Assuming you don't count the Suzuki motorbike, a 1966 Chrysler Valiant running on 5 cylinders.

A bottle green Austin 1100 which I bought with some of the money I received from selling my beloved Suzuki GSX 250.

For me, a brand new 1956 ford station wagon my folks just bought for our upcoming trip to Alaska, well more than a trip, but anyway, it was a nice car to learn in. Next was a car I bought at age of 18, for $35.00 from a boarder who didn't have enough money to pay rent, so that and a guitar was the price of room and board🙂 So it was covered with years of leaves, a 1948 Buick, looking like an upside down leave filled bathtub on wheels🙂 But it was MINE ALL MINE... We put in a new battery and lo and behold, it started right up and I was off an running. Insurance? We didn't need no stinking insurance🙂
