What's your motor vehicle history?

[putnam6]

I hope you didn't take my post as criticism, it wasn't at all.  One car I always wanted back in the day was one of the Ford Capri's.  I remember when they first came out back in the 70's.  My mom got a Mustang II instead of a Capri, and I knew from the start that was a mistake.  That thing couldn't get out of its own way, but the Capri was a much better car (I thought anyway).  When I turned 16 I was into old Jeeps and Chevy's.  I had about 2.5 Jeeps back in the day, but never really got one restored satisfactorily.  And I just realized I left (2) vehicles off my list; I also once had a Jeep CJ-8 and a Jeep Wrangler (YJ series).  Those were much newer than my 2.5 Jeeps in my teens (which languished in the shop before being sold).

I'm not really motivated with the A8 project, and probably should just sell it; it's more of a project I feel like I 'should' do, more so than I 'want' to do.  The project I'd really love to find is an old mid to late '50's Dodge Power Wagon.  I've got my feelers out for one of these, and if I find one I'm going to do a 5.9L Cummins DI swap into it.  This would be my dream truck.

Not at all FCD, glad to see you here BTW. Just trying to jog my memory, Im kind of proud I got high mileage out of my vehicles. 

We just got started trying to remember all of my Dad's cars still trying.

My older sister had a Mustang II, it was gonna be my hand-me-down car. It was that ugly peachy tan color, but she totaled it. 

But yeah I loved my Capri, I don't know where my Dad found it, he helped me get it and gave him 150 bucks a month till I paid him back. Dad was cool though he took that money and and had my insured white paint job upgraded and changed the color to black 
and had a sun roof put in. It was like a new car

Drove the hell out of it though, I turned 16 before most of my friends and we took trips all the time.

Always, wanted a Jeep Rubicon, Dad had a Cherokee Chief I drove sometimes and he traded it in for a Wagoneer, which he kept for almost 30 years.
