'87 Integra
'92 Integra
'96 Contour GL (Zetec)
'95 Contour LX (Duratec) AND '03 Mazda 6i
That's it. I've been driving 14 years and have had four cars...five, if you count my wife's Mazda that's our "primary" car now (i.e. we take it most times when we're going somewhere together).

thanks - i know the one I linked was a 1977 but I couldn't find a more recent one online!
btw - this list did not include the wife's cars or the many collector cars I have wasted my kid's eventual inheritence on!

Rolled it. Ouch. 1969 Mustang Grande. Stolen within hours of moving to Boston in 1977. 1969 Mach I with 7 of 8 Cleveland head cylinders working well. Sold it for $50 and it died two weeks later. 1964 VW Beetle. Got it over 70 mph on long downhills. 1971 Mustang. Also was stolen in Boston and trashed by joyriders. 1972 Saab 99. Neat little car, loved baffling people with where did the key go. 1978 Olds 98. Hey, it was a two door! Sporty! 1985 Olds 88 wagon. Moved a full sized couch across the country. Olds cutlass ciera with 3.8L and handling package. Damn $20 timing chain tensioner went. Plymouth minivan. The ex got it. Good riddance to both. 1988 Corolla. Went thru three clutches in under 100K. 2000 Nissan Frontier 4x4. Still have it. CSVT, love it.
