Wanna bet?

Can't find mine for some reason...oh well.

Sorry.

In all seriousness, my condolences to all involved.

I realized that I did not include a 1984 Monte Carlo that I very briefly owned which would have increased my total enough to tie Doug. **Cough** 150hp **Cough**

Hahaha, Sorry to hear it was stolen. Somebody found it on Craigslist, if you want it back.

I forgot to circle back to the post and figure my numbers out. I suck.

I just estimated it without looking up the HP figures for the cars I owned years ago. I think I could have been in second place. I estimated 2800 HP. Average of 220 though, which isn't close to 2nd place .

Man Doug has had a lot of cars. And a ton of high power cars to average nearly 300HP!

I'd just like to point out that my loss - close to half as much as the next lowest guy - was pretty spectacular too.

My two cars combined aren't even one good car. Ouch! 92 hp Ford Tempo plus 116 hp Cavalier with the 5 spd. I knew my Cavalier was faster than my Tempo.

But I didn't actually post anything. I accidently hit reply to you and then hit cancel... so I guess its a different type of kinja.

Honestly, I think Opponauts are younger in general. Plenty of high school and college kids... I post on west coast time when most of the east coast is getting ready for bed... but, otherwise, congrats!

Well we have 40+ cars in the collection with a few race cars so the figure would be pretty high. We have a huge Volvo military truck that would have a considerable amount of HP as well, but its quite slow.

Wow with only two cars I have a pretty high average horsepower rating, suddenly I feel like a bad ass

Hmm, I somehow missed this. Would have come in second with the current cars. Go back 3 years and I'd be over 3500. A fun mental exercise to say the least.

Man, I'm too lazy. I'm on vehicle #27, about half of them trucks, about another half of the 27 modified. Highest HP vehicle, 400hp, lowest, 67. Totalish 5700hp, rough average comes to 211/vehicle. Man those 70s/80 V8s were dogs.

I totally missed this. D'oh. Here's my "me too." Boy, did I piss away a lot of money on cars.

1986 Buick LeSabre 150

1996 Mustang V6 150

1995 Corvette 300

1958 Corvette 200

1997 A8 300

That's 3315, and we can bonus some more if we include hangars and spouses.

This is all stuff I drove. This doesn't include cars that my wife drives. We'd have to add in

2005 Volvo XC 90, 2004 Touareg, 2003 Audi Allroad, 2006 Honda Odyssey. I'm not including those for various reasons :D

1969 Grumman Yankee 115 horsepower [ I don't think airplanes count ]

(He gets to the 106 at the end, but everything - minus his issues with the gearbox - he says about the Citroen applies to it, too.)

I try, but I'm not quite as nuts as the rally guy. It's a brilliantly chuckable little car though - it, and its mechanically identical twin, the Citroen Saxo, were the best handling cars in their class - and the tiny engine means you can spend most of your time with your foot up against the firewall. It only weighs 1631 lbs, too, so even with just 59 horses it's not the slowest thing on the road.

I like it enough that, for my next car, I'm planning to just buy a more powerful version of what I've already got.
