28 years old.
1989 Toyota Camry V6 (excellent car, teenage self seriously messed it up, paid cash)
2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R (wrecked this one too, first self financed car as well)
1986 BMW 325es (first E30, was absolutely fantastic, paid 50 dollars for it, probably should have been totaled)
1985 BMW 325e (first modded E30 of mine, paid cash to buy from a friend)
2006 Ninja 250 (traded the E30 for this, learned to ride on two wheels)
1990 325is (friend wrecked it, bought it from him with cash, I later wrecked it all the way)
1991 318is (Kept this one forever. First car I really loved. Tons and tons and tons of modifications. Paid cash from a great guy in SD, later sold and had my heart broken)
1997 BMW M3 (second financed car, absolute driving machine, drove like it was on rails, huge pain in the ass overall though)
1996 Jeep Cherokee (gifted from best buddy in the USMC. Sold due to lame 2wd, despite how clean it was)
1995 Jeep Cherokee (bought this with proceeds from 96 XJ. Super modified, but badly broken, paid cash from fellow NAU student, eventually died when t-case blew up)
1989 Jeep Cherokee (Bought with cash from good high school buddy. Slightly modified but really really old)
2000 Jeep Cherokee (paid cash to buy from the guy I sold the 95 XJ too after it took a shit. Very clean, slightly modified, but still a crappy jeep)
2003 Yamaha R6 (second two wheeled machine, paid cash from a guy who hid its many issues. Insanely fast, but riddled with headaches. Glad to have sold it)
2001 Toyota Tundra V8 (current DD. Paid cash from a sleazy guy down in PHX. Some mods, but subtle. Incredible machine and I have put it through the paces numerous numerous times. Love this thing)
2016 Subaru Crosstrek (wife's DD. Great car for roadtrips, cool tech, almost fully loaded, but pretty basic overall)
1990 BMW 325i (brokered the sale for best friend after getting it running again)
1998 BMW M3/4/5 (bought cash with a blown HG, fixed it, enjoyed it, and sold it to a guy in PHX)
1989 BMW 325i (bought cash, tried to like it, but couldn't due to auto/4 doorness, its pending sale now)
Hoping to add an E39 M5 to this list after I do a bunch of house upgrades these next 6-7 months. If/when I do pick one up, I'll probably keep the truck and the M5 for a while, as most all of those car transactions occurred when I was younger, less financially intelligent, and less patient.
