I have owned several cars. My favorite color for a car is white because it is cooler in the summer. I use neither the type or color of my vehicle to make a "statement."

 

[spencer rifle]

I have never owned a car with a trunk.

1966 VW Squareback (maroon, 6 volt, mostly Bondo)
1973 Pinto wagon (blue)
1985 Nissan Stanza wagon (gold/brown)
1985 Honda Civic wagon 4WD (light blue, converted to electric)
1983 Subaru wagon (maroon - first with cruise)
1984 Dodge Caravan (maroon - first automatic transmission, inherited)
1995 Plymouth Voyager (blue)
1991 Geo Metro (white)
1993 Geo Metro (light green)
2004 Honda Odyssey (dark gray/green)
2005 VW Golf TDI (silver)
2016 Chrysler Pacifica (silver)
2016 Ford C-Max Energi (silver)

Looks like we've become boring, with all silver and automatics lately. But we never buy new, so we take what the market gives us.

1991 Geo Metro (white)
1993 Geo Metro (light green)

I owned a 1990. 3 cylinder 5 speed 2 door. That tiny little car was a blast to drive.

Conversion began in 1995. Adapter plate made in California, originally built for 12 volt deep cycle batteries (all there was back then), now supplied with Li ions. Charger went out a few years ago and am trying to get it running again. Got about 20 miles per charge, still holds 5 people plus cargo.

My Geos were all 5-door manuals with A/C, which we used sparingly, as it cut into the 50+ mpg. They had a reputation as being slow, but I never noticed that - plenty peppy when not fully loaded. That 3 cylinder engine was the first I ever rebuilt. Hand carried the engine block into the shop to have it rebored. Workers there said they didn't get too many engine blocks carried in.

There's a lot of red.

From 1992-1995 I mainly drove cars we had for sale at the used car dealership I worked for. We dealt mostly in GM trucks, but with a sampling of anything we could get a deal on. I drove whatever had gas at the moment. The 6000, 720 and S-15 were vehicles I sold to myself from the dealership.

I'm 66 and can't remember ½ of the 40-50 vehicles that I've owned. My first car was 61 Dodge wagon with a factory 3 speed on the floor. One of my all time favorites was a 72 Cuda.

One if the fastest cars I've owned was an '88 Acura Integra. Had it up to 135 mph and still had some pedal left, the straight and smooth road was coming to an end in a mile and knew it was time to shut her down.

My current cars are a white 2019 Cheby Malibu, a white 2015 RAM 1500 Tradesmen, a purple 1989 Honda Goldwing and a white 1984 Cheby C70 dump truck. I've always disliked white cars/trucks and now I own 3....

Those Omni 024's, lol. My Shelby Charger was based on the same platform with a turbocharged 2.0l. The original "fast and furious" car!

If you buy used and look for the best deal you end up with cars in colors you would never buy new. One thing about the color of a car - you don't see much of it when you're driving it.

 

[usmcdjb]

Wow do you guys keep a list handy? I go through more cars than your average person I just like them but wow I can’t believe you guys remember them all. In my 30’s and have had well over 20 cars but couldn’t begin to list all of them especially in order.

I have a spreadsheet for everything!

Doesn't have colors but I could go through and fill that in.

One car that isn't mine yet but someday may be, is a 1964 Studebaker Commander with 28,000 miles that my great grandpa bought new. It's green.

I'm a car nut so I can think back pretty well and I haven't owned a bunch of cars personally. I have had a lot of company cars, but they were at times the same model, just a different year and color. Can't remember the years, but can the color for the most part. I may have missed a couple but many, if at all.

Not a car NUT anymore but I really like them lol which leads to lots of changes

First purchased vehicle in my early teens was a Kawasaki F7a 175cc Enduro bike that I plated and drove on the street.

'96 V6 mustang, red

'07 Chrysler 300, burgundy

2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, burgundy

Mine only, doesn't include SWMBO'd vehicles.

 

[marvin02]

Not necessarily in strict order, all inclusive or 100% accurate. Might have the years wrong on a couple.

Wow do you guys keep a list handy?

See my disclaimer.

I made the list by putting in the more memorable ones and then filling in around them. Remembering them in context helps.

I didn't include the three motorcycles I've owned. They were all black

1972 Honda 450

1983 Suzuki GS850GL, I put almost 30,000 miles on this one in two years. A wreck ended it.

1978? Yamaha XS 650, titled in my name because it was stored in my garage and I rode it more than my friend that owned it. So I got a bike to ride for the cost of plates & insurance. My friend got free insurance, storage & maintenance. He rode it a couple of weeks each summer.

 

[JettaKnight]

Another thread made me think of those question.

What were your car colors and makes and models. And for fun of how many cars in a lifetime. How old are you.

Nice try, BMV!

I owned a 1990. 3 cylinder 5 speed 2 door. That tiny little car was a blast to drive.

You know, they actual were, and a surprisingly good fit for tall drivers.
