The user name thread shows we need this one........I think. I've owned close to 100 vehicles over the years. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of many. I have some old pictures that I should digitize before they completely wash out.
These are the last two. I'll add some more as we go along. 2011 GT500 that I sold last year with 3,300 miles on it. The 1969 Camaro SS with a 502 also went away last year.

My favorite was my 1970 Olds W31. Bought it in 1988 when I was 19 from the original owner with 51,000 miles on it. It was pretty rough but paid $700 and spent a little restoring it. Only reason I sold it was cause I wanted to drag race and didn't want to tear that car up. Ended up with a 1969 Chevelle. Chevelle had 17,000 original miles on it and was an IHRA A-Stock national record holder back in the 70's before I bought it. It was just a plain Malibu but was done up to replicate a COPO 427 car for A-Stock.

Sold theW31 about 1992 and bought the Chevelle right after. Sold the Chevelle about 1997 and bought a '57 Chevy but the W31 and Chevelle were my #1 and #2 cars. Still wish I had that W31 back.

2001 Eclipse. Absolutely the most incredible handling car. Could take a 90 degree turn at insane speed and stick like glue. Make your ears bleed. V6. I loved it, finally gave it up after 12 years. Had Mustangs, Camaros. Nothing compared to that Eclipse.

'69 R code 428 CobraJet- 62K original miles, all original but paint. In storage 32 years before I got it. But kept very much alive.

'69 GT Torino 'vert 351W/4bbl/4speed, my cancer recovery project car. Back from paint in '16 right after surgery. It got me through.

'69 Torino 4dr (yeah, it's a 4dr, I know) One owner, garage kept, 46K miles, I'm the 5th person to ever drive it.

That's a few more of 'em...we have somewhere around 16 or so, lose count.
 
Oh, the White Sportsroof (fastback) in the bkg is a '69 GT Torino, 351C/4bbl/C6/locker, pushing 450HP. You really have to "drive" that one.
 
No pics but near the top of cars I've owned is my 2005 BMW 330ci convertible. The top goes down somewhere in April and stays down until somewhere in October. It's not a racer, just a fun car to drive.

Another near the top is my 1998 Exploder I bought new and still own. It's a V8 model, XLT and we're still driving it when we're in AZ.
