How Many cars have you owned? Eight. Somehow... If you asked me this with a gun to my head I’d probably blurt out “three”

First car? Blue Datsun Pickup truck, unknown year

Current car? Miata. Going on 400k!

Favorite car? Volvo twins. Miata in very specific conditions.

Least favorite car? 2008 Subaru Outback

Most expensive car? 2008 Subaru Outback. *sigh*

Least expensive car? 2000 (2001?) Mercury Sable. If you shut the car off, removed the key and opened the door.... You could STILL roll the window up. To this day I haven’t seen that in any other vehicle.

Fastest car? 95 V70 T5 running #alltheboost.

Slowest car? Genuinely unsure. The mercury felt like a rocketship because I was 17ish, the 70 Datsun pickup I only ever drove on a soccer field learning how to spin the tires on the turf (thanks dad!) and the two Rangers both felt speedy-ish with the manuals. But... Uh... Probably the Datsun?

Car with most problems? In it’s defense, my first Volvo wagon gave me a solid 4 trouble free days before exploding.

Next car? Two-wheelied kind, sir.

Car accidents? No at fault, and nothing particularly noteworthy beyond that.

Ever been pulled over? Oh baby. Everytime I drive the Miata over the pass in the middle of a snowstorm with the top down I get stopped by state patrol. They always leave smiling, and mever mention my lack of chains.

Speeding fines? One, at 15 years old. 40mph in a 25 zone with a girl in the front seat before I was allowed to drive passengers. I got out of a second one because—and I quote—”I’m a detective and got stuck working traffic duty, last thing I want is to spend the night doing paperwork kid”

Oh and the cars were, in order:

80(?)'s Datsun Pickup

2001 Mercury Sable

2008 Subaru Outback

1999 Ford Ranger

1995 Mazda Miata

2001 Ford Ranger

1995 Volvo 850 T5

1997 Volvo V70 T5

My first two cars were mid 60s GM cars. You could pull the key out of the ignition with the car running, shift in and out of park with no keys at all, and I’m 99% sure the power windows worked in one of them without keys.  And that car didn’t have seatbelts.

This gets a little silly with a small set of cars, but:

How Many cars have you owned?

3

First car?

1991 Toyota Previa

Current car?

2006 Volvo S60

Favorite car?

2003 Volvo S40

Least favorite car?

2006 Volvo S60

Most expensive car?

2003 Volvo S40

Least expensive car?

1991 Toyota Previa

Fastest car?

2006 Volvo S60 (I think? S40 is the one I’ve gone fastest in)

Slowest car?

1991 Toyota Previa

Car with most problems?

2006 Volvo S60

Next car?

I’ve been craving an AWD wagon, probably a European as recent Outbacks don’t do much for me, even if they do dominate the market for AWD wagons.

Car accidents?

Crushed a Suzuki Samurai with the Previa (no damage to the Previa)

Banged up some guard rails with the S40 (if you are tired when driving, take a nap)

Ever been pulled over?

Pulled over three times.

Speeding fines?

Two tickets:

83/65 (I really doubt I was going that fast, but I was probably going 78, which is in the same penalty block) I think the fine was ~$ 180.

51/30 Quite possibly I was going that fast. Cop wrote it up as 50/30 which kept it in the $114 bracket, would have been $228 with that extra mph.

Kinja'd!!! fintail > mazda616
01/09/2020 at 22:41

Kinja'd!!!1

How Many cars have you owned?

Owned as in registered in my name: 8

First car?

First I drove regularly: 1966 Galaxie 500 2 door HT. First legally owned? Fintail (1964 M-B 220SE)

Current car?

2019 M-B E450 wagon and the Fintail

Favorite car?

Not going to say this and risk cars getting mad at each other. Fintail is definitely a sentimental favorite though, and I am probably happier when driving it than anything else. It’s an old friend as much as anything now.

Least favorite car?

See above. I’ve found many redeeming qualities in all of my cars, or I wouldn’t have bought them. However, the cold-bloodedness of the Galaxie drove me nuts, and the go-kart ride quality of a C43 AMG combined with its rear seat space and annoying engine tick before 60K miles irked me. But all were good looking cars that mostly behaved themselves and created no real ill will.

Most expensive car?

The wagon, by far. I still feel weird about it.

Least expensive car?

Fintail. Galaxie was cheaper, but wasn’t legally mine.

Fastest car?

