What car(s) do you own?

Simply put like the name of the thread what cars do you own or did own?
Also what's the one car you would love to own if you haven't already.?

I don't own a car but I'm always in a 2011 Jeep Patriot. It's uncomfortable if you're sitting in the front. . But if I drove and could own a car I would like to own a 1961 Chevy Impala. That was the car my Dad drove and kept in great condition. Of course I wasn't born yet when he bought it. But when I was old enough to remember it to me, that was the most comfortable car I rode in. It was roomy in both the front and back. This photo is the closest I could find that he owned.

I like big cars. In 2010 I achieved my lifelong dream of owning a big living-room car, a 1980 Olds Regency 98. Poor man's Cadillac. I loved it when people would yell, "Nice car!"

I learned more about car repairs than I ever wanted to know. When I got tired of fixing it and paying others to fix it, I gave it to a collector.

Now I have a small Japanese hatchback (also nice).

I own a '17 Audi A4 S-Line that is just an amazing car. I was the original owner in 2016, and it has 27k miles. I put so few miles on it, it will probably be my last car. As old as it is, it has amazing technology like Apple Carplay and Bluetooth technology. It is incredibly fast and quiet and has a Bang & Olufsen sound system that blows me away when I am listening to music.

My hubby drives a '20 Mazda CX-50. He loves it, so we will probably buy it at the end of his lease in March 2023. The car is worth lots more on the open market than the residual value on the lease. It is a little hatchback that does everything well.

I was born in 1946, so I've seen a lot of cars over the years. My dad worked for Chevrolet in our town in MI and he use to take me to Cobo Hall in Detroit every year for my birthday to see the new car models coming out. I've always loved cars and could tell you the year and model. Not so much now because they all look alike...even the expensive jobs...sigh. No style like the "old" days....haha.

My first car was a 1961 Corvair. I was in nursing school and my parents bought me a car. It was similar to this one: used-chevrolet-corvair-1961-85517895_1_l.jpg

I'm not sure I ever had a favorite car. I loved them all :)
 
I have had many cars... My workhorse is a Ford

I probably have far to many, and plan on thinning the herd over time. Presently, 1960 Thunderbird, 1966 mustang fastback, two triumph TR6's, 1970 ford Galaxie, 05 Ford Explorer, and 04 Ford Crown Victoria, along with ten Ford pickups from 1966 to 1994. I won't go into the heavy trucks. Not all are running, but most are, and I only keep 3-4 registered.
 
We've had way to many cars to list. When it comes to cars, no favorites cars are just transportation to get us from point A to point B and back without any problems. That has been successful so far. Latest bought a few weeks ago a 2023 KIA Soul. So far so good.
 
I think those wheels were called "Cragers," weren't they? Or "Mags?"
I called 'em both

That's a pic from the web
I never took photos of my early rigs
Just drove 'em to the ground

I did spring for tires with a skinny red stripe
They were popular in the '60s
There was a name, can't remember
Actually, the tires I bought were knock offs
I remember sitting with a girlfriend, in a cafe
By the window
Admiring my tires
Watching them all go flat at the same time
....it was a discount tire shop
