The other night Colleen and I were trying to remember the actual progression of cars that have spent time in our driveways the past eight years. It was harder than either of us realized.
Occasionally I have informally run the list over in my mind, with some success in recall and some confusion as to model year and exact order. With that in mind, it seemed a good idea to try and put the full list down somewhere - and where better than this occasionally updated blog where I set out to chronicle this journey over 10 years ago!
So here it goes... with a couple of notes:
- I may fill in some details in the future, but to start it's just a list.
- I've linked any cars to related blog posts.
- Not all of these cars were primarily mine - some I shared ;-)
