This was born out of the stupid question thread where it was pointed out that it should really be it's own thing, so here we are.
I'm pretty sure I'm not going to remember all my vehicles but I think it'd be fun to try. Please include RVs or motorcycles or whatever if you want in your list:
- 89 Nissan 240sx (written off)
- 87 Toyota Supra (actually 1/3 5spd supra, 1/3 auto supra, 1/3 grand national, PO used a bunch of the EGR and vacuum stuff from it) (sold)
- 93 Nissan Maxima (sold)
- 95 Nissan Maxima (bought to flip) (sold)
- 91 Nissan 240sx (sold)
- 95 Ford Explorer (for $300 bucks!) (sold)
- 02 Ford Focus (sold)
- 96 Nissan Pathfinder (sold)
- 1998 Subaru WRX STI V-Ltd (sold)
- 2007 Volkswagen GTI (current car)
I'm in my late 30s, Canadian who owned all these cars on the west coast.
It's interesting to note your demographics because I think the length of these lists will vary by where you all are at, ie rust belt people maybe go through more cars? I would think too given the cost of insurance and life in general that younger people are going to have held onto cars for longer. If you're comfortable sharing please feel encouraged to do so, if you don't want to that's obviously fine as well.

Do people in the states have to pay tax when they buy a used car (from another person not a used car lot)? If so you've probably bought a stadium for a few cities?

The most interesting lists to me are the ones in which is expressed some kind of enduring preference. Like, this one:
I don't venture around much.
1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera
1995 Oldsmobile Achieva
1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
2004 Ford Mustang GT
1999 Ford Explorer Sport
2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1
2007 Mercury Grand Marquis
It just seems so statistically unlikely that every single vehicle owned by someone would be domestics, over the course of 8 vehicles. I guess if one of the vehicles is a mustang it becomes quite a lot more likely that the rest of the cars would be domestics but I have a hard time articulating why.

33, lived in TX my whole car owning life
1990 Chevy Suburban 4x4 1500 - inherited when I was 15, still daily drive it, will die still owning it
1997 Toyota Camry - purchased to commute in 07? Words are inadequate to express my hatred of this car
1986? Chevy Suburban 4x4 1500 - intended as a project. Bought with a blown motor, swapped in another, also turned out to be blown. I was much younger then and scrapped it after that to keep the city off my rear end.
1982 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser - with the 5.7 diesel! Long term project that I really need to finish and start driving
1998 Saturn SL2 - My other current daily driver
1999 Saturn SC2 - bought to be my sister's car, was hers in high school, became mine again, is now in CO on loan to my brother, will return to me again someday
2001 Saturn SL1 - technically belonged to my ex, but since I performed and paid for all maintenance on it for close to a decade, I'm counting it. This car is the reason I keep buying Saturns
On the hunt for a Saturn wagon to complete the trio
I've never met someone who owned a saturn and wanted another - what do you like about them so much?
