Ok, I'm a little late, as I've been busy. Here's the full list, from 1978 to the present. Some of the cars have clickable links to pictures:

Since moving to the east coast, I've cut the total number of cars I own down quite a bit. I only took my SVT Contour with me to Baltimore when I moved here in '99, but sold it in '01 when I got married. I've since added to the collection here (a family ride that we actually autocrossed: the PT Cruiser. The new autocrosser: Fiat Spyder, and my Jaguar sedan). The others are still at home in Washington state.

'02 PT Cruiser

'78 Dodge Chinook Motorhome
'68 GMC intercity bus/motorhome conversion

There are over a hundred cars I've owned on this list, and that doesn't include the parts cars, and non-runners that have passed through my hands. Some only stayed for a short while, while I customized them and sold them (mostly the VWs). There is a lot of overlap, as many cars were owned at the same time (in different roles). Some of the autocrossers only lasted a couple of events before they were either deemed uncompetetive, or were sold for business expenses (this was while I had my own custom shop...)

As I said, these are cars I've owned since '78, but not all at once! At the top of that list is all that are in my stable right now. That means there are only 4 at my house now (not counting the couple I'm working on for friends, and the Fiat parts car for the one I drive...) The rest are cars I've owned in the past.

In a lot of cases, yes. Especially the VWs and mini trucks. I've got so many ideas for customs that I do an idea, then sell it to do the next...

A couple were kept around for years, however: THe V8 RX7 was with me from '93 to '98, which was a record. the '74 91 was around for 3 years (a couple of them at the same time as the V8 RX7), and a number were around for 2+ years each (the Ranger, SVT, Caddy, Daytona Spyder replica, Falcon lowrider, '81 Citation, first Pinto, etc). But yea, not too many of them were around for more than a few months befopre moving to the next (and I usually would have 5-6 cars at any given time....)

I know, I love them! That's mostly what drew me to the ZX2. Did you see that Ford redid the front end? I like the old style like mine better...

As for mods... Probably not, at least for now. I don't have the money. I'm a full-time college student and I have to spend all my money on school...
