Title: Re: How Many Cars Have You Had?
Post by: Lt.Del on November 12, 2007, 10:48:29 pm
Well, in order starting when i was 15...

1.   68 Mustang 3spd 200cid 6 banger, replaced it with a 250cid from a Maverick, after boring it .60 and flattening the head---man she screamed after that.

2.   65 Mustang coupe 289 2bl low miles.  Restored it for concours correct car shows and won many awards...until an 8 point buck jumped in front of me.

3.    65 Mustang GT Convertible, 'A' code 289 4bl 3spd. bought from original owner.  Still sitting in my garage.

4.    79 Chevy pick up.  Took the 350 out and put a 383 STROKER in her.  She hauls...um, whatever I want. ;D  Still have it.

5.    91 Suburban.  Started a family, had to get the burb.  From Arizona--so it had never been rained on ;)  350 3/4 ton 4x4     Still have it.

I am 40 yrs old now and I have only had three daily drivers.  The 68, which took me through college and then some. The 79 pickup, now the 91 sub.  The convertible is just a weekend pleasure thing.  So is my 79 now.

I have too many vehicles at my residence now with the two trucks and the convertible and the Sheriff's car.  My wife has her Cherokee out there.  It looks like a used car lot out here.

I almost forgot.  I bought 70 firebird (bad motor) and a 76 trans am (bad body, great motor) from a buddy.  He was going to swap the engines. the 76 had a newly rebuilt 400 cid 4bl w/ header and a 4 spd muncie w/ posi trac rear.  I paid $1,000 and did the swap myself.   

I took that awesome 70 firebird out for a test drive after all was completed and it nearly threw me in the ditch.  Wasn't used to a posi trac.  The 400 put out some serious hp, backed up w/ the 4 spd muncie and new clutch, man, she was shredding the tires. I knew i would either get fired from being cop or dying if i kept that joker.  Had to sell it.

Never owned a car in my life, only trucks. My first one was an 81GMC. Put a lot of miles on it and decided I better get a new one before I start having troubles.
Bought an 88Chevy"Bic disposable piece of crap and didnt like it so I bought a 88 Ford which was even worse.
Then I found another 81 GMC and will probable drive it for the rest of my life. Currently im 38YO.

Post by: chevyguy5894 on November 14, 2007, 12:01:40 am
I had couple

1.76 Chevy LWB Heavy Half- it has a .060 350 with a th400 and Holley Projection setup - Still own it but sits more than driven also its wore out

2. 89 Chevy Beretta- Been upgraded from a 2.8 to a 3.1 and would outrun newer Mustangs
when I was in college - Got rearended because a woman didnt want to stop at a light before
turning right.

3. 89 Ford Ranger Ext Cab 4x4 - Couldnt kill the motor but transmission would always go out - Sold it
due to tranny problems all the time - Bought this one in place of the Beretta.... it was hard to find a
Chevy then that I was looking for in my price range.

4. 84 Chevy LWB single wheel 1 ton - had a 305 I got for free out a 86 p/u and had a 4 speed - bought it for $600... spent about $150 to get it running and sold it for $1100 - The body was perfect just needed paint.... I could have asked for $2000 maybe.

5. 62 Chevy Stepside - My dad gave me this truck.... My dad was the 3rd owner and his dad was the 2nd.... was a old farm truck with only two small dents in it and a straight 6 and 3 speed on the column - When my dad had it he added a v-8 and a th350 and also the front crossmember from a mid 70's chevy and a rearend from the same truck... this thing has been a work in progress since 88 so its in many pieces in my dads shop

Wife's Cars
1. 91 Chevy s-10 Blazer 4 door 4x4 - it had a 4.3 v-6 and a 700R4- she bought it back from a family member for $200....motor had a melt down due to retards.... bought another truck for motor and after selling everything that we didnt need probally had about $1000 tied up in it after I put a motor in it and spent alittle time on it - traded it due to no time and baby in the house

2. 99 Ford Ext Cab SWB - had a 4.2 v-6 and a 5 speed - We traded the blazer to take over the payments on this turd... it was so slow on take off and driving around but it got 20mpg all the time and it would pull a heavy trailer, it pulled the 1 ton chevy from waco to austin but couldnt put it in 5th on the trip - trade it in for another vehicle

3.06 Chevy Cobalt - traded the 99 for this car - Great car it really runs its quick enough for what it is and is much faster than the "FORD" - This thing has the Ecotec 4 cylinder and its a auto.....

1993 acura integra gsr... i bought it when the ricer sceen was gettin big and was content till my ex's mom backed into it and totaled it

1988 mustang GT... this thing was highy modded... so much it was a junky daily driver because it was meant to haul ass not go to work... but i wasn't complaining caus i got it for 2000 and sold it for 4500 w/ a blown head gasket

1999 yamaha R1... MY first sportbike!!! had it for 2 weeks and then the bank found out it had a salvage title and stopped that loan from being processed!!

2002 yamaha R1... my second sportbike and it hurt me... TWICE... broken tib and fib the first time and a torn knee the second... soooo i sold it and bought a...

