Is my family crazy?

Well this thread isnt fully about third gens, but I'll keep it F-body related lol.

I just realized that my two brothers and my sister all had Camaros for their first car
oldest brother - 77 camaro with a 400 sb(TOTALED)
went through -
74 trans am 455 (junkyard)
84 z28 305?
now has a 92 RS vert (jumped a draw bridge)
had more f bodies but was too young to remember

middle brother - 79 Camaro with an inline 6 I think it was (no idea where it went)
now hes a traitor and has a 95 thunderbird 4.6 (put a chevy racing plate on the front to mess with him haha)

sister - 84 camaro with a crazy engine setup 350 crate engine i think (TOTALED)
91 firebird vert(TOTALED)
95 trans am vert LT4 (TOTALED)
98 formula with a blown(up) LS1 might as well be totaled the way she takes care of her cars

me - 88 camaro LO3 (at least its not the slowest of the 4 LOL)
Wanted- 77-78 trans am

but heres where it gets out of hand (<-- sarcasm)
aunt and uncle had a 91 Z28 t-top sold
cousin had an 86 IROC

My dad - 77 Trans am (i think it was a special package called "yellow bird" or something) 400 6.6 (junkyard)
89 firebird 2.8 (junkyard)
91 camaro vert LO3 sold
86 monte carlo ss (it got the 400 from the trans am and wheels from the firebird)

thats 16 that i can remember, i KNOW theres more though.
anyone elses family like this?

it seems odd to me because my family used to be big into mopars, i mean hell my grandma had a 440 six pack 70' charger!

Thats what I've been trying to convince her to get
she really doesnt take care of her cars, she blew out a main bearing in her 98 formula, so now its just a driveway weight now

at least if she had a mustang it wouldn't be a disgrace
its funny watching them ruin their only other vehicle, a 96 ram with a 318

Well, yes all of those were her fault except my favorite, the LT4 trans am vert
some 16 year old in the BMW her dumbass daddy bought her kinda drifted to the left while my sister was waiting to make a U-turn on US 19 (the 6th most dangerous highway in the US!) and hit her head on

I couldnt describe in any words how nice that thing was, it was faster than ANY vette up until it was wrecked, all I can kind of say is that it sold at auction for $3500 engine alone

As for the LS1 she blew up, im trying to kinda talk her into giving it to me for my birthday comming up. weather the block is garbage or not, i can still sell the top end and scrap the aluminum block for $$$
and if its good HELLO LS1 SWAP! GOODBYE LO3! haha

Oh and yeah my whole family is muscle car crazy, on my nametag at work it leaves a little place for interests and mine says "Ask me about: Muscle Cars"
Theres this guy that usualy comes through that has a beast of a built, supercharged 302 ford in some old murcury that I cant figure out what it is. I see him and run over and ask how the cars holding up lmao
