96 Ford Ranger
2006 Ford Escape
2008 Ford Edge
2011 Audi Q5 (Bought, not leased)

1986 Ford Bronco II 4X4. First car...dad bought it for me when I was 16. It had 108K miles on it when we bought it and I only put about 8K on it.

1995 Chevy Cheyenne single cab truck. My dad work me up one morning and told me to give me the keys to the Bronco as he was going to get a new vehicle himself and wanted to trade in my Bronco. He would hand me down his truck. It has 83K on it and we sold it when it had 111K on it 3 years later.

2001 Ford Ranger Edge. The first car I bought new myself when I was 18. This truck lasted me all through college. Great vehicle. I put 89K miles on it and never had a single problem with it whatsoever.

2008 Nissan Titan. I bought this soon after landing my first real job after college. I got it on the day we beat Nebraska in Lincoln 37-14. It's still my current daily driver, and has about 55K on it. I love everything about it except the gas mileage. But all the good things about having a big truck with decent power > poor gas mileage. This truck was kind of an impulse buy. Since I was 16, I had ALWAYS wanted a fast car. I liked the Fbodies. I spotted a 2002 Trans Am WS6 6 speed in Houston after that I was planning to go down and buy. At the last second, my dad asked if he could come. He is bigtime anti-performance when it comes to vehicles. So is my mom. I should have known it at the time, but the second we test drove the car, he talked me out of buying it. This car was damn near flawless with only like 30K miles on it. He said it "wasn't cherry" which made me burst into laughter. On way back to Waco (where I lived at the time), he suggested that we stop in College Station at the Nissan dealership there (he had a 2006 Nissan Titan and loved it). About 1 hour after walking onto the lot, I was the proud owner of a 2008 Galaxy Black Nissan Titan.

1994 Corvette. Remember how I always had an itch for a sports car? We'll, 2 months after buying the truck, I purchased a used 1994 'vette. It had 78K on it. It wasn't the color I wanted (polo green), nor a 6 speed, but it was cheap and at the right place at the right time. I couldn't resist. Last summer, I had to fire sell it though due to losing my job. DAMN I miss that car. I always loved the 92-96 'vettes. Great performance for the $$$ even to this day. Once I get my life back in order, I will most definitely be getting another one Next time though, it'll be a 6 speed and not polo green metallic.

catag, I miss the hell outta that Tahoe. Wish I would have kept it, made it a project.

1999 Pontiac Trans Am WS6
2012 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Limited
20?? Ford F-150 EcoBoost (potentially coming soon)

1984 Mitsubishi Tredia 5-sp - Holy crap words cannot describe how terrible this car was. Have you seen one on the road in the last ten years? Not likely. Bought at 40k miles and traded in at 60k miles. Not so cool fact: 5th gear never worked.

1991 Honda Civic 5-sp - Fun to drive and reliable, this car got me through college. First new car. Totaled at 86k miles.

1994 Ford Probe GT 5-sp - Thought this was a 'fast' car, which it was compared to the slugs I had owned previously. Poor build quality but I loved the looks and drive. 45k - 70k miles.

1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 6-sp - Bought new and put a Borla exhaust on it, along with lowering springs. As if that were not bad enough, it also had stock chrome wheels. Sold at 28k miles.

2001 Honda Prelude 5-sp - Slow acceleration compared to my Camaro, but it had a great shifter / clutch and it did go 140 mph. Which was enough to embarass a Jaguar convertible owner and his SO riding shotgun. Sold at 12k miles.

2001 Honda S2000 - Too bad so many people think this is a girl car, because it is awesome to drive. 1k - 8k miles.

1977 Dodge D100 - Only thing interesting about this truck is I bought it for $3k and sold it for $5.25k. 320k - 321k miles.

2002 Pontiac Trans Am 6-sp - Purchased this car because I missed my Camaro. Big mistake. Somehow the Camaro 'felt' much better. Or maybe I had just gotten older. Sold at 4k miles.

