The only car I've had that was the same year as me was actually just a parts car.

I've aged a lot better than it had.

Use to drive two cars from 75 on a regular basis. The first was a 75 FSP Scirocco I would co-drive on occasions. It looked like the car below except in red. It was a lot of fun to throw around.

The Second was my good friend's from HS 75 Firebird formula. Definitely not as nice as this one but it looked the same. I had no desire to own either though.

Almost. I have owned a 1979 Triumph Spitfire and a 1979 Honda CX500, which is one year off.

Owned a 76 Toyota pickup for a little while.

It was an ugly Mint Green, but the 22R block with a 20R head was a great powerplant for that little truck.

1960 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. Actually built on my birthday and delivered to Oklahoma 2 months later.

My E30 325iS was a 87 model year, but had 10/86 production date. Which, now that I think about it, is within a month of my production date, despite being an '87 model.

So, I'm going to go with "Yes, affirmative".

I had a 1964 Impala SS back in high school……..loved rowing thru those 4 gears. Now have my Grandfathers 1964 C10, that he bought a month after I was born and died a year later. [URL=http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/RogueRace/media/1964SS1983_zps68bf2e36.jpeg.html][/URL]

I had a 1976 911 Targa for about a year. Definitely should have held on to it longer. My crystal ball sucks by the way.

It's funny you should post this, I troll Craigslist looking for cars of my birth year...I am holding out hope that one day I will find the well preserved E21 323i of my dreams...

I now own a 95 E320, just one year younger than me. I love the quality of Benzes from this era (older ones, not 96 and on), but OBD1 is a new challenge to me.

I owned this one in High School, 1966 Mustang V8 4spd

Current Situation, 1966 Ford T5 289 3spd disc brake car

And its parts car....

Nothing really "good" from my birth year of 1980. I suppose a Firebird or Camaro with a better motor might be "okay". I wouldn't mind a Porsche either but I'm not holding my breath for that.

The most likely car I would own is probably a 1980 VW Caddy in Mountain Green or a 1980 Scirocco.

In the meantime I'll call my 1984 GTI "close enough".

So you were one of those "born again" people. Twice over?

I had a 67 Alfa GT Jr, but that got redundant when I picked up another GTV.

Had some serious want for a Giula SZ of my wife's vintage, but never did it.

That is funny!

For my 40th birthday I bought a 72 MG Midget roller. Based on the VIN code it is actually a 74, the year I was born.

My 1959 Sunbeam Alpine, running a Tiger drive train. The car was a "bitsa" that someone had pieced together using a 260, and added a 4 barrel holly. The side pipes were not much more than burned out glass packs.

I worked at the Highlands Inn, just south of Carmel. When I left work at mid-night I was told that they could here me until I pasted Point Lobos.

When I sold the car I saved the stock 2 barrel carburetor air cleaner. No, it's not for sale.

Nope. Not yet. I'm sure I will someday since I love me some 90s beaters. Closest was the '92 BMW.

77 was the year I was born and I have a 77 Blazer Chalet. Just tried to buy a 77 911 to go with my others, but they decided to keep it.

68 Rambler (and still own it). Lots of other '68s I'd love to have, but at least I could afford this one.

Kids. Not too many to choose from for 1946. Oldest I've owned is a '59 Mini 850 (yes, the year is correct).
