Default RE: LIST the cars you've owned & give a 1-word descriptor ONLY

Lets see, in order of appearance

1969 Corvette 427 L88 Green-Torcan dealer installed heater-sold it, girlfriend kept burning her stockings and legs
1970 Cuda Ragtop 426 Hemi (originally a 383 car I think) folded in half when the traction bar hit a raised sewer grate
1976 Monte Carlo (spent large on this car to make it go-never really did) Rust Never Sleeps
1980 Ram with a 225 slant six-again Rust Never Sleeps
1981 VW Scirroco (this was a fun car) sold it for $2500 bucks
1985 VW Jetta (Yea I went through a pocket rocket phase) Tree fell on it
1986 Mustang GT Convertible (the King of smokin donuts in the parking lot)-still have this one, my oldest son now wants it
1992 Ford Aerostar Sport-what can I say I just had a kid-Rust Never Sleeps, but it did have 450,000 km on the odometer when I sold it for $200.00
1996 Mercedes E320-nice car for the wife-sold it
1997 GMC Suburban K2500 4X4 with a Turbo Deisel-another kid and one more in the oven-if GM built boats that year they all sank, this truck leaked like a sieve-gave it back at lease end
1998 VW Golf Turbo Deisel-900KM to a tank of fuel-gave it-back at lease end
2001 Mercedes E55-great highway road rocket-it took the Germans to start building Muscle Cars again-wife still drives it
2002 Chevy Suburban K1500 4X4, 5.3-great truck I wouldn't trade it for the world-to coin a phrase from the Disney Movie Cars floats like a
Caddy but unfortunately doesn't sting like a Super Bee
2003 Indian Vintage Chief Motorcycle-The Last of the Mohicans (again)

On Order
2006 Shelby Mustang GT500 Convertible-this is the only year that Carrol Shelby will be involved with the car so it should be a keeper
2008 Dodge Challenger-really looking forward to this car
I may have missed 1 or 3 cars in there but they were probably so bad I can't remember them.

For those of us who remember the cars of the late 60's and early 70's, we look back on them with nostalgia and good memories but in reality they were not very good drivers and to put it bluntly they were pieces of crud, so it is with excitement that I look forward to this new breed of Muscle Cars that will Drive as well as they Go
