Parents let me drive:
Mazda 323F, can't remember what plate but it was old skool and had the flip up headlights lol, fun car to drive and felt 'sporty'
Nissan Bluebird 2.0 felt fast but like a barge pole, lots of lean in to corners

Bought myself
2005-2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 P reg, £650 LOL, 83k miles on clock, sold to scrappers at 103k miles and they gave me £150 back , felt like a barge pole and was terrible to take in to corners at any speed took like 15seconds to do 0-60mph

2008-present Honda S200 52 reg £10.5k, 33k miles, 43k now. Love it. Dreamy to drive, stiff, fun past 5-6k+ but not so fun below, okay mileage, love beasting it

1982 Chevy Citation - awesome college car, 30MPG hwy, great hatch
1984 Jeep Cherokee - drove it a year or so before the Eclipse, hated this thing
1991 Eclipse GS Turbo - I still miss that car, this car just fit me in every way, surprisingly reliable given Mitsu's reputation
2000 Nissan Maxima GLE - still drive her 400+ miles/wk, 205K+ and solid as a rock
2004 Mazda6 Wagon - drove it a year or so while my wife drove the Max, traded it in on her Odyssey. More fun than the Max but hated the interior.
2007 Honda Odyssey - my wife's mom-mobile. Great all-around vehicle for our needs, gets 25MPG hwy if I'm careful, though my wife averages ~17 (99% city driving)

We've always had multiple vehicles, generally older ones, so others that we've owned over the last 15+ years:
1990(?) Buick Park Avenue - my wife inherited it from her grandmother, she loved it, I hated it
1988(?) Olds 98 - I inherited this one from my grandfather, boring as hell, sold it after a year or so
1992 GMC Sonoma - my wife inherited this from her grandfather. We still drive it a couple of times a month, it's a POS but always nice to have a truck
1992 Nissan Sentra - my wife's car when I met her, lifeless but good econobox
1998 Ford E150 Conversion Van - ridiculous size, comfortable, feels like you're going to tip over in a strong crosswind, used to get 18MPG hwy, now it's about 12. I want to dump it, wife refuses even though we only use it 4-5 times a year.

Other toys we still own:
1992 Honda Nighthawk 250 - small bike but good enough for us. We rarely drive it, just a fun "around the neighborhood" toy. My wife wants to trade up but there really isn't a need right now.
1998 Regal 2100LSR (runabout boat) - had to take her apart last weekend to replace some rotted rubber (primarily exhaust bellows). Should be back in the water this weekend - love this boat. 5.7L Volvo Penta is a great match for this boat.
1993 pontoon boat (brain fart - can't remember the model) - I'd like to dump this one too but my wife likes it. It's a PITA having two boats but only one slip.

1989 Suzuki Samauri 1.3L Manual perfect for the snow in Thunder Bay, god I loved this car

1963 Corvette Convertible 4 speed
1997 Dodge Avenger 2.5L automatic Horrible car, just terrible I prayed every day that it would die, the first and last automatic I will own
2002 Subaru Impreza 2.5L awd 5 speed, so fun, but no leg room
2006 Nissa Altima 2.5L 5 speed remarkably fun for a 4 door tan sedan, I want to replace it, especially now thats its been rearended, but nothing really fits

[CptCrunch]

1990 Chevy Cavalier - 60k miles for 1400 at a local city auction. First car. Was a huge POS, only option it had was automatic transmission. Had to shift it manually to get any power out of it. Made lots of noises when I floored it, but it didn't help with the go.

1992 Buick Century - 102k Totaled the Cavalier and bought this car cause it had everything the cavalier didn't: ac, pw, pl, 6 seats, large back seat (i was in HS ) and better gas mileage than the Cavalier. Sold it a year and a half later with 122k.

1993 Pontiac Bonneville - 88k Great car, absolutely loved this car. Nice, big, boaty feeling with the best leather seats with 9 way power I have ever sat in. Sunroof, premium stereo and the power of the 3.8l Buick motor, decent gas mileage. Great highway cruising car. Had to sell the car cause the front end was going out at 98k.

2006 Toyota Corolla Bought new with 8 miles on it. Nice car, econobox but decent. Hard plastic interior, great gas mileage 31+, but power can be lacking at times. Bought 17" matrix xrs rims to replace the steelies. Will keep this until I kill it or wraps around a tree.

