Wait! There's more!

When I made our car list yesterday, I forgot one! Vehicle #31 on our list is...

a 1967 Vespa! Jordan bought this last December. We had visions of using it as a fun date night vehicle when the warmer weather came around, but he ended up selling it before then. He did make $1600 off the thing though, so I didn't care!



Okay, I think that's it now! :)

The Continuing Saga of the Miller's Many Motors

About a year and a half ago, I blogged a list of cars that Jordan and I have had since we have been together. It was quite extensive. And it has continued to grow! So, here is the list again, with some new additions!

1. 1990 Toyota Camry (My first car. I loved that thing.)
2. 1986 Mazda 323 (Jordan kept willing the thing to die. It did.)
3. 1979 Nissan Z 290 (Jordan bought this right after we started dating, and sold it after just a few weeks. That should have been my first clue about Jordan's motor vehicle obsession!)
4. Suzuki Savage Motorcylce
5. 1989 Astro Van (Given to Jordan by his parents to replace a dead Mazda)

ENTER THE MARRIAGE YEARS

6. 1990 Ford Bronco (Because we didn't want a mini van when we had no children)
7. 2002 Toyota Corrolla (which is the only brand new car we have ever had)
8. 1972 Chevy (which didn't stick around long)
9. 1998 Ford F-150 (Jordan still whines to this day about missing his truck!)
10. 1998 Saturn SL(totaled)
11. 2000 Triumph motorcycle (Purchased without permission!)
12. 2001 Ford Windstar (now making the move to minivans for real)
13. 1973 Porsche 914 (The car that started the Porsche obsession)
14. 1990 Porsche 911 (Also purchased without permission. I think Jordan still cries in his sleep over the loss of this vehicle.)
15. 2004 Ford Freestar
16. 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo
17. 1983 Porsche 911 Targa

18. A boat (Does that count on this list?)1983 Checkmate
19. 1983 (or 1984?) Volkswagen Rabbit
20. 1990 Volkswagen Jetta
21. 2004 Mini Cooper
22. 2008 Buick Enclave (Done with mini-vans!)
23. 1984 Porsche 928 S
24. 1996 BMW M3.

Do Jordan's work issued vehicles count on this list too? If so...
25. Work van
26. New odd little squashed looking van he got a few weeks ago. This thing really is funny looking!

And the list goes on...
27. A 1995 Ford F-150- Jordan got this truck by trading our two kayaks! It stayed around for maybe six months before
he sold it.
28. 2005 Pontiac Montana (AKA the Golden Goose)- Remember when I said we were done with mini vans forever? I lied. When we bought our new house, the Enclave monthly payment was just going to be too much. We LOVED the Enclave, and getting rid of it was painful. But we knew it was the right thing to do.
29. 1996 Audi A4- We have had this vehicle for about 3 weeks now. Jordan found it for $800 on Craigslist. It was not running. Jordan went to check it out, and had it running in minutes. And he still got it for $800. We bought it because we needed a second car around.


Then, about a week and a half ago, a day after a big snowstorm, I was driving home from my inlaws when someone driving the opposite direction slipped on a patch of snow and slammed right into the Golden Goose. Luckily, everyone involved in the accident was okay. My van, not so much. It was totaled. The Golden Goose had laid an egg.
So that leads to number 30 on our list...

30. 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan- We plan on keeping this one for a long time. We'll see if that really happens! :)
