What cars have you owned?

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

56 Ford F100 (Dropped a chevy 454 in it) Sold it because the insurance company wanted $15k per year for a 16 year old kid.

67 Chevy SS/RS (396 V8) Sold it because the insruance company wanted $9k per year for a 17 year old kid

69 Chevelle SS (427 V8 bored out to 445) Sold it because the insurance company again wanted $9K per year. sigh.

72 El Camino (350 V8)

93 Honda Civic si

2004 Audi A8

2005 Audi A4 4.2 Quattro

I would love to get an Audi A8 w12 model, but those are really expensive. I think my next car will be a Subaru WRX. The only American cars that I would consider is a pre-1972.

Blastphemer!

[elmcitymaven 9,711]

Currently in the US: 1993 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX (mine)

1995 Ford Taurus GL (also mine)

1971 Jaguar XJ6 with a Chevy small block dropped in (his)

1990 Honda Accord (also his, bought because the XJ6 is a smidge moribund)

We have also had and sold on in the past three years here a 1987 Chevy Camaro, a 1984 Corvette and a 1990 Saturn SL1. Right before we moved to the US, we had a 1968 Morris Minor 1000. Bruce has also imported and sold on a 1980 MGB GT LE (believed to be the only one in the US), and there's a 1971 Triumph Spitfire in storage back in the UK. He has bought and sold more cars over there than I even know about, and since I get confused about them all it's best not to ask lest I offend his sensibilities.

Edited: I realised I gifted the Morris 100 extra cc than it really had!

[Wyatt's Torch 45]

I have owned, in order:

1984 Oldsmobile Omega

1979 Pontiac Trans Am (my baby for four and a half years)

1981 Chevrolet Chevette (my worst car ever...ugh!)

1986 Oldsmobile Regency Brougham Ninety-Eight (totaled after being rear-ended by a semi)

1994 Plymouth Acclaim

1997 Mazda 626

2007 Chevrolet Malibu

Believe it or not, every car I've owned has been U.S. built. Even the Mazda -- that was the first year of them being considered a domestic car, rather than an import.

My Malibu is great -- still under 10,000 miles on it. I still miss my Trans Am though.

How did you like the Aveo?

It was ok, as it had a European-style shift (similar to that of my 1995 Jetta; the other two Jettas were automatics), but not as nice in fuel economy (I could make a straight run from DC to Monroe, MI in my Jetta where the Aveo could not make it to Toledo without a refill) nor as comfortable (unlike a VW, I could not put the seats bolt-upright).
