1. 70something AMC Gremlin. It was given to me, GEEEEZ! (first car, didn't want to hurt my uncle's feelings.)
2. 88 Mustang LX (burned to the ground)
3. 83 GSL (this is were my love for rotaries started) When it was all said and done I had over 220,000 miles on her and she still ran good. I lost the tranny cause I drove it like a 5sp. I'd get up to about 30mph, slam it down in 1st and stomp it. I would'nt shift into 2nd till' I got up to around 55mph
4. 64 Impala (CHRISTINE) I could'nt keep it cause it tried to kill me. The guy I bought it from said his dad was working on the rear end, when it fell on him and killed him. The son finished the work and drove it for about a year before I bought it. I was driving it one day, then all of the sudden, BOOM! Half the rear end falls out. I sold it the next day!
5. 86 VW Jetta gl P.O.S!
6. 90 240sx (homemade vert ) Really fun car!
7. 95 Nissan p-up (My workhorse!) Brings pizza to the hungry D/D
8. 81 GSL Had some fun with it for about a year, then found out it was a rust bucket. (stripped down flower bed in a junkyard somewhere )
9. 85 GSL Under construction! Rebuilt, ported, powdercoated, n/a 12a. Holley 600cfm/RB manifold, tweakit pulleys, lightweight flywheel s/s clutch and pp from RB...Many more parts to buy but i'm gettin' there. It's in my friend's body shop now. Full color change (engine bay, all jambs, rear hatch area..etc) Shaved emblems, crazy rear taillight job with some custom lights made by your's trully. Fuel filler and door from a miata was molded into the top the rear deck area. (above that ugly, square, stock fuel door)<custom piping for that also. Flush headlight kit (handmade) in the works, along with a full custom interior using carbon fiber, fiberglass, and aluminum. (Not that retarted, pimp my ride ****!) It's going to be tastefuly done. Simple front end from Xenon, mild flares, and to top it off, a set of 3piece Panasport c-8's 16x8"fr 16x9"r Sabelt int. accessories ie.. pedals, shift ****, steering wheel, harnesses. DAD seats being reaphoulstered. 6pt Cusco cage (ready to be installed) Brakes and susp.. soon. I'll do a spread when it's all done.

73 Mazda RX-2 -- A fun little car that was quicker than it looked.
76 Cutlass Supreme -- A big sloppy pig of a car that proved V8's can be slow.
89 Mazda 626 LX -- The perfect daily driver. Fourteen years of reliability.
71 VW Super Beetle -- An interesting second car. Good in snow.
85 Chevrolet C30 Silverado Dually -- We're talkin' serious truckage. (Still own it, probably never sell it)
88 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II -- Street/strip project that has gotten pushed too far down the to-do list. Runs good, wants to be faster, sits in the garage a lot. (Still own it)
01 Subaru Outback -- A disappointment. Painfully slow. Not my kind of car.
93 Volvo 940 Turbo Wagon -- The replacement for the Subaru. Superior in every regard. (Still own it, will ultimately be replaced by a damn minivan.)
78 Corvette -- Wife's toy. Pretty. (Still own it)
01 Audi A6 2.7T Quattro -- Wife's dd. Why can't Americans build a car like this? A little too cushy for my taste, but a hell of a nice highway car. (Still own it)

'84 Mazda 626 - HS car with a rusted frame and busted rear suspension, but the engine and tranny wouldn't give up.
'89 MX6 - My first custom car...I got a taste of pouring my money into a shitbox.
'87 TII - My second custom car...I miss it a lot
'86 626 - the biggest shitbox ever, but I did some nice burnouts for the week I owned it
'88 Subaru DL wagon - Drove it for 50K with a total repair cost of $300.
'87 TII - Probably the best $3000 car I could buy...and then sell to Kelly for cheap.
'96 Eagle Vision - Free and problematic...now it sits around and gets me parking tickets
'02 WRX - I just got it 10 days ago. Pray for me.
