My Suburban is a 1990 (old body style).
One week after I had that second rear end installed (because they didn't stand behind the first one), hurricane Floyd came through. A big tree fell down the middle of the Suburban.......... the long way! Had a new top put on, and new paint job (changed color from black to silver). It's a lot cooler, after sitting in the sun all day.

My El Camino is a '67, my Nova is a '71, and my Astro is an '89. I love 'em all!
Of course I take good care of my cars and I bring down legal action on losers who use defective parts on my vehicle... actually, I just do my own repairs :P
The El Camino I just got yesterday off a friend for $1000. It runs nice and it's only got two rust spots. Interior is pretty rough though. It's in better shape than the Nova was and the Nova's got a couple trophies now.
It's an ugly green and the paint is peeling... gonna paint it blue maybe like my dad's Matador.

88 DeTomaso Pantera GT5! Most fun I've ever had with my clothes on till the Wife bought a T40! For the record the Pantera was 2 when I bought it and the Ferrari was new! I actually made money on both of them when I sold them in 96 after the wife died.
Happy Motoring,

crowy,
Mom and Dad had a Volvo back when they had just changed from the round turtle looking things to a nice looking car. I think it was a 69. I had more than a few moments driving it as it was a good handling car but it was scarey fast! In the hands of a good driver it was wicked fun! I remember the night I had to dig it out of about 15' of snow after I went off the road backwards after some fog froze over when the temp dropped like a rock. Glare ice, they call it or black ice! Very fortunately all I went through was snow. No brush or rocks so no scratches or dents. Several other people weren't quite as lucky. One guy backed into a tree going about 60 and caught fire and while we were hastily yanking people out of the burning car some guy came sliding through on his driver's side down and damn near got us all! Caught something on a rock that was probably several hundred feet down into the ground and it spun him off like a top, thankfully away from us. I remember saying to myself just before he snagged that rock, "this ain't right"! I mean to look up in your minds eye and see all you've been through helping get those 4 people out of the burning car and knowing in a fraction of a second you were going to be part of a huge fireball and it was all for nothing!
I've had 2 cars that were my all time favorites for the same reasons, Power balance and handling. They couldn't have been more different. The first was a 65 Corvair Corsa Convertible. It was the first car I ever drove that felt like an extension of myself. It just had the right combination of power and handling to make it fun to drive. Wider tires and lighter rims helped too!
The other was an 89 Fiero GT. This one was put together for some reason with TLC. It was perfect. You didn't get it, you put it on (I'm 5'9"). Another scarey-fast car. Handled magnificently, but if the tires start squeeling at all you better be paying attention. Up to that point it stuck to the road better than any car I've ever owned. The funny part is around town driving it was a rough riding car. I dreaded driving it Cross Country. I was so surprised when I got out on the Interstate with it it was so comfortable. I was knocking down 800 to 900 miles a day and climbing the Rockies to boot! Damn near rolled it in a parking lot. I was tooling down this back lane about 60 and my Daughter tells me to slow down cause there's a little dip up ahead. I drop it to about 40 and all of a sudden it dips to the right and we are airborn! All 4 wheels and it lands on the driver side rear. It was wobbling on the sides of the tires. I could have rolled down the window and kissed the ground. I just got lucky as I turned the wheel to the left hoping that the front tire had some grip and back it came! We just sort of clung to each other for a couple of minutes after everything stopped moving. I don't think that we would have been hurt as that car has the toughest chassis I've ever seen on any car as you are completely surrounded by some pretty hefty steel. Go under a truck with it and most times you're dead. That's it's bad rap because it's so low! Oh yeah, it would now be 18 years old!
Happy Motoring,
theone

Wow, I can understand a couple cars and maybe a hotrod... but regor... what do you do for a living man? Insurance poor? Bullocks... gotta be rich :P
-EDIT-
And, do you got enough SUV's? I counted three there. And they're all similar makes too. Do you really need three SUV's? I think it's time for a Chevy Silverado. It's all the truck you'll ever need. My dad had a '94 Silverado with an extended cab. Even at 6ft 3in I could still fit easily in the back seat.(I'm about 6ft 9in now BTW)
I think it'd be all the truck you'll ever need.

Actually Theonejrs it was a joke intended to raise the neck hair on Auslander... he used to have a pic of a wolf (with blinking eyes) as his siggy with the caption "if only I were half wolf"
I guess things got out of hand... he got rid of that siggy and I'm stuck with day old half and half :)

@ Estuansis - I guess I'm weird that way. I probably don't need all the vehicles but if I didn't own them someone else would :)
Ok so here we go...
Ford F250 is a '91 (bought it to pull my fifth-wheel RV trailer; it will still pull the mountain to Moses :))
Ford Explorer XLT '97 (bought it originally for my wife because she hen-pecked me until I caved in; the good news is that it displaced a Dodge Stealth which I traded in for the Corvette)
Ford Explorer Sport '92 (bought it becuase it was a deal too hard to turn down... $2500 USD for a vehicle in perfect condition with only 38K original miles)
Corvette C5 convertible '98 (bought it because I wanted it. Jet black. Is sitting in my garage with 20K original miles. I drive it on special fun trips to Tahoe or Monterey or San Francisco :))
Harley Davidson Dyna Glide '94 (I bought it because I wanted it; sits next to my corvette and I ride it on weekends, etc.)
and then there is:
BMW 525i '02 (wife) (Bought it for our 25th wedding anniversary; it is silver in color and the color for 25 years marriage is silver -yuk I know but I got kissed :))
Subaru Impreza '05 (youngest son)(Bought it for my son to encourage him to continue his education. I payed the down-payment and he makes the monthly payemnts. Did the same for his siblings when they graduated high school. The down payment lowered the monthly price to $150 and the monthly payments made them feel like they are working for something very nice instead of just getting a great gift. It also helps establish their credit as they make the payments)
How's that for a comment ZCONCEPT?
