That pretty much covers it except for about 4 random dirt bikes, street bikes and quads.

I only have picks of the last 3, which we still have, so here they are.

1988 F-150 Custom, which was the base model. 302 V8, 4WD and a 5-speed. It came with an AM radio that I "upgraded" to a factory tape deck to run one of those cassette adaptors to play CDs using a Discman. I had this all through high school so like 2000-2003.

 

 

1998 GMC Jimmy SLT. Pretty loaded. I only kept it for a little over a year though from just before HS graduation to just after I got my first real job.

 

 

2003 Silverado. Pretty basic but it had the 4.8, 4WD and an automatic. I had this from the fall of 2004 to early 2008.

 

 

2008 Tacoma and my first new vehicle. Learned from this that Toyota isn't the magically reliable brand most think. It had a clunk that they could never resolve in the front end, a driver front window that rattled unless it was fully opened or closed and what finally pissed me off enough to dump it was the dealer charging me to reprogram a remote that randomly stopped working when it had like 23k on it.

 

 

2010 Subaru Legacy GT. This is with snow tires on it but it was my favorite pic I took of it. Fun car. Turbo engine, manual trans. But I missed having a truck so it got traded after only a year.

 

 

2011 Silverado. One of the few with the color matched grill in my area and the truck that brought me here. Kept this for about 4 years.

 

 

2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Been fun to have this with all the aftermarket stuff out there but it'll probably get traded sometime next year. Not sure for what yet.

While I have no pictures, here they are in order. Everyone of them bought new.

 

1) 2002 Chev Cavalier (totalled in 2005 by hitting a moose)

2) 2005 Pontiac Sunfire (brother later took this vehicle...currently driven at the track and putting down 490 hp

3) 2008 GMC Canyon (bought in university...good truck)

4) 2013 Ford Explorer (traded in Canyon for a SUV for my wife...we were having a kid so needed one)

5) 2016 GMC Sierra

 

That's it....Explorer is 4 years old with under 40,000 kms...so it will last awhile.
