My memory only goes back so far, but I'm pretty sure my dad owned a couple of Mustangs in the 60's, a Jaguar, and some Saabs.

Of note, he owned several Porsches, not simultaneously:
This is more than 20 years ago, probably around 30 to start the series.
Red 911 Carrera
Black 911 Carrera
911 Cabriolet
944
928
Black 911 Carrera (About 19 years ago) So in a 11 year span I guess. I could look up the exact models during this time and ask my folks to dig up old pics after Finals Week hehehe. Many of the were European Delivery, and thats how we got into German Cars.

After that, we did alot of Mercedes bceause of our business.
Chevy Suburban
560SEL
R107 560SL
W124 300TE 4-Matic Wagon( a couple different ones for Service Wagons)
W124 300E 4-Matic Sedan 1991
Red G280...Gray Market old thingy...that barely runs....
W210 E320 4-Matic Wagon

W210 E430 4-Matic

Porsche CarreraS 997
G55 AMG currently....

It IS tragic James! My grandfather (mum's father) still suffers sugnifical brain injury while grandma (mum's mother) and her brother (mother's again) were killed. They were driving around 120-130km/h and a truck just hit them. His fault. But two deaths are two deaths. My uncle had borrowed the car for that day...

We currently have.
1987 190E 2.3 my first car used
1998 Audi A4 2.8Q my winter car (my sister drives it now) used
2001 ML320 Moms, bought new
2007 E350 my daily driver (special lease)
Dad has a (cough cough) 96 Saturn (cough cough) we just don't understand why

We had.
1989 Toyota Camry, sister got from Grandma, gave to cousin
1992 Dodge Grand Caravan used
1988 Ford Tempo (we will never buy another Ford) used
1979 Chevy Malibu dad blew up the engine used from grandparents
1976 Buick Regal Dad's first car new (ate through anything that got in its way)
1978 Datsun B210 Mom's first car used
1983 Saab 900 very used Dad drove it when he spent 9 months in German for the Navy
Heat did not work, a/c did not work, died when it rained. When we went out to visit him we were out shopping when the exhaust fell off. It was the loudest car I have every heard on the road, it also lots all acceleration which made it interesting when we made a wrong turn and got onto the Autobahn tring to get home. It did get up to about 55MPH in a few miles.
