88 Pontiac 6000 Wagon
Astro conversion van

98 Buick Regal
01 Buick Park Ave
03 Chrysler Sebring
99 Mercury Grand Marquis

I think that was all of them that I can remember my parents owning. Mostly boring stuff. Parent's never really cared about cars as it was an appliance to them...

Other than the 1964 Corvette roadster that my dad still has, and has owned since 1974, there was a 69 black deuce and a quarter that was our family car for a while, a Mitsubishi Cordia and an old Buick wagon. A bunch of other cars but those are the earliest I can remember.

Then came minivans and a string of crappy Thunderbirds.

I think my mom was driving a Datsun Station Wagon early on, then a dodge K car Wagon with Wood grain sides which was replaced by a 88 Plymouth Voyager which was replaced by a 95 Dodge Caravan, then a BMW x5, then X3, currently a 3 series Xdrive BMW.

Dad had a Fiat 124 Spider and another Fiat that was the DD. Then both replaced by a Fiero at some point in the late 80's, then a 1991 Eldorado Touring Coupe, then a Dodge Avenger, then an Acura 3.2TL. Currently he has a BMW Z3 Coupe and the DD is a Honda Crosstour.
