How old are you and what cars have you owned?

[Ninety Two]

I am 18 years old and I've had three cars.


1. 1997 Volvo 850 GLT Wagon, found on Ebay in October 2008 with 108k, turned out to be a basketcase (needed new turbo, timing belt, etc) so it was returned five days later thanks to the Lemon law.
2. 1995 M-B E320 Wagon, found on Cars.com in October 2008 with 135k, driven daily for nearly two years. It developed a nasty part shedding habit so I got rid of it at 165k.
3. 1992 BMW 325ic, found on Craigslist in September 2010 with only 89k miles. Currently has 93k.

94 Land Rover Discovery
06 Nissan Altima (vq35 with 5 speed, 14.5 1/4 mile completely stock, total sleeper)
90 240sx
86 325e

Favorite car: the Rover, my first car and I used to beat the crap out of it and it never complained.
Favorite DD: the Altima, very smooth, and surprisingly fast, maybe the e30 when I get it running right.
Most economical: probably the 240
Worst car: The Altima, Way too expensive and it was FWD, not to mention new cars are too boring for a gearhead like myself. I'll never buy a new car again.

DOH! Yep, it was an `84. last year of the RWD. Heck, that was a long time ago!
