I have no idea where my pichas are but heres it goes

1st car: 1976 Mustang Cobra II. I think you all know of this one lol. Love that car to death, and I still have it. I came so close to ruining it so many times with m badly planned motor swap and other also badly planned adventures in that car. To this day I wish I had invested more in car knowledge and that little V6 before I decided o swap it out.

2nd: 1994 Mazda Protege. This car was the family beater that I used while the II was in the shop(s). The car had the better mazda motor of the time, the 1.8L and it was fun to beat on. almost a quarter of a million miles when the radiator and tranny crapped out and we dumped the car. I had so much fun in that thing :P

3rd: the replacement beater. red 1998 Mazda protege. This was moms car until she and dad both got their BMWs. When the Grey 94 died, mom got her X3 and this became the new beater. My II was still in the shop so... lol

4th: We traded in the 98 protege on my slightly used 2001 Bullitt. This is another one I dont plan to get rid of. Its pretty much brand new with just over 9K miles on it now.

5th: 1986 Camaro 305. Friend and Iraised money for our school based and self founded car club to buy this POS lol. we learned how to work on cars with i and spent many a weekend cussing in my driveway trying to figure out why the hell GM put the distributor in the least reachable place in the car. Sold it at a horrible loss a little while ago, but it was good times with friends and I learned a pretty good amount of car related know-how. I'm just glad I never have to seeit again :P

DANG...! All I have to say is WOW! My family thinks I've had a lot of cars. Some of you guys have had more cars than used car dealers have had.

Okay, Here it goes.

1) '78 Cobra II - First car, loved it had a lot of fun in it. Wasn't fast, but was somewhat quick and handled well.

2) '82 Capri RS V-8 - loved the car but had some issues, the carb never behaved correctly and then the 'ol SROD aluminum 4 speed imploded. Cost a small fortune to fix the trans.

3) '95 Escort GT- slow, but looked decent and was used for field service so mileage was key. Dead reliable, never a problem.

4) '86 Mustang GT - My baby, I loved that car even though we got off to a bad start. The original T-5 had issues right away due to a bad u-joint. One thing led to another and basically I ended up replacing the trans out of pocket but the problems were finally resolved. Ate many a Camaro/Trans Am/ IROC with that car.

5) '93 Probe GT - Cool car, small though ran well corner as if on rails.

6) '94 Explorer XLT - time for a family and something to carry them in.

7) '93 Mazda 626 ES - nice car but it hated me. Things went wrong with this car that didn't go wrong with Yugos. Spent $5,000 fixing it and finally said enoughs enough

7A) For fun I had picked up a '97 Mustang GT Convertable. When I almost got my butt handed to me by a Nissan Maxima, I decided to dump and got a '97 Cobra convertable. Garage car used for fun and nice days.

8) '00 BMW 323i - loved this car, the nicest overall car I've ever owned but sold it on fear of out of warranty repairs when jobs went sour. I should've kept it

9) '01 Cougar - Didn't like this car, couldn't see out of it, seats weren't comfortable dumped it fairly quickly at big loss

10) '03 Mazda 6S - I liked the car but the Mazda curse was back. A horrible clutch chatter and warranty repair eased my pain for a bit but when the chatter returned a short time after I decided to bail. I don't need to be replacing clutches every 13,000 miles.

11) '01 Escape XLT - good little truck, minor complaints but never a problem.

12) Traded the '97 Cobra for the '05GT. Love this car, will probably keep it a long time

13) Just traded the '01 Escape for an '08 Escape Limited. Really nice little truck. Enjoying it tons so far.

2001 Ford F-150. First "car" and still have it. It's big, sucks gas, and loud, but it still runs like when I first got it and I'm going to probably roll over 200,000 miles this weekend.

Hmm well lets see here

1 1973 Nova Hatchback
2 1969 Nova
3 1990 Mitsubishi Mightymax
4 1986 S10 Blazer
5 1990 Eagle Talon Turbo
6 1996 S10

9 1993 Ford F150

13 2000 Camaro (currently own)

Mine is kind of funny looking that out of 16 cars 7 of them were FoMoCo but in my defense I did not own my first Ford until I got married to a Ford Fanatic and still to this day don't calim any of them . I blame them on her . But i still have my Camaro and it is my turn for the next new car so in 09 I'll add another GM on the list. Heh just remembered there are quite a few that I forgot that either I didn't keep long or dont remember the order.

