Thread: How many cars ahve you owned? How many VW's?

  1. 10-13-2005 06:00 AM #1
    EDIT I see some of the picture links are broken, and I needed to add a couple cars tot he list. I'll try and fix the pic links and update the others with pics soon.

    I buy cars quite often. If i see a good deal I grab it and sell it, or drive it for a while, then sell it.

    I've owned 7 cars, 9 motorcycles, and 1 tent trailer.

    Of those 97 cars, 43 have been vw's


    It's a sickness, I know

    1997 My jetta.. first and only car so far. I plan to keep her forever, i have no desire for any other car. It's the only body style VW, aside from a mk1 jetta that really does anything for me.

    I lost track at 65 VWs - I used to buy them cheap, drive them for a while and sell 'em for a profit. Of course those days are gone - believe it or not, people used to let me haul them out of their way for free!!! I have a huge selection of VW toys though - my kids counted 90 different ones Uh - yea, Id say I'm a little obsessed LOL

    OH I've also owned 2 Camaros, 2 MGBs, A dodge Dart and assorted other "beaters".

    84 Buick Skylark- hey, it was free
    72 Beetle- saw it for sale on a farm in SD. It was clean; Old Boy said he picked it up in CA.
    85 Mercury Cougar- bought it to be my winter car, because it was too cold in MN to drive a Beetle year round. However, Cougars with fatties on the rear rims don't go anywhere in a MN winter.
    91 Toyota Celica- to replace the Beetle and Cougar. Best car I ever owned; should never have sold her at 200,000 miles.
    01 Golf- I still own the bugger (100,000 miles), and it's in the shop all the time. I miss the Toyota.
    04 Honda Civic EX- What I drive when the Golf is broken, or most of the time. It's no 91 Celica.

    So, two VWs. They both seemed a lot better than what they ended up being.

    I've had 53 cars...

    My present car is my 2nd VW. My very first car was a 90 rabbit 4dr. That car was in the shop every other week.

    Yeah. Heard the 90 Rabbits were problematic. Suffered from constant spark-plug bearing failure and leaky blinker fluid seals

    I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...
