List of cars you've owned

1982 Plymouth Sapporro my first car, my parents gave me $500, I saved up $2k. Fun little car with a 5 speed. It died because a new flywheel was more than half the cost of my next car.
1988 Pulsar I was in college and this car was fun. Another 5 speed which was fine on the flat roads in NC, but driving up hills was a challenge for the 1.6L. Blew a headgasket going up Afton Mountain.
1996 Civic EX another 5 spd which felt like a rocket compared to the Pulsar
1998 Ram 1500 - decided to ditch my office job and started a landscaping company (Civics dont haul mulch very well). This was the first automatic I ever owned. Was pretty stripped down and cost around 16k. Had a 318 CI and she was thirsty. Traded it in on a 2003 Chevy 2500HD when I decided to go big time and start hauling a 24' enclosed trailer. Loved that Chevy, all the power anyone would ever need in a truck from the 6.0L gasser. Averaged 9mpg hauling that big azz trailer in city traffic. Sold the lawn business and went back to work for the man so i took my wifes 2000 Explorer and bought her a 2001 Town and Country. The Explorer was great, had the upgraded 4.0 SOHC and looked really good in forest green. Got a sweet sales job and decided I needed to drive a sweet car so I bought a 2007 Mustang GT 5 speed. Decided to open another business so I traded in the Mustang on a 2004 F150...that hurt because I loved that Mustang. New business didnt go so well, went back to a sales job with tons of driving so I got the ultimate sales person car...a 2004 Saturn Ion😂, which was also a 5 speed. When the clutch gave up I needed something quick and found the 2009 Saturn Vue (still own it, but it is my daughters DD now). Got a sweet deal on my uncles old 1996 F150 5speed (still own it but barely drive it anymore). Had and office job near my home so the 15mpg from the 5.0 didnt bother me. The FBI decided that my former boss committed bank fraud, wire fraud, and other crimes so I got a new job that requires 60 miles of highway travel everyday. Im old now so I need an automatic, but I still want to enjoy driving. Found the 2007 Mustang GT in my sig on Facebook marketplace. She needed a lot of little things done but the price was way under anything else that was fun to drive and it gave me tons of weekend projects.
During all of this time my wife has owned a 1988 Prelude 5 speed, the Explorer mentioned above, the 2001 Town and Country mentioned above, and the 2009 Flex that is in my signature. Starting to consider a replacement for the Flex but everything my wife likes costs over 30k and we are both too cheap to pull the trigger. Plus i enjoy working on cars and the Flex is giving me plenty to work on lately😂

- 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5S. Eh.
- 2001 Honda Civic LX coupe. T-boned in passenger side and whiplashed into another vehicle with the driver side. New owner fixed all damage, just to have the auto tranny bite the dust soon after. Double ooops.
- 2008 Mazda 6i, 2.3L manual. Comfiest driver seat I ever sat in. A huge bonus on long drives, 31MPG with 500+ mile range was nice too.
