Too anonymous I guess. It was my daily driver between the Tercel and the Mini.

It's the only car on the list I don't really remember. I certainly remember the $1 Corsica. From the lady with no teeth.

I sold it to a lady with no teeth for $400. The girl I bought it from had all her teeth (she was a student at UMaine).

I need to add a signature moment for each one of my cars, like the most memorable or coolest thing that happened with it during my ownership.

9. 2005 Cadillac STS 5/13/2017 2.46
10. 1996 Buick Roadmaster 8/18/2017 2.20
So that is formatted like crap. Here is a nice graph.

Average ownership time not counting the 89 Caprice: 6.23 years. I should do miles driven. But this is quite a distribution. Half of them are in the 2-3 year range, though 3 out of those 5 I currently own so the time is just going to rack up.
Only owned 2 more than 10 years. Ranger didn't quite make it. The SRX is an outlier as it is not clustered in the 2-3 range nor is it at or above 10. This makes sense given that it is the wife's car. I don't know that it will stay in the family to rack up big numbers but time will tell obviously.

I dug up a couple old photos of my Z06 at The Dragon in August 2005 during the Killboy Black Friday special. This was my second time visiting, shortly after I moved south.

A couple of random shots including my Z06 from a December 2005 Dragon run that I snagged from the killboy blog.
