Cars you've owned?

I’m not sure if this has been posted b4, but what are your past cars? Here are mine in ascending order. And it’s a lot guys! (Some were at the same time)
1967 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible 289 ($48 and 2x4’s for floor boards) My first car!-1976
1967 Dodge Coronet R/T: the big 440 0ne! Mom’s car for graduation. It was old but it was fast!
(1977)
1971 Super Beetle-did you know they oil in their air cleaners? Neither did I. Levi's lost-sold the POS
1970 383 Road Runner-triple green; my buddies called it a "toad runner" but it was fast!
1967 400 Firebird Convertible with factory a/c!
1968 Dart GT
1972 Dodge 340 Challenger
1969 Chevelle Malibu
1971 383 Charger SE (headlight washers! Really!)
1979 Camaro Rally Sport-no a/c in Texas?
1980 Camaro Rally Sport (needed A/C in Ft Worth Texas)
1983 Mazda RX7 (my first NEW car that my buddy talked me into buying when I wanted a new Z28)
1984 Camaro HO Z28 (the RX just wasn’t doing it) second NEW car; what a POS this car was though!
1968 Chevelle Malibu (bought in California while stationed there and gave it to mom in Massachusetts)
1985 Jeep CJ (Moved to Denver) Jeep was stolen from a Kmart parking lot!
1985 Firebird v8. ( 2 weeks)
1986 Mazda RX7 (the first one was the best car I’d ever had for 8 months!)
1987 Jeep Wrangler Larado (with A/C)
1991 Honda Accord EX Coupe ($5500 hail damage 34 days later)
1985 Toyota Pickup (cheap transportation when I went back to college)
1971 Mustang coupe
1966 Dodge Charger 383(pale yellow show car! I miss this one!!) I always loved these fastback Chargers!
1985 Honda Accord ($300 winter beater)
1990 Honda Accord (needed a more practical car for school and traded the Charger even! WHAT A MORON I WAS in 1993!
1992 Honda Prelude (the accord just wasn’t cool enough)
1991 Toyota 4runner
1994 Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible (my first and last BLACK car)
1998 Toyota 4Runner (kid at the dealership asked what I was thinking when I traded the GT for this one)
1965 Mustang coupe (red “A” code automatic restored for $5500) sold to a 20 year old kid!
1971 Corvette Convertible (46K original miles; nice 350-4speed car with a/c) summer only ride
1999 Mustang GT Convertible
2005 Toyota v8 Sport
2001 Corvette Convertible (speedway white) wish I’d kept this one!
2005 Mustang GT (modified supercharged Vitesse tuner throwback with shaker hood, louvers, and 20”wheels- too much attention and just didn’t like this car! 30 days traded. I missed my Convertible
2001 Corvette Convertible (millennium yellow) I actually shed a tear or two when this one went but really never drove it and still owed too much on it.(I paid way too much but hated that 05 Mustang)
1972 Super Beetle-restored autostick. Did I really need 3 cars? SOLD on Ebay
2007 Honda Element (I hated this car; the seatbelts sucked and the red looked purple-30 days)
2007 4runner v8 Limited (missed my 05)
2008 Mustang Bullitt (black #87. I lied about my last black mustang being my last black car!) I missed having a “man” car when the Vette went. Unlike my past 2005 GT, this one I love. The simplicity is amazing!

Every car on my list was in great shape if not new. Other than that first Ford or the $300 Honda, they were clean cars.
How about you? Anybody had more cars than this? I guess I just love cars! And I rarely made money on any of them!

1978 Mustang II, Orange, The Orange Bomb
1966 Thunderbird Landau, Emberglo, The 66

1966 Mustang Sprint 6 Red at first the redone White, Muskrat (see below)
1987 Lincoln Mark VII, Champaign, Mark (The *best* car I've owned so far...)
1995 Lincoln Mark VIII, Green, The Powerful Mark VIII (The *worst* car I've owned so far...)

1991 Ford Ranger Supercab XLT 3.0L V6 5 speed manual (good truck)
1994 Ford Escort 4 door 1.9L I4 5 speed manual (wife hated me for buying her this car)
1996 Dodge Ram Extended Cab 5.9L auto (my first new vehicle, had plenty of power, then started falling apart)
1998 Chrysler Concorde 3.5L V6 auto (great concept, awful quality)
1999 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4L V8 auto (should have never traded it in)

Current cars:

yep this one was the mid-year model change so it had the flush headlights and 205hp plus they only made 439 of them. I was 19 when I got it and now wish I still had it!! I will be a decent collector one day. They were amazing cars with the koni struts and shocks, big brakes etc. The handling was AWESOME!!
