Well, I have had over 75 cars, the most noteworthy are in my signature. Before the 928, here is a brief synopsys of the previous 4 years:

1) '72 Ranchero - bought this about 6 months before the 928 to replace Florida car - still have it, but it's now in Vegas - no Florida car for now
2) 86' 944 Turbo - still have it
3) '93 Saab 900 Turbo convertible - sold it after buying the 944T
4) '92 Lexus 300 - $650 Florida car - cheap and reliable
5) '86 Camaro Berlinetta - Florida car after LTD blew up
6) '94 Jeep Cherokee - still have it - bought it (after looking at 100's of vehicles)with 105K on clock and drove it from Tampa, FL to Las Vegas, NV 3 days later
7) '83 ford LTD - no not a Crown Vic - bought for $300 for my breathalyzer car after DUI, as those *** monkey's weren't putting that crap on any car of mine with any electronics!
8) '00 Nissan Frontier 4x4 Ext cab - only had 10 payments left when got a DUI and had to sell to pay for lawyer - wear what was left over on my wrist (TAG) every day to remind me what time it is!

As soon as I can get the transfer case replaced in the Jeep, It's going back to Florida for transportation there. These rental car costs are killing me...money could be better used for more parts to fix MY cars!

1998 Chevy Astro Van - Still have it for camping and carrying kids around, now the grand kids. Ha ha. But I bought the 928 to ride instead of my motorcycles since I thought it was comparable. Same top speed, YAHOO - VROOOOOOOMMMMMM!

Holy guacamole! Where did you live when you had those? Was that in the US?

I don't think I have seen many Citroen CX over here, and probably no more than one or two of the XM.

Used to love Capri's. Wanted one for a long time when I was in High School. Sweet!

Hi Nicole:

Mark can answer for himself, but I suspect, with his Jag & Rover proclivities, he's a transplanted limey.

Since 1989 I've only had 3 daily drivers, and a total of 6 cars. The MGB would have been a disaster of a DD, I only put 5K miles on it in 4 summers in high school/college. Cured me of the English car disease.

1978 MGB ('84-88)
1989 Honda Civic DX Hatchback ('89-00)
1995 BMW 525iT ('00-08)
1990 928GT ('07- )
2008 Honda Odyssey (08- )
1993 928GTS ('09- )

Whatever he is, these cars likely prepared him well for 928 ownership...

Other then daily drivers, my hobby was sport bikes before my 928. The last two I had were a 2003 Honda CBR600RR track only and a 2006 Suzuki GSXR1000 for the street.

Rob, you're about the same height and build as me, please let me know how you fit in the MGB.

[QUOTE=EspritS4s;8129440]Here's my list, looking backwards and excluding my current cars:
1995 Black Lotus Esprit (worst car I've ever purchased--buyer's error)


How come?
Love Lotus, but I am just a dreamer for now.