1990 Infiniti Q45 - Always wanted one of these cars. Pretty nice to drive and decent ride. Really liked the sound and feel of the engine. 126k - 138k miles.

2000 Audi A6 2.7T 6-sp - Loved the look and feel of this car. Rare 6-sp manual was very smooth. 31k - 75k miles.

1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT - Automatic transmission sapped whatever fun this car may have been in its' day. 161k - 162k miles

2005 Acura RSX Type-S 6-sp - Best shifter / clutch I have ever driven. Bought new and sold at 16k miles.

2006 Pontiac GTO 6-sp - I love everything about this car but the damn shifter. Not terrible but just not quite right. Garage Queen bought new, currently 23k miles. I do not drive it enough, probably time to sell.

1999 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4WD - Daily driver purchased so the GTO could spend more time in the garage. Wish I still had it. 88k - 119k miles.

2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab - Current daily driver. Bought with 31k miles, currently 72k miles.

Nope, had it about 3 months but I did not like driving it. I bought it for cheap to try and keep from running out of warranty miles on the Audi. Could not afford to drive that car without a warranty.

Late 20s

1983 Chevy 4x4 look like the Fall Guy truck. Was my Dad's truck and he gave it to me to drive in HS. We put a 383 Stroker with TH 350 transmission and 3:73 gears and 305 tires. Motor has 530 hp and 600 Ft. Pounds torque. Still has this truck 17 years later. My only Chevy.

1997 Ford F350 Crew Cab 4x4 Powerstroke XLT I drove this truck while in college. Love this truck because it was a 5 speed manual shift and the 7.3 motor was bullet proof. Still have this truck and its used as the ranch truck. The truck has well over 250,000 miles on it. Had to put a few batteries, new glow plugs, a new clutch, and recently put in all new injectors.

1996 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer 4x4 Maroon and White color. It had the 5.8 L (351) and I had put 295 BF Goodrich All Terrain tires on it. My Dad bought this and gave it to me in 2000. I loved the Bronco. It was totaled by a 75 year old man that ran a red light and hit me. Wish I still had it. The Bronco only had 52,000 miles on it when that happened.

2002 Ford F250 Crew Cab 4x4 Lariat 7.3 Powerstroke 5 speed manual. Great truck and never had any problems with it. Traded this truck in later on a 2006 Ford.

2006 Ford F250 Crew Cab Lariat 4x4 6.0 Powerstroke. Drove this truck and still have this truck. Had to put a few batteries, 2 sensors that control the purging of the fuel to the injectors, and have routinely flushed the radiator and transmission. Truck has about 150,000 on it and i have let my brother drive it recently.

2009 Ford Expedition EL 4x4 Eddie Bauer I bought this new for the wife to haul the kids but also for family trips. Have had no problems with it and recently just out new tires on it and did all the 60,000 mile maintenance on it.

2012 Ford F250 Crew Cab 4x4 Lariat 6.7 Powerstroke. Love this truck and best diesel truck I have owned. It already has 38,400 miles on it. I get about 20 MPG on yhe highway and 16 MPG pulling my 5th wheel or cattle trailer. 400 HP and 800 Ft. Pounds Torque.

1965 Ford F100 This was my Dad's truck in HS. We recently just fixed it up and restored it together. Painted it Maroon and White, has white interior and seat, put a Ford racing 427 Big Bore motor in it that has 525 HP. Ford 9 inch rearend and a Racing High Performance Ford C4 transmission.

1) 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis 4.6 V8 - mom's old car that I drove during high school.
2) 1997 F150 ExtCab 4x4 5.4L V8 - wish I still had this. Needed transmission work and decided to get rid of it.
3) 2002 F250 CrewCab 4x4 7.3L PSD - fun truck, but it was just too big and maintenance + diesel was more than I wanted to pay for.
4) 2009 F150 CrewCab 4x2 5.4L - owned for a little over a year and have been happy with it.

