    I'm trying to see if I've succeeded in owning a car make/model for every letter of the alphabet. So far I'm pulling a goose egg on Q, U, and W. No Wrangler, WRX, Urraco, Quest, Quantum, Q45 or QX4 have passed through my hands, can anyone else throw some options out there for those letters? Also counting motorcycles, but I've only had a Kawasaki EX250, Yamaha Seca 650 Turbo, Honda Trail 90, Polaris something or other, and now a Honda 250 4 wheeler. Thanks for the help, I'm down by 2 at the moment, trying to complete the list!!!

    Hmm. Since you said WRX- I'll assume there's a little bit of sub-model cheating allowed. That gives you the Trans Am ws6, the Oldsmobile Cutlass w-30, the Citation X-11. You also have the Suzuki X90, and the Nissan Xterra. I'll go ahead and assume you probably have never owned an Ultima.....

    Already have the X covered with X1/9 (Fiat & Bertone versions!), no w-30 or WS6. My buddy used Z-71 instead of Silverado, so I'm willing to go with options like that Haven't owned a Qvale, so hoping for more models or sub-models. No Quattros either

    Nissan Ultima? Maserati Quattroporte? Or were you looking for something that cost less than a house?

  • Sept. 3, 2010 8:25 p.m. Knurled HalfDork

    Quantums are FUN! They're like Audis except without the parts availability.

    Speaking of... Audi quattro? (The car, not the trim level - usually known as the ur-quattro)

    Q41/Q45?

    Had a Nissan Altima, and an Audi 4000s, but not a quattro. No Q series. How cheap are they now? May have to buy one for a week just to knock that one off the list. That, a WRX, and a Ural, and I can close the door on that list!

    Hornet X, Gremlin X, and Matador X could also work.

    I've got X covered, I've had about 40-50 X1/9s. Seriously. The old time Fiat guys from Mirafiori probably remember me :) Q, U, and W are the only 3 letters I'm missing. I've had Silverados, F150s, Dodge van, Astro Van, Audi, Alfa, Bertone, Camaros, Corvette, Pathfinder, EX250 Ninja, Yamaha Seca 650 Turbo, TR-7 convertible, Fiat 2000 Spiders, 124 Spiders, Lancia Scorpion, Beta Sedan, Zagatos, Rabbits, 2002's, 320i's, 325is, 318i, Acura Integra, Isuzu Trooper, Subaru GL, Miatas out the wazoo, RX-7s, Yugos, Golf, Odyssey, heck, I've lost track of what all I've owned in the last 20 years

    Nope! He NEEDS the Ural. Gotta be a 375D though. Anything else is just a truck, as opposed to an ugly, large, Russian truck. And for "K", I'd go with Kraz, myself.
