What's your motor vehicle history?

I left off we had a Honda Civic for many years as my wife's and our "family car".

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.