1995 honda cbr900rr... had this thing for a month ... got sick of it and traded it for a...

1993 eclipse GSX... this  "censored word's will get you removed from this forum" hunk a junk NEVER ran... NOT ONCE.... finally sold it for like 1500 bucks

2004 dodge neon SRT-4... i hate to admit but i actually miss this one... i bought it when i was workin at a dodge dealership and this thing was a factory freak of nature... there wasn't another one around that could hang! sold it because of all the shoot it gave me w/ the tranny later on but while i had this car i went through these next bikes

2001 yamaha R1... after he looped it out and it set for 6 months my friend ele told me if i would fix it i could ride it for the summer... soooo since i had a bunch of old r1 parts i jumped all over it.... needless to say a dumb woman backed out of her driveway when i was on my way to work  and tagged my ass... the damage apraised somehow ;-) ;-) for 6000(some know the whole story) so i just gave ele the check for 6000 and kept the bike and fixed it for less than 300 buck... then i traded it for a...

2001 honda cbr 929... i got this because i had just got into the whole stunt thing and this was the bike to have at the time... rode it for a while and had JUST started killing standups when i traded it for a...

2001 cbr 600f4i... this is when i REALLY started getting into stunting... and im tellin you this thing woulda got me in trouble SOOO many times (if i woulda actually pulled over)

back to the neon... ended up gettin a nice little....

1992 silverado singlecab... nice little truck... lowered and had a rockin 383 stroker in it.... but the tranny wouldn't hold up so i sold it AND the f4i(which i HIGHLY regret) and bought a....

2001 singlecab chevy... gawd i loved this one... lowered 4&6 and had a v8.... poor thing got totaled on fathers day... courtney K was drivin and a blazer pulled right out in front of us and she smashed the poor thing right up under the blazer :'(

2001 cbr600F4i... i absolutely HAD to have another one! bought it wrecked and built it back into the highlighter you all know and love today!

1999 2dr tahoe... im normally not much of a lifted offroad vehicle kinda guy but it was nice and loaded and at the time it was all i could get caus i had just changed jobs so i didn't have the job stability to get a loan and they guy i bought it from let me make payments.... well a month and a half ago a dumb sob didn't know what "yield left on green" meant so he turned and i hit him and spun his little fart can mobile around TWICE.... totaled my tahoe and i just bought a

2004 pontiac GTO: had it for 5 months and got sick of payin 300 a month for insurance and i had just got my bike back so i needed anothe truck.... sold it and started the search for a squarebody(73-97 chevy)

1986 chevy C10: this is one of those things that you question.... was it just by chance or fate?!?! i am FINALLY make dang good money and i want to build a truck so i start lookin for one of these and come across the ONE that i i thought was gone for good.... you see about a year and a half ago one of my best friends had a c10 he wanted to build into a nice truck but didn't have the money... so he went to rebuild homes for the hurricane relief program and while he was gone he was killed in a motorcycle accident... and his parents didn't wanna sell it but they wanted to give it to someone close to him.... we tried to get them to giv it to my cousin shae because she was the whole reason he left... he wanted to make some money to start a life with her... so we wanted her to have it so we could help her build it into the truck he wanted it to be... but they gave it to someone else... who sold it :-(... back to the story... my brother-in-law calls me and says he has a friend w/ one for sale so i take a look at it on his myspace and tell him i like it and to email me a copy of the title for my banker.... when i got the email my heart skipped a beat... because right there under "previous owner" there it was..... Matt Shagula! from this point on i decided i will not cut corners or cost anywhere.... this IS going to be the truck Matt dreamed (w/ a little of my flavor of course!) it may take a while but this one i can't/wont let go of! rest in peace brother!

*now the best of ALL is the one i saved to list for last..... the 1987 DODGE RAMVAN!!!... ok i know what you are thinking... a VAN?!?! YES! the few who know what im talkin about will tell you!!... this thin used to be my grandmas and she gave it to my mom and my mom was like heck i dont need it soo... (insert evil laugh here) i took it... we put this thing through EVERYTHING... we jumped the fuuuuck out of it.... off roaded it... ran it into shoot like shoppin carts and all kinds of others... threw pumpkins out of it and once we even threw a shoppin cart out the back at like 80... tied to a LONG ass rope!.... and the best part of it was the shoppin cart started tumbling and tangling up  in the rope at a HIGH rate of speed and you shoulda seen the look on our face tryin to CAREFULLY slow down and keep it from  SMASHING into the back of the van.... WOW i miss this thing!!! here's to you ol ramvan... we MISS YA!!!

im not sad to have my first car still, i love my truck and right it is a daily driver probably till i get out of school and get a full time job. Then im going to redo the whole thing. it was my grandfathers so it has some sentimental value. and by the way, not that it matters, im 17, forgot my birthday was a couple weeks ago.

WOW....those are some amazing lists of cars and trucks.  I guess I have a long way to go if I'm ever gonna catch up with any of those lists.  I'm 34 and still driving my 75 k10 that I got when I was 16.  It has however had more than a few different looks too it over the years and as long as I can find parts to fix her up.....I'll drive it to the grave ;D
