Wow an 1898, talk about a classic car.

Re: Cars you've owned previously...
I've had a few, but definitely no where near as many around here. And I think you will all see a pattern to my purchases.
1) 1986 Peugeot 505 GL wagon: a hand-me-down from the parents--the worst car I've ever owned
2) 1986 VW Jetta coupe: I loved this car because I really wanted a VW, but it turned out a bought a totalled car
3) 1993 VW Fox: fantastic car for what it was--got me through college and some of grad school
4) 1985 VW Jetta coupe: total beater, but decent nonetheless
5)1995 VW Corrado SLC: my baby and I still own it. The car now was just under 300 crank hp (has the following modifications: supercharger, wilwood 4 piston calipers, 7lbs flywheel, CF hood, forged JLine wheels [and the stock speedlines], short shift kit, custom spring rate Bilstein PSS coilovers [and is cornerbalanced with a moderate alignment], catback exhaust, solid rear sway bar, solid motor mounts, Peloquins LSD). I've done a few autocrosses and HPDEs in this car. It's not the fastest car on the track (though it's surprised a number of people), but it's ridiculously fun.
6)2006 GTI: my first new car- I can't say enough good things about this vehicles. It deserves all the awards it's received. But it's not a sports car and therefore:
7)2008 Crossfire: This is my first real new car as the GTI was leased. This is a vehicle I consider as a present to myself for getting through years of grad school. I've loved my VWs, but always wanted something designed from the ground up as a sports car. It's not as hardcore as other options, but it's still a fantastic vehicle by all accounts.

Re: Cars you've owned previously...
Have not had too many cars at this point, but here you go:
1. 1992 Mercury Topaz - Was crap when I bought it, was crap when I got rid of it years later. Some friend of the kid I sold it too put it out of it's misery for him.
2. 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier - I have a soft spot for this car. Bought it from a little old lady for $800 with 26000 miles on it. Never, ever gave me any problems. Had absolutely NO power with the automatic.
3. 2006 Chrysler Crossfire - You all know about this car.
4. 2004 Cavalier - Daily driver that never gave me any issues until a lady made a reckless left hand turn into me. Totaled at her expense.
5. 2008 Cobalt Sport - Nice daily driver that I have had no issues with in the few short months I have owned it.

Re: Cars you've owned previously...
mine is actually very simple and i am a big car fanatic but can't bring my self to buying new expensive cars every so often and rather invest that money.
first car was hand me down/bought, brother bought car 1993 acura vigor back in 2000 and he used for like 6 months and then i took over the payments. drove that car from 16 till 23 total of 7 yrs and then at 23 got a brand new 08 limited 6spd and plan to drive this for 3-5 yrs and then upgrade.
now the fun part about owning a car for a long time is doing all the work and modding it to improve it. My acura had horrible fluted lenses and lighting was crap crap crap. i retrofiitted Acura TSX HID projector which blow away the crossfire projectors into a jdm one piece headlights and just like that i upgraded the intake, exhaust, suspension, brakes, system and loved that car and hate to let it go but had to get the crossfire due to this thing called perma-grin.

Re: Cars you've owned previously...
My list isn't nearly as long as everyone elses, but I guess me being 23 years old, you all have a head start. But my most recent two are pretty impressive, IMO!
In chronological order of purchase:
1995 Ford Escort (sold 2 months after I bought it). Complete with blue confetti interior and dash, non-working radio and A/C, and those seatbelts that strangle you when you open the door.
2005 Toyota Corolla S (sold 1/2008). Fully loaded with classy 18" chrome wheels, tint and amazing aftermarket sound system.
2001 Z51 Corvette Convertible (still have...forever). Too many mods to list.
2005 Crossfire Ltd. Roadster (still have...forever). Need I say more?
Short, but sweet.

This is my 2001 Hyundai Tiburon. It was featured in many of magazines. I fabricated the door panels and suicide doors. It can be seen with detail at nationalcustomcarassociation.com I've won quite a few trophies with this baby. But I got rid of it for the Crossfire.

This is my other car, 1979 Datsun 280ZX. i was planning on doing the 350 SB engine swap but it's currently for sale so i can get air ride for my crossfire.

AND THE CROSSFIRE BEFORE IT WAS PAINTED AND BEFORE THE WHELS WERE POWDERCOATED.

Re: Cars you've owned previously...
I've had a few but nothing special like my Crossfire.
1985 Pontiac 6000LE (the Goulie) - Fully loaded Pwr everything & V6 (beat my brother's '93 Civic Hatch)(milage when done 204000 Kms)
1987 Honda CRX - Automatic Choke.....fun little go cart (milage when done 138000 Miles)
1990 Honda Civic Si Hatchback - not too bad, sunroof leak like a **** (190000 Kms)
1987 Honda CRX Si - Like the old one but much better, Pwr sunroof, Fuel injected, and sportier engine and suspension.....much more fun go cart...near mint (245000 Kms)
1993 Ford Probe GT - Great car. Quick not fast, and drove smooth (2.5 V6). Just wish I had found the sunroof one mint. (milage when done 226000 Kms)
2005 Kia Spectra5 - Honestly cannot say anything bad about this car. Fully loaded with Pwr everything and sunroof, 16" alumn, really nice lookin car. Never had a problem with the car......(milage when done 180000 kms put on in 4 years from new)
2005 Chrysler Crossfire Limited - If I had to write anything you wouldn't own one.....
All were manual except the Goulie.....

Re: Cars you've owned previously...
As I recall (Alzheimer's sux):
'41 new *****'s 4X4 pick-up ... A classy red beast. Came with a factory gun rack.
something
something
'63 new International Harvestor Scout ... White on red. 4 cyl. America's first and worst SUV.
'63 used Corvair Monza ... Silver. Turbo. Forget who made them (Chevy?) but it could do wheelies. Went thru a few clutches.
'69 new Mustang Cobra Jet ... Green. 428ci. 85 mph in second gear - redline at 4500 rpm. Insurance was pricey. Wish I still had it.
'72 used Chevy El Camino ... Silver. A pick-up on a Nova platform. Sexy ride, but couldn't haul squat.
'89 used Cadillac Eldorado ... Bright white. 472ci. Most beautiful car ever made. Gave it to the first wife - wrecked it.
'88 used Buick Reatta Coupe ... Red. Before its time - didn't sell well (like the CF) but still got laid a lot. Gave it to the boy - wrecked it.
'89 new Chevy 1500 pick-up .... Bright red short bed. Gave it to the same boy - wrecked it.
something
'99 used Jeep Grand Cherokee ... Silver. Plush. Still have it, along with the third wife. Better car than the new ones.
'05 used Crossfire Roadster Limited ... That blueish silver color.
If I don't get rear-ended (will be hard to find butt-end parts one day) probably be the last car I'll own. Fine by me.
