previous cars?

[KUZMIN]

I was just curious to see what kind of rides people have had and what they did with them.
Mine are as follows:
197x XA Fairmont-4.9L auto,LSD (stolen the day I got it, later found stripped)

1975 Datsun 120Y coupe - 1.2L 5spd manual (wrecked hitting a tree)

1982 Ford XE Falcon wagon- 4.1L auto (snapped crank and crushed)

1983 Mitsubishi Sigma- 2.6L auto (stripped and sold in parts)

1978 Holden HZ Kingswood- 5.7L auto(stripped, and sold in parts)

1963 Pontiac Laurentian- 5.0L (still own)

1968 Ford Mustang-No motor or box (sold for tripple what it owed me)

1987 Holden VL Commodore- 3.0L auto (blew motor and later sold for 4times more than what I paid for it).

1990 Holden VN Commodore- 3.8L auto (wrecked hitting a pole)

1973 Ford XB Sedan GS clone- 4.1L auto (sold)

1976 Ford Cortina- 2.0L auto with LSD (seezed motor and later sold)

1992 Ford EB Falcon- 4.0L auto (sold)

1984 Ford XE Falcon wagon- 4.1L auto (blew box, partly stripped and
crushed)

1984 Ford XE Fairmont Ghia- 5.8L auto with LSD (sold)

1996 Ford EF Falcon- 4.0L auto (seezed motor and later sold)

1984 Ford FD LTD- 4.1L auto with LSD (Motor stopped running due to air
induction, so later sold)

1982 Ford Laser- 1.3 5spd manual (left on side of hwy as was done for driving unregistered)

1990 Mercedes Benz 230E coupe-3.0L auto with LSD, 8psi turbo, over 300kw motor that did an easy 12.6seconds down the 1/4mile! (sold)

1989 Ford EA Falcon S- 3.9L 5spd manual with LSD, 1 of 5 made (Sold)

1989 Ford EA Fairmont- 3.9L auto with LSD (sold)

1982 Ford XE Falcon- 4.1L auto (broken down and left on side of road)

1996 Nissan Maxima- 3.0L auto (currently own however paying off)

I think Ive had a very nice collection of cars for a person who is 20 years old.
Not to mention I have owned 3 mustangs (2 1965 fastbacks and a 69 boss) in the states, but was offered more money for them before saved money to ship them here so sold em all (kick my self in the ***..so, so hard!!)

so what kind have YOU had?

I'm a panelbeater,they sort of gravitate towards me.I bought the gt's before they went up,the ghia for the missus for a toy,the utes the workhorse,but being freshened up atm,the xr8 was my runaround,but I've bought a 351 zk on gas so the xr is now for sale,the focus I bought for the missus for a daily,and I'm still deciding wether to now sell the outback (was her daily).

Most of the cars where mine and gone within a few months,most of the later ones (on the list)I've made a little on.There are only a few I've kept any longer,I had the gts (skyline)for about 2 years,same with the xe 351,might of had the cordia for a year.
