Thought I posted on this thread...maybe it was a similar one.

1974 VW Dasher (bought before I had my license)
1978 Ford Mustang (4 cyl with lots of issues)
1986 Chrysler Laser (first "new" car out of college, fast but a POS)
1988 Honda Civic (spouse's first new car, ran great)
1991 Acura Integra (traded in Laser)
1993 Ford Explorer (traded in Civic, wanted bigger vehicle)
1998 Subaru Outback (traded in Integra)
2001 Toyota Highlander (traded in Exploder which was having lots of issues)
2009 Volvo S40
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Still have the last 3 vehicles. The Highlander has been having some problems lately but overall it's still running pretty well.

My list is still the same as when this thread was started.

87 VW Golf (totaled :( )
87 VW GTI (totaled :( )
90 Chevy S10 Blazer
86 VW Golf
91 VW Passat
79 Jeep J10
82 Jeep J10
78 Jeep Cherokee WT
01 VW Passat wagon

I've liked every vehicle I've owned, for different reasons. The 01 Passat fits me best right now, but the 87 GTI was my favorite, I miss it all the time. All the VWs are fun to drive, they were all manual shift cars. Actually, out of the 9 listed 6.5 of them were sticks (the Blazer started life as a stick and then got switched to a slush box when I blew up the manual tranny). There's also a few vehicles that I owned but never quite made it back to the road. 70 Jeep Commando, 71 Jeep J4000, and 81 Jeep J10.

Other than the 1972 Maverick which was a family hand-me-down, all were new cars. The Dodge Caravan was the only car I didn't run into the ground. I traded it for more than I paid for it.
