Here's mine:

88 Chevy Beretta
91 Ford Ranger (4cyl, 5MT)
95 GMC Sonoma (4cyl, 5MT)
96 GMC Sonoma (v-6, 5MT)
98 GMC Sonoma (v-6, 4x4, 5MT)
00 GMC Sierra (5.3 v-8, Z71)
02 GMC Yukon (5.3 v-8)
05 Subaru Outback (2.5i)
07 Toyota RAV4 (wife's)
08 Subaru Forester Sports XT

BTW, I'm only 29. Got my license in 95. 9 vehicles in 13 years... The 96 Sonoma and the Forester are my favorites. The 96 Sonoma was the perfect cool car in high school. Came factory lowered with Camaro wheels, bright red, Vortec V-6 and a step side bed.

My 09 Forester XT is my 12th I think. Probably my fondest and best memories were of my 1967 Dodge Charger that my dad and I completely restored. I loved that car and absolutely screwed up when I sold it.
I currently have a project truck - a 1974 Ford F-100 Explorer that was my grandfather's. I am currently restoring it and hope to have many more memories after she gets back on the road again.
1967 Dodge Charger
1982 Ford Escort GT
1986 Dodge Shelby Charger Turbo-Intercooled
1991 Dodge Spirit ES
1994 Dodge Caravan Sportwagon
1990 Ford Bronco II
1973 Ford F-100 (The Beastie with 390 HiPo)
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4
1981 Datsun 280ZX (restored and track car)
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4
1974 Ford F-100 Explorer (my grandfather's)
2009 Subaru Forester XT

In order

'73 Celica ST - in the family since new, this was my first car and we danced 10/10ths and beyond every day. I loved that car! 4 years.
'79 Jeep Cherokee Chief - in the family since new - 4 speed with level III HD package. 1 year.
'84 Mazda 626 coupe - purchased new I modded everything on this car but the engine. Eight Cibie rally lights on the front, lowered, braked, spoilered, wheeled, gauges, seats, stereo w/o looking stupid. 6 years.
'90 Eagle Talon TSI - purchased new, tricked stereo. 8 years.
'77 Oldsmobile Cutlass - just to transport while the Eagle was being worked on. 1 year.
'98 Nissan Altima - purchased new. Not a passionate car, but very satisfied with the package. 10 years.
'07 Subaru Forestet XT - purchased new. 8 months!

The Celica was the most balanced. With the little 165-13 tires it had very progressive and contrallable breakaway and recovery. 50/50 weight distibution and a perfect shifter - this car is totally tossable. While I totally loved this car - I have been reluctant to buy another because it won't be as good as I remember.
Like driving the classic '67 Mustang - by today's standard, they suck!

Default Thirty-four....

I'm an old guy who's been driving since 1970, and I used to buy and sell cars when I was in college to earn a few bucks, as well as writing my college thesis, in 1974, on "the rise and fall of the muscle car".

All 34 would be boring, but highlights:

1965 Sunbeam Alpine (first car)
1960 Austin-Healey 3000
1972 MGB (last English car--found out even newish ones were junk, but fun to drive)
1969 AMX (two seater AMX with a 390 engine)
1970 AMX (another 390)
1966 Corvette roadster (327/300 stripper, 3 speed, no power anything)
1976 Corvette (smogger, but with a 4 speed it was gutsy)
1968 Olds 442 (hundreds of passes down the dragstrip, 4 speed)
1968 Plymouth Roadrunner...with a Hemi and 4-speed
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda...with a 12.5:1 built Hemi and full manual B&M Torqueflite...
1971 Olds 98 (huuuge)
1978 Ford stepside pickup
1979 SAAB 900 (great hatchback with utility, first FWD)
1973 SAAB Sonett (my wife owned this car when I met her in 1983!)
1980 Toyota FJ40 Land Crusher (no power steering or A/C)
1987 Dodge Lancer Turbo
1998 Acura 2.5TL (drove this for 90k miles--great freeway commuter)
2003 Mazda Protege5 (didn't work out--too small--bought the Foz to replace it)
1991 BMW 318is (owned this since 1994, my son gets it when I die)
2002 Ford E150 van (our 4th big van--still have this one)
2007 Honda Civic (wife's daily driver)
2009 Forester (my daily driver, 2.5X with a stick)

Four cars so far

1986 Honda Civic CRX-transmission problems had to sell, was not mechanically inclined back then
1988 Honda Civic HB-gone, I hear it is still running strong at 250k miles+
2000 Acura Integra LS sedan-may sell or become project car
2009 Subaru Forester-Current ride

I miss the CRX most, it handled like a go kart.

I seem to recall a giant truck in your yard? Doesn't that count? :)



Cars I have owned:
'84 Datsun Nissan (as it was badged with both) Maxima that I was given from my grandmother when they took it away from her
'00 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS - Now here's a car that turned heads until I sold it, which took less than 24hrs on Craigslist for the exact asking price!
'08 Subaru Forester XT - I thought Subaru AWD was something I would never give up after the RS, now I have to list Subaru AWD & Subaru Turbo on my next car's pre-req's
