How many vehicles have you owned?

I want a VW square back as a project car

My dad almost made me sleep in the garage on that one. 

Went out looking for parts for the ghia, following one of those cryptic ads and some old guys directions on the phone, nothing for the ghia, but he opened up the barn to show me the square back, 70,000 miles, solid as a rock. Came home with the tow truck following me in the driveway.

Probably the one I have the most regrets getting rid of.

My first car was 1970 VW Fastback. Loved that car, miss it like hell.

[TheoK]

Of course you miss it.

[Phlexor]

Of course you miss it.

Yeah, cos that hitler fucked scammed the german public by taking the cars that they were  saving for with some stamp system and used them in the war. what a fuckstain.

[TheoK]

But it was that "Hitler fucked" person who introduced the idea that every family should be able to own a car. In Europe that was unthinkable in the 1930s. Cars were for the rich, not for the average citizen.

Maybe because he was going to scam the public all along, get their money to fund the war effort before the war start. He obviously had this all planned from the start. He had no intention of giving the public those cars.

I doubt I will ever own a car. Currently I don't need one.

[Blasted]

Me neither.  I don't see the point since I reckon I will always live in cities.  Public transport is enough for me

Christ, am I the only idiot who has owned 15 cars (sometimes two or three at a time)?

That's being committed not idiocy ebf.  Hell I have over 40 guns in my safe. 

[earthboundmisfit]

Oh, there will be many more. I already have a few in mind... but they are going to have to wait for a year or two.

Lucky bastard. That would be impossible in Sweden, unless you have a collector's license, which is very rare. And then you need a separate license for firing the guns(!) Normally you can just have six rifles as a hunter and one or two pistols as a target shooter (if you could get a pistol license at all). My grandpa had three rifles: one 12 gauge shot gun, one .22 and one more, which I think was 6.5 mm.

I don't think one of my brothers could list them all.  He has a thing for relay cheap used cars he drives until they die which can be in two weeks or a year. I have gone an rescued him more than once.  He has maybe 4 or 5 of them right now in varying conditions. Mostly light trucks and vans he overloads to the point of blowing the transmission
