My Cars In Order As I Can Recall Them
My First Car
1971 VW Squareback - I hated and loved this car.
I struggled to make $90 a month payments.
Kathy Monroe from Wells Fargo wanted it so bad, she called me nearly every day.

Ford Fiesta
Sold it to Dean Durant for like $400
Pontiac Ventura
Brother to the Chevy Nova and Powerful
Brother Larry ended up with it.
Plymouth Reliant K
Ok, my mom talked me into this one! "its reliable".
Brother Larry ended up with it too.
Chrysler Laser Turbo
First married car.
Spent our honeymoon driving from Winlock, WA to Clover, South Carolina in this car.
Black car, black leather interior in the south...bad idea.
Mitsubishi Montero
I remember the first words I said when I "totaled" this car:
"I sure liked this car! But, I survived'
Nissan Pathfinder
Replacement for the Montero after my wreck.
Ford Escort
Commuter Car - I think I got this from Roni, my sister???
Toyota Camry
A practical, new young family decision - Boring!
Mercury Topaz
Another boring practical decision.
Mazda MPV
Drove this one to Alaska a couple times - very dependable.
Brother-in-law, Art, bought it from us and was wrecked soon after, saaadd!
Chevy Suburban
This was our Kotzebue, Alaska rig. Not this exact picture, this one is much nicer!
The one we drove was once a cab for Sandra's parents taxi cab co., Polar Cab.
GMC Conversion Van
Drove this one back from Alaska. Nice fancy ride.
Saturn SE
I bought this one in Sulkum, WA. Great car until son Darryl wrecked it.
He hit a deer and it was considered a "total loss"
WV Beetle
Picked this up from a co-worker for a commuter car.
After it broke down I sold to son, Darryl, friend's dad.
Ford F150
Home work truck - hauling wood, music gear, lumber, scooby-our dog,
and occasionally kids.
Ford Windstar
After Darryl wrecked the Saturn, we were offered a replacement van from Ed King.
Buick Park Avenue
My wife's, Sandra, favorite car. It was nice, but when it broke down
I wanted a new car for her...mistake!
Scion Xb
Not that this car was a mistake, its just not as nice and roomy as the Park Avenue.
Its been very reliable, but has taken a beating after moving back to Alaska.
Ford Mustang GT
My early mid-life crisis car maybe?? I started playing in bands again, too!
Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer Edition
When I got a job again in Alaska, I sold the Mustang and got an "Alaska Man Vehicle". Sold it to Sandra's boss after about 2 years and bought........
Land Rover Discovery II
Nice yes, but a money pit with the fuel economy and the repair bills. Cars the movie said it the best, "if there's no oil under them, there's no oil in them." Oh, well. I own it now.
Jeep Commander
It's a Jeep...need I say more?

BMW 740IL
This car had some "get up and go".Gave it to my son and bought the next BMW.
BMW X5
Nice car when its not not in the shop. I'll be looking to sell this one soon...while there are no problems with it...dang!
Ford F150
Needed a truck for runs to The Home Depot. As of 3/29/19 I've had this 5 days.
Audi Q5 3.0 TDI Premium Plus
A diesel with lots of get-up-an-go! This is a little smaller than he BMW X5, but much more power. 6 cylinder.
