After 3 Barchettas (first at 23), I got into coops,

I'm only counting those I've driven, not bought for parts or from insurance write offs. Could add another 3 if so.

1st Sprinty 20vt (dog) at 31
2nd Red 20vt (standard) at 32
3rd Porto 20vt (300bhp) at 33 (now owned by Workshy)
4th Steel Grey 16vt at 35 (now broken RIP cry )
5th Scotts Green 20vt at 36 (per profile, still got)
6th Broom Yellow 20v VIS at 36 (per profile, still got)
7th Scotts Green 20vt this month (for sale)

I'm 37 in September. How many more can I go through before? Suffice to say I go through cars more than I do women laugh