1ags, didn't you have an early-to-mid-80s Buick B/C Body? I'm thinking I once saw pictures of a very clean, champagne-colored Buick Electra or LeSabre.

Yup.

1984 Lesabre Limited. 53K Original Miles.

Pimpin' ain't easy

Bump for the hell of it.

90 Mazda 626 4door - 1st car in high school, not bad until some chick pulled in front of me on the last day of sophomore year and there it went.

86 Celica GT - my first 5speed, fairly cool car back then

90 Mustang GT - blue / grey, I was a junior in high school when I was bitten by the 5.0 bug. I had it for about 4 years until some asshat started a chain reaction pileup on 35W in Dallas and poof there it goes.

95 GT - Black, auto, nice car but a slug.

95 Cobra - White, black leather, Got it in 2000 or so with 73k, now pushing 164k but is one of the few nice push-rodded SN95 Cobras you'll see on the road. Just finished a 347 build and have a few cosmetic things to finish out.

95 Lexus SC 400 - Dark blue, nice cruiser, it was a slug too like the GT auto. Got that when I retired the Cobra from daily driving in 05.

06 Infiniti M45 - Silver, black leather, Leased a new one in 06, had it until 09. Solid car, fairly quick, pretty sharp looking with the aero kit and 19" sport OEM wheels.

06 M45 - Bought an almost identical car to the one I turned in, for about a month I had both in the driveway until the lease was up. Up to 74k and no major issues so far. Keeping it stock and have only added a few speakers and a Basslink in the trunk.

1955 Chevrolet 150 wagon (2 door) - tilt front end, dual quads, 4 speed, 4.56 geared 9" Ford rear end. Damn fun
1978 Toyota - commuter car. T-boned by a drunk after a few months
1983 Toyota - commuter car. Became the HowdyMobile when I went to A&M
1971 Buick Skylark 2door coupe - really sad to sell it. Was going to be my greatest "sleeper" of all time.
1995 Nissan Truck. Meh. Did it's job very well though.
1999 Silverado 4WD. Wanted to push it off a cliff
2009 Sierra 4WD. So far so good.... still loving life with this one.
1948 Austin Dorset - gasser project
1969 Plymouth GTX - kinda wish I hadn't sold it
1927 T Roadster - 472 Caddy power. Pure fun beater
1947 Hudson Pickup - about to become a 1937 Hudson Terraplane pickup

2012 Subaru WRX



Long list!

I really like the looks of that WRX. Fun to drive I presume?

1953 Chevy truck- got it formy 15th birthday w/ a cracked block
1982 Mustang GT - graduation present
1991 Chevy truck
2002 F150 king ranch
1954 Chevy truck - restored it

1980 Ford Mustang - A car that was given to me as a gift. It was in pretty bad shape when it fell into my hands. My dad and I did some extensive motor, suspension, body and interior work to get it back to good. I drove it through high school and my first two years at A&M before the electrical problems started and had to get rid of it.


1990 Volkswagen Jetta - A loaner from my parents after the Mustang went kaput.


1995 Toyota Corolla DX - Graduation gift from my folks. I drove it for five years before giving it to my sister. The thing just won't die and is still in the family to this day at 229,xxx miles.



2000 Ford Mustang GT - I wasn't too keen on the Mustangs until the new edge styling came out in 1999 and it sparked my interest in it all over again. Bought it brand new and drove it daily for six years, it's a weekend and project car now.



2000 Mercury Sable LS - Purchased in 2006 as my daily driver. It was a great car but it started to have brake issues and I also ended up having the transmission rebuilt in 2009. Everything was OK until 2010 when the issues started up again.

It stayed dormant on my driveway until end of 2011 when I donated it to charity.



2006 Chevrolet Corvette - The other weekend car. I've always wanted a Corvette and I'm looking to add a supercharger to her in the near future.



2003 Mazda Protege LX - My current daily driver that my sister gave to me after she got her new car. Excellent for gas mileage and to get around town.

1979 Mazda GLC - Blue. Got it in High School; hand me down from my sister. Worn synchros in 2nd. Wrecked it twice -- second time was fatal.

