I'm in! Findings pics may be challenging.
But here goes. 39 years worth of commitment issues incoming...
1977 Ford Granada with 302 from 1987 to 1988. My first car in high school.
1988 Mustang GT from 1988 to 1990. I learned to really DRIVE on this car...the parts cannon was in full effect fixing the stuff I constantly broke
1987 Lincoln MKVII LSC from 1990 to 1992 (far left in this arsehole of a picture)
1992 Ford Exploder XLT from 1992 to 1994-ish
1992 Ford Taurus SHO 5 speed from 1994 to 1996-ish
1996 Ford Exploder V8...things start to get fuzzy on dates here
1995 Volvo 850 not turbo brick but a manual transmission. Did a lot of suspension mods on this one to make it more fun
1998 Volvo V70 T5 manual. Really started my turbo tuning journey with this car. Crap ton of fun to whip this thing around. (This pic is on the "Bar" in Bar Harbor when they used to let you drive out there)
2005 F150 XLT with the 5.4 Triton. Decent truck, never had any issues with it but got bored of it fairly quickly. Missed my turbo wagons, so....
2004 V70R 6 speed. This car was CRAZY fun to modify and drive hard but when repairs started looming to the suspension, it was time to get more reasonable. I kept this one for a while, though.
2010 XC60 T6. This was a mistake. Definitely not my cup of tea, but it was pretty quick.
2011 F150 FX4 Ecoboost, Gen 1....candy apple red. GORGEOUS truck! Towed my race car.
2012 Volvo XC70 T6 with Polestar tune
2017 Jaguar F-Pace R-Design
2016 Mazda CX-5 I bought for my daughter
2020 Jaguar F-Pace SVR. This thing was ludicrously fast, insanely loud, and probably my favorite of all the cars I've owned so far. Simply stunning to look at and drive, imo.
2023 Land Rover Defender 110 (the wife's car)
2024 F150 Lariat...what brought me to all you lunatics
Project cars through the years:
2001 BMW M5. Did a lot of suspension work, exhaust, clutch, and interior mods to this one. Actually raced it in the 2010 Targa Newfoundland. This was a wicked car!! Probably the most regret over selling this one, tbh.
Fun story...anybody recognize this guy on bottom right?
1983 Volvo 245 Turbo wagon. This one was JACKED up and built exclusively for 2012 Targa Newfoundland. Nothing on this car was stock. Not enough events in my area to keep it, and I wanted something older and more tame I could drive with my family, so it had to go.
1958 Volvo PV444 with an ancient B14B and 4 speed manual. Restored the suspension on this one and build a nice B18/B20 hybrid for it.
1950 Ford F-1. Wyoming truck, bone stock with roughly 47K miles. Solid as a rock and kept as original as possible when I fix things.
1965 Ford Galaxie 500. Was a one-owner car out of MI, 289 with an automatic. Full restomod suspension (Hotchkis kit) and a newly built 390 FE with a 4 speed toploader conversion. I did all the work myself, and built the engine with my stepdaughter. Such a great engine.
