Before too long you young'uns will have trouble remembering all the cars you've driven, eventually the list is just too long. Hopefully you'll also have a list of cars so long that you have owned you will forget many of them too! I know I have done both.

Why is it that every time I read the word Camaro on any kinja site, I immediately think about going to jail in Virginia?

1988 Volvo 240
2005 VW Bug convertible (my wife's)
2012 BMW 328i
2007 Honda Fit
1997 Honda Accord Wagon
2013 Kia Soul (in the avatar)
2007 VW Passat Wagon 2.0T (my wife's)
2000 Dodge Durango
2000 Honda CR-V
2004 Chevy Silverado
2013 Hyundai Sonata
and then I got the job where I am now, and if I were to list all of them, it would be three times what I already put up. I've driven the entire 2014 Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Toyota lineups. I've driven every CUV that is sold in the US with cloth interior, and a bunch of CVT cars. There were a few notable ones:
2014 Civic Si sedan. It reminded me that Honda just gets some things right - like front-wheel drive manual transmissions. The only shifter that felt better was probably the Porsche I drove back in 2002.
2014 Accord Sport 6-speed manual. It's a big car, but with the stickshift it really shows that Honda cares enough about the 5% of people who buy manual-transmission Accords to keep making them.
2014 Ford Mustang GT - Coupe and Convertible, 6-speed and Auto, respectively. The Coyote is a hell of an engine and it pulls hard up to redline. The inside of the car, however, just isn't all that great. It's too dark inside and the windows are too small. I guess I'm judging my modern mustang experience on my roommate's LX 5.0
2014 Camaro SS - Seems to be built for anyone under 5'10" Fast, with a surprisingly light clutch.
2006 Honda S2000 - I'm surprised I fit inside it, and it was fun to drive but I wouldn't be able to live with it. I'd have to have the top down every time I drove it because my head hit the roof frame if I wasn't leaning a little forward.
2005 Mini Cooper S Convertible - Fun to drive but I wouldn't want to live with it.
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander - a wholly miserable vehicle.
TL:DR : A metric fuckton of cars
