First: 2006 Jeep Liberty. Got it as my first car at 15 w/90k. 9 1/2 years later, it's still rolling well at 160k, and I use it as my daily driver.

Second: 2017 Rebel. Got it in March 2018, had it for almost 2 years, and then traded it in. Liked it a lot, but I wanted more.

Now: 2019 Power Wagon. Absolute monster of a truck. The 5-year-old, Ram-truck-obsessed me gets giddy every time I get in it.

2008 Silverado 2500HD. I actually liked that truck alot. But adding power to her was problematic because GM transmissions are rated pretty close to factory output on the trucks. And the early 6L90Es had a few expensive issues to address before any of my plans could be done. But with some as far as a durable work truck with a mild tune it was great. Sold her and bought my Rebel, fixing to whipple that thing and swap the airride for a Carli 2.5" suspension kit.

Before I bought my current Ram I had another Ram. Ive had Dodge trucks since '74. Before that it was Plymouth clear back to '70. Today the whole family has either Ram trucks or Jeeps or both. I guess you could say we like Chrysler products in this house. Although I must confess. The wife has a '67 Stang out back. But her daily driver is a Jeep.

Subaru WRX with all the cool go-fast bits (the missus was always embarrassed by me starting/driving/anything with that car), then an Audi Q5 hybrid, but then my buddy got a Ram 1500 Limited and I couldn't stop thinking about it until I got one!

Nice! I had a 2012 Mazdaspeed3, had some upgrades and a tune, my wife also wasn't a fan, too loud and fast for her, lol.

Before my2018 Ram 1500 Sport Night Edition i had a 2015 Infiniti Q50 winch I loved, but always wanted a Ram... I love the Ram more.

Wow, that 68 Fury III 440 4speed brought back a memory. I had a uncle that had a 69 Fury III that came from the factory with a 318 3 speed on the column (3 on the tree). Never heard of or seen another one!

Yes, I got married and went on our honeymoon in a 1970 Plymouth GTX 440 Automatic, 4.11 dana. Green also. Was one bad car, especially liked the Air Grabber hood with the scoop lifting out of the hood with a flip of a switch. More intimidating than anything but I loved that car!
