Way too many list, or remember. The highlighted ones are:

1st 2 cars were 57 Chevys.

A half dozen or so VW bugs, including one Type III

65 Barracuda You could fold down the back seat and there was a door to the trunk that folded down too. That left just enough room to slide in a single bed mattress, yes, it got used.

71 Road Runner Fastest car I have owned. Speedo went to 150, I buried it one night running well over 160 mph. None of the 3 State Troopers could get a clock on me, and no I wasn't running from them.

Melroe bobcat, the skid-steer loader, more fun than one might think

15 RX7's in less than 6 years, still have the first one as my DD. Currently own 6-7's, along with 5 other vehicles including 2-300 Z's, a 90 Toronado Trofeo, 65 Chevy 2-1/2 grain truck and a 2000 Chevy 1 ton 12' box van.

632 What was funny was watching my sister the first, and only time she ran it. Scooped up a big bucket full of dirt, rocks and bricks and lifted the arms all the way up. The bucket does not self level and she got a good part of the load dumped in her face and lap. Dropped the bucket, got off and never wouldn't get on it again.

It was fun while it lasted, the pump went out and I wasn't willing to pay 4k to have it rebuilt. Sold it to some farmer that had more money than I wanted to spend.

87 cavalier black, bought from junkyard to fix up and sell for more
87 cavalier blue, bought from junkard to fix up but trashed it instead
77 AMC Gremlin, beater mobile, got it for $99 and a few cents. killed.
88 dodge 2WD pickup, fixed up, sold.
78 GMC 3/4 ton with a 350, headers, open dual exhaust. gas sucker.
85 RX7-GS, mint condition, drove 100,000k in just a couple years, sold.
90 Cavalier, great shape when i bought it, got bored and used it as a e-brake donut machine. sold
90 toyota supra, massive boost machine, still own it and is the most fun car ive ever owned.
84 Rx7 GS, bought needing just about everything fixed, swapped to 13b, carbed, still fixing.
84 Rx7 SE, bought for a parts car, but didnt have the heart to kill it, so have restored and still working on it. no longer for sale. perhaps my new daily driver.

out of all of them i must say i liked the 85 GS interior the most (in gray), liked the supra for the power and trucks are just handy to have once in awhile.
