I’ve owned 4 in my 26 years (only 8 driving years). Crazy thing is I’ve been married for 5 years and have daily’d each of these during that time. I also have retained 75% of my total owned vehicles.

1986 Dodge Ram D100 with a 225 (inheritance, see “Truck Story”)

2006 Mazda 6 GT V6 5MT (wedding present from Dad)

2014 Fiesta ST, first car I had a say in.

2016 Mazda CX-3 GT, first car my wife had a say in.

Not bad for not having turned 20 yet, I’ve been insanely lucky. Life is too short to drive boring cars.

Yeah, I’m not doing that. I’d crash kinja with 25 different cars. And I know there are some who’ve had WAY more than I have. Besides, I’d be surprised if I have a picture of a single one. I don’t even think I have a picture of my current car.

They’re really fun. Not as hardcore as the Fiesta ST, but still good.

We needed a commuter car, so the Gti was a bad idea for that.

As in legally owned, not bought for me or allowed to drive by the parental units (high school car not legally mine, family cars not legally mine), my history has been pretty brand-consistent.

I bought this when I was 18, drove it throughout school, more than 20 years later still own it (pic from a couple weeks ago):

Once I was in the working world, the old dear went to Sunday driver status, and this pretty thing was my DD:

Then I bought this:

Then this lovely was my DD for 7 years:

Then I leased a couple of 212s:

Now I have another 212, a late run Bluetec:

Let’s see, first car I truly consider my own was a GTI when I was in high school (still my favorite to this day)

After that, I bought a G35 which was suuuuper clean

Then an Integra which unfortunately was totaled by an inattentive driver.

Right now I’ve got an RSX I kinda want to replace.

I started driving in 1992, and I’ve owned several cars that I don’t have pics of. In order of ownership:

1) 1980 Pontiac Phoenix LJ

2) 1983 Chevy Celebrity

3) 1987 Honda Civic CRX DX

4) 1991 Mercury Sable LS

5) 1987 Chevy Sprint

6) 1981 VW Rabbit LS

7) 1987 Acura Integra RS

8) 1988 Chevy Sprint

9) 1993 Geo Prizm LSi

11) 1991 VW Passat GL

12) 2001 Hyundai Accent L

The ones I have pics of:

10) Oldsmobile Alero GL1

13) 1998 Buick LeSabre Custom (I only have pics of the damage after an elk ran into it, and that’s all it merits anyway)

14) 2005 Dodge Caravan SWB base (not even an SXT LOL)

15) 2009 Ford Ranger XL

16) 2012 Fiat 500 Sport

I just realized I don’t have a pic of my current daily driver because I just changed phones and computer. It’s a red 2013 Kia Optima LX. Right now it’s dirty so pics will have to wait.

Despite having my license for nearly a decade now, I’ve been an car owner for less than five years.

2013-2017: 1985 Fiero 2M4 (Auto) - Total shitbox and I loved it. Couldn’t sell it, so I scrapped it.

2014-2015: 1998 Civic EX Coupe (5-speed) - Somehow more of a shitbox than the Fiero, hated it by the end. Scrapped out of spite.

2015-Present: 2006 Mazda3 S (5-speed) - First nice car, first financed car. Currently off the road with suspension issues.

2017-Present: 2001 Miata SE (6-speed) - Adopted rather than purchased. Looks nice on the outside and is a blast to drive, but has horrid rust issues that make it entirely unsafe. Been serving DD duties while the 3 is out of commission.

To be fair, I love my Mazdas, I just wish they didn’t rust.

The Windscar doesn’t really count since that was a freebie and is certainly not something I would have chosen to drive if I had a choice. Yeah, I like minivans, even decades ago when I was in college. Give me a box on wheels with a manual transmission and I’m happy, and with the Mazda I’m very happy indeed.

The F150 is my daily, the 3500 is the heavy hauler since my F150 had issues towing the boat, the corvette was inherited from my dad, and I don’t actually have a picture of my wife’s car but it’s a matrix. Besides motorcycles these are all the vehicles I’ve actually owned and I still own them all.

I’ve owned over 50 cars, so I can’t put them all here, but here are some significant ones that I actually have photos of available.

This Subaru 360 was the first old car I ever bought and the one that started me on a long road of weird cars.

My long time project, a 1960 Fuldamobil S-7 that I brought from Germany. One day, little guy.

This is my latest purchase, a 1981 Citroën LNA imported from France.

