I still remember the day I got my first car like it was today… I got up on my birthday and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes… I wondered downstairs and my parents told me to look out the window at what was in the driveway. To my complete disbelief, there was a sporty looking red coupe sitting in my driveway! It has a big bow on the roof and was wrapped in ribbon. I could barely contain myself! I sprinted downstairs and out into the driveway. It was great!!! I opened the door, got in, and smelled the new plastic. I was the luckiest 3 year old in the world! I drove that little car up and down the sidewalk for weeks until I would ware out my shoes. Now I know how Fred Flintstone must have felt.

You guys have probably had the same car at some point too huh? The little round one with the red doors and yellow roof. Man that thing was sweeet!

1985 Fisher-Price Coupe

Not too many for myself. Only have 4 years under the belt so far.

1- '93 Cadillac STS- loved it, fast and great looking
2- '71 Chevy Monte Carlo- all original and still runs like a charm
3- '97 BMW 540/6- do not know how I could survive without this car. Makes my morning and evening commutes the highlights of my day

Hopefully, I will have plenty more to put on this list within a couple of years.