Wagon is faster on paper than the 2002 E55 AMG I drove for many years. I suspect the E55 might actually be faster though.

Slowest car?

Fintail, although the 1985 Tempo I drove quite a bit as a teen was far slower.

Car with most problems?

Galaxie, as it was cold blooded and stalled a lot, could never cure it. C43 developed a cold engine noise which I feared was something dire (but traded away before I got into it deeper), E55 had a bunch of quirks like vanishing cluster pixels, AC issues, rear sunshade that crapped out etc, but all repaired under warranty. The new cars I have leased have had very minor to no issues.

Next car?

Wagon could be a long term keeper, I don’t know. I am in it until at least late 2021, and not complaining (save for the payment).

Car accidents?

Got in a scrape in the Galaxie when I was careless and 16, was a passenger in a fairly severe crash when I was 20 that messed me up a bit, had a rental car smashed into in Milwaukee in late 2018. Otherwise, nothing more than a couple of curbed wheels and a low bumper scrape on a prior car due to a road hazard that had no warning signs.

Ever been pulled over?

Thrice. Twice in the fintail, I suspect the cops just wanted to see the car, as they feigned ignorance about the year of manufacture plates.

Speeding fines?

On e, about 10 years ago, small town speedtrap, “safety” enforcement, I should have remembered it, so I took responsibility for my own inattention (the speed wasn’t unreasonable, but these places need money any way they can get it). My shiny out of town M-B probably made me low hanging fruit, too.

Favorite car? RX7 or my 2g AWD DSM

Least favorite car? Saturn

Most expensive car? Powerstroke for purchase price. RX7 for money dumped in

Least expensive car? 95 Corolla manual

Fastest car? DSM cause it actually drove, RX7 should be faster when totally complete. Bike is decently quick too

Slowest car? Corolla

Car with most problems? 91 Cherokee

Next car? Probably a newer bike .

Car accidents? Hit and run rear ended, a few deer. .

Ever been pulled over? 3 times .

This will be less exciting than most but:

How Many cars have you owned? 9* (including cars that were owned by parents back in the day and the ones I actually drive since my wife and I each own the others DD legally)

First car? 1986 Dodge Omni

Current car? 2006 Toyota Sienna, 2007 Honda Civic

Favorite car? Tie between a 2004 Civic and the Omni

Least favorite car? 1991 Dodge Caravan

Most expensive car? 2003 Ford Taurus

Least expensive car? 1983 Buick LeSabre

Fastest car? 2004 Honda Civic

Slowest car? 1983 Buick LeSabre

Car with most problems? 1983 Buick LeSabre

Next car? If the ‘07 Civic doesn’t hold up (it’s new to us and low miles), I’d like to get a Mitsu Mirage hatch with a 5-speed unless midlife crisis kicks in in which case it’d one (or more) impractical options

Car accidents? Several. The Omni and Taurus were totalled out from under me by other people not stopping in traffic. At least two other minor fender benders. One not at fault and the other on ice I managed to slide the Omni such that I missed a stopped car only crumpling a plastic bumper corner sideswiped their wheel well. It’s amazes me today that I managed that as it was pure ice skating..

Ever been pulled over? Probably a dozen times or more, the majority more than 15 years ago, though the most recent was in 2018, driving the wife and kids on our first real family vacation. I was following traffic doing 63/55 on country roads. Only avoided a ticket because the trooper kept me and the wife and kids waiting 30-40 minutes because the lead car’s driver may or may not have had a warrant..

Speeding fines? Twice, both were within 6 months of each other in 2005.

Most expensive car? TL

Least expensive car? Fiero (free!)

Fastest car? TL, soon to be GS

Slowest car? Fiero (even if it did run)

Car accidents? Hit by a truck that ran a red light

Ever been pulled over? Twice

Came home from the hospital (after being born) in a 1970 VW B eetle.

Learned to drive on same 1970 VW Beetle.

Met my wife in a 1977 VW Kombi.

Been in several fairly serious accidents with other folks driving, (rolled 90's Ford Taurus sedan (was in back seat, woke up upsidedown...) , Ford Grenada in a ditch, 1984 Ford Mustang swept away in flood waters.) Worst accident I’ve had while driving was hitting a deer in my 1990 Nissan Hardbody.

Fastest car owned - current WRX

Most fun car - 2009 Mazda 3 2.3 5dr hatch manual, not the fastest, but the transmission was spectacular and you could throw it into a corner at 25 over posted and it hunkers down and sticks, the balance was just perfect.

