About a dozen 1964.5-1970 Mustangs. All but the last were 6-bangers. Last one was a 1967 coupe (Mexican-block 302 +0.030 (plus other mods), 4MT (Toploader). Got rid of it and a 1998 Pontiac Gran Prix GTP (3.8 V6 Eaton SC and a HUD) to make room for the 2009 370Z Touring I had.

1968 Dodge Dart GTS (hi-po 340, bumble-bee stripe)

196x Rambler station wagon

1972 Dodge MaxiVan (great party wagon)

It wasn't as long as it looked--only about 20 years. I traded the 300ZX in on the Infiniti--had > 250,000 miles on it. I would have kept it longer except it had the electronic dashboard which was getting very flaky and unreliable. I couldn't even find a replacement from a junkyard to take a flyer on at anything near a reasonable price. I never had a mechanical issue with it.

Man. That's a lot of cars for someone who's 40. I may be forgetting some too. Took 3 accords to over 200k miles (didn't buy them new though). My MO is buy late model Japanese luxury, and occasionally be an idiot and buy a huge American barge. As much as I love my Z, and I love it a lot, I wish I had my turbo SC back sometimes.

JARblue · 04-08-2017, 05:01 AM

I didn't actually get my driver's license until I was few months shy of 18 years old, but I was given my first car at 15:

1981 Datsun Stanza hatchback 5MT (inherited it from Grandpa with 140K miles - put another 50K on it before donating it)
1988 Nissan Pathfinder 2dr (inherited it from Dad with 220K miles - put another 100K on it before some idiot hit me and insurance totaled it).
2005 Ford Explorer Sport 2dr 5MT (bought it with 50K miles - put another 100K on it before donating it in exchange for the CR-V).
1999 Honda CR-V (inherited it from Dad with 200K miles - put another 150K on it before I gave it to my cousin who promptly killed it by not changing the oil

)
2001 Nissan Sentra (inherited it from Grandpa with 50K miles - put barely 2K miles on it before trading it in on a new Z for my wife).
2004 Honda Accord EX-L 6MT (bought it with 40K miles - put another 60K on it before trading it in on an Acura lease for my wife).
2011 370Z (inherited it from my wife when we got her the Acura - 91K miles and still going strong

I can't believe one of the most integral members of this forum got his Z as a hand-me-down.

What might have been if you had been handed another sedan.

Butterfly flaps it's wings and all that.
