Over the past 30 Years I've had over 25 vehicles that I can remember which works out to almost a different car every year and a bit. Since I've listed all of them on here I'm actually shocked at how many I've gone through, That's a lot of cars, 

When Hall of fame  
1977 1971 Volvo

The Car that took a licking and kept on ticking after a wreck it was painted from it's Original green to match an old flat nose ford van. once it had it's Mirrored windows and stuffed bumble bee hanging from the mirror. there was nothing that could make this car more ridicules

1979 1975 Mercury Monarch

For traveling daily between Mirabel and Montreal this was a good highway car, made even better by it's flashing lights.

1982 1982 Honda Civic

It didn't survive!

1983 1979 Pontiac Firebird

with its color changed from dark red to bright red  it Looked good ran good, what more could you ask for.

1984 1978 Ford Pinto

The fill in winter beater that went to Toronto with no brakes, fell in the lake and kept going for years even though it had no interior, It's motor went in a friends car in 1988

1985 1981 Mustang

The car that went and went, after about 200000Km of Montreal Toronto weekly trips this car had its motor changed for a 300hp 302 and had another 100km driven before it was traded in. 

1988 1980 Corvette

Well this car handled like crap, it  had lousy brakes was twisted, rattled and squeeked, was to low to the ground and dragged and scrapped over the sidewalks but it sure was fun. but at least when it came time to sell it, it sold for about the same thing it was purchased for. 

 
 1989 1989 Pontiac Firebird

The roadtrip car that came back as a winter beater several years later, this car saw a few roadtrips to Florida during it's 100km or so lifetime

 

1990 1990 Chevrolet Corvette

besides the fact it was in the dealer every second week for electrical problems, and being stranded all over north america because of those problems, when it did run it was fun to drive considering it's 150mph top speed

1991 1991 Chevy Silverado

Well this was a fill in truck, The one I ordered was stolen the day it arrived so I had to take this one off the lot, but being used as a snow plow and a winter vehicle it did it's job

1992 1992 GMC Yukon

The diesel beast was big and comfortable and had no problem hauling boats

 

1995 1995 GMC Sierra Z71

Diesel beast, drove it for 2 years for almost free, but gave it up to an offer I couldn't refuse

1996 1996 GMC S-10 High Rider

fun for a while but little bouncy truck

1998 1998 GMC Jimmy

It did it's time

2000 2000 Chrysler sebring

Great convertable

2002 2002 Pontiac Trans-am CE

GM Quality not there took 3 years to reprogram the computer system so it drives normal, and after 5 years it's still sitting in the garage hopefully increasing in value/, Got rid of it in 2010 before it lost all its value!

2003 2000 Dodge Dakota

Good work truck and winter beater, but a pig on gas at about 300000km when traded in on the jeep

2004 2004 Jeep Tj

It's a jeep Likes the mud, cheap and got the job done, but sure does go through a lot of windshields!  5 cracks in 3 years

2007 2007 GMC Acadia SLT2

The newest just arrived, so far no problems,  surprising for a GM vehicle, but sure did take a long time to get here from the factory!

2011 2011 VW Jetta

It was time to get fuel efficient, and some VW racing credits  didn't hurt in making this a very low cost car!

There a a few I left out like an s-10 that I drove off a cliff one day, or the ford van which ended up getting 400000km on it Zekes old firebird, the old chevy wagon the 6000 wagon and a few others but this list covers almost a  full 30 year time frame  as for other toys