Car driven the fastest - 2016 Impala LT 3.6 on route 66 outside of Winslow, AZ - no comment. (Who knew you could blow past the limiter by sucking draft off big trucks?)

Tickets - yes

C urrent highly illegal/unsafe dream - sub 1 minute run in the new hwy 99 tunnel under Seattle, (it’s totally doable.)

Next vehicle - kinda still looking a compact pickups... miss my old 1990 Hardbody.

Yeah, it wasn’t great. I almost saved it, but there was enough loose gravel on the shoulder that I slid a bit and just hit the start of a guard rail segment with the driver’s side taillight and bumper:

Kinja'd!!!

But that caused the back of the car to kick out and slide across the highway into the other guardrail, which hit much harder:

Kinja'd!!!

More or less like this:

Kinja'd!!!

In any event, I certainly learned my lesson about being willing to take real breaks, even if it means being a few hours late.

I was however completely awake after the crash, no drowsiness at all the rest of the way, though I did have some time to rest while I waited for PA State Police to show up.

It was an incredibly fun car. Just the right size, just enough power for a very novice driver like myself.

Altho I don’t think I’ll get another one, I’d actually rather have an  Eclipse or Talon. The liftback coupe form factor is more appealing to me. Especially because the VR-4 doesn’t even have a fold down rear seat. Altho I have yet to se how much that rear steering really effected the car.

How many cars? 7.

First car? 1980 Pontiac Phoenix.

Current car? 2014 Subaru Outback.

Favorite car? 1999 VW Passat.

Least Favorite car? 1986 (maybe) Chevy Cavalier.

Most expensive car? 2014 Subaru Outback.

Least expensive car? 1980 Pontiac Phoenix.

Fastest car? The Passat.

Slowest car? The Cavalier.

Car with the most problems? The Passat. The lower control arms that were toast at 25K miles. The door locks that failed. And yet, a blast to drive and a trunk that held multitudes.

Next car? No clue. The Outback does everything I need, and has a 2” hitch receiver for the bike racks. 

Car accidents? Spinning the Phoenix on a wet highway and denting nearly every body panel. Stupid rear brakes, recalls never fixed THAT issue. Put one of the Mazda Protégés into a snowy ditch, once.

Ever been pulled over? Three  times. Running a red light, speeding (68 in a 55), and a warning for speeding (thanked my lucky stars the officer did not get our speed...).

Current car? 1990 Mr2 Turbo GT (jdm) 2004 Volvo XC70, 2006 Alfa Romeo GT (and two motorbikes)

Favorite car? MR2 Turbo on a good day. Volvo on every other day.

Least favorite car? 92 Camry wagon. Only cause the poor thing had a rough life and was pretty run down

Most expensive car? Alfa Romeo GT techically, but it was free. So the MR2 Turbo I guess, if I include all the cost over the years.

Least expensive car? 92 Camry wagon, free and I made 2 grand selling it.

Fastest car? MR2 turbo when its running right.

Slowest car? 87 R30 Skyline, because it never ran on all 6 cylinders.

Car with most problems? Tied for first place Skyline and Camry. The camry was just a bucket but the engine was solid. The Skyline had a twisted frame and spiders in the cylinder head .

Next car? When the Alfa is sold I’ll have either an XC60 or BMW 3 series to fix and sell.

Car accidents? once. my first MR2 got rear-ended at great speed and I hurt my head.

This is a bit awkward when you’ve only ever had the one car...

How Many cars have you owned? 1

First car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird H ardtop Coupe

Current car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

Favorite car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

Least favorite car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe (but only when it plays pranks on me such as randomly stalling when I turn right and disconnecting my seat belt at inopportune times )

Most expensive car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

Least expensive car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

Fastest car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

Slowest car? 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe after the v8 decided to become a v7.

Car with most problems? definitely the 1966 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe.

Next car? Who knows! Though I do kinda want a Corvair and/or a wagon...

Car accidents? None so far, but I’ve had some close calls.

Ever been pulled over? Once. I was driving in an unfamiliar area and did not realize I was in a school zone. Everyone around me was going 35, so I thought I was doing what I was supposed to do . But out of all the cars around me that were speeding, the cop picked me, presumably because bright orange ‘66 T-birds don’t exactly blend in. The cop let me go without a ticket, thankfully, but I did learn that day that cops are biased as heck against anything flashy.