1980 Toyota Celica GT - Blue; had only 29k when I got it in 1987, but was sunbaked. Power cut out periodically -- I know now it likely needed spark plug wires. Dad gave it to sister.

1981 VW Scirocco - Red. Bought it and later found out it had a salvage title from a wreck (back in the days before carfax). A/C never worked.

1984 Saab Turbo - Silver. loved it, but at 40k everything was falling apart.

1990 Mazda Miata -- White. Tremendous fun. Paid $12,400 for it in 1991. Parked it when I went to Germany. Sold it for $7500 in 1998 with 80k miles.

1980 BMW 520i -- Blue. Low mileage, great condition -- bought it in Germany cheap. My first trip to Graf it blew a head gasket (wife drove it low on oil). Fixing it would've cost more than I paid for it, so I paid 50 DM to junk it!

1991 Acura Integra -- Red. Technically my wife's car. 5-speed, like the rest above (the GLC was a 4-speed). Had it in Germany -- would do 120mph on the Autobahn. Scary though. Sold it when we had our first kid for....

1992 Ford Taurus -- Forest Green. Leather seats; my first automatic (wife drove it while I had the Miata.)

1998 Audi A4 -- Cactus Green. Only car I ever ordered from the factory; one of two I bought new. 5 speed, no sunroof. Wife had small wreck, and it never felt right. traded in .

1999 Dodge Durango -- Red. Only other new purchase. Great truck, but average 12.7mpg. Sold it with 107k. Wife still misses it.

2001 Saab 9-3 Convertible -- Silver. Auto. Good car, but rattled & buzzed like mad. Sold it when I went to Iraq the first time.

2002 Mazda Protege ES -- White. Auto; bought for wife when I got back. Decent car. Buzzy, though.

2001 Acura MDX -- Silver. Sold the Durango before 2nd Iraq; bought from sister as an interim fix when I got back. Nice, but needed third row.

2003 Audi A3 3.0 - White. Auto; like the first one, so I tried again. CPO, but a lemon -- and horrible karma. Rabbits ate the O2 sensors ($700!) and hit a deer in downtown C. Springs.

2006 Ford Expedition King Ranch -- Copper. Traded Acura on it. Great truck. Still have it. Changing the spark plugs stole 12 hours of my life.

2005 Porsche Boxster S White; 6spd; sold Audi to buy while on leave from Afghanistan. Loved it, and miss it. Sold it to buy wife...

2010 Mini Cooper S Grey; drives like a go cart. Fast. Scary handling at the limit. 6 speed; wife's daily.

2003 Mazda Protege5 - Silver, 5 spd; bought it for daughter to learn to drive. Still chugging with 137k.

1988 Porsche 911 Cab - Silver, 5 spd, 81k. My new baby and fair weather daily. Love it!

Replying to my original post.

Was looking for something else and stumbled back in here

'05 F-150, 5.4L V-8
Convinced me I'm not a truck guy even though she was darned practical

'12 Impreza CVT
Reliable, simple, taught me how to work on cars, slow, made me hate CVTs, learned to autocross in her

'07 WRX Wagon
Takes off like a rocket, fussy as hell, guzzles gas, love her to death

2001 Chevy Silverado
Single cab 4X4 with a V6. Great truck that got me through high school and college and is currently still in the family as a deer lease truck.

2011 Chevy Cruze
Purchased right after college graduation. Didn't keep for very long since it was wrecked in my church parking lot. (Young kid ran into it).

2011 Chevy Silverado
Crew cab Z71. Still own this truck and I'll probably drive it for another 3-5 years. Just a solid truck all the way around and does everything I need it to. It currently has 91k miles and haven't had a single issue.

2012 Chevy Cruze
Wife's car. VERY basic car with hardly any bell and whistles. We carpooled in this one together for a year or so in Houston. Started having some quirky electrical issues and was ultimately wrecked by my 16 year old BIL.

