Question: How Many Cars Have You
 
bought through your life so far? What was the first and is your Z your most recent? Let's see how many of us have you changed over the years or kept a similar taste in cars?
I've bought 22 new cars over the past 44 years.
My first car purchase was in 1965, when I went off to college. I bought a new 1965 Mustang. It was a 4 cylinder, burgundy with black vinyl seats, a "four on the floor" and the standard AM radio and heater (no air). I enjoyed the car but was sorry I didn't by a convertible----which I traded for on a 1966 Mustang convertible the very next year! Car crazy kid!
My most recent was my Z, which will probably have to be my last sports car (starting to get a bit uncomfortable for me at nearly 63). But for now, I'm still enjoying it very much. Car crazy old guy!

I've owned 9 cars total. First car was a 93 Si Prelude. I've owned a wide range of Hondas/Acuras including a 85 Prelude [mint, low miles when I bought it], a Type S CL, a terrible four door 91 Civic, and currently a turbo CRX. I think its time I moved on to RWD. :)

I'll make it short and sweet and just name my favorites.

69 GTO in high school didn't know what i had until years later
84,90,&96 corvettes still miss my c5 96 vette!! will buy another vette one day!
05 350, 09 370. love the 370 wouldn't have bought it if i hadn't liked the 350

IMHO dollar for dollar so far the 370 is best bang for the buck.

for me it's all about the Z's and the vettes

There is already a thread about this. I'm closing on 50 cars.

First one 1979 1200 Honda Civic, current one 2009 370Z.

1. 18ish: 1981 Dodge Diplomat, undercover police vehicle bought for like a 100 bucks from an auction. Beat the living hell out of that car :D

2. 19 - 22ish: 1979 Pontiac Firebird. Blew up the stock 301 and dropped a 403 6.6 liter into it. Car was a torque beast, tho' constantly broke down -- that car broke my heart.

3. 22ish - 30ish: 1987 Celica GT-S. Loved that little car! How awesome it was not to get stranded on the road once a month anymore!

4. 30ish to 34ish: 1993 Celica GT-S. Not as much fun as the '87 (and sadly not a GT-4), but still a sweet little grocery getter.

5. 34ish to 38: 2000 Celica GT-S -- eventually supercharged and putting down around 250 whp. Ah, that car was a blast!

6. 38 to whenever something cooler comes out (FT-86 w turbo???) -- the Zed! :tup:

19 cars. First was a 1968 Ford Torino Convertible with a 390, GT wheels, hood scoop, glass back window. MAN I wish I still had that car! Traded it on a '71 Mach 1 'stang. I have owned Hondas, Toyotas, Fords, Nissans, Dodge (worst thing I ever owned - mini van - tranny burned up with just over 50K), three Miatas, four other Mazdas. I even owned an early Hyundai Excel. Wow, what a piece of dung. The '09 Z is the latest and it's just over a year old. I kind of gravitated to Japanese cars because I only want to work on my cars if I want to, not because I need to and I want it to be cheap when I want to. Never owned a German car for some reason. I guess none of their cars "speak" to me.
