Whew, what a list. I'm sure there were some I forgot.

The most fun I've had in a small car was a 67' Austin Mini Cooper S. The lady who owned it wanted me to give it a spin around the track for the fun of it. I did warn her that I wouldn't be kind to it. The torque steer was something else, but that's about the most fun you can have on 12" wheels and a skid pad! It was like driving a go-cart on steroids

The second best time in a small car was a 95' Neon ACR that he bolted racing slicks on. Again, it was an offered ride as I didn't bring a car that day. It was like it was glued to the track. I didn't get offered a ride again in that one either Lesson: Never beat the owner in his or her own car... if you ever want to drive that car again

 

[XJ-ARNIE]

coolest ride I ever drove was either the 70 Gran Torino SCJ, or the 69 Daytona. Never owned anything notable

 

[terrehautian]

Owned
1995 Pontiac Grand AM: First car, sold due to leaking oil, burning oil, and leaking rain water.
2001 Chevy Malibu: Bought once my Grand Am was dieing. Replaced the lower intake manifold gasket twice in two years. Was going out again when I sold it. Replaced front bearing units twice on each wheel due to bad units. Replaced brakes way too many times. Bought my XJ a year before I sold the Malibu, Malibu was drinking coolant like some of hte winterfest campfire attendees probably will. Mechanic diagnosed it as the LIM gasket again so I sold it for 600 dollars because cheapest quote I could get was 500 dollars. I met a guy who goes to my church who said he would have done it for 2-300, wish I would have kept it.
99 XJ: bought as a second/play toy/kayak hauler/snow driver. Paid 2k for it from a coworker.

Now what I have driven for more then a mile.
01 Dodge ram 3/4 ton pulling a trailer on the way to and from New Orleans.
01 HD 883 Sportster (friends bike)
06 HD 1200c Sportster (another friends old bike)
2010 Victory Vegas (demo day bike)
2011 Victory King Pin (demo day bike)
Dodge Minivan from Northern Mississippi to Indiana with no A/C in a rain storm (not fun).

I think that about covers it.

Excuse me for not being older than dirt.

[vincepru]

im only going to post a couple pics of what my DD's were from the ages of 18-21 (note. i did not own these cars)
06 gallardo

bentley GT, phantom, RS4 in the background, and the lambo

one of my favorites M5

08 gallardo spyder

the reason why i am no longer in that business ( tons of sketchiness)

ill try to find more pictures but honestly i never took pictures i was more into driving them, had about 78 exotics throughout 3 years.

 

[vincepru]

the big horn i took over payments on for a friend who could no longer afford it. and the blue range rover sport supercharged caught on fire during a mudding rampage one night lol

 

[kmanxj5050]

whats the "business"?

 

[vincepru]

a not so official exotic car rental company, took off really well then we got screwed and things went south people turned on eachother because of greed and lawsuits followed. luckily i got out once i got my first taste of sketchiness. it was a fun experience/ life lesson, and the saying money that comes quickly leaves even quicker, is the truth!

 

[vincepru]

and the saying money that comes quickly leaves even quicker, is the truth!

especially true when you own a jeep! :explosion:gonnablow:repair::gonnablowassgas: :loveu: :arrowl:!!!1

[GoSlowGetStuck]

Bought my first car in my name in December '06. Been through a few since then:

00 Cadillac Seville
99 Trans Am (white)
05 Pontiac GTO
99 Trans Am (again, dark blue this time)
98 ZJ Laredo (gave me my first Badlands experience)
89 XJ (bought a week after the ZJ, apparently I had fun offroading)
00 Tahoe (damn 350 blew up a week after I had it)
94 Tercel (so I had something to drive while fixing the Tahoe)
89 Sidekick
92 Accord

Currently I'm left with:

94 ZJ
01 F250
87 XJ
95 Cutlass Supreme

I feel like between sales tax and registration and all of the little general maintenance stuff, I'm getting pretty screwed every time I switch vehicles, so I think I'm stuck with those for a while now.
