I figured I'd jump in on all of the threads...

Cars (first to last)

75 Olds Omega (Inline 6 and gutless - died of electrical problems) 79 Buick Skylark (V6 and 22 MPG - same body as the Olds. great car - sold for $100 - well worth it) 84 Buick Century (Turd car from Mom - never changed the oil in 40K miles - died w/ like 100K miles) 87 Acura Legend (First car out of college -- excellent car - Ran like new with 180K) 93 BMW 525iT - Current car, great driver, good mileage, NICE brakes 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Wife's car - crappy gas mileage and sketchy build quality - if it were Japanese I'd love it. 89 VW Westy - Bought in 2000 with 12,000 original miles!!!! The travel machine. Now has about 30K miles

Bikes (first to last) 70's mini bike - harassed the neighborhood with this beast 89 Honda NX250 - great engine, horrible bike 86 Honda XR600 - great engine, great bike, terrible rear brake - street legal 93 Husqvarna 600 - Great engine, BEAUTIFUL bike, got tired of expense parts - street legal 99 ATK 604 - Worked for them for a while...had one 99 Triumph Tiger - Great engine, mediocre seat, fun canyon bike 01 Suzuki DRZ400 - Street legal, works for me for desert, motocross and everything else

Lot's of stories.......
