Cars and Trucks:
1965 Ford Mustang 200CI six - Loved that car. Uni-body rusted out and springs came up through the trunk.
1965 Mercury Comet 200CI six - POS, but could use parts off the Mustang.
1970 Cadillac Eldorado 500CI V8 - 400 HP high compresson motor, masssive torque, front wheel drive TH400 tranny, huge appetite for the best premium available. It was cool doing front wheel burnouts.
1952 GMC Stepside six - Was going to be my big restoration project, all original. Brakes failed going down a mountain, truck totalled.
1972 Ford F-150 360CI V8 - Good truck with plenty of horse power.
1978 Pontiac GrandAm 400CI V8 - Same chassis as the Firebird, PosiTraction, good handling for it's weight.
1972 MGB - As has been said before, everything bad you have read about this car is true. Lucas is the prince of darkness, entire wiring harness had to be replaced. Worked on it every day to keep it running.
1963 GMC truck 300CI six - Ex-farm truck, 4WD, heavy and reliable. Motor was 400CI V8 with two cylinders cut off.
1985 Subaru Brat 1.8L four - A truly wonderful little truck. Selling it was my biggest mistake.
1987 Subaru XT 2.0L four - Bad mistake, nowhere near as reliable as the Brat. Traded it in before the note was paid off.
1991 Mazda Miata 1.6L four - The greatest car I have ever owned. Put 240,000 trouble free miles on it. High end aftermarket suspension and brakes made it the best handling, and braking, car I have ever driven. Sold it to a co-worker recently, it is still running.
1997 Mazda Miata 1.8L four - Wife's daily driver. 110,000 miles on it now. Last year of the original Miata, will keep it for a long time.
2004 Mazda RX8 1.3L RENESIS rotary - Great car to drive, hope it lasts a long time.

1980 Chevy K20- Grandfather gave it to me. Got 7mpg on a good day. Totally rusted out within 6mos of its transfer from Maine to Georgia. You could see rust spots growing in the humidity...
1985 Jeep Cherokee 2dr 2.5L 4WD w/5spd- Kept this one many years. Got it at 16 1/2 drove it till I graduated college. (8 years) had 80K on it when I got it, had 315K+ when I sold it. Rebuilt engine and transmission 1X each...I sold it for $750. I still see this thing running around town now and then 7 years later....
1983 K5 Blazer w/6.2 Diesel- Tore up and couldn't fix it... Stupid diesel. Sold it to a mechanic that was working on it.
1993 Jeep Wrangler w/HO 4.0L- Got this one right after I landed my first "real" job. Lasted six months and I got totally PO'd with it. It stayed broken, but man it was fast (to me anyway). Traded it on my first new vehicle.
1999 Jeep Wrangler w/4.0L (new)- All kinds of trouble with this one. Lasted six months. Always in shop for warranty repairs. Dang A/C system (in a soft top) was always freezing up and for some reason they could not get it right...Traded it on a new Silverado.
2000 Silverado RC LS 4WD w/4.8L (new)- Loved the truck,hated the color. All I could afford and I wanted out of the jeep. Lasted six months...
2000 Silverado 2500HD LS 4WD w/6.0L (new-still have it)- Dream truck- still have it. The truck I wanted when I bought the other one. They called me back at the end of the model year and made me an offer I could not refuse. Not my daily driver now though. Towing and going to town vehicle.
1987 K5 Blazer- The mud machine, heavily modded, but the floor was heavily rusted. I traded it on a beautiful condition 1976 C10.
1976 C10- Daily driver, 2nd owner, 150K original miles, all original inside and out and mechanically. No rust, great condition...Ugly color but I am repainting it in July. Fun little soon to be hot rod- (They finally paved my road!!-YEE HAH-Getting to work used to be an adventure....
1 Speeding ticket @ 17 years old. I was heading to college on I-95, in a Jeep w/4cyl and 4.10 gears and 235/75 tires. State Patrol said I was doing 86 when he clocked me. I told him if he could get it to 86 mph w/o driving off a cliff he could have the vehicle. He did not find this amusing and gave the ticket anyway....14 years later and I still contend that it was not me.....
