What other cars have YOU owned?!

I was recently describing all of the POS cars that I've owned to a friend and I realized that the list is bigger than I had imagined.

1985 Honda Accord (never got to drive it, junked)
1987 Chrysler New Yorker (giant POS, great seats, sold)
1994 Dodge Shadow (stolen, totalled, blown up, junked)
1985 Volkswagen Scirocco (lightweight european exotic, anyone? POS, sold)
1995 Hyundai Accent (flat out embarrassing, gave it away)
1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (looked awesome, but ran poorly, sold)
1999 Saturn SC2 (all in all, not a bad car)
1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Sedan (loved it, but I broke it, sold)
1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (got for free, sold for lots of money)
2004 Chevrolet Cavalier (quick, reliable, fun, sold)
1994 Chevrolet Blazer LT Tahoe (started project, never finished, junked)
1987 Chevrolet V-10 (lifted redneck truck, not my thing, sold)
1989 Chevrolet S-10 Durango (junked it 2 days after I got it)
1989 Toyota Camry V6 (totalled it while street racing, me = dumbass)
2001 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe (lots of miles, no problems, sold)
1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S (lots of fun with this POS, junked)
1994 Chevrolet Blazer LT Tahoe (not even worth my time, gave it away)
1994 Pontiac Sunbird LE Coupe (trunk was rotted out, sold)
1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4WD (this POS is just about sold)
1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Sedan (not bad at all for a $200 car)

That's not all of them, just the one's I can remember.

Hmmm....maybe I should stop buying POS used GMs.

What other cars have you owned?

I'll play....
77 Chevy Chevette waggon. Pulled the slack on throttle cable and ripped around town. My version of V-Tec for chevvy.
69 Mustang couple. One thing broke per week, sold it to an unsuspecting australian
69 Mach 1 sportsroof. spent way too much Moola, sold if for peanuts so I culd buy my first Grand Prix and get me some in a new car.
95 Grand Prix SE. Dayum the car looked good back then. Totalled it when slammed into center divider on freeway.
99 green GTP, it was love at first sight at the dealer. It had me at Vroom Vroom. Blew the motor, currently rebuilding
70 Mach 1 Mustang, its a shell project car that now I'm trying to sell
69 Mach 1 Mustang, she's soo pretty and has A/C. Love the attention.
97 white GTP, the temporary stand-in that became my louvered joy.
70 Mach 1 restomod beast. Why hondas still rev on me is amazing!
What can I say, I keep buying Mustangs and Grand Prix's for some reason.
Must be part of my disfunctional upbringing.

My first car at age 16 was a 1981 Buick Riviera.....

I bought it for $900 with a 5.0L 307 v8 FWD. It had 2 broken front engine mounts, and every time you stepped the gas too hard, the engine would kick up and the fan would hit the shroud. Fixed it and the car ran for 2 years with out any major problems besides the power steering failing to keep up with my driving. Power everthing, blaupunkt cd player, super comfortable seats, ashtrays all around....but the ther sunroof was removed and there was a stainless steel roof put on the car and a giant mirror was installed on the ceiling. This was a very sweet riding car once i got an exhaust and tune up done. The trans loved neutral drops like plants love rain....Then I broke it and let it sit for the winter and picked up

a 1980-90's 3.8L mercury cougar broke it, junked it...went to college, came back and found

THE 1997 Buick Riviera drove it for about 11,000 miles and blew it up, and cracked the block and grenaded the piston. A few months later I picked up

A 2006 Monte Carlo 3.9L (worst car ever!!!!!) got me into so much trouble but I beat the living piss out of that car and learned all kinds of important tuning experience from changing everything in that car. Thats why when I broke stuff and brought it to the dealership....they had no clue how it happened. (I would flash the computer before returning it.)

The Monte is gone, I had to junk the 81' Riv because I had no Place to put it and no money to put into it, But I will be getting another one in the future...That was a land yacht If Ive ever driven one. And of course theres the Riv I have now.....
