Car Timeline

Did you know that the average person spends more on their cars than saving for retirement. This really bothered me and got me thinking. What have I spent in car purchases for all the cars I have ever owned. I will list all the cars I have ever owned and will update it with any new cars I will purchase in the future as a way to keep track of this ever growing expense and surprising trend affecting our society. I am only listing the purchase prices and not the maintenance or any interest charges I have paid because of my faulty record keeping throughout the years. As I write this I am amazed at the amount I have already spent. See this featured video in the link below as a cool way to get free cars for life using cash.
