How much have you wasted on vehicles over the years & what have you driven.
Here's my list of previuo rides in no particular order,

td cortina,
xe falcon,
2 x mazda 808,
mazda rx3,
2 x mazda rx7,
diahatsu rocky,
subaru brumby,
2 x toyo hilux,
suzuki sierra,
hyaundi excel,
toyo 80 series,
toyo bj40 shorty,

Untold wealth in motors, spend over 10k on the corry, 22k on the rx3, 15k on the xe, 30 odd on the 80 & now the gu owes us close to 45k.

There's a thread somewhere else on here about what cars we've owned but my list isn't as long as yours mate...
VB commodore
GQ patrol wagon...didn't spend much on this because I was in the early 20's and had no money
XF ute with a 351 shortblock cleveland, LSD, mudterrain tyres...lol and a 4 speed top loader...My brother and I spent a bit of money on this one...Especially when we lost a bolt and decided to just put the engine back together and then after cranking it over soon realised where that missing bolt was....crunch bang crunch....There goes 5k...lol
FJ45 cruiser...yep...lol
The mighty Bluey...Spent 2k so far and expect to add another "0" to that in the next 2 years...lol

Seems that you can never justify the amount of money spent on cars...... I'm up to my 34th Vehicle and have had 9 bikes as well. The second hand market is good. At least if you have bought a lemon your not kicking yourself for the wasted mega $ lost in trying to rectify or get rid of it. My last New vehicle was before marriage (26 years ago) and that was a mongrel Mitsubishi Sigma wagon. With the problems it had I was better off ditching it after 11 months.... and it wasn't even yellow!
