I Think I have a Disease...

**danziger** · 11-23-2007, 01:58 AM

Between myself and my wife, we have had seven (7!!) vehicles in the driveway/garage at one point. I've thinned the herd down to five, but always end up on forum classifieds, Craiglist and EBay wringing my hands thinking about another vehicle. Does anyone else have this problem? I think I need help...

Here's a partial list of some of my notable vehicles in no particular order:

1970 Dodge Challenger worked 440
1989 Pontiac Formula WS6
1971 Ford Torino Boss 302 transplant
1986 Grand National T-tops (stolen)
1992 Ford Mustang GT bolt-ons
1995 Honda CBR900RR
1973 Ford Torino 351 Cleveland
1989 Ford Mustang GT fully built
1992 Honda CBR600F2 (stolen)
1990 Chevy Corvette Convertible 383 stroker
1976 Lincoln Mark 460
1994 Honda CBR600F2
2000 Chevy Z28 383/nitrous
1974 Lincoln Mark 460
2000 Honda CBR929RR
2004 Chevy Corvette Z16 CE

This obviously doesn't include the beaters, trucks and commuter cars/cycles. Oh, well. Time to check EBay!

(I posted this on a couple other forums to gauge whether I have a problem, or if we are all nuts!)

A lot of the older Muscle cars were owned in the 80's early 90's when you could still pick one up rather cheaply. several of my Novas I got without engines and trannys for under $1000. I worked near a junkyard and got profiecent at transplanting motors in. I would fix it up, drive for a little while then sell it.

You want to hear disturbing? In the span between my 17th and 22nd birthday, I owned 6 cars a truck and a motorcycle. We must be related...

My neighbors actually find it amusing. I keep all the vehicles in decent shape and the ones outside are parked orderly.

Heh. Nope, but one of the GTs was "on blocks" temporarily. I felt bad about that and rectified it pretty quickly. I'm a sucker for a nice 3rdGen...

Yep. I must be compensating for something...

Seriously, you could run over a mini-van with a mid-1970s Lincoln and not feel it...

There's some killer vehicles on that list! I hope you took some pics over the years. Sadly, I don't have pics of some of my early projects...

Yeah, right! We'd just sit around and discuss which vehicles we're going to buy next!

Oh yes, Many pics. Some of those cars were really really nice. I really miss my 67 chevelle ss (4 speed car with a 427 and marina blue) My 68 Charger was really nice with a 440 and b-5 blue. Several of my Novas were really nice too. Really miss them to.

My 71 SS Elcamino I still have and it is awesome 402 Big Block, th-400 12 bolt 3.73 silver black ss stripes. Chrome all re dipped. Looks nice.

I glad you were smart and took photos. I was too busy "being cool" or whatever at the time and really regret it.

Sounds like we'd have some good conversations over a couple of cold beverages...

yes I really miss some of my stuff. They were so plentiful back in the 80's and 90's weren't they!! If I had only known.

Don't see myself getting rid of the El Camino anytime soon
