What Did You Drive Before?

[TheYankeeMarshal]

This has probably been asked before, but what car(s) did you drive recently before getting your S650 Mustang? In the past several years I have gone through multiple vehicles (I have a serious problem, but no point in saving for old age. when you're already old). The only one I kept for two years was the Camaro SS which I traded for the Subaru WRX (which I loved). The only car I have come back to was the mustang (Although I did have Jeeps before the one pictured, but I am too old now to wrestle my car daily just to keep it on the road.. Having tried the big three American "Muscle" cars I decided it was the one for me. I will mist the WRX though. If only it had been available as an STI.

PS: You might also notice I do at least some graphics on each car to stand out from the pack a bit. Punisher, Deadpool, Resident Evil, Nightwing, Venture Bros.). I am thinking venom for the S650.

F-150s since 2017, bought a house and traded my 2015 Ecoboost in on a 3.5 Ecoboost F-150. Took a few years but I can finally afford two cars, bought the grabber blue GT I always wanted. Now I drive two 5.0l 10r80 vehicles. Lol

Nice combo. We have one of the Maverick Lobos (it does not have a V8) to go with the Mustang (and my old 1994 Silverado which does have a V8).

Ford did a good job with the Maverick. A lot bigger inside than I was expecting.

I don’t have pictures of them all, I’m 61 and it’s a bit of a long list. Based on what I could afford at the time and sometimes craving luxury like the 300M, but then missed exciting cars. I started driving in 1982, so even though my first car was only 8 years old, it was a heap. Cars have come a long way since!

In order:
1974 Gran Torino
1979 Mustang Ghia 5.0
1986 Ford Escort
1972 Camaro
1984 Monte Carlo
1986 Camaro RS
1991 Camaro Z28
1998 Camaro Z28
2000 Chrysler 300M
2001 Plymouth Prowler
2006 Mustang GT
2025 Mustang GT

On hand I have pictures of the last 3.

I drove a 2018 Camry.

Big change. You used to be a 65 year old white man I assume.
