I decided to repost and update the list of all of the vehicles we have ever
owned, now that Erick is 33 and he's always managed to own one vehicle for every
year he's been alive. (He said it's a personal goal of his.)
$100--Chevy
Citation, ’82, red and rust
$50--’84 Renault Alliance, red
$100--’72
Ford pick-up, blue
$0--Tan Dodge D50 with wooden homemade bed, ’82 or ‘84
(This had an unique feature--the passenger side door didn't close right. We
nearly lost our chaperone a few times when we were out courting.)
$500--’79
gold Chevy pickup
$100 plus trade--’79 White Caprice (This is the car we had
when we got married)
$1000--’87 Chevy S10, 2 tone gray
$0--Blue
Chevette, ‘88 (This is the car we had when Jay was born)
$1000--Gray Ford
Tempo, ’87 (first loan)
$500--’76 Chevy Crew Cab, red
$3000--’87
Oldsmobile, Delta 88, blue (second loan) We gave this one to Erick's sister
after she helped us for six weeks when Erick was in the hospital.
$100--plus
trade (he traded the red Chevy Crew Cab--one of the worst deals we ever made!)
78 Ford F100, sea green
$0--Brown Chevy Van, ’87 (we never actually drove
this one--Dad gave it to us, but we never came and got it so he gave it to
someone else.)
$50--Red Dodge with no engine, ’84 or ‘85 (Erick tried and
tried to fix it but finally gave up.)
$0--Pontiac Parnesian? (We fixed it up
and gave it to a single mother who needed a car.)
$500--Ford Ranger, ’84,
black
$800--Burgandy Chevy Van that we got in Decatar, ‘87
$500--Tan
Dodge Van from Erick's parents, ‘86. (I'm not sure if we actually paid them for
it, though. I think we finally just gave it back to them because we couldn't
come up with the $500.)
$1000--White Jeep Wagoneer, 4X4, ’79, (The back
window kept falling out. He bought this when he had his newspaper route.)
$0--’77 Ford F150 Extended Cab, Long bed, bad blue and black paint job.
$0--Brown ’75 Ford Crew Cab. This was given to us by a friend, but he
couldn't find the title. Erick parked it down by his Mom and Dad's house before
we moved to Missouri, and Erick’s family eventually got tired of having it
around and got rid of it.
$8500--’98 gold Ford Windstar. Third and biggest
loan. Sold it for way too little. First vehicle we bought when we moved to
Missouri. We wished we would have kept it. It was nice.
$1200--’87 Mazda
323, gold, dependable until the wheel fell off.
$2200--’87 Suburban, blue.
This is what we bought for the family when we sold the Winstar.
$1000--'88
Ford Ranger. This was his grandpa's truck. I just added this in because we
forgot to list it earlier.
$500--’89 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon, rust in
abundance.
$1000--’94 blue Buick Skylark. Died the day we moved.
$0--Blue ’84 Ford Van, given to us by a homeschool family.
$1650--Mecury
Grand Marquis, white, ‘92
$800--Dodge Ram B150, white, ‘94
$4200--Dodge
Grand Caravan, blue, 2004. We still own this one and are still driving it. It
seats eight. We paid it off, the transmission went out, we took out another loan
to put a new transmission in, and just recently paid it off again.
$2600--Ford Ranger, gold, 2000. Erick wrecked this truck after owning it for
not even a year. Someone rear-ended him.
$4250--Dodge Dakota, maroon, 2001.
Paid for this truck with the insurance money from Erick's wreck. And now he's
about to trade this one even for number 32--
Chrysler Town and Country mini
van, gold, '99.
We also have a gold Honda Goldwing '85 that I don't know
if I should include in this list or not. It's not running and he put in a fence
in exchange for it. It's sort of a vehicle, although it's of the two-wheeled
variety. If I count that one then it makes 34 vehicles that my husband has
owned.
So now that makes 33 vehicles not counting the motorcycle! I guess that means he
can't buy one when he's 34.
