How many cars have you owned?

[vujade]

I'm not just talking about VDubs either. I mean everything.

I have owned a total of 19 now. I have been driving since I was 15 & I am now 34. So that equals out to 1 new car per year. Im sure it was always 1 per year, sometimes I had as many as 5 at once, but you get the picture.

I think I better start buying some more VW's or I might get behind.... :D

1985 VW Golf also still own
1970 VW karman ghia also still own 65000 original miles
but I did good soo far

[oasis]

Okay, here goes in Year Model (years owned) comment order:

1969 Ford Mustang Fastback (1973-76) fold-down rear seat
1976 Ford Econoline E-150 (1976-80) more room than a fold-down rear seat
1965 Ford Falcon 4-door (1977-78) first second car and for just $75
1972 Ford Maverick (1980-82) interim car owned way too long
1979 Fiat Brava (1982-87) "Fix It Again Tony" was fun too drive
1986 VW Jetta GLI (1986-2001) quarter-million miler got me started on VWs*
1985 Mazda RX-7 (1987-91) wife bought it new ... zoom zoom
1985 VW Vanagon (1991-97) more practical and surprisingly fun
1981 VW Pickup LX (1992-97) first third car I wish I still had
1993 VW EuroVan MV Westy (1997- ) pop-top open-roader
2001 VW Jetta (2000-01) co-owned and driven by my dad
2002 VW Passat (2001- ) same as above ... my dad just turned 87**
2002 VW Cabrio GLX (2001- ) finally a drop-top to go with my pop-top
2002 VW Golf TDI (2002- ) it's nice to get 40-50 mpg again
1971 VW Super Beetle (2004- ) ahhh ... air-cooled, finally

* technically, my dad's 1966 VW Beetle got me started as I was driving that when I was 12. In 1973, my dad talked me out of buying a new VW Thing; then talked me out of a 1972 VW Karmann Ghia convertible and a 1968 Mustang convertible. It would be 13 years before I finally bought a VW and 28 years before I bought a convertible ... and will be 31 years before an air-cooled VW is purchased.

** my dad's list would be v-e-r-y impressive. Ironically, he owned many convertibles and loved his '66 Beetle.

[super vw]

Me, i am only 17 but im on a good start :P
Right now i own 3 cars...

-74 Super beetle (first car, got it when i was 13.. still in construction)

How bad is this. I count em up. Then that night I'll remember one more. Start all over again. Then a few days later remember one more. Guess I gotta write the list down. Must be at least 20. Fifty percent had to be air cooled, and most of those were projects (only half of which got finished :D ). So lets really get down to it. How many of you can remember how many girl friends (and one night stands) you've had. :cool:
Don't list them, it might come back to haunt you. ;)
