Ahhhhh...a trip down memory lane.

 

1967 Buick LeSabre - sixteen years old and was gifted this car from a family friend in spring of 1982.  I was able to load up to 8 passengers and we all travelled in comfort (my buddies were hockey, football and volleyball players).  Was a killer car for taking my high school girlfriend in (if you know what I mean, and I'm sure you do).  Lasted me from 1982 to 1985.  Car died in my parent's driveway in Winnipeg.

1977 Dodge Colt - kept me going through my junior university year while I attended University of Manitoba.  Rolled this car on a warm (anomaly) day in January, when I hit a patch of black ice on Waverly Street (which is the same street that I was in a bike accident that required reconstructive facial surgery...I had to move from Winnipeg, because sooner or later, I was going to kill myself on Waverly Street). 

1986 Honda Civic - replaced good old reliable Dodge Colt with this workhorse.

1989 Plymouth Grand Voyager - first company car as a Sales Rep

1991 Dodge Grand Caravan - second company car as Sales Rep

1993 Dodge Caravan - third company car as Sales Rep

1995 Chevy Venture - fourth company car as Sales Rep

1997 BMW 328i - fifth company car, but as Marketing Exec for company I was Sales Rep for

1999 BMW 328i - sixth company car

2001 BMW 528 - seventh company car...got a big promotion and list of cars to choose from was a big upgrade

2004 Toyota Avalon - changed companies at the end of 2003, had a downgrade in company car

2005 Nissan Murano - first personally owned car since 1986 Honda Civic...had to buy my first car in over 16 years.  Bought this one because I loved the goofy design of the first and second generation Nissan Muranos.

2008 Infiniti FX35 - loved the Murano, but wanted more bells and whistles.

2012 Porsche Cayenne - still driving this (sort of).  Longest I've owned a vehicle since I was 22 years old.  My wife has essentially taken possession of this car.  Now, I mainly walk.

 

My wife and I have lived in White Rock since 2012...and now when I go into the city, I take the 351 Express bus and Canada Line.  Best ride I've ever had.

That's my dream car as well. One day when I have access to a shop I plan to rebuild one.
