Cars you've owned: How many and what were they?

[Kompresshun]

Boredom at work has struck me. Just curious to see how many people here are as car crazy as myself, i've always been a big car nut ever since my dad started letting me help him work on cars when I was 5. I've slowed down quite a bit since i've gotten married and have a baby, but i've had 20 cars in my ownership since age 15. Most people are amazed at the number(mostly non-car people), some not so much. Anyways here's a list of what i've owned so far, no pics but I may be able to dig up some for a few of them if wanted.

1. 1977 Datsun 280Z 5spd(My dad restored it for me)
2. 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0L 5spd(Base model, worst car i've ever owned)
3. 1989 Ford Ranger Ext Cab V6 Auto
4. 1991 Ford Mustang GT Auto(Brothers car, sold to me for larger vehicle for his family)
5. 1991 Ford Explorer XL 5spd
6. 1981 Jeep CJ7 Renegade 4spd(One I regret selling)
7. 1991 Ford Explorer XLT Eddie Bauer Auto
8. 1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS350 Auto(My dads car, inherited when he passed away. The worst nightmare of a project i've ever had, $12,000 and 4 years later I sold it after giving up all hope of finishing it)
9. 2004 Ford Ranger Edge Reg Cab 5spd
10. 1995 Chevrolet Blazer Auto(Another piece of crap)
11. 1991 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Auto(Totalled 2 weeks after buying)
12. 1987 Ford Mustang LX 4cyl 5spd(Parts car to rebuild the one above)
13. 1995 Nissan Maxima GXE Auto
14. 1991 Ford Ranger Reg Cab 4cyl Auto(Another freebie)
15. 1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+0 N/A Auto
16. 1990 Ford Mustang LX 4cyl auto(Freebie)
17. 1988 Ford Bronco II 4x4 5spd(Bought for $100, traded Mustang above for repairs needed on it)
18. 1987 Mazda RX7 Turbo II 5spd
19. 2000 Infiniti I30 Auto(Current Vehicle)

1998 Volvo V70 (Straight luxury, I picked it up from an auction, supposedly it needed a head, I put coolant and oil in it, it ran great, did the brakes and a ball joint and sold it for a $2500 profit. I wish I could do that all the time)

1993 BMW 325 IS (Hell to work on, but strangely satisfying to drive, might be a favorite.)

[MaximA32]

1. 1983 Pontiac Grand Prix
-my dad gave me this car after I helped him rebuild the motor
2. 1989 Chevy Camaro
-this MY first car. cost me $500. It rotted out and the strut wiped out the brake master. Scrapped it for $300 after 6
months
3. 1993 Chevy Cavalier
-this was the ar I had when I joined NICO. I paid $600 for it with only 69k on it. Drove it till 125k, replaced the head
gasket after I found an internal leak. Traded it in and got $800 for it. I saw it a few months after and knew that guy
got a great deal
4. 1998 Nissan Maxima
-First financed car. I put 6th gen Maxima wheels on it, Tein coilovers, exhaust, intake, performance clutch, HIDs and
tinted the windows. I promptly beat the snot out of it on the track and daily'd it. Then an errant water bottle caused me
to rear end a Ford Edge. Since totaled.
5. 1987 Toyota Supra (n/a)
-I paid $600 for it. Nothing worked. The gearbox leaked and the lights barely worked. I traded it in 3 weeks after I
bought it and got $900 for it. The interior wasn't even mounted, it was all in the hatch.
6. 2004 Nissan Maxima
-Paid under $9k for it out the door. Elite edition (google it) Drive it every day and love it. The nicest car I have owned
to date.

I sat down and tried to ponder this one night. I wish I saved the text file. Every time I thought the list was complete, another vehicle I forgot would pop into my head.

Let me do my best:

1988 Nissan Sentra -- Miserable junk. Parental freebie. It quietly died one day.
1988 Mazda 929
1986 Chevy Nova -- Parental freebie. Got smashed by another driver who failed to yield, then it was stolen from the tow lot, then it was found in a field, then it soon died on its own.
1991 Ford Explorer XL
1995 Mazda 626 DX
1988 Mazda 929 (different one)
1993 Honda Accord DX -- Parental freebie.
1992 Infiniti Q45 -- Brought me to this forum in 2003.
1990 Infiniti Q45 -- Bought off NICO member in California
1992 Cadillac Seville STS -- Current. I acquired it from NYC at about 130k in miserable condition. Sold it to a guy in Illinois at 137k. Brother bought it from the same guy in Illinois a year later at 150k. I got it back from my brother at 180k. Fate?
1993 Mazda MPV -- Mom owned it; I drove it. She sold it at 53k to Buddhist monks who now use it to haul gardening supplies.
1990 BMW 525i
1990 Nissan Maxima -- Epic snow car.
1998 Lexus LS400 -- Two forgettable months. Test drove a '99 two days ago and realized why I ditched the last one so quickly.
2003 Land Rover Range Rover HSE -- Awesome junk.
2003 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate -- Fond memories.
2004 BMW 325i Convertible -- T-boned by woman in a Kia.
2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 -- Awesome junk.
2006 Cadillac Escalade ESV
1998 Cadillac Seville STS -- Minor accident. Sold.
1998 Ford Mustang V6 Coupe -- Fun car, sold for small profit.
1995 Ford Explorer XLT -- One whole weekend of ownership.
1991 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible -- Current. Didn't expect to like it this much.

[MinisterofDOOM]

My list is short.

1984 Cadillac Coupe DeVille HT4100
1995 Ford Ranger XL 2.3 5 speed 2wd
1993 Maxima GXE (currently doing daily driver duty for my sister, 265k miles)
1995 Q45t, the Q of DOOM (Currently sitting waiting for me to stop wishing it would magically fix itself and sell it.)
2005 Lincoln LS8

I was fond of every one of them. A friend bought the Ranger and I still see it regularly, miss driving it sometimes. I'd like it back but have no need for two cars (and the LS is a better commuter anyway).

I have dreams about owning the Caddy again/still. Usually they're the kind of dream you wake up from feeling great, then it sinks in that it was just a dream. I miss that car.

[numbnuts240]

1995 sentra (base model, slow as f***, couldn't kill it, 40mpg. i miss that car)
