Here is a little forum game. In it, we will make stories of cars or car owners, snippet by snippet. There are 2 formats: 1. Story of a car. Each poster adds info about each owner, what they did to their cars and when did they own them. Spoiler: Example Poster A: In 1968, Will McMahon, an older Chicago businessman, bought a '69 model year Buick Electra 225 coupe with lots of equipment, even a car phone. Due to McMahon's job, the car travelled a lot. In 1969, it was traded in for a '70 Electra 225, having 37k miles on the clock. The '69 was bought by... Poster B: ...Trevor Donnell, a bank employee searching for his first luxury car. It was used by him mainly for showing off, and actually didn't have Donnell rack a lot of mileage on it. In 1971, the Buick was sold to... Poster C: ...Martin Garfield, a bar owner from the Downtown. He was searching for a cheap luxury car, and found that. The car was used by him until 1974, when fueling it was too expensive. It got sold to... 2. Story of an owner. Every poster adds info about each car of that owner, how long they had it, and what they did to it. Spoiler: Example Poster A: In 1970, Daniel Wilson, a 17-year-old British Midlander, got his first car - a hand-me-down 1966 Ford Zephyr 4. Generally, it was good, but the handling was a bit inadequate, and the 2.0 engine seemed too big for a first car. By 1973, the Zephyr got replaced by a... Poster B: ...1967 BMW 1602. That was closer to what Wilson wanted - a good-handling, but practical and inexpensive to run car. It was in his possesion until 1978, by which point Mr. Wilson was working at British Leyland and it was frowned upon for him to be driving a BMW. The new car was a... Poster C: ...1975 Triumph Stag. Sure, it was more expensive to run, but its owner now had a steady job. However, the engine kept overheating, and in 1980,,it was swapped for a Rover 3.5. The Stag was sold in 1982, and replaced by a... Rules: The two formats should not mix. Once we reach the current year, an owner's dead or a car's scrapped, it's the end of a story. No crazy or zero-effort/edgy eff-this-ess posts - be 100% (maybe 90%) serious. If there are two or more different continuations, all taking off from the same point, take the one you like the most. Feel free to start the next story, once one ends.

It was not fast, but he liked the car, because it was well-built, economical and simple. It stayed in his hands until 1959, when he became a father and bought a Chevrolet Corvair wagon. The Beetle was sold to..
John Ross, of New York City who owned it from 1959-1975 as a daily until he clipped a taxi and bent a wheel axle, then, it was in a junk yard until...
...Bob Gaston, an upstate NY teen, decided to buy it. He thought about fixing it and making a dirt racer, but quickly found a better dirt project, a 1970 rusted Chevy Vega. The Beetle went into a field. It stayed there and rot until 2006. In that year, Liam, Bob's son, decided to sell it for parts or restoration. The buyer was... (Also, try to write longer paragraphs, like the example ones).
Ok, here's the problem. With this, it's supposed to be a be a chain. What should we do if multiple members post on the same post?
As a remainder to what is currently going on: ...Bob Gaston, an upstate NY teen, decided to buy it. He thought about fixing it and making a dirt racer, but quickly found a better dirt project, a 1970 rusted Chevy Vega. The Beetle went into a field. It stayed there and rot until 2006.

Josh TheAwesome, of Massachusetts, drove his 2005 Mercury Mountaineer into a ditch in the field and spammed the BeamNG forums about it.
....Gerald Marshmallow, who was looking for a cheap car to restore. He bought it for $700, and then proceeded to restore it to pristine condition from 2007-2009. Unfortunately, he had to sell it in 2012 to buy himself a 2009 Subaru Impreza instead. The next buyer was....
John Ross, now of New Jersey. He missed his old car and spent tons of time tracking it down. The reason? It contained 20 pounds of cocaine in the trunk. It was empty when he got it back (figures), so he kept it abandoned outside his house in Kearney until the police raided his house and arrested him. It sat on a police impound lot until...
... Until the car was sold at auctions. A classic cars dealership bought it, repaint-it and put ads on it. The car had been sitting out side on the parking of the dealership for 6 months until one morning the car had disapears. The car was stolen by...
Earl Johnson, who was high on meth and subsequently crashed into a median that night, killing him and totalling the car beyond repair. The wreck was in a junkyard until...
The car was destroyed and most of its parts were recycle and use into a new Toyota Camry. A sad end. The Camry was sold to...
Ninja'd by Ulrichou. Alfred Randolph, who bought the Camry in 2015. He unfortunately had credit issues and had to sell it within three months. The car was bought by...
...Mike Stateson. He was a retiring factory worker, who bought the Camry as a first nearly-new car in his life, intending to keep it until death. He still owns it, and seems to be following on the promise. And here is a new story, one of an owner: In 1967, Bob Galverton, a 16-year-old from Bakersfield, California, bought his first car - a 1952 Jaguar XK120. He always wanted a fast car, and these were depreciated enough for him. However, the Jag was only fun when it worked - and it often did not. Finally, in 1969, the electrics simply died. Mr. Galveston sold the Jag half-price and bought a...
Mike unfortunetly got into a wreck and totaled the Camry. He used the money to buy a 1970 Chevelle SS and planned to restore it. Half way through the restore process...
....1966 Toyota Corolla. This car was cheaper and more efficient than the American cars that he was looking at, and it also would be more practical for his purposes. However, rust issues meant that the Corolla was all used up by 1974, and Bob sold it for $500 and bought....