2005 Ford Taurus Wifeys car with 68k. I absolutely hate this car, boaty feeling in all the bad ways, bad brakes, horrible pickup, and the transmission is the worst piece of shit I have ever had the displeasure of driving. Interior is falling apart, and has hard plastics abound. Good mpg though, 24-25 daily use, 29mpg on a all high way trip at 75-80mph. I hope to get rid of this soon and get her into a used G35.

 

[Mide]

1994 Honda Civic DX - 75K Ol' reliable until it got closer to the 10 year mark...then shit started breaking
2005 Saab 9-2x - Good Subaru engine in it but I didn't like driving a stick.
2006 Honda Civic EX - Great car, good design, good gas mileage. I shouldn't have sold it.
2008 Subaru Impreza Wagon - 4-speed auto sucks ass...no acceleration whatsoever. Needs Turbo in the WRX. Nice redux on exterior design. Gas mileage not great
2006 Saab 9-5 - Great looks, horrible gas mileage, Excellent turbo, interior things were breaking left and right, audio system could not "randomize" songs properly
2009 Honda Fit Sport - Best gas mileage ever, no power for passes or on-ramp merging, like the looks. No steering wheel audio controls.

Heh - my brother-in-law bought a Zodiac this year except I think it has 50HP. That thing is pretty damned quick but I don't think I'd want to go top speed in it (he claims it will go 50MPH). My pontoon is huge but only has 90HP so it's pretty sluggish.

1972 Ford Maverick Coup - 4.9L V8 (No, I'm not THAT old), I got this for $500 from a neighbor back in 1996. It was the car I learned how to drive in and my driver's test. All it needed was an oil change, coolant flush, belts, hoses and filters. The body had lots of random dents and damage and the interior was peeling all over the place but the engine was sweet. It last me all of 4 months before I flipped it.

1989 Ford Temp - I got this for $200. The guy was willing to pay me to take it off his property, LOL. It was a piece of crap car. When I flushed out the coolant, it oozed out a nice brown/black color. I didn't even want to deal with repairs so I drove it like no tomorrow, expecting it to explode one day. The 3 speed auto didn't even engage 3rd gear so it was fun driving down the freeway at almost redline in 2nd gear and the car shaking like a 9.0 earthquake. It amazingly last me a year (about 11,000 miles) with NO MAINTENANCE and I ended up junking it to get my next car.

1996 KIA Sportage - Ahh, this is part of my handle for good reason. It was RWD manual with no options except radio. I got it with a salvaged title for $1200, my most expensive purchase thus far. This car was a POS and I drove it like a POS but omg, it last me nearly 10 years with only normal maintenance. This was one of my best investments I have ever made. I put 185,000 miles on it and I ended up giving it away for my next car but before that, I had to buy a car for the wife.

2005 Honda Civic EX - Wife wanted a new car with less than 10 miles. We had our eyes set on an LX but was sold on the EX because of the moonroof (and $2500 premium!!!). Great running car requiring only standard maintenance. Still own this car (wifey's car).

2006 BMW 330i loaded except cold package - This was my splurge car. I loved the newly designed 3 series and saved enough money by driving my old KIA, that this was the right move. This is a LUXURY car first, quiet, smooth, comfortable and performance sedan second. Check out the noise rating going 70mph compared to other luxury cars and you might be surprised. Although the 18" staggered RFT replacement gets expensive, all other maintenance is covered.

1983 Mazda GLC -- Cheap car. Ran okay until my roommate blew the engine out. He ended up buying a similar car that gave him problems like crazy.
1984 Nissan 200sx -- Got the car at 165k miles for 2k and drove it to 260k. Replaced the clutch once and a bunch of other things. Engine ran perfectly but the steering had issues. Left it at work until it got towed.
1990 240SX -- Still have it. 241k miles. Works great just like when I bought it. Replaced half the stuff under the hood though.
2003 Infiniti G35 -- Immaculate and superb car. Loved driving it until when I sold it 2 years ago.
2005 Mazda 6 hatchback -- Dependable and good looking car. I however had a love/hate relationship with it. The body felt like it was made out of really thin steel. It was okay to drive but it did have a very wide turning radius. Ended up selling it since I wanted something more exciting.
2008 G37 -- Have it. Love it. Exciting.
