Hey there! This is Nancy wife of a car guy named Charles. He asked me keep a record of all the cars he's bought and sold in his life. Also, what he bought and sold them for and what he fixed on them (he enjoys mechanics as a hobby). In the beginning we didn't take pictures so they may not be the actual car. But now we take pictures of each one. Enjoy!

This was the first road bike that owned. It was a fun bike but had problems. It was originally black but I painted it blue and finally a silver multi color.

The Car I've Owned The Longest

Bought this car in December of 2006 and just can't bring myself to sell it. I put it up for sale several times only to take it down.
01 Mitsubishi Galant ES
Age : 21
Fixed: Transmission
COST: $3,500
SOLD: $2500 (finally sold in December 2011)
We decided to put a bra on the front because Nancy got in a wreak that did some cosmetic damage to the bumper. Eventually it really got trashed, sad to say, but Charles backed it up into another car, our niece backed into the side of it, and then again Nancy backed up into it. So it was a super nice car and then it had lots of accidents. For the 5 years we had it, it was a great car!

Charles loved this car! It was gutless but it was a classic and Charles really enjoyed having it. Sadly because we needed money we had to sell it. But in the process of selling it we got two buyers that bid against each other so we actually got more than we originally posted it for :)
