Not necessarily cars you've driven, but how many were YOUR cars...ie, not a spouse, but your regular driver? And how many years have you been driving?

Me: Driving 16 years
Cars Owned: 2
First Car: Toyota celica that I put 124,000 miles on
Current Car: Acura TSX I have 116k miles, bought it with 20k on it


Not bad, 2 cars in 16 years :0074

Driving for 31 almost 32 years, I have driven every one I have owned. I have owned a Chevy Caprice Classic, Pontiac Bonneville, Catalina, Delta 88, Cutlass, Pinto (no back bumper), Festiva, another Catalina (no back bumper either, got ripped off at Grant Park underground parking garage after I backed into a Jaguar and locked up the bumpers during Blues Fest), Plymouth Sport Fury, Buick LeSabre (blew it up in Death Valley drunk), Nissan 300zx with T-tops, Mazda Mx-3, Chrysler Conquest, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford F250 diesel, Nissan Titan, Ford F150, Ford Taurus, Honda Accord and I am missing a couple I just can't remember them at the moment.

Hope that helps,
FDC

1987 Toyota PU. Got it used at about 60,000 and ran it until it reached 320,000 miles.
2003 Toyota Tundra V6. Bought it at 30,000 and was at 100,000 miles when I crashed on the freeway and landed upside down. :scared
2009 Kia Optima. Had it until some young woman slammed me at a intersection. :facepalm:
2009 Hyundai Sonata. Currently at about 35,000 miles and thankfully no accidents. :SIB

Hell I don't have a clue, been driving for 50 years. I'll take this under advisement and get back to you.

How many different pick up long beds have you and twelve other of your countrymen relied on for a ride to and from work every day for the last 60 years though?


Just saying :shrug:
