Default Vehicles Owned?

Hello,
As a fellow car enthusiast, I am curious to know what everyone has owned throughout their life. I am sure my list will be very short and boring compared to most. I am listing mine in the order purchased and also the years I had them, but feel free to list as you want:

1. 1988-1/2 Honda Prelude 5spd - 2002
2. 1995 Ford Thunderbird V8 - 2002-2003
3. 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra 5.0 5spd (Supercharger added) 2003-2004
4. 2002 Honda Accord LX 5spd - 4 door, 4 cylinder 2004-2006
5. 2003 Toyota Celica GT-S 6spd (this car is the reason I bought the Crossfire) 2006-2008
6. 1994 Ford Thunderbird V8 2008-2009
7. 2007 Mitsubishi Galant (Base, 4 cylinder) 2008-2011
8. 1988 Ford Mustang GT 5spd, Convertible 2008-2009
9. 1984 Mitsubishi Montero 5spd 2009-2015
10. 2007 Ford Expedition EL (2011-Current - Family hauler)
11. 2000 Buick LeSabre 2014-2015
12. 2007 Chrysler Crossfire ltd 6spd (2015-Current - Not family hauler)

The Crossfire is easily the favorite of all the vehicles I have owned. 2nd place would go to the Celica GT-S which actually felt very similar to the Crossfire. I know, completely different setup - but I think it is the way you sit in the Crossfire that reminds me of how the Celica felt. 3rd place would be the Cobra Mustang. It was a love/hate relationship, but it did have its moments (whenever I wasn't replacing something).

Here's mine:

1967 Galaxy 500 - 390 CI White with night mist blue roof - no A pillars. One powerful car
1967 Chevelle - 289 power glide (Wish I still had this car)
1973 Pontiac Grand Prix 400 CI 4 barrel (loved this car insdie and out
1981 Dodge Challenger - 2.6 Hemi 4 banger - Fun car. Built by Mistsubishi
1987 Chrysler Conquest - 2.6 Hemi with Turbo - one of my favorite cars. Loved the looks, the handling and the tech on this car. Still wish I had it.
1985 Mazda 626 - Good car but under whelming
1993 Ford Taurus LX - 3 litter 6. It was the LX with the Body cladding- Looked like the SHO. I actually really like this car but hand tranny problems with it.
1987 Pontiac Montana (for the wife and kids) mini-van - nuff said
2001 Olds Sihoutte Mini van (for the wife and kids) nuff said
2000 Pontiac Bonneville SLE - Great car. Still have it (or my son does) ~180K on it. Runs great. Other things going wrong but still solid. Still like the looks. It's got all the body clad, spoiler etc. Much nicer than the SE.
2008 Chrysler Town and Country Limited - Yes, another mini van. Very Nice vehicle. Fully load with TVs, etc. etc. Great for Road trips. Will keep it until the wheels fall off because I have my other two cars...........
2009 Pontiac G8 - Red 3.6 Liter This is my current daily driver. Love this car. Very few around, great looking car and recently added to the 10 cars people wish were still produced.
2004 - Crossfire --- I of course love my XFire. Plan to for many many years to come.

4 or 5 years ago a guy who worked for me said how many cars have you owned. I started a list and remembered over 70 cars trucks motorcycles and motorhomes. Had 3 more since then. Boats would add a few more. Oops make that 4 more since then. I bought another Crossfire Sunday. I was a parts and service director for a company that owned multiple dealerships for twenty five years. There were just so many cars and so llittle time I couldn't help myself.

PNA - Cool list! I almost bought an Mitsubishi Starion (Chrysler Conquest). Fun car, unfortunately the one I test drove had suspension issues - so it killed the deal. Powerful motor though. The 84 Mitsubishi Montero had the 2.6l that you could bolt a turbo from the Conquest directly on.

Thank you ashonfire. I actually did search (honest) but obviously I did not look hard enough. :-)
