I wish I had pictures of all the vehicles I've owned over the years. I could probably list them, but no pics.

Same. Wish I had pics of my first half dozen or so cars... I miss them.

People forget that back in the day we couldn't just aim our phone at our cars and take a pic.

Red, if you just paused a bit and quit buying $3K shitboxes, you could have a really nice car/truck.

Count your pictures and multiply by $3k.

I've had a 68 Beetle, 71 Super Beetle, 85 and 87 Camaros, 77 Grand Prix, 84 GP, 78 and 91 Mustangs, 95 F-150, and the 89 Corvette.
Most of the photos have never been scanned.
85, in '90. I was 22


77 GP in 2001


Only pic I took of the truck


5.0 and 87 Camaro (only pic I have of the 87)


Corvettes can work in the snow!

All orig. '69 SS396 I drove in HS around 1981.


First new car I purchased. '89 IROC. 5.7


First Corvette. 1966, bought it in Orlando, restored it, and sold it.


Last Corvette. 1965, found local, restored and sold it.


Missing:
1979 Fiat Spider. Great fun car, Pinanfarina design, wouldn't keep a head gasket on it for long...

1993 Trans Am. 6-spd. Bought it off the showroom floor. Very fun car. I had a life changing situation a few months just after purchase. I kept it for about a year.

I've restored a few VW Beetles and sold them. I think I might have been one of the first to ever list a car on ebay for sale. No special section or anything. Guy sent a cashiers check and hauler. Never heard back from him. Guess, he was happy with it.

A couple of trucks.

There was some overlap on several of those. When I had the SL and the Vettes I always had a daily driver and a motorcycle. My wife was doing the summer car thing also, she had a Z3 and a CRV daily driver. That all ended when her daughter went off to college.

My DDs have been Vettes since 80 so I needed beater trucks to do the dirty work and a wagon or something to haul my mutts. When the dogs want to go for a ride, they go for a ride. Several of the cars I listed were, dog cars.

I really don't take many pictures of my cars.

First car was an pristine 1982 Buick Regal.
Next was a blue '87 Beretta
Next was a '92 Beretta

Next was a brand new Blue 1998 Monte Carlo Z34...which I traded 9 months later for a 1998 Camaro

Next was a '00 Z28:

from the tome that I got into the Camaros, I always kept a beater car for the winter.
I had a blue '92 Regal for years, then I moved onto a 1990 Cutlass Ciera

Traded the Z28 for a C5

Then the wife came into my life...
We got her an '04 Envoy first

Sold my C5 and bought a red 2008 Pontiac G8.

traded the wife's Envoy in for an '06 Buick Rainier

Had the red G8 for about a year and a half and got tired of it and got a black one.

Sold the beater Gutlass and bought a 1999 F150 for a spare vehicle/home depot runner

Sold the wife's Rainier and got her a '13 Subaru Crosstrek


I think that is about it.
