I have loved every car I have ever owned with one exception.

1. 1966 Chevy Caprice 396 V8 (I still have it)
2. 1975 Cadillac Coupe De Ville 500 ci V8 (I Loved that car. White with red leather interior… my Pimp Mobile)
3. 1979 Porsche 911 (Had a 450hp turbo in it. Only 4 gears. That thing would give you whiplash)
4. 1967 Corvette Stingray (Should have never sold this car but needed the money)
5. 1975 Ford F350 Super Cab pickup truck with a 460 V8. That was one tough truck
6. 1984 Ford Taurus (Bought it the day after Christmas when they first went on sale. Mistake)
7. 1996 Honda Del Sol vetch. That was a fun little 2 seater! Only had it for 11 months until some drunk plowed in to me
8. 1998 Ford Econoline Van Conversion with Triton V8 (Bullet Proof!)
9. 1994 Isuzu Amigo. Great little 4x4. Got hit in that one too.
10. 2003 Honda Accord. Great sedan
11. 2006 Honda Civic SI driving this one now. Great car. Fast too.

Is there some way to trace cars by the name they were once registered in? My late father had some great cars when I was a kid in the 70’s in Texas and I would love to see if some of them were still on the road or for sale.

Some I loved, some I hated. Hated my first car when Dad gave it to me, cried when I wrecked it.

1. 1970 Buick LeSabre Dad bought it new, gave it to me in 76.
2. 1974 Triumph Shi-er-Spitfire. What a piece of spit.
3. 1976 Ford Granada Totalled it after 2 weeks (good riddance)
4. 1965 VW beetle. 3 1/2 years out of a $500.00 car. Not bad.
5. 1984 VW Rabbit GTI. My first new car.
6. 1988 Dodge Dakota truck. Sold it in 98 with 105,000 miles and the guy who bought it drove it until 2007.
7. 1989 Dodge Colt (by Mitsubishi) The people who made the WWII Zero's revenge on America.
8. 1998 Chevy truck. No frills, just your basic work truck. Got totalled in 2000
9. 2000 Chevy Silverado Good truck except for that 50 cent connector on the gas tank that would have cost $450.00 to replace.
10. 2000 Chevy Cavalier. No problems, just didn't like the car.
11. 2004 Chevy Impala. Should have kept this one.
12. 2007 Nissan Titan. Enough torque to pull the panties off a nun. Love it.
13. 2008 VW Beetle-wanna-be (New Beetle) convertible. SIX different warranty repairs in 1 1/2 years. Can you say Mexican built German Car?
14. 2010 Ford Focus. Wife's car (replacing the 2008 VW) and she loves it.
15. and my baby. 1969 VW Beetle Convertible that I am in the final steps of a body off restoration.
