When I was 16 I got my hands on my 98 XJ. About 3 weeks before my 19th birthday i bought a 2003 Buick Century with 40k miles on it. Currently in College and driving the Buick everyday but the jeep is still sitting in my driveway, fluids empty, battery disconnected, and not going anywhere.. I do admit i miss driving the jeep every time i see it

I've had a couple vehicles in my lifetime. One when i was too young to drive. In order... 1973 Plymouth Duster (Stock) , 1997 Jeep Cherokee (Still Own To This Day, Named Bonedeth), 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country, 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport, 2008 Toyota Tacoma. I've had my fair share and id love to still have the '94 and '96 to compliment my '97 . I've also owned two parts Cherokees a '94 and a '93. My Brother has owned an '87 Cherokee, '91 Sport, My '97 & '94 prior to me, and is currently driving a 2000 you could eat off of underneath. He is extremely picky and does not like the newer then '97's and is looking for a mint '96 or older as i type this.

Lets see

1970s Toyota Station Wagon with an inline 6:
Didn't have it long but it was a great little car while it ran, but would vapor lock and die for no reason.

1980 Jeep J10:
Didn't have this one long either. It was my fathers new truck that he bought in the fall of 1980. He was killed the spring of 1981 when a train hit the emergency van he and 5 other firemen were in while on the way to a fire. I was left the Jeep, but my mother had a hard time seeing it in the driveway everyday when she came home so she asked me to sell it and get something else.

1970 Cutlass Supreme:
This was the replacement for the Jeep and had a 455 Rocket. I only had this one for a short time too, it was totaled just over 6 months after I got it when a drunk driver rear ended me while I was sitting on the shoulder with the 4 ways on.

1980 Camaro RS:
The replacement for the Cutlass. Body styling was a bit of an upgrade but it was gutless, it only had a 267 in it. I drove it that way for just over a year then stuck a 327 in it and started having fun. I had a bit too much fun with it and blew it up, and since I had put all my money into the motor I had none left to replace it when it blew up.

1985 Dodge 2.2 Charger:
A big step down from the Olds and Camaro, but it got me from point A to B with relatively few problems. Well the shift linkage would come apart from time to time, and would pop out of gear if you hit a large enough bump while on cruise. First time that happened was an eye opener

1973 Plymouth 'Cuda 340:
Never got this one on the road It was a true 340 2 core block and not a pumped up 318 that many of the 73 340s came with. I picked it up with the intent of restoring it, but when I cut out the rusted trunk floor I found the rusted frame. The restoration was put on hold and I ran into hard times and had to sell it. The biggest selling point was that 2 core 340. The guy that bought it turned it into a drag car, pulled the motor, stuffed a hemi in it, and back halfed the car to fix the frame rot. He still had the 340 sitting in his shop as of last year. He is looking for a nice clean affordable Duster or 68 Cuda to drop it in.. Maybe I should go offer him some cash for the 340 and drop it in my XJ

1992 Dodge Stealth R/T:
Don't get excited it is just the FWD non turbo version of the R/T. I went a long time without a car. I move to Winnipeg Manitoba and lived a block from where I worked and the grocery store and I just couldn't justify the cost of a vehicle I would barely ever use. When I moved back to small town Ontario 4 years ago I needed a car again and stumbled onto the R/T. The owner was going to scrap it because it had a blown ECU and they didn't want to put any more money into it. Body wise it was in OK condition, but because it wouldn't start I had no idea of its condition mechanically. They asked $2000 for it, I countered with $500. They accepted my offer and I had a nonfunctional project on my hands. After a year of spending money on parts and lots of cold days working on it I finally got it road worthy last summer. It is currently sitting in my brothers barn for the winter and I don't know if I will put it back on the road this spring. I will never sell it, but it is 23 years old and the body is showing the dents and dings accumulated over those 23 years. This was my affordable dream car from that period, almost bought one back in 92 new off the dealership floor. All I had left to do was sign the loan papers, but I got laid off the day before I signed on the dotted line. With any luck I will get to work on the body, paint, and interior this spring and have it done for the summer of 2016.

1998 Jeep XJ Sport:
Actually my second Jeep, but because I only had the J10 for a few months I consider it my first. With owning a Stealth and living in the salt belt of Canada, I needed a winter vehicle. Being a cheap SOB I wanted to kill two birds with one stone. I always liked Cherokees and thought it would be a great winter and summer adventure vehicle. I was right, and I love it more and more each time I drive it. I picked it up for a song too, all of $400 because it sounded like it had a blown motor when I started it up. I offered scrap rate for it so I wouldn't loose any money if it was beyond what I could fix. Turned out the noise was just a cracked flex plate. It had a lot of rust damage, needed a complete exhaust and brakes, but it has still cost me less than what the Stealth did to make it road worthy. I ended up having to replace the transmission because I broke off the threaded part of the manual shift valve shaft and couldn't buy the part any where. The transmission I got had fewer miles on it too. Also had to replace the TCM to clear up a CEL and replace the tires that came with it because even though they looked good they were the worst tires I have ever had.
