 429 or 472?. Cadillac switched engines mid year that model year. Cadillac liked to make major switches in the middle of the year. In mid year 1964, it went from the "Skinny Minnie" transmission (where REVERSE was all the way to the right) to the Turbo 400 (REVERSE was where it was supposed to be). The T-400 was so much better, although it did not have bwnd adjustments.

Most people who know about Cadillacs will tell you that the 472 was a better engine, but I always found it easier to work on the 429. The 429 used to leak more oil than a Ford of that era, and you had to work pretty hard to accomplish that

.....And this is how the Russians steal our password... "Security question #1 what was the make and model of your first car?" BRB while I go and create a "what was the name of your first pet?" And "Where did your parents conceive you?" Threads....

Did that one have the triple duals? I had a friend who had a 1962 Sedan de Ville. The 1959 and 1962 had the same engine, a 390 (actually, 1959-1963). In 1959 and 1960, an option for triple duals was available. He found a 1959 or a 1960,I forget which, now, in a junkyard that had triple duals, so he took them, the linkage and the manifold off it to put onto his 1962. It seemed that he had to go to a speed shop and buy some kind of adapter, but I forget, now. At any rate, we got the thing onto it. He rebuilt the carburettors, we got them on, got everything in tune. That was one rocking Sedan de Ville when we were finished with it.

 

Wow is everyone here a car expert⁉ You can pinpoint the specific year of the crappy car 😅

My answer is the lime green one, from that one year 🤕

Wow. How much $ do you people spend? Some posts look like an Excel spreadsheet !

Before listing my cars. Allow me to share this sorrow.

2005 Lexus LS 430 (Mum's car. RIP on 28th June, 2018). A truck side-swiped the car when changing multiple lanes without indication and forced it to rub against the shoulder barrier of an expressway. I feel terrible for the car. Coupled with the elegant colour of satin cashmere, this car is probably one of the most beautiful on this planet. Unlike America, most Lexus LS targeting the Asia market are equipped with executive seating. The amazing massage is the best refreshment after school 😊.

Car was totaled, the other driver was later arrested for reckless driving and fleeing from the scene. Instead of one year of imprisonment which ends in the blink of an eye, he should be executed by guillotine in my opinion for damaging such an elegant car. A few months later, mum has received some compensation from the logistic company that hired him. I wonder if that @@@@hole has re-applied for a license to drive again.

May you rest in peace. You have become a very important part of my life. Thank you for your service.

Here are the cars that I have owned

2004 Lexus LS 430
2008 Toyota Crown Hybrid (out of state, gift)
2011 Lexus LS 460 (sold)
2015 Lexus LS 460L
2019 Lexus ES 350 (sister's car but co-owned)

No just kidding he was really sweet but we ended it a while back.

Lesson learned? Never ever ever should one significant other teach the other how to drive. Not ever. That's why they invented driving schools.

btw- i think you wrecked because there is some weird looking polka-dot slime on the pavement!

I would sue.