80's Ford truck
another 69 Nova
19?? New Yorker
1990 Dodge daytona
1994 Tercel (current DD)
1970's Datsun pickup (current in the yard but can't get rid of for wifes sentimental reasons)
and oprobably a few more I forgot.

1989 lincoln mark vii LSC....kenne bell blowzilla, port work, tci streetfighter tranny, 3.73's with built solid...custom air suspension, MAF conversion, seats, gauges, tint, paint full exhaust etc....

1999 ford mustang cobra, converted to built solid axle, jlt intake, full exhaust, tuned, brakes, suspension...not much else.

1997 lincoln mark viii LSC, stock DD.

2003 ford mustang SVT cobra 10th anniversary coupe. still own. black with red interior, brake upgrade, 3.73's with fully built IRS, custom tune, intake, shifter, stereo, tint, mild suspension work....gauges of all sorts, daily driven....by far the best short of my first which would be close in acceleration straightline, it won't once I get my 2.8 pulley on, but I liked the sleeper better a little. plus it rode nice and got better gas mileage.

1977 yamaha XS-650 with custom engine with nitrous system and some other little work here and there.....sitting in a garage right now, still own.

2005 dodge neon SXT still own. great daily driver (parents are currently using) yes I make payments on this and the cobra. I've never gotten any help....I'm good with money. when I get it back from baghdad, the cobra will be getting some serious mods. and a new truck will also be added to the driveway....yet to decide on that one....

Not in exact chronological order:

-1967 Firebird 326 ok shape, not restored sold, drove while restoring the other one:
-1967 Firebird Sprint -gutted and restored full roller motor tons of work: sold(threw the ohc 6 away finding out later that the motor is extremely valuable and the sprint was very rare)...
-1969 Firebird 400 ok shape, not restored/ran fine but never titled: sold
-1971 Pontiac Catalina 400 Hardtop(4-door) found in 1993 with only 17k miles, was garaged/parked from 1973-on. Replaced all the rubber and had it for years. Towed better then a truck and looked like it came out of a time machine... one of my favorite cars Tag frame said 'my other boat is a Stingray'....
-1972 Datsun 240Z ok shape less rust then average: sold
-1976 Datsun 260Z super nice new interior no rust new motor restored with JDM 'pencil' bumpers and headlight covers: stolen right when it was finished Painful just to type that...
-1986 Mustang GT (red with T-tops) bought from dad-never should of sold...
-1987 Dodge Shelby Charger-about as fast as you could get scrap metal to move at the time- sold
-1987 Escort GT sold cheap to me from family, gave to another family member-actually was a fun car at the time
-1989 MR2 supercharged-bought for G/F in '91 totalled(by her-not her fault) last year of the original body, no black plastic everything painted red with T-tops, great car at the time...
-1991 Isuzu Amigo-jacked up with mudders-sold
-1999 Isuzu Amigo(rodeo sport)-sold
-1993 RX7 TT-bought new, caught on fire 11 months later total loss
-1994 Miata-JR supercharger, sold
-1990 Mustang LX5.0 sold
-2003 Focus SVT Euro package-super cool car I still miss-best seats ever..sold
-2003 Focus ZX4
-2000 Mustang GT all hopped up on steeda crack-sold
-2006 Mustang V6 pony-leased waiting for bullitt-gave up after one year after seeing Alloy grey -sold
-2007 Mustang GT(duh)
Over a dozen various cube trucks, vans and pickups when I did flooring installation, and some daily drivers like 2 Escort wagons not that noteworthy, 2 RWD corollas, escort EXP(remember those?), 626, another miata and a few Jeeps and what not I bought and drove just for a few months..Customers always seemed to have ~5k-ish cars I would buy, drive for a bit, and sell for about the same. Had a chance once to buy a beautiful RHD Mini Cooper for $7g with fully rally pack, dark blue with white roof, chrome roof rack, 'big' 12" wheels, and front fogs and didn't buy it. Still regret it every day...

Still forgetting stuff
Never wrecked a car....

Different cars have driven-well over 10,000...
