so you bought a car for 5400 then sold it for 1500 with only 10 days of driving it.. wow that sucks lol

They said the same thing Richard, but I had access to my Dad's 78 Powerwagon with an 8' Fisher on it and 3 of our single screw Dump trucks had 12 foot plows and the twin screw had a 13 ' V plow. I made a lot of money plowing needless to say, but I didn't want to tear up the new Bronco LOL.



Ah! Well in that case, good choice!

Us old fellers have long lists.  I started out with a 48 Chevy 2door that my dad helped me buy.  Shiny black.  Did my first brake job on it.  Traded for a 55 Chevy.    Hated it!  This was before they were considered "classics" and that car did terrible things to me.  Broke a heater hose one Sunday morning on the way to church and puked antifreeze all over me and my lady.  Got rid of it and went foreign.  Jumped into a 59 Austin Healy Sprite that was a gas to drive - - - flat out all the time just to keep up with traffic.  Then to a 61 Sunbeam Alpine with detachable hard top - lovely little car.  Then to a 64 Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale - - - rare car that was so pretty it brought tears to your eyes.  Restored it and won trophies at concours d elegance shows.  It made the most beautiful sounds and the 5 speed (one of the first available I think) was a delight.  1965 Mustang notchback - deep metallic green with saddle tan interior - 289 - was the first new car I ever bought.  Loved it.  Then to a 73 Pinto wagon and say what you will about Pintos - it was a great little car.  Dependable and practical and I really liked it.  Somewhere along the way picked up a 1936 Chevy half-ton pickup that I restored - my only experience with an antique and it was very very fun.  All original and a trophy winner.  Went to a 92 Subaru Loyale wagon that is much like the Pinto - totally reliable and practical and dependable.  It's now my wife's car and she loves it still.  About 4 years ago got my 92 Mazda B2600i 4x4 pickup with the extra cab.  100,000 miles on it when I got it but running good and looking great, but not real good in the mileage department.  I love the truck - it's my daily driver.
Wife is talking about when I retire trading it and the Subaru in on another Subaru but I don't know - we'll see when the time comes,

Nice list, Rolomac.  I'm impressed.
I've always loved the "Bugeye" Sprites too. But your right, the original 998 wasn't to be feared.  In the late '70's/early '80's I worked in a shop.  We had one, an 1100 supercharged conversion.  That one moved pretty well.
The Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger is also a favorite of mine.
