Also, note to Mazda: MX-6, 2 Protege's, NA Miata, FB & FC RX-7, and 2 Mazda5's... Maybe you ought to make that RX-Vision so I can buy one? I'd even buy new!

I can't really say many were bucket list cars, but some of them turned into bucket list items if that makes sense. I also for the life of me cannot get bullet points to work with formatting.

The cars currently on my bucket list:

03-05 wrx/wrx sti

69 GTO

Any year el camino

97 miata with turbo

Any pre 76 bronco

Big diesel mud truck. Preferably a 7.3

Oddly, these all cost about the same.

I was bored about 5 years ago and started a list. Those that I could remember were just over 100 (including parts cars). I have sold/purchased more since. We didn't have bucket lists when I started. Just bought them, drove them, sold them. Always looking for the next one.

I'm only 28, but i'm a super lightweight here. Not counting what was clearly my wife's, and not counting leases, i have owned 4 (in order of acquisition, kinda):

-1987 E-150 Conversion Van
-1998 VW Jetta GLS 5-spd
-2009 RX8 R3
-1988 323 GTX

I still own 3 of them (ditched the jetta when everything started falling off). I still own the very first vehicle i drove alone after getting my driver's license, the econoline. My first new car ever was the RX8, and i have never lost the desire to continue owning it from day 1. If anything, it went up after i did some autox. The 323 GTX was something I lusted after as a 12 year old with a rally car obsession. Then, i saw one for sale that was in beautiful, non molested shape. I'd buy another 323 GTX given the chance, space, and money. I don't plan on getting rid of any of those 3. Ever. They're mine. I don't care if it means i can't buy anything new. I'll live. I drive my wife's car for most stuff anyway. It's a newer, leased car with child seats for kids safety.

How the hell does one acquire 45 rabbits? Did you have two and leave them alone together without checking under their skirts?
