How many cars have you owned?

[Meatspin]

Random thought I just had - how many cars have you owned so far? I worked it out as 8.

Bonus points for pics. Let's see em.

 

[William Huggins]

Only 6 .........

 

[ricc505]

Over 25

It's definitely over 50 including motorcycles, atvs , and dirt bikes

Edit: 29 cars and trucks

 

[Satur9]

17 if my memory is correct. That only includes cars/suvs. Would go through a beater or so a year back in the day. Or when the funds from being tax-time/hood rich went dry.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Bout tree fiddy

18 including motorcycles and boats. I've bought 2 new cars in my life and still have both of them: 16 4Runner and 11 F150.

[Sonny Qc]

I'm 38, 8.
got my 1st car at 16.

Pontiac Sunbird 94
Mazda Protege 96'
Honda Accord 97'
Dodge Caravan 99'
Hyundai Accent 05'
Ford Focus 12'
Chevy Colorado 09'
Chevy Trax 18'

Whatever I get next will be a restored Vintage truck.
I don't trust new cars tbh,
most parts you can change yourself anymore
LED headlight that cost 2000$ to change
Planned obsolescence.


Restored cars from the 80s early 90s are cheaper than a new car anyway.

Star next to the ones I still have. I'd say the BMW (1988, 3 litre) was the best overall - comfortable, just the right power (yes you can have too much - especially with cameras everywhere nowadays), nice sound, smooth and stable, could still find good mechanics to work on it, cool 1990s ex-commieblock mafia vibe; - but my craving for 1980s Japanese shoeboxes takes priority so I only kept it a couple of years...

Yeah the only post 2000- car I had was the Skoda (an ex undercover police car, the dealer told me (only when I arrived to buy it of course) - (I did wonder what idiot would own a car like that (apart from me of course), since it was an exec car but with a manual & in the highest tax band) - I figured 'at least parts will be plenty and cheap, VAG group ftw', but at the first MOT I had to replace the headlights (because the 'ballast' had expired or some shit and you have to replace the entire units) and lmao at the price of new ones; the garage also said the exhaust might need replacing soonish and double plus lmao at the price of that.
I got some headlights very cheap out of a scrapyard instead (but they weren't 'xenon' so that caused an error message to bleep annoyingly when starting), and though I told myself when buying it I didn't care about the tax I thought 'fuck that shit' the first time it came round again and sold it after 1 year.

Nissan Laurel is new to me, googling it now

I'm 50.

1st Car at 16:
1980 Pontiac Sunbird

This was my first car. It sat behinds someone's garage for a few years because it didn't run. I bought it for $100. All I had to do is put a new distributor cap on it and put the wires on right and it ran. Only had 60k miles on it. The exhaust rusted out sitting in the snow so I fixed it with a few soup cans. Took out the back seats as mice chewed them up and put two huge speakers and sub back there....lol.

Next car was a 1983 Plymouth Caravelle:

Basically like any of Chrysler's K cars back then. Big piece of shit but was low old lady miles when I got it. I ended up selling to a coworker who got his girlfriend knocked up and they needed a reliable car. I gave them a good deal on it to help them out.


Next was a 1988 Chevy S10 4x4 extended cab Pickup:

This is the car I loved the most in my life. I bought it with about 80k miles on it but it was mint. Had the big 4.3L V6 and it could get up and go pretty good for a little truck. Mine had a some lift added to it compared the one in the picture. It was 4x4 and the extended cab had these little fold down seats in the back that folded out of the side of the wall and you had to sit sideways in the back. Only a midget could actually use them. I used it for hunting and fishing and drove it with little issue for 300k miles when the body started to rust out bad. I sold it to my cousin and he put another 100k on it and ended up using it for auto cross racing at the end. She went out with a bang, a great well used truck. RIP.

After that I owned a 2001 Saturn S-Series, a 1996 Chevy Corsica, a 2002 Chevy Malibu, 2005 Ford Explorer, 2014 Suburu Forester, 2012 Kia Forte, 2014 Kia Soul, and 2012 Honda Civic.

So I have owned 11 so far not counting a few I bought cheap, fixed and flipped. I usually roll with older used cars because they're actually more reliable than 2018ish or newer cars and I can usually buy 2-3 low milage used older cars for the price of a brand new car right now.

7, not including the one my wife brought into the marriage.

We keep our cars for a long time.

Also had 5 motorcycles.

Yeah, I usually drive my cars until the wheels fall off or they get totaled.
