I'll post my former "cool" cars.

2004 Ford Lightning. First performance vehicle. Blew the engine on the track(shattered 7 rods) after overspinning the (H)eaton and nitrous. Ended up doing Head/Cam work along with a 2.6L Kenne Bell. Owned it for 9 years.

2002 ZX-12R. Stupid fast bike. Did full exhaust(titanium headers) and a tune. Became my DD for a few months when I blew up the truck. Was not fun riding everyday in the FL heat/rain.

2011 GT500. Bought it in 2014. Had 3k miles on it. Fun weekend car. Flipped it for the next truck

2012 Raptor Supercrew. Offroaded it a lot. Put just under 40k miles on it in 18 months before selling it for 1k under what I bought it for.

2013 Raptor Roush Supercab. Found my "dream" raptor. Fun truck, just ended up hating the suicide doors and a recent neck injury(unrelated to offroading) made the truck a pavement truck only. Sold it for same purchase price.

Enjoyed everyone's posts so far - fun thread.

1980 International Harvester Scout Traveler (Midas) - setting in the shed currently but my favorite vehicle. Picked it up a few years ago in Colorado - planning mild modifications and restoration. Disregard the mess in my old garage


1995 Mustang GT convertible - high school car - sold. Thought it was a dog but served me well. Sure sounded good with muffler cut off. Wish it would have had a manual


2001 Dodge Dakota Sport clud cab 4.7l 5 speed - college truck. Loved it, but too small


2001 Honda CBR929 - my first bike. Hit 174 mph with it back when i was stupid. Sold


2004 Dodge Ram 1500 - current daily driver/work truck. She's nice and rusty but i love this truck.


2008 Honda CBR1000RR - really loved this thing. Just drove it casually/safely. Regret selling it.


2008 Hyundai Sonata - daily driver/work car. Been nearly totaled 3 times by my wife

2011 Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster 48 - bought after i sold the CBR. Realized i wasn't a Harley man. Only vehicle so far I've sold at a loss.


2015 Dodge Durango RT - Wife's car/family car. Really like it.

Raptors have insane resale values and Lightnings are a ton of fun.

I've driven a lot of other cars that were technically my parents (we always had 6 or so cars/trucks around the farm it seemed). But most of these were considered "mine" or I bought them myself.

Early 70's F-100 (loved that truck during high school and still wish I could change from high to low beams with my foot)

1985 Toyota truck (drove past 400,000 miles until the body rusted completely through the floor. You could see the highway under your feet while driving. Engine was till cranking away and you could off road wherever you wanted)

1987 Cutlass Ciera-my responsible good gas mileage college car

1987-Dodge Daytona Shelby.

1989 Ford Bronco, the full size. Loved this one too.

1992-Chyrsler LeBaron. Hand me down from my grandparents when my Daytona blew up finally. Got the job done for several years. And that velvet type interior!

2003 VW Passat AWD. Really liked this car actually until I had a heater core issue. Quietest car I ever had and rode like a dream.

2011 Toyota Camry. Traded it in for a 2013 Camry. No repairs, runs flawless. Not sexy, but it simply is quiet, rides nice, gets great gas, and is reliable forever.

2005 Ford Escape-Really had no issues with this SUV at all. It is what I will be selling when I get my new RAM. Honestly can't complain about this purchase for the last 12 years but I want to be able to throw a deer or boards in the back occasionally.

2019 RAM Limited with Ramboxes and eTorque. This is the next order and will be by far the nicest vehicle I have ever owned.

Dream car: 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner.

‘86 Ford Taurus
‘91 Pontiac Trans Am, “T” tops, 350 v-8, black
‘94 F-350 crew cab long bed dually conversion
‘94 Olds Achieva (still ran and had 315,000 miles when sold)
‘96 Chevy Lumina
‘03 Ford Taurus
Had 2 ‘04 F-350 crew cab long bed Lariat diesels
‘01 Ram 2500 long bed ext. cab 360 v-8
‘06 F-150 crew cab short bed 5.4 v-8
‘08 Accord 4 cyl. manual ( had 255,000 miles when traded, ran great)
‘10 Ram 3500 Laramie diesel
A few Chrysler mini-vans lol
‘15 Accord EXL (currently own)
‘17 Expedition EL Platinum (currently own)
‘19 Ram Longhorn (currently own)
My trucks were all customized with performance mods, level or lifts, wheels and tires, exc.

Also had a ‘66 Mustang coupe, 289 v-8, nice car, found it restored and bought cheap cause it didn’t run right. I took it home and found a pinhole in the fuel line near the fuel tank. It would run for awhile and then stall and not start for a while. It would suck air through the pinhole and stall. I fixed it and it ran great after that. Sold for a profit!
Also had a nice ‘67 Ford Galaxy XL convertible, 390 v-8, hidden headlights, center shift console. Very nice car I won in a contest!
Have had countless atv’s, dirt bikes, and street bikes I have fixed up with performance mods, lifts, tires, exc. Use to ride all the time back in the day!

I see a pattern there...kind of a blue oval sort of pattern...

I grew up in a Ford household, so definitely leaned their way early on. lol
But recently my dad and I have converted to Mopar. He was a former Mopar guy in the 70's and recently Ford didn't have any competitor to the SRT Jeep. I started the switch when my wifes Explorer Sport engine was one big POS. Got her a R/T Durango and was impressed. Comparing the Lariat to the Laramie, to me the Laramie looked better and had more features at a better price.

Definitely waiting to see the TRX before I buy my next offroad truck. Not a huge fan of the 3.5L TT
