Update of cars owned (43 as I can remember)


Recommended Posts

Wow..43 in 19 years...that's a lot of cars. I've only had 6 that were mine in 20 years (oldest was an '84), (plus one inherited and several of my folks' cars that I drove at various times).

Yeah, time to update.

44. 2000 Chevrolet Camaro SS (made $1800 in a little over 1 month of owning it.)

45. ROACH III; 1994 Chevrolet Caprice

The HHR and PA are for sale. I'm hoping the HHR sells so I have an excuse to keep the PA for a while. It ranks up there on one of my all time favorite cars that I've owned.

That's the one you drove when we met up in PA a couple years or so ago, right?

Simply an awesome car :).

As for me ... NO updates ... yet ;).

Though it's not officially "mine", I now get to ensure and use a 2007 acura tl. Our kid couldn't afford to ensure the car, so we took it. He's paying the lease and we get the car for atleast the next 6 months. My neighbor and Dad gave me a bad time for allowing a "foreign" car to park in my garage. I usually don't even allow this type of crap in my driveway.

Oh what one does for their kids. :)

Since my list of personally owned vehicles is very short, the following list is that of family-owned vehicles that I have likely driven more than 100 miles in.

Grey: Car that I could have called my own, except the title wasn't in my name

Green: Cars that actually have/had the title in my name (or wife's name).

Bold: currently in the possession of immediate family.

Cars are listed in approximate chronological order of family possession.

1972 Chevrolet Van - Formerly a G30, but the rear axle was replaced with that of a 1972 Chevy Nova. Sits in my dad's garage to this day. Sending it to the junk yard is on the to-do list, but probably won't happen for years.

1985 Chevrolet Beauville (Passenger Van) - Much bigger (and more reliable) than the 72 Van. Used mostly for hauling either lots of people or lots of stuff. My dad sold it off at some point in the past decade.

1997 Oldsmobile Achieva SL - The beater family car until the engine compartment melted. RIP.

1985 Cadillac Seville - Quite possibly my favorite beater of all. My father-in-law drives it now.

2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT - My dad's current car.

1997 Chevrolet Astro AWD - A seller's remorse vehicle that my dad bought for hauling purposes.

1997 Chevrolet Venture - My wife's car until we bought the Cobalt. Now driven by mother-in-law.

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LT - My current car. And my favorite out of all of the above. :)

Honorable mentions: family cars that I have spent very little driving time in.

1998 Chevrolet Malibu - A lease car. The car I drove my first mile in.

1994 Pontiac Firebird Formula - Brother's car, titled and financed through my parents. Brother stopped paying; parents repossessed. Parents eventually sold car to a high school friend of mine. As awesome as the car itself was, it represented a bitter time for my family.

2000 Chevrolet Impala - A lease car that I was privileged to use sometimes.

2008 Cadillac CTS4 - My sister recently leased this car. Fully loaded minus Navigation. So far I've done little more than pull this car in and out of the driveway... but my opportunity will come. :AH-HA_wink:

Nice. I miss all my Oldsmobiles. That's my true love, obviously. Someday I'll find the right one, just can't decide what year I want this time. It also has to be one my husband can get into with me, I turned him into an Olds fanatic, but with kids and everything we gave up and bought new fuel injected cars with warranties. :( But I'm ready now to have one sitting in the garage again. Problem for me mostly is I really want to restore a mid-80's, hard to do. My favorite year is '84. My first one was black, with beige velour. Beautiful!!!!

Agreed. If there's one car I'd buy as a toy/driver/project to sidetrack me from my Eldorado and other things, it would be a nice '71-'72 Riviera. Even the '73's are beginning to grow on me. Hopefully in a few years I'll be able to spend around 5K on a nice solid turn-key one that maybe just needs some cosmetic help.
