How 'bout cars we owned?
Why not expand on this thread, no more bull $hit on cars people NEVER owned or dream of and become well to do driving superior automobiles and trying to fool us.
I'll start with my favorites
My first Luxury car.
1988 Lincoln LSC Mark VII
every option you could ask for.
My first car, drove the balls off it through my first years of college.
1987 Ford Escort GL
I wanted a GT or even the EXP but it's what mom drove then eventually me.
Many memories were made with that car.

Then came my passion, my "grail from when I was 9 years old. owned for only a year, a 1981 Delorean Greya with auto. Vin 5582. The "idea" of a Delorean was far more romantic than the reality. All show no go, handled well (Lotus design) anemic powerplant and grossly overweight.
BUT nothing was more baller than pulling up and popping that gullwing door with a fresh "scratch" on the stainless steel panels. Definately a car for a tinkerer. Common snese got the better of me and sold it and more common sense took hold and i regretted selling it. After i saw back to the future, I was hooked for 10 years until I got my own in 1995. I was at first amused at the "does it go back in time "comments but always had a clever comeback.
My city commuting brought me to economical levels and went with a 5 speed accord Lxi. Lots of options, dependable and short lived. Bought and sold in a year.
Bikes, are a plenty. I love my current Ducati but it all started with this: 1985 Honda Rebel 250
