I traded in my vibrant yellow Nova for an extraordinary 1966 white 289 Mustang convertible—a true muscle car that etched its memories into my heart. The visceral experience of breaking the tires loose, the sound, and the intoxicating scent of burning rubber down Main Street remain vivid in my mind.
After the unfortunate demise of my Mustang in an accident that wasn't my fault, I yearned for a vehicle more fitting for a teenager in the '70s. Enter the colossal V8 Roadrunner—a powerhouse that promised to elevate my status while cruising Main Street on the weekends.
My ownership of this car is shrouded in mystery, as my knowledge about it is quite limited. I don't recall having it for an extended period. It seems my beloved Roadrunner encountered some trouble, though the details evade my memory.
While it may not have been a Roadrunner, it certainly added a touch of elegance to the driveway.
As my wedding day with Cassandra Kerber drew near, the need for a reliable car became imperative. Opting for practicality, I chose this as the first car I drove directly off the showroom floor. The experience of walking into a dealership at 19 and making such a purchase made me feel remarkably grown-up. Check out the window sticker.
In an attempt to rebound from the less-than-ideal purchase of the Chevy Vega, we decided to invest in this sleek sports car—a Saab. It was my first time owning a Saab, and to my pleasant surprise, it exceeded my expectations.
Anticipating a company car upon taking a sales position with Pickwick Records in San Jose, California, we bid farewell to the Vega and embarked on a cross-country journey in the Saab. The road trip turned out to be an unforgettable adventure!
This marked the beginning of a decade filled with some less-than-stellar company cars. The inaugural one was a station wagon that had me feeling like a real-life Clark Griswold from "Vacation." Cassandra's incredulous reaction summed it up perfectly, "Really? You're taking a picture of this heap?
After taking a once in a lifetime ocean to ocean cross country driving trip in our 2008 Porsche Turbo, we came home and traded the Porsche in for this fine machine.
I needed to buy a reliable vehicle to carry my bikes and kayaks to the trail and lakes.
After driving all similar vehicles, I decided on a used FJ.
We traded in my old LS 400 with almost 100,000 miles and bought this 2009 LS 460 out of a 3 year lease, the only way to buy a car today.
If you buy it from the dealership, they guarantee the condition and give you extended warranty.
I always wanted to drive a Lamborghini in the wild, so we rented this one in Las Vegas and drove it like we stole it.

Ever since I laid eyes on Tesla's converted Lotus sports car at the L.A. Auto Show, I was hooked. It took seeing a 2013 model outside a Chinese foot massage for me to order my own.
Kara's Lexus was almost 10 years old and we needed to get her a new one, so we found this 2018 coming out of a 3 year lease with only xxxx miles on it. We bought it for xxxxx when they were going brand new for xxxxx, if you could even find one because of Covid!
"The Guzman" is officially mine. A new car is not your own until you have washed it yourself!
I sold my 2007 FJ Cruiser, which had 89,000 miles on it, but now I have learned that that is just over break in for an FJ.
I bought this 2013 model with 36,000 miles. They stopped making them in 2014, so this would be classified as a late model.
It has so many features that my 2007 did not have, like the off-road package, upgraded stereo, backup camera, and must have Bluetooth.
She is ready for some ADVENTURES!
