So did you like old Chryslers? LOL
I have a few friends with them.

his dad has a '72 Plymouth Scamp w/ built 318
Another friend's dad has a Super Bird
One I'm not sure what he has now since I haven't talked to him in 2 years but he had a '64 or so Dart with a 383.
One has a 40something dodge car.
I could keep going.

I guess you could say I like Mopar. I litterally cut my teath on a push rod from a '66 Dart GT convertible... Must have tasted good:huh:

For the longest time I didn't know there was any other kind of car. That is until I was about 10 and one of my dad's friends bought an '82 Caprice Classic. Which I'm told I ran into the front end of a '53 Ford 1-Ton Flatbed. I don't remember that happening but hey what ever. My dream car has always been a '67 Hemi Cuda 440 w/ Hemi heads, Dual Holley 750cfm Spread Bore 4bbl's, 3-speed w/OD, 3.55:1 Dana 60 Posi. Then I could die happy :P
Up by 2200 down by 1500.

#1 (and only) - 2005 Mazda 6i Base <3

Dad's currently driving an '07 TL
My dad has been through plenty of cars though. (in reverse order from what I can remember)
Mazda 6i (currently mine)
Toyota Prius (whenever the redesigned one was first available for sale here, mid 2000s some time probably around 04)
2003 Acura 3.2CL
2002 or 2003 Mini Cooper (whichever year was the first year that they were available in the US as BMW made cars)
I believe he had a Passat Wagon before that (oil pump died or something, rebuilt the engine)
That's as far back as I remember. My dad has also told me he had an MX-6 when he and my mom got married (in 1990)
He also told me he learned to drive on a BMW 2002 (not sure what year)

Mom hasn't has as many cars.
Currently driving an '07 Elantra
Before that it was an early to mid 2000s Honda Pilot of some sort
And before that was an early 2000s Honda CR-V (the second generation)
I believe a late 90s or right around 2000 Chevy Malibu (had to trade it in for the CR-V for more room when we lived in Florida) (her very first new off the lot car)
Before that was a 1990s Audi of some sort from my dad's mother
