Past Vehicles Owned

[Knivx]

I thought of this the other day and decided it'd be an interesting topic to see what everyone here has owned or still owns before they got the VX. I'll start.

1. 1961 Land Rover Series II SWB (really regret selling it)
2. 1984 Jeep Cherokee 2 door
3. 1987 VW Fox 2 door
4. 1986 Suzuki Samurai (still own it as slow and ongoing project)
5. 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ (fun but very slow. lifted with the 4 cyl.)
6. 1988 Ford Bronco
7. 2000 Isuzu Vehicross

Wife's Current Car: 2005 Ford Focus (but we want to find her an Axiom)
I also drove off and on throughout all this: 1993 Ford F250 (father's truck)

I guess quite a few for only being 23 yrs old.

So lets see all your lists!

[tom4bren]

I think there was a similar thread a cupla years ago but I'll join in.

1. 74 Duster
2. Maverick (can't remember what year)
3. 84 Escort
4. 79 Dodge Power Wagon
5. Suzuki Samurai (can't remember what year)
6. 93 Eclipse
7. 93 Land Cruiser
8. 03 Eclipse
9. 04 Eclipse
10. 00 VX

Somewhere in there were 2 Dodge Vans.

I learned to drive on a 65 Plymouth Station Wagon but that was Dad's so I didn't list it.

I'll clean up my list when I can remember the model years.

Bot it, didn’t build it. Candy Blue, 2 4’s sticking out through the hood.

umm......i would ALMOST bet my VX that they didnt make a CRX in 97 my friend.... do you mean 87?

almost is the key word there...i would be extremely suprised if you proved me wrong..

[pbkid]

1991 Honda CRX 6 cylinder 2 wheeler (New from dealer 1997)

i think your number pad is broken bro...

few things wrong with this statement.... CRX 6 cylinder??? not possible unless severely chopped up... 2 wheeler??? whats that mean??....new from dealer in 97?? how is a 1991 new in 97???

hmm...

[don moore]

ok starting with the oldest ..1956 President Cady....with 30 cars in between.... to the newest ..2004 pt Cruiser and my 1999 VX.

[newthings]

Ha,
That's a 1987 and a CBX. Sorry
I was always nuts for the Honda CBX transverse inline 6 in 1977-1978. A Candy Red heavy sport bike which did not compete well with the Kawa Z1. Sales poor, so Honda added a monoshock, stretched the frame and made a touring bike in 1991 and 1992. I had a 1991 in pearl white (The 1992 was metallic gray). These were against the Gold Wing. Still no sale. Honda put the crated CBX's in the warehouse until in 1997 they offered them to dealers for cheap. I paid $2200. for a zero miles CBX in 1997. Honda Pacific Coast is another great touring bike that missed what the public wanted.
Cheers, Roy

Cool Tom. You went through the exact same transition I did right there. How long did you have your X for? I had mine for almost 6 years, blew up the engine, and bought the VX. A horrible event was turned into the best vehicle purchase of all time for me. :D

Hey Littlebeast. It just occurred to me that you have never experienced the pleasure of selling a car.
