92 Pontiac Grand Prix(Step dad pegged the temperature out. That car was the most reliable car besides the escort.

1999 Dodge durango(was leased)

Dodge caravan(Don't remember the year.)

2006 Dodge dakota. Love this too.

1996 ford escort with a 95 heart. Love that car.

1985 Dodge Diplomat
1996 Ford Ranger
1975 Ford LTD
1965 Pontiac LeMans
2011 Dodge Dakota
2012 Dodge Ram 1500
1972 Dodge Dart

I never should have got rid of the Dakota or the LeMans. I miss the Diplomat too; you can't beat having a corduroy-covered couch as your front seat.

1999 Honda Accord - bought it in '04 - best car I have ever owned. no troubles with that car - sold it 2009 for $4000.00 with 210,000kms. Sold withing an hour after posting it - We only buy Hondas now after that car (for the family)
2006 Honda Accord - nice car but just didn't like it as much as the '99
2004 Honda CRV - wifes car - still have it
2002 Dakota - finally moved into a "2 vehicle" family.
