In order since teenager, and some key points. I worked on all my cars, the majority of them extensively, including full restorations, for some I rebuilt the motors too. These were all mine and not just bought to resell.

1975 Cadillac Coupe De Ville. Hand me down from pops. Gold w/ 472 cu.
1976 Pontiac Grand Prix. Five of us cruised the FL keys together with same make
1976 Pontiac Grand Prix. Replacement for above car, Gold w/ T-tops.
1978 Chevrolet Z 28. Traded GP for this project. Restored it. Can u say Card Sound Rd?
1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 4 sp 12bolt 4:10. Traded car for 427 for the vette
1970 Pontiac GTO 400 4 sp. In our group for several years. Restored this car twice.
1971 Chevrolet Corvette 454 auto. Swapped in a 67 435hp 427. Pops said it had to go.
1977 Pontiac TR7. I think I blew up the motor one year on xmas eve.
1984 BMW 528. College was not good to this car either.
1985 BMW 535 5sp. Replacement
1983 Porsche 911 SC cab. Red

Currently
1987 Porsche 911. Targa. Red 3.2 G50
1969 Porsche 911. E widebody
1999 Porsche 911. Tiptronic Black with full leather
1980 Porsche 924 turbo/931. It does have a turbo.
1985 Porsche 928S Black 5 sp. Project that included 86.5 parts car. Still gathering interior pieces.

This must be a slippery slope.

2000 Lexus ES300 - beautiful, luxurious and comfy
2006 Honda Civic Hybrid - new twist on rice-burning ... 44 mpg is habit-forming
1994 Porsche 928 GTS - one of a kind, most potential of any car I've owned

Default Am i that old....

Formative years

Became mobile at 14 with a Suzuki TS 125 - In Alabama you can get a license for an under 125cc bike and stay on roads that don’t go over 45 MPH- greatest sense of freedom I’ve ever had.


1982 - 82 Camaro V8 - New Body style, T tops - Ye haw
1983 - 79 Fiat X-19, Black, No A/C perfect for Savannah , GA summer
1984-86 VW Scirrocco 16V - My first German love
1987 -1989 - Toyota MR2 - Great car, indestructible
1988-1991- 88 Kawasaki Ninja 600 - great for college parking
1989 - 199 - 300ZX Blk paint, black int, factory balk wheels, Japanese Knight Rider

The Dark Period Also known as the first marriage years

1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse
1993-1995 Mitsubishi Diamante - Yes I owned of the actual 3 that someone bought in the US - Velour interior and all

1995-1996 - 95 Mazda Miata I became metro sexual before it became a term but I’m not proud

The really dark period Company car years

1996 -19200 -94 Infiniti J-30t Great car, old 300 z engine
1996 -97 Chrysler Cirrus - I must have loved that job to drive that crap
1998-1999 - 98 Beige Ford Taurus, Everybody would get out of my way on the interstate if a put a blue coffee mug on the dash high enough to see


Beginning of enlightenment - A return to normalcy

1999-2000 - 87 944 - GP Wht/BLK - fun car, underpowered
2000-2003 - 00 Nissan Pathfinder SE -(Wife's car)
2001 2004- 98 BMW 540s - Fun car that literally started falling apart at 80k miles
2004-2006 - 04 Nissan Pathfinder LE - (Dog and Wife's car)
2004-2007 - 01 911 C4 - Almost every option including Full Carbon Fiber
2006- 2010 - '06 Infiniti QX56 - (Dogs, Kid, boat , Wife car)
2007 to present - '04 911 C4S Cab Basalt blk/blk - Great car
2010 to present - '11 Infiniti QX 56 ( trying to buy the last big SUV before they go extinct
2010 to present - '99 Lexus SC400 (64k miles bought from original owner estate auction) Airport/Atlanta combat daily driver


Total Enlightenment or the beginning of the end

August 2011 to present - 1991 S4 (36k miles) Bought from Original owner GP white/blk interior - needs lots of love and attention

1st car was a white porsche 924 turbo (1980) (1 yr)

After that:
1983 Honda Accord (6yrs)
1992 Honda Accord (10yrs)
2007 Nissan Versa (3yrs and current ride. Awesome little car!)

Had another 924 project and 931 project during those years that came and went.

Then summer of 2010 I bought an my 928 project. (1982 euro hybrid in the works)

Hoping to get a 931 again and do the carrera gt conversion with my oldest son
(10) some day.
