How many cars have you owned?

[stevefrench]

I was cleaning out my garage this morning and it got me to thinking. How many cars have I owned in my lifetime? Hmmmmm? I'll be 51 next month, so I had to stop working and think this one out.

Anyway, here's my ownership history:
1) 1967 Malibu(white) - my father gave it to me
2)1971 Chevy Impala(gold) - great 8-Track sound system
3) 1977 Elcamino(black) - my first new vehicle
4)1979 Ford F-150 Supercab(brown) - it was a mile long
5)1979 Trans Am(black) - 6.6 Litre
6)1983 Mercury Lynx wagon(tan) - junk
7)1984 F-150 XLT(black & tan)
1984 T-Bird(burgundy)
9)1986 Ford Aerostar(blue)
10)1987 Ford F-150(grey)
11)1994 Olds Cutlass(red) - great car!
12)2001 Ford Ranger XLT(red) - my current ride, good little truck

That's it folks!

Two Honda Civics and a VW bug (current).

Let's think about this..............

'73 Ford Grand Torino Sport
'74 Ford LTD - 2 door
'79 Buick Regal Limited - great little light car with a decent V8
'74 Ford F150
Mid-size Buick Station wagon - don't remember he year anymore - mid '80s
(2) Chevy Astro Vans (from the 1980's. again, forget the years)
'94 Ford E150 Custom Conversion Va
'82 Chevy S-10 Ext Cab Pick-up
'89 Chevy S-10 Ext Cab Pick-up
'69 Chevelle SS 396 - damn fast car, barely street legal, but a daily driver -( no better than about 6 mpg, and as low as about 2 mpg when racing and using NOS!!)
'89 Chevy S-10 Ext Cab Pick-up - Gutted to rebuild 1st '89 S-10 after a roll-over)
Mid 90's Ford Explorer, Eddie Baurer edition (roughest riding vehicle I've ever owned)
'Mid 90's Mazada 626
(2) '97 Pontiac Grand Prix
'97 Ford F150
'98 Ford F150
'94 Ford Explorer (Daughter's car, but I paid for it, and in my name)
'95 Nissan Pathfinder (Son's car, but I paid and in my name)
'01 Nissan Pathfinder

Seems like there were a couple more in there somewhere, just can't remember them right now.

That's 21 in about 30 years.

Oops, forgot about the '57 and the '59 Mercedes 190 sedans I had as a teenager. Restored the '59, never got around to the 57 (still actually have the engine and 5-speed transmission from the 57) Also co-owned a 69 Camaro with my father. He purchased it, I put in the labor to restore it for resale in the early 1980's.

I'm 26.

1) 1989 Ford Tempo GL (my first car, what a POS)
2) 1998 Isuzu Amigo (heavy SUV with a 4-cyl, slowest thing ever)
3) 1999 Mercury Cougar (decent little car but started falling apart at 60k miles like most Fords do)
4) 1992 Isuzu Trooper (beast of a vehicle until the transmission went out, wasn't worth fixing/replacing)
5) 1993 Nissan 240SX SE (I LOVED this car. Sold it cheap to a kid who I knew would appreciate it nearly as much as I did.)
6) 2006 Mazda3 5-door Grand Touring (great balance of sportiness, fuel economy, and luxury for the price)

I would love to get another 240SX or an older Z car someday because I really miss my 240SX. My "dream car" is a decent 3-series or 5-series BMW, maybe even an M3 or M5
