Had them KMC slides on my 00 Tahoe in 24s. Wish I kept them around for my Yukon. Traded them for the A/T look.

Haven't really owned that many due to the fact that I usually drive them until they are dead. Wasn't a picture taker until lately, but somewhere I have some Polaroids of my old Road Runner.
1969 Ford LTD with a 390. College car.
1973 Ford Torino with a 302. College car.
Both of these were northern cars so they were rust buckets, but I learned to work on cars keeping them running on a shoestring budget.
1981 Pontiac Grand Prix. 6 cylinder. Probably the worst car I've ever owned, but the interior was nice.
1971 Plymouth Road Runner. 440 Wedge out of an older Belvedere. Bottom end was decked, align honed, and balanced by Malcolm Durham's Speed Shop (Maryland). Heads were done by Modern Machine out of Old Town Alexandria. Broke the cross frame and twisted and cracked the K-frame on a particularly hard launch which resulted in a full cage being welded to the frame rails. Virginia Spring and Alignment welded the frame back together and some company down on St. Barnabus Road in Maryland welded the cage in. No back seat, no carpet, no sound deadener, no heat, no radio, no power brakes (motor didn't make enough vacuum at idle to support the power brake booster). Drove the car to work and back for 13 years like this. Used to set off car alarms trying to idle it out of my subdivision. Vitamin C Orange with a flat black hood. I loved that car, but my wife hated it with an unholy passion.
Purchased a 1987 Buick Grand National. Kept it stock for two weeks.
Things got a little out of control from there. Long story short, when it was done (are they ever really done?), it had Stage 2 heads, red stripe injectors, larger turbo, larger intercooler, adjustable wastegate, plastic hood, plastic front bumper with aluminum mounts, completely aftermarket rear suspension, custom driveshaft, GNX wheels with larger tires, Applied Technologies fuel management system, no cat, 3" dual exhaust, electric fuel pumps, and an Art Carr custom transmission with a 9" torque converter. Pushed 23 pounds of boost through it, launching with 9 pounds showing on the gauge. Had to strap the motor to the driver's side frame rail with two 4" nylon ratchet straps. Was still driving the car to work and back like this for 14 years while it constantly evolved. Sold it with 235,000 miles because it was frankly (in my opinion) getting unstreetable. The 1-2 shift was a thing of pure violence and the car wouldn't even begin to move until it got to 2,500 RPM. It would eject the cassette tape and send it into the back seat when it would hit second gear. Sold it because I was getting too old to work on it every weekend and it was beginning to crack behind the opera window on the driver's side.
Bought a C5 convertible Corvette. Kept it "mostly" stock and it still lives in my garage on a battery tender and goes to the golf course and back.
Daily driver is a 2006 GMC Sierra crew cab dually with an LBZ Duramax and an Allison behind it. Great hauler. Good truck. Currently has 201,000 on it.
Wife has the 2014 Yukon XL.
Also owned a 1996 (4th Gen) Honda VFR. Sold it two years ago because I don't need it to commute any longer since I retired and people are simply too distracted nowadays to safely ride. Used to use it to commute because I could use the HOV lane with it on 66.

Of all of them, the only one to ever let me down on the road requiring roadside assistance was the 2007 LR3. The fuel gauge started being off by 1/4 tank, unbeknownst to me, leading me to believe I still had plenty of fuel when in fact the tank was empty. I have been very lucky in my car ownership over the years for their dependability.
Just a few pictures of some of them. I still have the Acura - probably my favorite of all of them:

Merry Christmas @Fubar0715 , pretty impressive list yourself. I’m sure there are a few you wish you still had in your stable.

I don't have any pictures that I can readily post up yet, but I'll do some digging and see if I can add them later. Not a ton of cars for me, I guess I have a problem with letting them go... I still have three of them.
1971 Chevelle (First car, inherited at age 3 from my grandmother. Daily drove it in high school at 16 and still have it today.)
1991 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (Daily driver in college) (sold)
1972 Chevrolet C20 (getting tear down and rebuild)
2004 Volkswagen R32 (Totaled in 2005)
1992 Volkswagen Jetta (Wish I had this car back)
2004 Volkswagen R32 (Replacement for the wrecked one. Never should've sold it... really wish I could get this one back)
2005 Volkswagen Jetta GLI (sold)
2008 GMC Yukon Denali (Current daily and long haul family cruiser)

a while back I made the mistake of asking my BMV guy, who I have dealt with for a LONG time to run the titles i have had. List was 61...granted I do a flip now and then , but damn....
So I am not listing here, because I am way to lazy to type that much...
Still have 2 trucks, one car, a Travel trailer and 5 motorcycles at the house....
