1997 white Ford Taurus station wagon
â96 Mercury Topaz
1968 Chevelle Malibu two-door hardtop. No power steering, no power brakes, I think it had a gallon of Bondo on it.
1992 VW golf. 4 dr, stick shift. i liked that little car.
While we are at it how about motherâs maiden name?
one step at a time
Drove regularly, '67 Chevy Impala
Owned, '83 Mazda 626
Not so much âownedâ as âgiven regular access toâ . . .
Wonât mention exact details for security reasons, but my dad was able to buy a modified version of this vehicle that was also purchased by municipal police departments (cough cough Denver Metro cough cough) and was âsouped upâ to allow for driving at high speed w/o wearing on the engine and the drive train.
Needless to say, I took it âout to nowhere-landâ and put it through some paces. Yes, it could accelerate w/o a strain on the engine.
So how many kms do you have on that now?
2006 Saab 93
I believe we sold it off to a junk yard when it was ~25 years old; with well over 200k miles . . . [gets calculator] . . . over 325k km.
Engine did finally wear down, but that was likely due more to poor maintenance on my brotherâs and my part though.
First car was a 78 Camaro. I hate camaros now, and hated them then, but it was a thousand bucks. In fairness it had some gidddyup and go.
My buddies son just bought a 76 Vega lol. If a moped was a car, it would be a Vega but itâs a pretty cool car now.
A 2006 Cobalt. No automatic windows, or locks, but the transmission was automatic and thatâs all I needed.
Paid it off within a year with my first actuarial internship pay.
Itâs actually the only car I ever owned outright. Leased two SUVâs after that, and now have a van financed. But that will be paid off this week.
1996 Toyota Supra
1973 Volkswagen Thing
1977 Buick Skylark in an ugly mustard yellow. No idea why Dad liked that color when he bought it but I got it when they bought a Corolla to replace it the year after I went off to college.
1990 Rover Mini, a proper one like the ones in the original Italian Job with Michael Caine.
Nice humblebrag about having kids.
Could it be that he liked that it was a Buick at a really good price? Or was it custom ordered so he had to choose the color?
Baller alert.
