1978 Chrysler Cordoba (1994) (crashed on a dirt road in Arkansas when I was an exchange student, never officially mine, because of insurance regulations)
1993 French-Spec Ford Fiesta 1.3 2-door (1996-2002) (officially my first car, hit a tree with it and had it fixed in the '90s, sold to a new driver in 2002)
1999 German-Spec Saab 9-3 2.2TiD 2-door 5-Speed (2002-2010) (sold for export or parts at 267k miles when I moved to the US, no accidents, complete maintenance records from new, 45mpg, sad to see it go)
2003 Cadillac Sedan DeVille Premium (2010-2012) (dubbed the Crapillac, my company bought it for me when I moved to the US, luckily they paid for the frequent repairs, the seat heater literally burned my behind once...)
2005 Audi A6 3.2 quattro w/ Premium and Sport Package (wasn't called S-Line until 2006) (2012-2014) (my fist own car after I moved to the US, loved it, used it for equity to pay off my then-girlfriend's, now wife upside-down auto loan)
2005 Lincoln Navigator Luxury 4x4 (2014) (bought it and the Benz when we traded in my girlfriend's upside-down-loan Ford Freestyle and my Audi to have no payments, worst car decision I ever made, sold it shortly after, engine failure with new owner a few months later)
1999 Mercedes-Benz E300 Turbodiesel (2014-2017) (this was awesome, but it also had some rust, strong drive train, sold to a friend in the PNW, because with a new baby we needed something more practical with sliding doors)
2001 Volvo S60 2.4i (2015-2019) (bought from the same friend we sold the Benz to, who bought it at auction, was my daily and worked fine, nothing special, good audio system)
2007 Kia Sedona EX w/ all available options (2017-current) (surprisingly fun engine when in manual mode, auto-tranny totally suppresses otherwise rev-loving engine)
2009 Audi A6 3.0T quattro Avant (2019-current) (a longtime wish come true, 320whp, loads of fun)