The ones I still currently own are the Fuldamobil, the Citroën, the black Le Car, and the Volvo C30. I don’t have the money or room to own all my dream cars, so I figure I can have them one at a time.

Okay here goes

First car, 93 525i touring that blew up on the way home. Sold it as a parts car.

My second car is also one of my current cars, the Volvo that I bought twice

My total shitbox ‘86 325 with the horrible m20b27, sold after the 400th time it died

I think next I bought the Blazer

I kept it for a long time, and had several BMWs while it was there for when they were broken. There was also briefly a ‘90 Ram B250, that helped us move, even though it was trying to overheat all the time.

Then we’re on to the other two current ones, the Legacy and the Raider

Surprise, surprise. Kinja won’t format a list correctly.

1st car 1996 Ford Aerostar, 2nd car 1997 Nissan Maxima, 3rd car 2006 Mazda 6, 4th (and current) car 2004 Toyota Solara. Side note, every car I’ve ever owned has been a White, V6, Automatic. I might have a problem :p

I sold my Maxima to my dad and he sold it to my brother, thus the two for one deal on some pics :) The pic of the Maxima is from today, all the cars are filthy with salt and mud, and jammed together on the gravel so they don’t sink into the mud, because for some reason its 45 degrees and rainy, in the middle of January.

First six - none are the actual car, but they’re dead ringers, except the Skylark was not a GS, and the Sunbird had a solid black body.

Previously owned:

1992 Chevrolet Beretta. 2.2 MPFI four-cylinder with GM’s 3t40 three-speed automatic. Only options were A/C, automatic, center console, and AM/FM cassette. Bought it July 2005 for $1,250.00. My grandad put about $1,000 in it fixing it up for me and then I bought some used Beretta parts and made it a Beretta GTU clone. Sold it with 84,000 miles in April 2007 for $1,500.

1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT1. Bought it for $4,500 in April of 2007 with 103,000 miles. Had every option the Grand Am could have - leather, sunroof, Monsoon stereo, CD and cassette, etc. It was beyond meticulously maintained, going to its original dealer for everything. It was a law firm’s secretary’s car. I loved that thing. I named it “Arnold.” Traded it in with 131,000 miles in August 2009 for $2,500. I still see it around town. It has well over 200,000 miles now. It was rock solid reliable the whole time I had it, and apparently, it still is.

2008 Mazda3 S Touring Hatchback. Bought with 12,200 miles for $15,000 in August 2009. Owned for six years and 63,000 miles. Never an issue. No rust, either, and I drove it year round. Added a MazdaSpeed 3 exhaust, rear valence, headlight eyelids, red vinyl interior kit, Eibach lowering springs, and HID headlights. Used it as a moving van twice when I went to college. It’s amazing the things a hatchback will hold. I miss it. Traded it in October 2015 with 74,000 miles for $5,500. We were planning to start a family and the car seats on sale now just wouldn’t fit comfortably.

Still own:

2016 Mazda6 i Touring. Bought October 2015 with 6 miles. My “dad car.” I’ve wanted a 6 since this body style was introduced in 2013. It’s a wonderful car. Fun to drive, reliable, roomy, safe, and efficient. Has the six-speed automatic and the Bose/sunroof package. Approachinf 24,000 miles.

1995 Chevrolet S10 LS 4X4. Bought for $2,500 in April 2015 with 168,000 miles. Hardly any rust. Assorted dents and dings. Non-functioning ABS. Used as our winter vehicle and spare vehicle. I drive it when there are severe storms forecasted so the 6 doesn’t get hailed on. Has a zillion things wrong with it but I still love it. It has the eternal 4.3 “Vortec” V6. Finished in a faded patina of GM’s “Raspberry Metallic.”

2013 Mazda CX-5 Sport. No options other than the roof rack, automatic transmission, and Bluetooth. My wife’s car. Bought brand new in December 2012 with 6 miles. Has been rock solid reliable with no real issues other than needing a PCM update through the dealer. Sits at 50,000 miles right now. Averages close to 30 MPG and is a beast in the snow despite only having front-wheel-drive. Will be traded someday for a CX-9.

I’m being a bit facetious. I own five cars and I maintain them all and every one of them gets washed minimum once a year, whether they need it or not. But well maintained.

Like I said, I have no idea for sure. But still, there are no SC 300s in my area and near none with a manual for sale anywhere. There are more Mk3 Supras around me and a ton of parts too and I personally think they look nicer
