1952 Pontiac, my Grandpa's
1972 Fiat 124 Spider (new)
1975 Pontiac Trans Am 455 HO (new)
1978 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 (new)
1974 Toyota Corolla, the deerslayer!
1978 Fiat 124 Spider (had a thing for those)
1983 S10 Blazer 4x4 (new), first one in SK
197? Chev Biscayne, ex gov't.
1990 Chev 1/2 ton 4x4 (new)
1986 Buick Century, formerly Mom's
1996 Chev 1/2 ton ext. cab diesel 4x4 (new)
1999 Chev crew cab diesel 4x4 (new), aka the Hutterite truck
2001 Jetta 1.8t (new), my wife's
2003 Chev 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel (new)
2005 Chev 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel (new)
2007 Audi A4 (new), my wife's
2007 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel (new)
2009 Audi A3 (new), my wife's
2009 Touareg TDI (new)
Wow, that's quite a list and I left out about half a dozen older 1/2 tons and 4x4's that I
drove into the ground chasing cows and such. When I got 'em they were bad and when I was done, so were they. Throughout most of the '80's and '90's we had a car only good enough to get to town and one good truck to get to the city or travelling any distance. I was lucky to have many new vehicles in my life, even paid for a few!
