I started with a I think it was a 77 Ford Maverick if I remember right. Didn’t own it long. I was in High School when I got it.

Didn’t get another car till 99 when I bought a Saturn. I was graduating college and had no money.

Bought an 04 Blazer in 04. Traded that in 2012 for a 2012 Traverse.

Traded that in for a 2016 Traverse which was one of my dumbest decisions.

Pulled the plug on that one this past weekend for a new 2019 Ram 1500 Classic CC. Very excited about my first Truck!

2001.5 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab, 4x2, 5.9L 24 valve CTD. Great truck until the a/c went out. A/C was great until the first repair then, :(. Then the dash broke, the clear coat started to molt, and the headliner started to drop. We are loving the new 2018 3500 6.7L/ CC/DRW/4x4. If we can get 19 years of service out of the 18 as we did the 01, I'll be happy.

As you can see I have had a varying selection of cars, it was usually correlated to what type of project car/cars I picked up.

Now. 2016 RAM 1500 Limited.
I like the 10. But the Honda seem out of place. Must have gotten married?!

I was driving a lot and I needed something a bit more fuel efficient, plus with a couple of project cars money was getting very tight at that time.

Started off with a 1985 Chevy Caviler Wagon until the head gasket blew.
got a 1989 Pontiac Grand-am from Family. drove until overdrive in transmission failed.
moved to a 1998 Chevy Lumina until the ECU got fried by a short in the wiring.
moved to a new 2004 Ram 1500 ST.
traded ram in for a 2008 Chevy Impala. Drove until transmission failed.
Traded in for a 2014 impala. drove until transmission started to fail.
Traded in 2014 Impala for a 2012 Ram 1500 Bighorn in 2018.

Essentially, I drive most vehicles until they fall apart or something major goes.
So don’t loan you a car! Got it. Haha

Yup, lots of memories. Our cars and truck are part of our life, they change as life does and will continue to. Here are a few pics of my favorites.

I replaced a 2005 regular cab 8 ft bed Dodge Ram. V-6 automatic 2 wd that I ran as a daily commuter for 10 years.
Prior to that I had a 1991 Dodge Ram 250 2 wd 5 speed with a Cummins diesel that I tweaked up. Ran that one for 7 years. I still miss that truck.
