Okay, I've had my fair share considering I'am 23:
1997: Black Ford F-150 XLT SuperCab 4X4/5.4l - My latest pride and joy. I just picked it up last week. I've been wanting a new body style F150 4x4 since late '96. Didn't have cash to spend on a brand new one, but the guy at the dealership gave me an even trade for the Tahoe. I paid $170.00 for the application, title transfer, etc. So I finally got what I've been itchin for. The truck is in such good shape, I don't know if I wanna go muddin' in it although I'am sure to change my mind...back to FORD I go!
1996: Blue/Tan Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4 Door - Okay, too many ticked in the Camaro RS, plus I wanted to get rid of it becuase the resale value is crap, and needed more room.
1996: Candy Apple Red Chevrolet Camaro RS - Chevy or not, this had to be the best car I've owned. Sticked for $23,000, but I picked it up with 7k miles on it for $17,500. Fine looking car, even though it had a V6.
1990: Bright Red Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible - Damn I miss this car. I had tons of fun driving it, crusing, modifying...Sold it with 165,000 miles...ran rock solid.
1987: White Pontiac Trans Am GTA - Loved this car..but always in the garage getting those damn air flow sensors replaced. Went through 4 in one year! Had a 350/5.7l TPI...quite fast.
1985: Red/Silver Chevrolet S10 - A total POS
Just my .02

To Doobie:
Don't have anything English currently. I learned my lesson. Did own a Vauxhall Victor ('59) as a kid that had white metal main bearings - motor blew up and died at 20K miles. In winter the column shift would freeze solid across the neutral gate. Depending on which half of the "H" I parked it in, I would drive around with only 1st and reverse or only 2nd and 3rd. Shifter finally snapped off. Had a TR-6 ('69) I loved. That one had bizarre lever-action rear shocks (like scissors) that kept on piddling their fluid - one broke completely in half.
Jerry D said he once owned a Morris Minor. Any stories?

Probably the most interesting thing about the Morris [other than Mr. Lucas' handiwork leaving me stranded, and trying to keep up w/ traffic in the Colorado mountains with 33 hp, which I think only occurred way beyond redline] was that it had a nice hole in the bumper, so if the starter didn't work [most of the time] you could use the jack handle to start the engine, Model T style. When my high school buddies found this out, they would have me kill the engine @ stoplights, so one of them could jump out and crank start the thing. Other motorists thought it was a VW with some sort of 'glass body on it. All in all, though, it was a lot of fun for the $125 I paid for it in 1972 [including two 5.60x14 studded snow tires on extra rims].

My first post on this incredibly cool web site!
I drove a '93 Nissan King Cab 5 speed, and had driven Nissan mini-trucks since '83 (first new vehicle I ever bought). They're great little things, but too small! I'm quite tall, and the F-150 is the most comfy thing I've had yet for my frame. I've sat in and driven so-called full sized luxury sedans, and none of them matches the comfort of my Supercab. I won't even start on the power difference between the step-up to good ol' American Iron (or is it aluminum, now?)
