Talking I知 a Caraholic!

Hello my name is SpeedCostsMoney and I’m a Caraholic.

I think I need to get some help. I’m 35 years old and had 22 cars and 4 motorcycles. Wow, I just sat down and counted them all. My wife thinks I’m crazy but at least I don’t go through women like that. I’m happily married to my only wife. Here is the list of cars and bikes I’ve owned. This does not include the cars my wife has and had. Some time I had two cars but in most cases I had these one at a time.

Cars

1. 1984 Pontiac Trans AM - wreaked
2. 1989 Nissan 300ZX - wreaked
3.1989 Toyota Supra - traded
4. 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS - traded
5.1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX – sold
6. 1992 Toyota Tercel - sold
7. 1995 Pontiac Firebird - traded
8. 1989 Pontiac Grand AM - sold
9. 1967 Ford Thunderbird - sold
10. 1966 Ford Mustang – sold
11. 1998 Toyota Tacoma - traded
12. 1966 Ford Mustang GT - sold
13. 2005 Ford Mustang – Lemon (Ford gave me a new one then traded)
14. 2006 Ford Fusion - traded
15.2007 Scion TC - traded
16. 2009 Toyota Tundra - sold
17.2001 Toyota Mr2 Spyder - traded
18. 2005 Mazda 3 - traded
19. 1997 Miata STO – traded
20. 2003 350Z - traded
21. 2004 Mazda RX-8
22. 2010 Mustang GT Convertible

Motorcycles

1. 1997 Honda Nighthawk 750 - sold
2. 2008 – Kawasaki Ninja 650 R - traded
3. 2009 – Harley Davidson 883 - sold
4.2009- Kawasaki Concourse 14 - sold

Yep, I need help. Do note the Mustang is where I have stopped…for now. Anyone else a Caraholic?

Wow! I thought I had a car problem. I am 39 and I've had less cars than you. I think my problem could be fixed with therapy, you may need meds. . While I owned a mustang first, I never drove it as a daily driver. It wouldn't stay running long enough for that to happen. I too stopped at a mustang. Most fun car I've ever owned. Least modded too. I guess that shows how good a car it really is.



1967 ford mustang cs yellow
1980 Mazda GLC tan
1990 Toyota tercel blue
1984 Honda accord blue/black

1980 Mazda rx-7 blue
1987 BMW 325is red
2001 gti 1.8t silver 2003
Toyota tundra white

I've had something like 25 cars and 4 motorcycles, but that stretches over 59 years. The last motorcycle was in the very early '70s and we have just the Mustang and a 2006 Honda Accord V6 sedan now.

My wife wanted me to sell my motorcycles when she got pregnant, which was not a big deal. The drivers around here are crazy! Whenever the weather got nice I would start to want to ride again. My wife suggested we get a convertible and I was already looking at getting a Mustang GT so it all worked out. The GT Vert I have works great since the whole family can ride with the top down.

A buddy I grew up in school with had bought and sold over 30 cars through out high school, was really good at fixing and flipping.

Several mustangs, over 8 different bikes, trucks, jeeps, civics, galant and many more.

Was pretty interesting to see the amount of cars come in and out of his garage/yard haha.

My problem is I get tired of my car after a couple of years. I kept my '66 mustang for over 5, which was the longest I ever kept a car. I hope the same stays true with the GT I just bought. My plan is to keep it stock till I start to get tired and then start modify in it.

I couldn't agree with you more, I'm looking forward to getting the 5.0 in the future, but currently I'm more than happy with my mach 1.

I figure ill wait for the 15 to release till I start looking at the 13-14 gt

Paul's currently got more cars than any of these lists, haha! He'd probably need an assistant to help him list all the cars he's had.

I've listed mine in another thread before. Not all that many really. I probably own more cars now than from ages 16-35 combined.

Well not quite but close.

Plus I may have owned my wife's cars but do those really count. Maybe so. I've always driven them.
