1950 Ford Tudor coupe, flathead V8 and 3 speed on the column. 
1962 Doge Dart, straight 6, automatic pushbutton transmission, a tank that you couldn't tear up. 
1969 Opal Kadete, 4 cylinder, 4 speed manual, slow as hell but you could get twelve high school kids in it. 
1970 Dodge Dart, V8, automatic. 
1972 Mercury Montego, 351C, automatic. wish I still had this one. 
1971 Lincoln Contenental Mark IV, 460 ford tank. 
1969 Honda Civic, 4 cylinder 4 speed. Top speed of 99mph with a tail wind. 
1985 Pontiac Bonneville, 8 cylinder, 3 speed auto. 
1986 Chevrolet Caprice Station Wagon, V8 hydraulic brake booster. 
1991 Ford E150 Custom van, 302, 3 speed with OD. Put many vacation miles on this baby. 
1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, Twin turbo V6, all wheel steering and all wheel drive. Car was fast especially in the turns. Would be a good track car. 
1972 Detomaso Pantera, 351C upgraded to a 411 IR EFI. 
1996 Chevrolet Camaro. V6, auto overdrive. 
1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback, 302 with automatic overdrive with rack and pinion steering. 
2008 Hyundai Veracruz, V6 Automatic 6 speed, loaded with everything, maybe best car I've owned. 
2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP hardtop coupe, one of only 230 made like it. 
2001 Pontiac Firebird, V6 Automatic overdrive, larger wheels and tires.

We've done this before, and I liked it then too. 

67 Cougar, 289 automatic, white, very straight, rear ended by a drunk on 
the 8th day of ownership 
68 Mustang, 302 automatic, switched to top loader after burning up 3 
automatics, used that car up 
84 Mustang GT Turbo, strangely that's one I really miss, great commuter, 
plus plenty of grunt for passing, traded it in on the 93 Cobra 
93 Mustang Cobra, Red, Vortech, I would still have it today if the punks 
wouldn't have kept stealing it. 
67 Mustang Fastback, 289 then 428 2x4s, 5 speed in white/blue GT500 trim, 
too loud, extremely fast 
97 Mustang Cobra, hated that car, lots of power, but it felt like a Toyota 
72 Pantera, favorite so far 
01 Viper GTS ACR, Sapphire Blue