2013 BMW 335i
Replacement for my wife's Cruze. Awesome car and I'll probably purchase one again if I move back to a major city or have another long commute. Hated to see it go, but ultimately decided on an SUV to drive around in the high country of WY.

2013 Chevy Tahoe
Wife's current car. Silver with the Z71 package. It has all the features that we would ever want and it is a great car to drive around the mountains and go on road trips. We'll probably keep this one for at least 10 years and hopefully visit all of the remote trailheads we can reach during that time.

My Own:

1997 F150 XLT - Red regular cab, step side, 2wd.

2006 F250 XLT - Gray crew cab, FX4.

2015 F150 Lariat - White crew cab, FX4.

Wife's:

2003 Four Runner - SR5, 2wd.

2012 Expedition - White King Ranch, 2wd.

1991 F250 XLT - repurposed ranch truck that I drove for a couple months when I first turned 15

2005 Silverado 1500 Z71 - t-boned on a country road and was declared totaled. I was on my way to a school dance.

2006 Silverado 1500 Z71 - had this truck for 6 years & 135,000 miles. Still kick myself for not keeping it and just buying a second car instead of trading it when the rear end went out. I got hosed on that deal.

2013 Silverado 1500 Z71 - Daily driver, 3 years and 64k later she's never left me stranded.

2004 Jeep Wrangler - my weekend/fair weather/bad weather toy

1989-1991: 1983 Dodge Ramcharger(two-tone-brown)- I bought it right after I started college. It had been abused so it ate my lunchmoney for repairs but saved my life several times over.Was my first stereo vehicle also. I drove it like I stole it. Great vehicle. Only got rid of it after some drugged up idiot hit me on 410E by Ingram Park Mall. He went from 60-0 really fast when his little coche hit my rear end. His car was totaled, my truck needed some rear hatch repair and fresh paint.

1991-1999:1990 Ford Tempo(Maroon)-first car I financed. An utter POS when it came to front ends. I replaced 2 and it needed a third (at around $1100 a pop) when I let it sit on UTSA's campus from 1996-1999.Finally surrendered it, paid off the very little I still owed on it.

1995-1999:1977 Impala(Gold)-had a big, bored-out 350 with all sorts of mods, etc. Had a 2" lift, but with all the subs, etc in it it sat about 3" off the ground. :-) Good car, was stolen and stripped April of 1996. Let it sit in Aunt's backyard garage until 1999 when I traded in on the next car.

1996-1999:1979 Olds Delta 88 Royale(White)-Dad's car, had started taking care of him, so I used his while I was carless. Solid car, little problems. Also traded this in on next car.

1999-2002:1997 Ford Taurus(White)-Decent car, solidly built from a safety standpoint. Took a full-size Chevy p/u hitting me in the side and only one small dent.Finally got rid of it due to tranny failing. Traded in on my truck.

2002-2004:2002 Ford F-150 Sport Supercab(Red)-awesome truck. No problems at all.

2004-Feb,2007:2004 Mustang GT Convertible (Sonic Blue)- AWESOME car.Modded. Superfast and superfun to drive. I have only been beaten by a Vette, and it wasn't walking away.

2006-Feb,2007:1994 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4(White)-had to buy this when I moved to Iowa in the middle of winter. Mustang doesn't see snow!

Feb,2007-April,2010: :2007 Chevy Trailblazer SS
Fully forged LS2, big cam, built racing transmission, Yank torque converter, a lot of other stuff...oh, and NAWWWWWWS and a ProCharger, yo!!!

---

October,2009-present: 2003 Chevy Silverado 5.3L. Bought it to tow the TBSS, now is just another driver. @ 202k+ miles now.

April,2010-present: 2010 Volkswagen GTI 6spd. All sorts of bolt-ons and other mods, tuned for 100 octane so I give it meth. 82k+ miles now.

Sept, 2014 - Present: 1996 Audi A4-Silver, 5spd, 2.8 12v slowmobile, leather, Quattro. 202K+ on it now.
