Driving in this morning I was thinking about all the cars I have owned over the years. So I thought I would pass along and write them down while I can remember them all.  I started driving in 1986 (on my own) when I turned 16 - I was a Jr. in High School before I was able to drive.  I linked to a picture of each (first I could find via Google).

• 1983 Chevrolet Citation - bought from a fleet used with nurses.  It wasn’t pretty but at 16 you are just happy to have something to get you where you want to go
• 1983 Volvo Turbo - looked like every other square Volvo from its day but it packed a little something extra.  Of course it also need a new Turbo while I had it, that any many other things
• 1987 Alfa Romeo Milano Verde - this thing would fly.  On one occassion I hit 90mph in 3rd gear.  Recaro seats and Momo steering wheel and Italian styling made it one of my favorites
• 1991 Alfa Romeo 164L - Italian sedan with less of a sporty feel and more of a luxury sedan.  While I missed the sporty nature of the Milano it was nice to have more features and comfort
• 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS - large and fast and my first brand new car.  I finished college and decided I would buy myself a new car.   It had the Corvette engine and lots of room and a bear to park but I had fun with it.
• 2000 GMC Yukon - moved to the SUV to give myself a little more functional space.  WIth two large dogs and a old house I needed the flexibility to carry and haul all sorts of things.
• 2003 GMC Yukon - enjoyed the first one so I upgraded to another new one with more features.  Thankfully I got out of the large SUV before the gas prices started heading north.
• 2005 Honda Odyssey - we found out our second daughter Marin was on her way and I said we needed to get a Minivan - a few weeks later I was driving the cream of the crop for Minivans and haven’t looked back.  It has carried our family with ease and handles like a car.

I will likely add a new one this fall but that covers my list of cars so far.
