First car, 1974 Datsun B210, bright orange, Grandma and Grandpa's old car (sorry about the bad photo, but the flood wiped out a lot of stuff last year at Mom and Dad's and this was part of a larger photo). It was a rust bucket and the floorboard was an uncut sheet of Mountain Dew Bottle Caps. BUT at least I wasn't riding the bus or walking to school.

1978 Chevy Monza, first car right after I graduated in 1986. She was VERY reliable and made NUMEROUS trips from Texas back to Iowa on the weekends when I was off duty, 868 miles one way. Never had a problem with her. But like all godd things, she met her fate when sold for scrap in '91. Miss this car still!!! :-(

1997 Sunfire GT, I traded in my '89 Sunbird for this. LOVED this car. Saved my life TWICE. In October of '99 a woman t-boned me with her BMW. Totaled her car, but only damaged the door on this. Then almost a year to the day later, this car finally met its end by 2 deer and a ditch. I walked away from both without a scratch!!!

2000 Sunfire GT, I found this car just a few days after my '97 got killed and bought it. Can you say LEMON??? It was a new car, but the dealer forgot to tell me it was rebuilt and had wiring from a '96 Sunfire in it. That would explain why the fog lights came on in my driveway or not all when driving. plus the front end started popping and squeaking like an old bed about a year after I got it. Long story short, it was in for service more than 20 times in the 2 years I had this. Though it was a lemon, I still loved it. :-)

2002 Monte Carlo SS, traded in my Lemon for this one. The '86 SS was my dream car, but this was close enough. My first Monte Carlo SS!!! In '02, the white ones didn't come with silver ground effects or silver "Monte Carlo" logos on the sides or trunk so I had the dealer paint the ground effects and order the silver "Monte Carlo" logos. Also added the black pin stripe to seperate the silver and white. It just gave the car a little more "pop" in the looks department. I actually got 38 mpg in this car too!!!

2005 Colorado LT2, for some dumb reason I traded in my '02 Monte SS for this in '05. Loved this truck and would recommend a Colorado to anyone. But after 9 months, I REALLY missed my Monte, so...

2006 Monte Carlo SS, after watching me walk around the house like someone had shot my dog, my wife told me to trade in the '05 Colorado and get another Monte SS. WOOHOO!!! Added the black pinstripe and "Intimidator" logos. Everything was fine until gas hit $5/gallon so my beautiful Monte SS once again left my stable. @#$%!!! I traded it in on a yellow '08 Cobalt Sport. VERY fun car, but definitely not a Monte SS.

2008 Colorado LT2, after 8 months of driving the yellow Cobalt, I traded it in on another Colorado. LOVE this truck!!! Had to buy this since the woman who bought my '06 Monte SS wouldn't sell it back to me. @#$%!!!

2007 Monte Carlo SS, this is the latest addition to my stable. I found this in Painted Post, NY(926 miles from my house). My buddy and I made a road trip out there and bought it on September 11, 2009. I got it home, added the black pinstripes and "Intimidator" logos. I will be adding the "Intimidator" door sill plates and having the headrests embroidered with the "Initmidator" logo. I am also working on a stencil so I can paint a silver "Intimidator" logo on the engine cover.

I did it. I traded in my '07 Monte SS for this beauty... She's a fully loaded, 2011 Camaro 2SS and I call her "Domino".

This is "War Machine". I got rid of my red 2010 Camaro for a white 2011 Cruze in June of 2011. In February 2012, I traded in my Cruze for this... a new 2012 Camaro.
