'73 Ford Pinto station wagon. I beat the shit out of that car. Overheated the engine and retired it.
'80 Plymouth Champ. Lost the clutch and couldn't afford in those days to fix it right. We needed cash, sold it for far less than what it was worth.
'79 Chevy Chevette. Came with the wife. We would alternate driving this and the Champ depending on which one cost less to fix at the time. It got sold with the Champ.
'86 Dodge Aries. Heaping pile of shit this thing was. But we kept it on the road from '87 until '93. It had four doors and served us well enough with three small boys.
'88 Dodge Ram 50. Good little truck. Kept it untill '95. Wish I still had it.
'93 Ford Aerostar minivan. Traded the Aries in on this. Not too sexy, but a good wagon. Served us well until '99.
'95 Ford Probe. Not a bad little car. Being an adult and maintaining it and driving like an adult it lasted me until '07. It needed some minor engine work when I traded it in, but it was still in very good condition.
'99 Ford Expedition. I still have this vehicle and it is going strong. I wouldn't hesitate to take it cross country if needed. As it seats eight we use it often for taking the whole family out.
'99 Ford Ranger. This is what the boys drove while they were home before they bought their own vehicles. Two of the boys wrecked it and the third was equally hard on it. I still have it though and it is my daily driver.
'06 Mazda RX8 Shinka. Mostly a weekend driver. I'll keep this car for a long time as I have the previous two vehicles.
