This doesn't include the cars that my parents had that I drove and worked on on a regular basis before I got married:
'77 Chrysler Newport 400/727 (Ran like a scalded cat after the faulty Lean Burn was removed, sleeper for what it was. Huge back seat.)
'76 Toyota Corolla 1.6/auto (Underpowered tin can.)
'76 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham 400/TH400 (Beautiful car, like a couch on wheels, electrical gremlins, excellent Pontiac V8)
'76 Ford Granada 250/C4 (Great car, incredible A/C)
'73 Buick Regal 350/TH 350 (Beautiful car, tight.)
'77 Chrysler Cordoba 400/727 (Beautiful car, comfy, should have dumped the finicky Lean Burn on this one too.)
'79 Buick LeSabre Limited 350/TH350 (Great car all around.)
'81 Dodge Omni 2.2/auto (Clean cheapie that turned out to be a money pit. The 2.2 moved this tin can well.)
'76 Ford Pinto 2.3/C3 (Reliable tractor with four seats)
'82 Ford F100 pickup 232 V6/3speed (Great truck by itself but the early, rare 3.8 V6/3 speed manual combo ran like an out of balance washing machine. Gearing made 1st feel like 2nd.)
Whew...
