Well I had a 98 Honda Prelude which I loved until some young girl decided to turn left on green without yielding. Totalled the car with over $15,000 in damages and the engine was even touched. I've had my Truck for two weeks now and I can't imagine owning anything else. kinda wish I would have got a 4x4 since three days after I bought my truck I got a huge promotion at work. Affording the extra few thousand wouldn't have been a problem. Maybe next go round, hope I haven't grown up by then.

Well I drove a F150 before my F150. Had a 97 F150 XL S/C 4.2. So I upgraded to the bad boy that I have now. You're right, I couldn't imagine driving anything other than a truck, I'll always be in one.

My last car before the beast:
a 1986 Bluebird by Nissan. I was in Japan!! Over here it's called a maxima!! mine of course had the steering wheel on the right and naturally it was a 5 speed. Shifted w/left hand. Used to have awful bruises on the right hand from hitting the door every time I went to shift!! And at 80kph it made this god-awful racket (something to keep you from speeding!!) Sure was glad to get back into a truck!!

Hmmm... Last to first -

4 wheel vehicles:
*1998 Ford Ranger (rented for two weeks waiting on Beast to come in)
*1963 VW-based "Avenger" kit car (still own)
*1987 Nissan King Cab 4X4 SE V6
*1978 Datsun King Cab 4X2
*1983 Toyota corrolla (Mom's car. Drove only occasionally)
*1969 Pontiac Bonneville with 428ci V8 and "various colors of primer" finish
*1972 F150 (F100?) Ranger XLT (drove while dad was at sea - didn't want it to just sit!)
*196? F150 (F100?) 4X4 (only to help dad feed the cows)
*19?? Various heavy dump trucks, tractors, and combines. These are what I learned to drive on, when I was just barely tall enough to reach pedals! I was a farm kid early on, and well, you just drive all kinds of stuff...

2 Wheel vehicles:
*1982 HD FXRS (currently restoring and yet to actually ride, but will soon. Currently depleting my fund for truck goodies, but is almost ready to ride)
*1988 Honda Hawk GT 650 (where my name comes from. Still own and love)
*1992 Yamaha WR200 Enduro dirt bike (still own and get dirty with it!)
*1985 Honda XL350R Dual-Sport
*1986 Yamaha Virago 1100 (Wrecked, still have the carcass. I loved that bike...)
*1974 Kawasaki KZ400 with open pipes and "Flow through" lubrication ;-) A nasty little machine...
*197? Sears mini-bike with "modifed" governor (wonder I never blew the motor!)

For the Record, the Bonneville and the '99 F150 are the only ones with auto-trannies that I have actually owned. I did a lot of soul-searching before deciding I had to have the 5.4 l, and therefore accept the slushbox. It is a cruel world!
