Your definition of cool may be different than mine. Back in the '80's, I was in the Army, had four children born when I was in, all at different locations, and I needed a large enough vehicle to transport them in. Back then, conversion vans were "cool". We couldn't afford a full size one on Army pay, so we settled on a Ford Aerostar conversion van. It had two captain's chairs in the back, two in the front, and a fold down seat in the rear that turned into a bed. It had a table, tinted windows, blinds, curtains, a TV and a VCR. I'd have to look through a bunch of photo albums to find pictures of it.

In 42 years, I have owned hundreds of cars. I stopped keeping track a long time ago. In fact, my wife suggested I not own the same make and model of vehicle that I have already owned. It started getting difficult since there are several that I am addicted to. My current fleet includes:

1931 Ford Model A Slant Window Fordor Deluxe (160B)

  • 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC

    I don't have any pictures of the 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300D or the Datsun 510 (ex-Trans Am race car).

    My daily driver is a Willow Green 1996 Land Rover Discovery SE7.

    Coolest cars in my past include 356 Porsches, an Alpina B7S sedan (E12 or 1st generation 5-series; 1 of 60 built), a European Car magazine project car called the Barnyard Bimmer (another E12 that looked like an M535i), over 40 examples of the BMW 02-series (including an Alpina A4S clone and a full cabriolet 1600), too many British sports cars to name, Rolls Royce Silver Spirit (celebrity original owner), lots of micro cars (Isetta, BMW 600, Messerschmitt, Vespa, etc.), a few Japanese rarities including one of the first 240Zs brought into the country as well as several Nissan Patrols, and a few motorcycles (BMW K1, Earles fork BMW R69S, etc.).

I'm selling my white '91 Miata. Where'd you sell yours? I would have put a hitch on mine but I always had a truck.

It was crank walking so I took $1k on trade at a dealer when I got the abarth lol

Fb marketplace is my go-to to buy and sell bikes and stuff though.

Had many, first vehicle was a 66 Chevrolet Impala SS, bad choice for a 1st car. I kick my 17 year old self daily for getting rid of it.

In the late 90's I ventured into sport trucks, starting with a 99 Dakota RT, then a 2000 Dakota RT picked below.

Was in a dead spell of the sport truck until 2004 when I picked up a Rumble Bee. Heavily modified it, prototype Shaker Hood, full Hotckis suspension, and any more modifications. Also pictured below.

Had to sell that when I became a father...

Went to boring vehicles until I got my Maverick.

Lol, I’m 73 and I’ve got more cars , motorcycles than I can possibly drive and ride. Plus Storage and my kids don’t want old cars. I found someone who will cherish the car so I sold it to him. I bought it from the original owner who told me they only used it for Sunday church. It had the original tires, manual and the interior was mint. It was a blast to drive to car runs but my times running out

My daily driver bought new is a 2001 Mustang. Looking to retire that car once the MY23 in is the driveway.

I'm only about 3 years behind you. We have our two daily drivers, a 2014 Wrangler I use as a spare vehicle and winter plow truck, a 1968 big-block Cougar, and a '93 Lightning. I'm just starting to think about when it will be time to thin the herd. My wife and I are both in good health so we can (and do) drive the cars with no problem. The trick is to figure out the right time to let them go.
