'61 Corvair-  $100 classic first car bought '69 to go to college
'67 Mustang-  had to try one
'61 Ford Pickup- to haul race motorcycles
'69 El Camino- upgrade for above
'70 GT 6- love it but heat from firewall in summer cooked tootsie's
'66 IH Scout- early sport utility vehicle
'76 Datsun Pickup
'76 MGB- burgundy and beautiful, periodically refused to start
'68 Mercedes 250 SE- real wood, wool, and leather what a wonderful smell
'75 Mercedes 250 S- not as luxurious as the '68 but nice
'83 Honda Accord DX- practicality time 
'87 Honda Accord LXI- put on 160,000 with only a clutch repair required
'84 BMW 325i- torque galore but went brain(black box)dead around 140,000 miles
'87 Sterling 325SL- Honda engine wonderful, Lucas electrics not
'91 Isuzu Rodeo LS- back to sport utility (present bad weather driver)
