1) 96 Dodge Dakota <<Inhertited from dad
2) 92 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD
3) 92 Plymouth Laser AWD
4) 90 Eagle Talon Tsi FWD
5) 90 Dodge Colt
6) 88 T-bird 5.0
7) 90 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD
8) 98 Ford Contour <<Wife's old car, sold it as soon as we got married
9) 04 FXT
10) 02 WRX

I thought I had owned a lot of cars, but then I look at some of the lists. I guess I'm averaging near a car a year...

I would have to say that the FWD Talon that I had was my favorite. I never should have gotten rid of it. Great on gas, quick, reliable (for a DSM), cheap. Can't beat that.

My XT is my 8th Subaru!

4 Hondas I think, 2 more if you count my wife's
2 Miatas
1 Sentra
1 Ranger
1 Mazda3 - Wife's
1 Passat - Wife's
8 Subarus since 1999.

Yikes. No wonder my wife says she'll leave or kill me if I don't keep my FXT for more than 3 years.

I see a few of us had the Turbo Talon. Mine was a '90 TSI FWD. Very good car but all the service centers in South Florida were both inept and crooked. The engine was powerful, smooth, tractable, and decent access for DIY work.

I have found the Subie less so on 3 of the 4 points...

I think one or two of you have me beat...

But I'm only 27...

How many vehicles have you owned? - WRXAtlanta.com -- The Southern Subaru Enthusiast Community


I was just pondering how insane it is and if I'm the only one. I recently turned 27, so this is all in 11 years. And this isn't counting the off road stuff like dune buggies and dirt bikes... Just stuff I rode or drove around town.

F-150
VW GTi VR6 in Red
VW Corrado VR6
CBR 600
XR400 with DOT kit (awesome)
Montero- Black
3000 GT VR4
Montero-Silver
4 Runner
Ranger XLT 4.0L
Land Rover D2 (POS!)
MK III VW GTi VR6- Silver (rare!)
Audi A4qt
87 Jeep Cherokee
VW 20th Anniv. GTi in Yellow
VW GTi VR6- Black
VW MKII Diesel GTi
Lexus ES300
91 Accord 5spd
SV650S- Blue
VTR1000 (FAST!!!)
'79 Civic 1200
'80 Civic 1400
'89 CRX Si
SV650- Silver
'03 WRX Sonic
'05 STi
Yamaha Zuma
'07 Forester XT
'99 SV650

As more come into mind I'll add them. I've never had an accident either. All bought and sold to try something different.

Whatcha got?

I never sit down and figured this out, so here it is:

1) 1985 Fiat 147 (learned to drive on it, in Brazil)
2) 1989 Fiat Uno 1.6R (little Brazilian hot hatch Hot Rod)
3) 1990 Fiat Elba 1.6 (great station wagon, what can I say, I came from a Fiat family)
4) 1990 Ford Ranger 2.3 (first "car" in the US, great little truck, Hurricane Andrew survivor)
5) 1993 Plymouth Acclaim (second worst car I ever had)
6) 1985 Dodge LeBaron Turbo (worst car I ever had)
7) 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco 16v (awesome, fast car, was prepped for autocross before I bought it)
8) 1977 Mercedes 300D (I loved this beast)
9) 1970 Ford Courier (cheapest car and best return for the money, paid $200 for it and drove over 50,000 miles before selling it for $500!!)
10) 1974 Fiat X 1/9 (mid engine hot rod, this one was in excellent shape)
11) 1970 Fiat 850 Spider (I loved this convertible, it was very hard to sell it)
12) 2000 Hyundai Accent GS (first new car, drove 79,000 miles in two years and nothing ever went wrong with it)
13) 2002 Suzuki XL7 V6 (drove this SUV all over the California High Desert for a year, was totaled when some bastard slammed into it when I was in the movies)
14) 1998 Kia Pride 1.3 GLS (first car I bought when I lived in Korea, same car as Ford Festiva, but with 5 doors, great little car, drove it all over Korea and sold it for what I paid for it, $500)
15) 2000 Daewoo Tico (smallest car I ever had, with a 3 cyclinder, 600cc Suzuki engine)
16) 1997 Hyundai Accent GS (third car in Korea, overheated on highway!!)
17) 1993 Hyundai Elantra GS (actually my wife's first car, but I paid for it and drove it more than her, last car in Korea)
18) 2008 Toyota Prius Touring (second new car, bought in January this year, I loved this car, but it's just not a driver's car)
19) 2008 Subaru Forester Sports 2.5 X (I always loved Subarus and when the Army decided to send me to Alaska I made up my mind to get one)

Wow, 19 cars, I had no idea... this was fun, like going down memory lane.

PS: my list was done in order of ownership, from first to last.
