List of cars you've owned

I've only been driving for 12 years and there's nothing impressive compared to most of you but here it goes in chronological order:

- 1995 Mercedes S124 E250D (dad's car, leaned to drive on this one, sold at 500,000 km and regret it)
- 1997 Citroën Jumpy 1.9TD
- 1997 Renault Express 1.9D
- 1994 Renault Clio 1.2
- 1998 Mercedes W210 E280 V6 (first proper car, totaled but saved my life 3 months later when sliding on ice)
- 1995 Mercedes W202 C200D
- 1995 Mercedes W124 E200
- 1998 Mercedes W202 C180 (main car for years, extreme reliability and ease of maintenance)

Sammy & Wings,
Are there any of these vehicles that you's wish that you still had? I know that I have a few!
Oh yeah. 1972 Olds Cutlass Supreme / 1972 Chevy Malibu.
Not long after letting those go..... that creeping feeling of "why did I do that?" set in pretty quickly.

There are two cars I would absolutely own to this day if I ever fell into unlimited funds. Those would be the two I have liked since the very first time I laid eyes on them. A 1970 Plymouth GTX and a late 70s Pontiac Lemans Sports Coupe (very limited/rare).

26 vehicles in 13 years of driving. Makes me wonder how often do you replace cars? (Dealers aside, as you guys go through 26 vehicles in a week lol.) Vehicles registered to you that is, not family/friends, or other cars you maintain. If I included those, then the list would be 5 times as long. 😂

not that many for 60 years of driving. But I did not include the motorcycles.
 
I flipped a few cars in my list as well. I didn't buy all of them in chronological order. For example, I bought the 1967 Monaco in '76 and the same for the LeSabre etc.
Others I bought used just a few years old and some I bought brand new. Although I love new vehicles, I've had more used vehicle than brand new. A few that I bought were a complete mistake and I got rid of it soon before they became a money pit.
