Red Ring Tupperware Party, Autumnal Equinoctal Edition (24)

I don't know if I can remember all mine.
First was 1968 Charger R/T
1967 Chrysler 300
many old air cooled VWs (54 bug and 52 Bus with barn doors on both sides were the oldest)
couple of late 80s 5-series BMWs
1983 Mercedes Benz 230CE (grey market)
1993 300 SEL Benz
2001 500 SEL Benz
2001 Audi A6 twin turbo
2005 Audi A8
2009 Yukon Denali
1996 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
1996 VW Jetta
2000 Honda Civic
1998 Honda Accord
1997 Kaw ZX-7
2008 Kaw ZX-10r
1985 Ford Bronco
1978 Chevy P.U.
1970 Chevy P.U.
1989 Dodge Caravan
1981 Mustang with blown 351c
1968 Roadrunner
1970 GTX
1977 Ford Pinto wagon
and a Plymouth Fury 3... don't remember if it was 66 or 67

Also have purchased many others for parts.

My '65 Fury III. Good times....

I had a 69 plymouth, it was a huge sedan but a 2 door, the doors were as big as a VW

I'm more into motorcycles than cars. I can tell you every motorcycle I ever had, but can't remember half the cars. Since someone mentioned "throwback" I bought this one in 1982, kept it for almost 20 years and rode it over 150,000 miles.

I had a couple bikes as well but only one notable one, a 1981 Honda CB750. I sold it when I moved to TX as it was getting really hard to find parts for it. It was a great bike

My first street bike was a CB750. '73 model. These were taken in '78.

Had several bikes since then. Sold my Harley in April. It was probably the last I'll ever have.

I really liked that bike. It was big enough so that you could ride it all day yet small enough to be nimble. I re-geared mine, changed the rear drive gear which caused a slight loss in acceleration but significantly lowered the RPM when cruising. If I remember correctly my RPM went from something like 6000 at 70 to about 4500 at 70. It made for a much more comfortable ride and bumped up the gas mileage a bit.

I miss riding but I have had too many close calls. I figured my luck is running out.

other than betsy buying a car...

my list of cars i have bought is:

Same. Vegas is the worst place I've ever ridden, and I've missed probable death... by inches... at least twice. Numerous other close calls. I've ridden street for 35 years, but I'm done.

...Toyota Corona...

Toyota Corona; my first car I loved that thing. I think it was a '68.

I'm kinda feeling the same these days. We still have the Honda 1100 Shadow, but it doesn't currently run. The fuel system and carbs need cleaning out and I can't seem to work up the motivation to do it. I figure my motorcycling days are pretty much done...

Pinto!!

We had a 1978 Pinto Runabout (hatchback). It was my Grandfather's and he gave it to us in 1997 when he decided to give up driving. We drove out to Three Hills, Alberta for a school reunion. He drove too, from Vancouver Island.
Grandpa's last big road trip was 1200 kms, through the Rocky Mountains, in a 1978 Pinto, at 89 years old, alone.
