I was on track to keep up with most of you nutjobs but I've been really satisfied with my corral for the last 15 or so years. I'm 51, this list starts in 1987. Also screw yall I'm making an effortpost. 1) 1965 Volvo 122. First car, first love, still my favorite car to this day.  2) 1967 Volvo 122. Parts car, no pics scanned in yet. 3) 1964 Honda 90. My uncle is on it because he was a bike guy. I'm the nerd in the turquoise striped shirt. I got this bike for $75 in 1988.  4) 1970 Volvo 142. It's a frankenstein so the headlights and doors are wrong.  5) 1974 Volvo 142. This car was a parts car but it was my only running car when I got married so I took it on the honeymoon. We smelled like gas when we got there.  6) 1986 Volvo 760 Turbo. First "adult" car. I was 25 or so. Also my first "rebuilt from minor wreck" car. It came out great.  7) 1979 Volvo 242. Only had this car 6 months as it had a blown rear main seal and I just gave it to my dad when I decided not to fix it. It's in the background of the 1800 picture below. 8) 1967 Volvo 122 parts car. No pics. 9) 1967 Volvo 122. When I realized it was going to cost me multiple thousands to recondition my chopped first car, I found this one for only $4300 and bought it. It was in 100% original and mint condition. So much so that I couldn't modify it and sold it very soon after buying it. Nothing but regret ever since.  10) 1971 Volvo 142E. It was a beater I got for $600. I fixed it a bit and got it running perfect. It got me through college and I sold it for $1300.  11) 1972 Volvo 1800E. Bought this from the son of the Portland Trailblazers' doctor. he owned it since new and his kid wrecked it. We bought it and pulled the rear frame planning to build it in to a custom. The project died and it became a donor for my current 122, this is the only photo.  12) 1994 Volvo 940. Traded the 86 for this car, second "adult" car, also rebuilt from minor wreck. Left it with the ex wife in the divorce, she took it over 11 years to 275k miles and it was falling apart.  13) 1993 Saab 900. My first non-Volvo, my divorce/midlife crisis car. Also rebuilt from minor wreck. My second convertible since the 122 with the hacksawed roof.  14) 1994 Volvo 940 Turbo. Never shoulda sold this one, I could have gotten a couple decades out of it. Not really rebuilt, it was a clean title theft recovery car.  15) 1991 Volvo 940 SE Turbo. I only sold the previous car to buy this one. This was my first project thread posted on SA, rebuilt from a minor wreck. It had an idle vibration that I couldn't eliminate so even though it was intended to be my "never sell it" car, I quickly moved on.  16) 2004 Volvo C70 HPT Convertible. I sold the Saab and quickly regretted not having a convertible again. Also I worked 2 jobs and got some nice extra cash so I got this. Rebuilt from a wreck, this was my 2nd project thread on SA.  17) 1997 Volvo 960. Sold the 91 to get this, the most perfect car I'd had in my life. Rebuilt from a wreck, this was my 3rd project thread on SA.  18) 2001 Volvo V70 T5M. Realized I needed a wagon and also wanted a stick shift. I had this car for 8 years. Rebuilt from a wreck, this was my 4th project thread on SA.  19) 1966 Volvo 122. Finally financially able to add a 3rd car to my life and relive the teenage years. This car became the recipient of a bunch of parts off the '72 1800 above. Still have this car. Still an active thread on the motor swap but it's been down for 8 years.  20) 1998 Volvo S70 T5M. Parts car for the 5 cylinder swap into the 122.  21) 2003 Volvo C70 HPT Convertible. Wrecked the 04 convertible in 2012. Immediately bought another silver body with blown motor and transferred the entire guts of the car into it. Still have this car. My 6th project thread on SA.  22) 2005 Volvo V50 T5 AWD. I still own this car but it's my daughter's. Rebuilt from a very minor crash, my 7th project thread on SA.  23) 2006 Volvo V70R. Sold the 01 to get this. This car hurt me. In my butt. I don't want to talk about it. The details are in my 122 thread.  24) 2006 Volvo V70 2.5T. current daily driver, can't love it more. The details are also in my 122 thread.  I'd have a bigger list but since 2009 I've only changed cars 3 times, and once was involuntarily. I guess I'm happy now.
