I Can't Believe How Many I have Owned!

I was just thinking about one of my (previously owned) cars the other day. Then, I started remeniscing about some others also. Well, to tell you the truth, I could not remember all the cars I have owned over the last 36 years, so I decided to list them. What better place to do that than right here, in a hub.

The image of the Caddy, (above), is of my current vehicle. It is shown here without the signage on it. (My business).

I will try my best to put them in chronoligical order, but it doesn't matter if I don't. I will try to hunt up pictures of (or similar to) some of them. There would not be enough space to do the lot.

I want to make it clear right from the outset, I am not a collector, nor am I "rich". These were all cars that I owned for various periods of time, sold or traded them, and purchased another one. Some were bought for a project, that was supposed to make me some money,others, simply to drive. And, this is for real. I really did own these cars. (Just in case you are tempted to think I am making it up for the sake of an interesting? hub)

I restored a few to their former glory. Some were not worth it. In just about all cases though I did add some accessories, to enhance appearence, comfort, performance etc.

Some of the things that were done wereas below. This is by no means an exhaustive list.

  • WHEELS (alloy or chrome)
  • CUSTOM PAINT
  • TRIM (custom)
  • STRIPING (and/or graphics)
  • TINT

In most cases, it worked well. In some, "what was I thinking?"

Tell us about you.

Why, "new coat of paint"? Don't the paint jobs already look OK? Or are they the wrong colour?

Thanks for reading/commenting.

And a costly one! I might one day try and work out the actual (well, close as I can) cost. :)

To say you've owned a lot of cars is an understatement.
