3rd car - 1980 Chevette (camaro replacement, drove into ground where it belonged, it was free)
4 - 1981 Buick Regal (72 Chevy 350 already dropped in, totalled it in an ice storm, kinda a POS)

11 - 1992 Camaro RS
12 - 1987 Monte Carlo SS
13 - 1989 Mustang LX 5.0
14 - 1999 Grand Am GT
15 - 2004 Pontiac GTO (bought brand new, still have today)
16 - 1989 Ford Probe
17 - 1994 Tbird LX
18 - 2002 Grand Prix GT (traded in for....)
19 - 2004 GMC Yukon SLT (still have)
20 - 1998 Ford Explorer (wife's)
21 - 1999 Cavalier Z24 (wife's)
22 - 2000 Nissan Altima
23 - 2003 Cadillac CTS
24 - 2003 Crown Vic LX Sport
25 - 2001 Grand Prix GTP (current daily driver)

Yeah, I've had a ton of cars... bought some real pieces of crap, some I just should have never bought but thought I could make em right and some I regret selling or trading in. The RX7 was a cool car but a 2 seater wore thin since I had a GF with her kid at the time... I miss the 92 Camaro RS... if I had that today it would be a LSx 6 speed car with all of the goodies... The Crown Vic was a great car especially with the bucket seats and floor shifter... I regretably sold it because I couldn't do better than 22 MPG no matter how I babied it. I regret trading in the Grand Am GT for the GTO. I should have just kept it and paid it off. The GTO was never meant to be a daily driver and because the grand am had low miles, I probably would still have it today and not have bought a few of the cars I did... such as life... I am a car guy and if I had the means, I would own a few more. The Tbird turbo coupes and supercoupes were cool but I didn't have enough knowledge at the time to fix them myself. I would buy another SuperCoupe today if it was the right one at the right price. Man if I could go back in time and change a few things, I would have owned a 1987 Buick Grand National, a 1996 Impala SS, or possibly 2002 WS6. I did jump when the time was right for the GTO, so I guess I did something right... LOL

1982 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham

2008 Grand Prix GXP

and...

2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

Due to the V the GXP is for sale. It's posted all over. Fresh TEP Stg 1, exhaust, CAI, Lew Tune. I'm gonna miss it when it's gone but hey...I picked a good replacement...

Alright

75 Chevy Monza (ripped that b!tch in 2 pieces)
85 Bronco II (really long story on this one, but eventually sold it)
87 Dodge Shadow (bought it for $100, made it drivable, drove the **** out of it, sold it to a kid who needed a car)
87 Mustang (bought it for $700, hit a triaxle at 60mph, fixed it, then sold it for $700 to a guy my dad worked with)
93 Mitsubishi Eclipse (bought it for $2500, sold it for $1800 a year later to my brother)
94 Dodge Stealth (bought in 02, still own it to this day, but it is parked in my yard and hasn't been on the road in 4 years)
93 Talon TSI (bought it with all kinds of mods for $2000, lots of stupid stuff later I sold it not running for $2000)
07 Grand Prix GT (... duh)

There are also about 7 other 3000GT's and Stealths that I have "owned" over the years for purposes of just parting them out, but I don't feel they really need to be on the list. I really wish I still had the Monza and the Bronco II and probably the Talon. I put a lot of money and work into the Bronco, which go along with the long ass story about my ownership of it. I wish I could find it and buy it back.

The Talon was one of the cleanest examples you could find of a DSM, especially in this area. It was also stupid fast, but I shouldn't have relied on it for a daily driver simply because of all the mods. I wish I would have figured the not running issue out and just kept it, but in the end the money I sold it for helped pay off some bills.

In the end, my list isn't that long for someone who has been driving for over 17 years. My cousin, who is 7 yeas younger than me has owned probably 4 times the amount of cars I own. He has probably paid more in sales tax on his auto purchases than I paid for the Grand Prix. LOL

There are a couple that I forgot to mention... I had a a 1986 Mustang GT somewhere in between the turbo coupes I owned and my wife bought a 99 Cavalier Z24 brand new... that was a fun car with the 5 speed. I could have bought a brand new 99 Eclipse GST but the timing was no good. Salesman was talking me up good and I don't even know why I was looking to begin with.... I think I missed out on that one.

All right here goes... in order I acquired them

1995 Buick LeSabre (gave to Dad 2007, he sold in 2014)
2000 Toyota Echo (40 mpg... sold 2012)
2007 Toyota Prius (50 mpg... still driving it)
1999 Grand Prix GTP (the 3.5 pulley 1.9 rocker car with a 2x4 in the strut tower, sold 2014)
1999 Grand Prix GTP (flipped for a profit)
1998 Olds Intrigue (got it for $400, drove it for a week, sold for $1000... best $400 car ever)
2000 Grand Prix GTP (still have it)
2004 Buick LeSabre (now Dad's new ride)
2000 Buick Regal GS (flipped for a profit)

Lots of 3800's in the past year mean lots of intake gaskets and coolant elbows. Surprisingly I haven't had a wheel bearing go bad on any W-body yet. Lucky me.

And now I'm looking at cars on Craigslist again

Keep in mind I'm only 19 and have NEVER EVER had ANY help from parents, family, etc. They have always told me if you want nice things then you go work for them!
