So I’ve seen a bunch of posts listing all the cars someone has ever driven. I’m gonna attempt the same, though I’m sure I’ll miss some. I think though that it’ll be an interesting list none the less.
In no particular order:
199x Ford Aspire (friends car - one of the first cars I ever drove myself)
1992 Mazda MX-3 (moms car - drove this in high school)
1986 Pontiac Fiero (my first own car)
1989 Pontiac Firebird (initially my dads car, later mine)
199x Dodge Stratus (test drive)
198x Lada 2106 (grandparents car in Estonia)
198x VW Golf II (rental in Estonia)
198x Audi 80 Quattro (rental in Estonia)
199x Plymouth Neon (grandfathers car sent to Estonia from the US)
19xx Moskvitch 2140 (grandfathers old car)
199x Ford Mustang (friends yellow stang shortly after high school)
1979 Ford Mustang Pace Car (friends car in high school (friends parents?))
200x Pontiac GTO (friends car)
2006 Audi A6 (my old car)
2005 Audi A6 (cousins car)
198x Audi 100 (cousins car)
2007 Acura MDX (my car)
2005 Mercedes C320 (mom old car)
2006 Infinity QX56 (dad car)
20xx Ferrari 360 (one of those “motorsport experience” things)
200x Volvo XC90 (test drive)
200x Nissan Pathfinder (test drive)
200x Chrysler Minivans (rentals quite a few times)
20xx Hyundai’s (rentals.. can’t tell them apart really)
1992 Chevy Conversion Van (dads old car)
19xx Zil 130 (grandfathers work car in Estonia)
19xx Soviet Fork-lift (some drunk Russians let me do their work for them)
19xx Riga Delta Moped (cousins ride back in the day)
19xx Riga Mini Moped (other cousins ride back in the day)
19xx Soviet Motorcycle with a sidecar (found it in a barn at my grandparents house.)
19xx Home grown go-kart with a motorcycle engine (cousins)
2001 Chevy Monte Carlo (wife’s car)
200x Oldsmobile Van (Mother in laws car)
Can’t believe I remembered this many... I’m probably forgetting some... some of these have a story attached. Ask if interested.

I wish I could drive a Zil, Moskvitch, or Lada, just for the novelty.

Fun fact, the Moskvitch has leaf springs in the back, and I’m not sure it has shock absorbers. If it does, they’re worhless. That’s the bounciest car I’ve ever driven. And the second gear was in the middle of the drivers seat. You had to literally push the shifter into the seat foam to get it into second gear.
The Lada on the other hand feels almost like a car next to the Moskwitch. A bit floaty at speed with a huge steering slack (bounce-steer) and down on power, but other than that, almost like a car.
The Zil.. I may be exaggerating on that a bit. By driving it, I mean I only did 3/4 of a loop around a barn with a trailer behind it, while my grandwather was sitting next to me telling me exactly what to do and helping as needed.. I was like 14ish.
