I have had a crapton in the 18 years I've been driving. This is in the order I got them. Some were winter beaters. I think I'm done for a while. No plans to sell the Camaro, just got the 12 Civic, the S-10 is a total beater for on the property, the big truck is for towing and the 89 was my dads car he got new so I'll never sell it. Wife wants a toy next so that will probably be #29 in a few years...

1. 86 Cavalier station wagon, robin's egg blue. Tried to blow this up. Was given to me by my grandpa. Had it about 3 months, HATED IT. Mom bought a new car and gave me #2.

2. 86 Celica GT, silver with a sunroof... I liked this car! BUT I had Camaro fever so I got #3 but hung on to this car too, just stashed it in the neighbors garage.

3. 85 Camaro Berlinetta, ugly burnt orange, ttops, 305 with the crazy spaceship dash. Wasn't too fond of this car so decided to put it and the Celica up for sale and keep whatever didn't sell. Celica sold first day :( Sold Camaro too. Went back to #1 which I had given back to my grandpa...

3.1 86 Cavalier station wagon, robin's egg blue. Tried to blow this up... again. Was given to me by my grandpa... again Bent the rear end all out of whack so. Bought #4. I was a senior in high school now.

4. 87 Cavalier RS, navy blue. I really liked this one. Had rallye wheels, a sunroof... I really enjoyed this car. Gave my mom this car as her lease was up on her Grand Am so I got #5:

5. 88 Cavalier RS, red with a sunroof... I had this for a while, maybe a year and a half. Was making good money (for a college kid) so I got #6 slightly used.

6. 94 Eclipse GS, red 5 speed, sweet car. Had chrome 16" (hey that was big in 1996) wheels. Loved this car had it 2 winters... third summer I made the mistake of driving a friends Talon TSi...

7. 80ish Chevette - winter beater #1.

8. 86 Z24 - winter beater #2.

9. 95 Eagle Talon TSi, black 5 speed, bought it from a nurse. Pretty high mileage. Had it about 3 months when I got a job commuting about 45 miles each way but WAY more money so I bought my first new car...

10. 98 Integra GS, maroon 5 speed, first car with leather. I was a junior in college, kept this car till I graduated and moved, about a year and a half and got #11.

11. 99 Protege, white 5 speed... don't ask... I have no idea why. Needed something fun so i got #12 (kept 11 too)

12. 91 Miata, silver 5 speed... blew it up, twice. :( parted it out second time... Got sick of #11 fast, traded it for #13.

13. 00 Z24, green with tan interior, A4. I liked it, was my second new car. Kept it for a while and bought #14 as a "toy"

14. 99 Eclipse Spyder GSt... WHOA, FAST! black tan top, 5 speed... awesome car but a few weeks later my mom gave me #15

15. 98 Grand Cherokee Laredo, red V8 AWD... so now I have 3 cars... Needed to reduce so I traded #13 and #14 (which I only had for 7 weeks) on #16.

16. 00 Corvette, yellow M6... fun stuff! Jeep was having problems so I sold it and got #17 as a winter car.

17. 95ish Sentra... when the Corvette got old (never buy yellow) I decided I wanted something I could drive year round so I sold the Sentra and traded the Corvette for #18...

18. 04 RX8, black M6... I was bambozzled by the dealer. NO WAY IN HELL can you drive this in the winter. 700 miles on it and i put it into a curb. WTF! Broke a wheel and stuff... So my grandpa who was in no condition to be driving at this point gave me #19 (it only had 30,000 miles on it in 2004)

19. 91 Camry, silver. drove it for a while then got the bug up my ass I had ot have a Jeep Wrangler so i got #20

20. 92 Wrangler, black 4.0 auto... used for off roading and playing around... RX8 got wreck (as I was sleeping a moving van hit it) so i got #21

21. 07 Corvette, black M6... wanted an old car so I got #22

22. 67 Camaro... gave up on this project and sold it. Wanted a 3rd gen so i tracked down the car my dad had new in 89 and found it so I got #23.

23. 89 Camaro - still have. Lots of history behind this car. I remember growing up with this car! Wanted the new Camaro so I sold the 2007 Corvette and got #24

24. 10 Camaro - still have. Needed a farm truck so i paid $700 for #25

25. 91 S-10 - still have

Plus my wife:

26. 98 Civic, was her first car, kept for 14 years and 255,000 miles before selling and getting #28.

27. 06 Ram 2500 - still have, wife bought this out of college to pull her horse trailer.

28. 12 Civic - still have

I think that's all.
