Unhappy Who owned your car before you? Mine are bad

One was the CEO of Thysenn Inc. Kenneth Graham

indicted by a federal grand jury on federal conspiracy, money laundering, tax and mail fraud charges relating to their participation in a $6.5 million kickback scheme.

the other was:

Wein fraudulently offered and sold fifty-six individuals $4.3 million in unregistered securities of Millennium Services Corp


This car has had some bad owners.

Does anybody else have any similar owners?

First was a lady in Arizona and the next a businessman in Connecticut. During their stewardship of my car, they treated it well, so they are alright by me!

I'm jealous. How come you get all the luck? Now your car is worth way more as having had previous bad boy owners.

Mine was owned last by a boring physician who drove it once or twice. He's a notorious 35-year PCA member, too. He told me he's upset that he is missing two Panorama issues.

The original owner of my car (I am the second) is a former President of the PCA.

First owner is unknown other than he lived in NY and NJ then moved to CA. The second owner is Jim, one of the early members here. He had he car for 8 years and did all the work on the car. Some very nice upgrades, no expenses spared. Then he sold it to a lady in CO who had it for a couple of years. She sold it to me and now the car is back in NY where its life originally started. And I'm planning to keep it for quite a while.

So not very exciting but that's my car's story.

My dad was the prior owner my car. He put 38,000 miles on it over the twelve years he owned it.
I have added another 45,000 miles in the three years I have had it...I just love driving this car!
Dad kept it completely stock while he had it. I on the other hand continue to slide down the slippery slope of tasteful modifications - with dads approval of course!

Default My car was owned by John Voight!

From the Seinfeld tv series. George buys a Lebaron convertible once owned by John Voight. Turns out while he thinks (hopes) it is the actor, the first clue was the different spelling of the first name (which Jerry Seinfeld jokes about - "maybe before Jon Voight became famous, he spelled it J-O-H-N". Turns out it was a dentist. George is unhappy.

My '95, AFAIK, has had three previous owners. First in Florida, second and third in Pacific NW (where it resides today). The most recent owner, a woman, had the car serviced correctly at the local (and really only) Porsche dealership in greater Seattle. I have those service records (with her name redacted out). She paid through the nose for routine stuff.

But, seriously, my car was ridden in by two tv/movie stars. Sorry, I can't reveal the details.

My car was owned first by an FBI special agent, then by a female gynecologist (yes, really), then by a Microsoft exec.

I am a firm believer that some things are best left to the imagination. This surgeons website confirms that belief.

The funny things is that I am in the investment Industry. However, I have done it for 15 years and never crossed over to the dark side.

It will take a $$ Billion before I do. Jail is not for me!!

Going by all the stuff I keep finding underneath the seat in my car after 5 years of ownership, mine was a either a Pimp or a drug dealer in Miami...maybe both...
