My first vehicle was my 82 F100 (see sig). It was beat to hell when I got it, and I beat the ever living crap outta it for another 3 years before the tired 300 stuck a rod through the oil pan. After having it sit around my yard for a couple years I decide to bring it back from the dead, its still a work in progress.

My second vehicle was my 96 F150, my third vehicle was my 86 F150. Bought the 96 to have something nice to drive, and then bought the 86 because I missed having a beater.

Like Ben I've owned quite a few vehicles, although I haven't "flipped" any of them. I mostly buy wreaks or beaters and I scrap them after salvaging and selling any good parts. Just a hobby to keep me busy on my days off, I don't get many done in the winter, but I probably do 15 or 20 over the course of a summer.
