I am the same way. I had to update my list after I read it. This list is just for what you have owned. I started the list just to see what kind of vehicles members have had, but I think I am going to show the lists to my wife. This way she knows I am not the only guy that gets bored with the same old car or truck. Now there are alot of vehicles I seen on here I wish I had. Right now I am looking for my first car again a 1976 Camero to restore. You know something I can get my kids involved with and spend quality time.
