In order of ownership.
62 Rambler American - Cast-iron flat 6 with push-button automatic tranny
64 VW Squareback - sort of a bettle station wagon
69 VW Bus - Peace, love and flower power! %^}
70 Yamaha 175 DT - Did a bit of backwoods motorcrossing with this baby.
72 Triumph Spitfire - cool convertable but the top got sliced up at a 4 Seasons concert when it was only 4 days old (bummer man).
74 Mazda RX-3 - First widely available rotary engine. "Very" impressive performance for what was basically an econobox.
54 Piper Tri-Pacer - Paid a whopping $6800 back in 75 for this cloth covered, first tricycle geared, aircraft (and "yes" it was red/white). Had to sell it when I enlisted.
59 Dodge Coronet - Flat 6 with 3 on column. What a dog! 4600 lbs of car with only a 6 banger. I only paid $250 and really, really wish I'd kept this one. It was ordered from the factory with the 6, which for this car, is just unheard of.
73 Triumph GT-6 - What can I say. I'm a glutton for punishment! You other English car owners know what I mean. ;^>
79 Renault R5 - Owned this one while stationed in Germany. It's the European version of the Le Car and had an H-pattern stick shift coming out of the dash!!
79 Porsche 924 - Cheap to buy but Ex-pen-sive to own!!
83 Celica Surpra - This was a few years before it became it's own model.
88 Celica All-Trac Turbo - First widely available full-time all-wheel drive sports car.
98 Durango SLT (love this one!)
