OK, I'll play...hmmm...let me see if I can remember them all:

1981 Toyota Starlet - You never forget your first
1987 Toyota 4X4 - Went anywhere I pointed it
1990 Buick Quad 4 - Low end sports car awesome engine terrible everything else
1979 Fiat X1/9 - Smallest car on the road and a total gas to drive. You didn't get in this one, you put it on
1992 Daihatsu Rocky - Small, dependable, fun, go anywhere vehicle
1987 Honda Shadow 700 - Excellent first motorcycle
1994 Honda ST1100 - Even better second bike, too fast for me
1979 Harley Davidson Shovelhead - Well it got a lot of attention
1972 International Scout - Came with the wife, only got about 6MPG still, lots of fun
1995 Subaru Impreza - 263,000 and still going strong
1992 Honda Gold Wing SE - The ultimate road sofa
1994 Honda Shadow 1100 - I thought I would never sell this one, a friend offered me too much for it, wrecked it two weeks later
1980 Toyota P/U - Bought from neighbor for $300, rebuilt motor, sold to neighbor's son for $1,200
1984 Honda Gold Wing 1200 - Rat bike
2000 Jeep Cherokee - Excellent family vehicle
1993 BMW K1100LT - Yeah, it was OK...don't really miss this one
2001 Honda Gold Wing 1800 - If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand, just an awesome machine
1996 Pontiac Firebird Formula - 280 horses to the ground...

I think that's all of them. Honestly, the one I miss the most is really a three way tie between the 1800 Wing, the '87 4X4 and the Fiat. Each has a niche that no other vehicle can fill. And I will cry when my Subaru finally gives up the ghost.

Anyone got an X1/9 they want to sell?

1982 Corvette (new) ... two tone grey w/ ivory seats
Did you have the Pace Car edition? Or was that a different year? I don't remember. I've always loved this body style and those colors just made my little heart race. :D

You are correct, Rolex.....'83 was a transition year with the next generation car coming out in '84..... Would love to still have that '82, but it did sell high when I let it go !
I don't know much about Corvettes, but I know this one tidbit...

They were behind in their development of the new body style, but had already announced its release for 1983 so they had stopped production of the C3 body style. There was no official 1993 Corvette, but they released the 1984 in June of 1983, I think. So, a low serial number 1984 is really a 1983 car.
