What did you have fun with before a JEEP?

I'll start. This is my scratch built 2010 cobalt top sportsman car. Ran 8.0 quarter mile no nitrous.th_P1090015.jpg
This picture was after a short drive around my neighbourhood.
 
All I have ever owned was jeeps. So I have to say a JEEP. I owned an 87 YJ, 04 TJ, 08 JKU, 11 JKUR and now a 13 JKUR.

Restored 1969 Ford Mustang (Mostly Stock) :cool:
Built a 1967 Camaro Drag car. Best 1/4 mile ET 9.89. (Mostly ran 10.90 bracket races) :yup:
1987 K5 Blazer, 6"Lift, Locked, 383 stroker, 35s...sold before wheeling for cash (son on the way) :rolleyes2:
1994 Firebird, supercharged (12.50s in the 1/4 all day/night) :brows:
1964 Chevy Bel-Air (Still have but the Mother-in-Law plays with it) :eek:
Quads (Several types) :icon_crazy:
.....
and now the 13' JKUR (Named "Addiction") :rock::rock::rock:

The wife and I are only 36/35 so I'm sure there will be more to come.
 
First car was a beat up Datsun pickup. Nothing special other than I had fun with it.

Had and built a few other fun rigs along the way.
1977 Pinto with a 302.
1956 F100 (chevy 350)
1957 F100 (tbird 312)
1964 F100 (ford 460)
1968 Bronco (302, 6" lift, fuel injection, wristed radius arm, and lots of James Duff parts)
1990 and 1991 Jeep XJs (3" and 4.5" lifts respectively)
Stock TJ (still lots of fun even if stock)
Still have a 1970 F100 (ford 429) (for sale)

Also I've had quite a few mundane and not fun cars in there as well. The one rig out of all of them that I miss from time to time is the Bronco. However, given the reliability of my JK compared to the Bronco, I have to say my JK has been the most fun so far.
 
Still have it but I've sunk enough money in it. Money pit status has switched to jeep.
