I haven't had nearly the number of cars many have had. I never have bought a new car, just used.
1966 mustang fastback w 289 Hi Po
1971 pinto-got beat on a freeway race by a 70 corolla with an engine half the size.
1971 Datsun 240Z w a 260 z motor, headers, triple mikuni carbs. A lot of fun memories with this car
1980 BMW 320
got car crazy and had all these at the same time
1983 Porsche 944
1987Porsche 944 turbo-really liked this car
1984 Porsche 930 slantnose turbo with bigger turbo and adj boost-pretty fast
1980 Porsche 911 sc
1978 Ferrari 308 GTS sold it for what I paid
1990 Infiniti Q45-got me into luxury cars-good car
1994 Infiniti Q45-piece of crap- fuel injectors went out often
sold all of them and got a lexus 1998 GS 400-great car but got totaled
1997 Viper GTS Coupe blue and white with engine mods, supercharger, and nitrous. Insanely fast
Now I just have a 2002 Lexus Ls430UL-best car I've ever owned and 2007 Ford f150 Lariat supercrew pu truck
Next year will probably sell the Ls430 and get a used Ls460 to replace it.
Possibly add a used 2013mercedes 550SL, or a used 2006-2008 Bentley GT, or used 2004 to 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo.

Which automobiles have you owned, previously and currently?
Currently, we have a circa 2004 Jeep Wrangler, 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty Powerstroke V8 Diesel, and a 1996 Hunday Car but can't remember the model.
We used to have a Saturn, but can't remember the year or model of it, a 1980s or 1990s Dodge Dakota, a Chevrolet Blazer (not a Chevrolet Trail Blazer but a Chevy K5 Blazer probably either 1980s or 1990s), and a 1980s Dodge Caravan.
75 LeMans
84 Camaro with a weak v6
88 Firebird Formula 350
77 Suburban 4x4
89 Civic LX
01 Kia Rio
05 Ranger 4x4
I currently drive the Ranger. Of the others I listed, I'd say I miss the Suburban the most. That thing went everywhere without fail. She was thirsty though, gas prices today would kill me. The Firebird was a lot of fun, especially when Montana didn't have a daytime speed limit. But that beast of a truck was unstoppable.
