How old are you and what cars have you owned?

[majdomo]

Oh dear...42 and 15 cars in. Realizing this is nothing compared to some of you out there...though I get constant ribbing from the fam on car ADD.

In order, do not have any except the 318iS. I'm serial like that. All sold to move on to the next, no totals or anything.

1973 Chevy Impala (Hooptie)
1970 VW Beetle (not bad...)
1984 Honda Accord (college)
1995 Acura Integra (after college)
1999 Toyota 4Runner (tired of being mistaken for a ricer)
2002 Honda Accord (wannabe family man)
2000 Audi A4 Quattro 2.0T (aah, you only live once)
2004 Subaru Impreza (shit it's expensive to fix German cars!!!)
2006 Toyota Prius (just need to get to work)
2007 E90 328i (aaah, you only live once)
2009 Subaru Legacy GT (shit it's expensive to fix German cars!!)
2011 Honda Accord (Subie threw a piston at 18k miles)
2013 Chevy Volt (shoot me, just need to get to work, dammit)
2013 E92 335i (aah...fuckit)
1991 E30 318iS (double fuckit!)

33 years old. I'm mainly doing this to remind myself how many cool cars I shouldn't of sold.

1988 Chevy cavalier- first car completely seriously neglected still started and ran on command.

1985 Toyota Supra blue (mk2) purchased this car from a shady 'buy here pay here' without knowing how to drive a stick. Taught myself on the way home 20 Miles away. So many fun memories packing the car with friends, dumping the clutch, and revving the piss out of this car.

1986 Toyota Supra white (mk2) from 18-25 I hunted these cars and would buy every last one if I could. Automatic daily driver boring car but still a Supra.

1985 Toyota Supra Silver (mk2) I was STILL a dumb kid... When I purchased it leaked coolant from the radiator like it was in style.
Well...after a few repairs I drove it for a while and sold it. It was then involved in a really bad wreck (t-boned)at a high rate of speed. Driver survived... Dinged up pretty bad but lived.

1999 Saturn.... It's a Saturn.

1986 Toyota Supra burgundy (mk2) this car was turboed... Crazy fast and super fun... While the engine lasted. Very bad idea and big waste of money... But so much fun!

1983 Toyota Supra white (mk2) I had driven in this car with previous owner years earlier, and was so impressed with how clean it was, and how tight it drove. I purchased it from the said owner who fell into financial trouble and it was still clean and tight when I got it. Regret selling.

1984 Toyota Supra light blue (mk2) bad idea.. purchased and sold it within a week. Leaked oil from everywhere.

1987 Toyota Cressida (gold) same inline 6 engine as all the Supra's (5mge) great car! Sold for cheap.

1994 Volvo 940 turbo sedan super awesome car. The brick! Sold for cheap.

1990 BMW 535i (E34) my introduction into the BMW world. Long story with this one but such a fun car with 5 speed and m30b35. Taught me quite a bit about these cars. Sold for cheap.

1989 Mercedes 420Sel. This is possibly the best car I've ever owned and driven. The quality of the interior, v8 power, Attention to detail, and driver comfort can't be matched. It hurt letting this one go. Sold for cheap.

2005 Subaru Outback XT (black). First and only loan on a car. Fast grocery gettin' Utilitarian vehicle. My introduction to Subaru. Sold.

1984 VW rabbit cab with Callaway turbo kit. Still regret selling this. Such a raw, fun, fast little car. This turbo kit was rare for these cars. Old school tech, and tuning but so much fun especially with the top down on a nice day. I still regret selling it... Had to make room for BMW's. Sold for cheap.

1989- 318i e30 Touring. Imported from the Netherlands. Really cool car. Rusty, fun, light and nimble. It also taught me how to import and register a 25 year old vehicle from another country.
Traded for ↓.

1987 325i e30 Sedan. Awesome car that I still own. The 2.5 m20 b25 has grown to a 3 litre . Suspension rebuilt, e46 330i zhp steering rack, working ac, Ronal 15 in wheels, stromung exhaust. This car shifts, drives, handles like a real car should. It just feels super solid. This one will be around for a while.

1989 325i e30 Sedan. Clean Cali car, twin cam swapped, super clean interior. Has a "New car feel" such a different car than my '87. Will be for sale soon.

2004 Chevy Suburban- Everyone should own one at some point. King of the road.

I've owned several other cars mainly Subaru's that I've purchased to flip so I didn't add those. My intention is to drive, and sell as many cars as possible as long as possible. It's exciting knowing that they're still so many cool cars that I've always wanted but yet to drive.

Can you real count stuff that was never driven? I mean the 2k2 racecar? I owned a Honda Prelude for 3 days and abandoned it on the side of the 122nd that I don’t count in my total..

I mean, I paid for it and owned it for about 6 months...it counts.

I wouldn't count a Honda Prelude, either.

Update time

29 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 was very sad)
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, sold to a kid in Phx)
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. Loved that thing. Traded it in for my Tacoma)
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, sold to a guy in LA)
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, sold to a couple in CO)
2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 OffRoad (Current DD and poser Overlander build)

I don't envision much happening car wise for me for quite some time. With houses and my current DD sucking up all extra income I won't have any extra time or money to experiment with cars. Time will certainly tell though.

[coldweatherblue]

34 and feeling like I haven't owned many cars lol.

1977 KZ400 - bought for $700 at age 15 to get transportation. Still own and use for joyriding.

1986 Golf - bought for $1 when I was 16 with a blown headgasket. Fixed the HG, then 5th gear blew, so replaced the trans from a junkyard, drove for 2 years. Sold to a pizza delivery guy.

1988 325i - bought at 18 after I got a job waiting tables. Was my college car, had a lot of good times. Kept the maintenance UTD E30 style but admittedly was not very responsible and ended up R3V-ing it into a creb on a round-a-bout a few days before I was supposed to drive it out to California for medskool. Had this car for 6 years. Sold it to a rally car team for the engine. Shame because the body was in really good shape but I didn't have time to mess with it.

1996 Civic DX - cheap transportation during school. I looked for an E30 after coming to CA but couldn't find the perfect car so drove this for 2.5 years til I got my current E30.

1989 325i AWII - Currently own. DD for 7.5 years, now garage queen. Unlikely to sell as it's semi-restored and appreciating.

2013 Suzuki V-strom 650 - Bought a year ago so I could have a practical vehicle to ride up in the mountains. Funny but camping in a motorcycle actually is less convenient than camping in an E30 but does cause less wear to your car.. great bike, still own.. the above thought process led to:

2019 Tacoma TRD-OR MT - Bought new 1.5 weeks ago to have a camping/dog-friendly vehicle. Will probably DD this for a long time but will still commute with the E30 and drive it for pleasure. Awesome truck but in a way makes me appreciate how exciting the E30 is since the motorcycles had kind of made me feel bored with a "fun car" so driving the E30 now feels great. I've wanted either an M2 or 911 for a while but just didn't make sense (no garage space and utility) as well as the fact that I love driving my E30 because it's fun to drive "slow" but I recognize that if I got a new M2 I'd probably drive way too fast and screw things up..

[Danny]
