1992 Hyundai excel the ONLY car I bought new and was a total POS, so bad Hyundia was forced to buy it back in Arbitration
1986 Toyota supra

When my father had a used car lot back in 1991-1993 when he died I bought, one car at a time, a car I owned to sell on the lot, I sold over 200 of them, and had almost a different car 2-3 times a month or so when people would trade their car in when they bought mine, I cannot remember them all.

Except for the ones that were really new, the 1992, 1999, I NEVER paid more then $1k for a car, most were $500, and a few were $50 or free

So far in 2 years I have owned 3 cars, cant do it as often since I got hurt, Im stuck with buying and selling ones that have nothing wrong with them. I am right now selling my 1988 RUST FREE 88 Astro with the V8 for $2995. WHY? I got my eye on a few other cars Id like to have :)

And this is it.
And just so you know, Im funboy6942 and ProductVideos4U on YT, feel free to message me with either and I will reply.

I am too poor to keep them all at the same time. The only time I had more then one car at the house was after my Father died. I had 1 fiero, firebird, bike, and boat at my home, other then that I am always buying them cheap, selling them cheap, and buying another one cheap, and kept getting more that way. When I was younger I never really titled any them, had a open title in my hand, and when I got pulled over just told the cop I just bought it, was loaned the money to get, hence why its not filled out, because they want it in their name till I paid them back. 99% of the time it worked, and when it didnt I would get it titled in a friends name,or sell it before court, and it always got thrown out.

I love cars, and if I ever got rich enough that I didnt have to sell any off, Id be in a ton of trouble in needing a lot of space, and the wife bitching I need to get rid of a few hundred or so.

So how many have you owned?

I tend to hold onto my cars until they die. I'm 40, so here goes...

197x Datsun 210
1982 Chevy Citation
1984 Jeep Cherokee
1990 Mitsubishi Elipse GS Turbo
2000 Nissan Maxima (*)
2004 Mazda 6s wagon
(those were personal cars)

In addition as a family we've owned:
1992 Nissan Sentra
1992 GMC Sonoma (*)
199x Oldsmobile something (briefly, was pseudo-inherited)
1998 Centaurus conversion van (*)
2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L (*)

* - still own

So not too many all things considered. I only drove the Cherokee for a year or so before I got my Eclipse (which I loved). I enjoyed the Mazda wagon but my wife needed a newer van as the conversion van was getting up there in mileage and terrible on fuel efficiency so I took the Max and she got the Odyssey. The Citation was a fantastic college car and fairly reliable.

Owned myself? Just 2:

1997 Nissan Maxima
2004 Nissan Xterra

I drove a 1990 Buick Century that my parents gave me as my first car. It worked fine until the oil filter blew a seal while I was doing 65 on a highway and the oil pressure light didn't come on.

I did until 1979 when I moved and didn't have room for her. She was like new with only 25K miles on her in '79.
