How many cars have you owned???

[75Carrera]

Recently I was asked "how many cars I had owned over the years and what were they?" Gathering a list somewhat astounded me. I could remember 38! Yikes! Here is my list... What's yours look like??

[GH85Carrera]

I am the other extreme.

First car 1960 VW Bug
Second 1973 VW Bug
Fourth 1974 Porsche 914 2.0
Fifth 1986 El Camino
Sixth 1985 911 Carrera

That is it. I still have the El Camino and the 911. I have had the Elky for 22 years and the 911 for 18 years. I have no intention of selling either, or getting another car.

I am cheating in that my wife has had 4 cars in the 22 years we have been married and my name is on the title but they are her cars, and I almost never drive them. I don't count them as mine.

[schumicat]

1985 Merkur XR4ti
1985 Honda Prelude S
1995 BMW M3
1987 Mercedes 300E
1985 Toyota MR2
1987 Porsche 924S w/ S2 swap
1992 Miata w/ supercharger
2005 Mercedes C230
1985 Pontiac Fiero ITB race car
1982 911SC
1992 Saab 9000 turbo

all but the 300E are stick shifts.

What's the point? It's like asking how long is your d*ck? Maybe if you asked appropriately "How many Porsche have you owned?" then it would mean something since we are on a Porsche Forum.

[blockhed]

I'm up to 35 ranging from Buick Regal, Accord, Evo's, M3's and 911's. Average is 1 car per 1 year of my existence , I have slowed down and plan on starting to collect more 911's

Since you asked...11 1/2 inches

[tazzieman]

Theory : the number of cars/bikes owned is proportional to the number of wives and inversely proportional to the number of children raised and educated

[Mex]

1999 Honda Accord Coupe
1984 Porsche 911 Coupe
...

I've still got plenty of time for more though

[Tidybuoy]

Let's See....

1968 VW Bug - I loved that car
1967 Chevy Chevelle - I really loved that car
1973 Chevy Monty Carlo - I loved that car
1984 Chevy Celebrity - I liked that car
1989 Chevy Celebrity - I really liked that car
1980 BMW 320i - I loved that car

1974 Porsche 914 - I still have it and still love it
1988 Porsche 944 - I still have it and still love it
1974 Porsche 911 - I drove it today and love it daily.
