Just in case anyone’s feeling flush
-
Someday I really need to at least ride in a Porsche, although driving would obvs be better. (You’d be astonished how few makes I’ve actually driven. Not counting rentals, I think this is the entire list: Chevy, Honda, Toyota, Jeep, MG, Mazda…but the last two for a grand total of maybe 50 miles.)
Hope everyone had a great Father’s Day.

@Old-Busted-Hotness said in Just in case anyone’s feeling flush:
Owned but not driven:
Fiat (X1/9, Strada, another 128)
Olds (Cutlass)This particular list made me laugh for reasons
-
@Zaphod-s-Heart-of-Gold Bought as non-runners, never bothered to revive.
The X1/9 was a no-title parts car, Strada was ate up with rust but donated its engine to the Yugo autocross car, the Olds I bought at a garage sale for $30 and parted out.
-
@Just-Jeepin You are now making every Oppo think back to every vehicle they have ever driven. I would list mine but it would be both incomplete and inaccurate since i can't remember them all and I'm not positive I remember what I drove correctly.
But it's a longer list than I thought it would be
-
@Old-Busted-Hotness Oh I understood what happened there especially since 3/4 of the list is Fiats. Just made me smile.
I have driven all of my project cars but none of them very far. The F100 has gone maybe 100 feet in the 3+ years I've had it and 0 distance since it got into the garage.
-
@Just-Jeepin if you're going just on makes and excluding rentals and test drives, my list is just as short and alot less interesting:
Dodge
Plymouth
Ford
Chrysler
Honda
Toyota
ChevroletArguably, 3 of those are the same make since badge engineering was a runaway phenomenon by the time the first one came into my life..
