1989 Ford Thunderbird(Got it in 1999-2000 when I first started driving)
1995 Chevy Beretta(got the car in 2001-42,000 miles-$4200 bucks-drove that car about 8 years)
2003 Chevy Cavalier(my wife's car when we got married, I ended up commuting in it for a while though)
2001 Ford Taurus(Good car, 3.0 v6, paid $3200 with with 109,000, had some work done to it, but sold it running at 195,000)
2006 Dodge Stratus(met an early demise at 151,000 miles, broke the crankshaft somehow---reason we needed the sonic)
2013 Ford Focus(bought used earlier this year with 16,000 on it. Now has about 30,000)
2016 Chevy Sonic sedan LT with 1.8(Not even 2,000 miles yet, motor just getting broken in)
Glad to have 2 newer cars. Not our first choice, but there is talk of my job moving further out, making my commute about 55-60 miles one way. So 550-600 miles a week. Good news is my wife works only about 10 minutes from home. So we are splitting the cars. I drive the sonic for a week, she drives the focus, then we switch for the following week and so on. That way one car does not get beat half to death. I figured that if I drove the sonic every day, you are talking 28,000 miles a year give or take. I figure that over 6 years is 168,000 miles. However since we are splitting cars at least that will save about half that.

1999 Ford Contour SE Sport (2.5V6 5MT) I ended up selling it because I got sick of replacing the alternator every year...
2003 Ford Mustang GT (4.6V8 5MT) My post-college toy. I sold it to my brother-in-law after I moved to Georgia
2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Sport (2.5H4 5MT) The replacement for the Contour, I totalled it after an ice storm in 2012.
2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS (1.4I4T 6MT) The Scooby's replacement and current DD. Also, my first ever new car.

1994 Dakota ext cab v8 4x4 - awesome first vehicle
2005 Subaru legacy - used for college, lifted with coilovers, enjoyed.
1977 Chevy truck - first toy
2000 jeep Cherokee - girlfriend at the time was looking to purchase a car for the first time (sold her first car her parents got her, and she and her dad shared a car for a while since they worked at the same place). I lifted it, 32's, custom bumpers and rockers, Ford 8.8 swap. Fun and capable rig
1994 dodge cummins dually
2001 beater Saturn - used for 4 months and put a ton of miles commuting until I moved
2003 gmc 1500hd quadrasteer- if it wasn't starting to rust, I would have put some work into it and kept it
1946 cj2a willys - current project with 3800sc on 4 link suspension and 36's
2014 ashen gray rs auto, traded the gmc in on it for the sonic for my wife to drive
Bought but never driven vehicles, how many people can say that?
1993 jeep Cherokee, bought it for the lift from a buddy, he just wanted the rims and tires back
1998 dodge ram sport. Bought for the tires, ended up with a utility trailer from the box, wrangler Rubicon rims to swap the tires on for the Cherokee, a 2 ton cherry picker, and made some money
2001 Cherokee - bought for the transfer case, but that didn't turn out to be the problem
1992 s10 - bought for trans and transfer case for the Willy's, but ended up being the wrong trans... Pulling the case and output shaft to swap into a 2wd trans I picked up after.
Don't think I'm missing anything

- 2003 Honda Odyssey EX-L, got my G2. Mom bough a new Subaru Impreza touring, got the mini van. It got T-boned by a red light runner writing it off, still miss that van. Did lots of road trips, and camping in the back of it.
- Poverty spec 2007 2wd V6 Nissan Frontier, dad got it for family use. My dad bought it off where he worked for cheap. Rolled it on a back road at 80kph. Got wrote off.
- 2003 Pontiac Vibe AWD. Got it after I wrote the truck off. Sold it for $1200 as-is when it needed $5000+ in work to be safe. Used that $1200+$300 for a down payment for my Sonic.
I miss having a V6.
