Holy Garages Batman - this may take some memory dredging...
1st ever was a '66 VW bus w/ the canvas sunroof....very slow !
60-something Subaru 360 with a 2 cyl./2 stroke engine, it would
hold 4 adults, and get to 50 MPH on a long flat straight in like
10-15 minutes, with a tailwind.
1957 Hillman Minx soft top. Lots of weight. Bad electrics. Brakes ?
1964(?) BMW 1600-2 sedan (This one takes my 'least favorite car' award !)
Following was a collection of VW beetles for about 5 years, too
many to remember individually - ending with the one that got the
rebuilt engine that overpowered the gearbox, and...
1971 (?) VW type 3 wagon which got the type 1 engine and a home
made doghouse over the fan shroud - till it tore that tranny up too.
Multiple '70's vintage Saab 99s, including one I put the British
engine into that was only 'sposed to have a Swedish one.
1984 Toyota Camry 4 dr. sedan - nice car, but very, very ordinary.
2 more of the same using parts from all the others to make them whole.
(10 years is too long to be away from Saabs !)
1987 Saab C900S - my return to the Saab world - finally !
1989 Saab 9KT - a poor introduction to a great family of cars.
1989 Saab 9KT in better shape than the last one...
1993 Saab Aero w/ TCS - a fabulous money pit !
1992 Taledega red 9KT w/ TCS - temp car - gone before troubles...
1988 Saab 9KT 'Carlsson' found at TSN, sold to another TSN user.
1994 Saab Aero, non-TCS - THE most perfect car I ever had, lost to moose.
1993 Mercury Villager minivan, w/ auto trans - in a word - yuck.
1994 Subaru Impreza wagon - very leaky, but a nice car for a beater !
And at present, a 1991 Saab 9KT - which would be perfect if I had the
interior from my lost '94 to put into it !
I think I remembered all of them, but I might have missed a couple.
Had a bunch of motorcyles too - that's what I drove first, and my
first legal one was a Bridgestone 360 2 stroke with a dry plate
clutch, fast and fun !
This does not include all the trucks and various HD rigs I had for
hauling wood/horses/etc - many Suburbans and F250 trucks and others.
Wow - great trip down memory lane, thanks for asking that Gina !
