Cars you've owned previously...
Daily Drivers:

'03 Dodge Ram... hell of fun, had to trade it in due to a very long commute and paying aroudn $200 a week for gas.
'04 Chrylser Crossfire... current.

Let's see. We'll start back in 1995, when I was 16.
1988 Honda Accord LX-i (traded-in)
1989 Honda CRX Si (traded-in)
1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse (traded-in)
1995 (or 96?) Nissan 200SX SE (traded-in)
1993 Nissan 300ZX (totaled by my sister; parents had paid it off, so it only had liability)
1996 Mazda 626 LX (traded-in)
1997 Honda Prelude (traded-in)
2000 Infiniti G20t (traded-in)
2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe (traded-in)
2004 Acura TL 6-speed (traded-in)
2004 Nissan 350Z Touring (totaled when the rear tires blew out on I-85)
2005 Nissan Pathfinder SE (wrecked but not totaled, and then traded-in)
2004 Mazda RX-8 (traded-in)
**At this point, I needed to have two cars due to my job**
2004 GMC Envoy SLT (I still have this one; was using it for work)
2000 BMW 323Ci (traded-in, as it was a money pit)
2003 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 (auto)
2004 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe (auto)
So, I currently have the Envoy and the Crossfire. However, I recently changed jobs and I now have a county car to drive while at work. So, the Envoy may be getting sold! It is parked in the garage now due to gas prices!

16 years of driving, 14 years of ownership, 3 cars.
1: 1979 Datsun 280ZX known as the smurfmobile. Paint was so oxidized that if you ran your hand across the car, it would turn your hand blue.
2: 1988 Dodge Omni
3: 1995 Chevy Camaro (Bought in 1996 and still driving it)
Did also buy a 2008 Mazda3 but that is the wife's car.

In 1994 - 1986 Jeep Cherokee, Red, 2.5L V6: A beast in snow, 0-60 when it felt like it, only options were auto trans and steering, AM radio
In 1995 - 1995 Subaru Impreza L AWD, Red, 1.8L I4: Possibly slower than the Jeep, incredible cornering, decent CD sound system
In 1998 - 1998 Subaru Forrester L AWD, Wine Red, 2.5L I4: Crazy low lease price, Soccer Mom utility, loved snow, suprisingly good sound system
In 2000 - 2000 Pontiac Trans Am, Red, 5.7L V8: Very, very fast, awesome sound system, LOVED this car, had 99k+ when I traded it in, still hurts
In 2008 - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6, SSB, S/C 3.2L V6: Took some sting out of trading in the TA, retarded fast, incredible looks, my favorite to date

Ok, here goes. My cars, in order of ownership. Wiki links provided for those who don't know what I'm on about.
1970 Morris Minor - 1000cc - Blue - great car
1984 Skoda Estelle 102S 1000cc - "Champaigne Beige" (ie salad cream yellow)
Skoda Estelle 130 5 speed 1200cc (only had this a couple of weeks because it was rubbish) - blue
Y Reg Skoda Favorit Estate - 1200cc - white
2001 Skoda Felicia Estate - 1200cc - "Petrel Green"
2006 Crossfire Coupe - "Graphite"/"Crystal Slate" (colour name varies depending on who I speak to - see picture below)
You can see a pattern here. It's been mostly Skodas, and they have been good, solid reliable workhorses, with some excellent service and backup when needed.

Not a long list, but have enjoyed them all:
1967 Ford Mustang Coupe - Got this in high school. Paid $500 for it, and my father and I spent six months restoring it. Gutted it, sanded and painted the interior, all new interior upholstery, all new chrome or rechromed interior parts, exterior sanded to bare metal and painted vintage burgundy with a black top, all new chrome or rechromed exterior parts. About a year later the stock 289 engine was replaced with a real Boss302 engine an old racer had for sale (he also had a real Shelby 428 nascar racing engine, I wish I'd bought that too). I spent two years rebuilding that Boss302, had a custom cam made for it, and installed a Ford 9" with 3:89 traction lock gears in the rear. Probably the fastest car I've had.
1967 Ford Mustang Coupe - Bone stock, but restored by a Vintage Mustang shop in Santa Rosa, CA. It was light metallic blue, with two-tone blue interior. It was a great car, never had a lick of trouble with it.
1989 Saleen Mustang Convertible (seeing a pattern here?) - I lived in San Diego when I owned this car, and it was the perfect SoCal car, practically drove it year around with the top down. Just a fun car and the 5.0 cars are easy to make horsepower with.
1996 Dodge Shelby Edition RT/10 (currently sitting in the garage) - This is a fun car, but it doesn't get driven as much as I imagined it would. Fun yes, but totally impractical. I've installed headers, 3" exhaust, and cat deletes, it's very fast, and sounds awesome at WOT.
2001 Hyundai Elantra - This is currently my commuter car. I live 60 miles from work, and before I found someone to commute with I was racking up over 2500 miles per month on my car (II was driving my Saleen initially, but it was sold and this replaced it until I got the Viper). This car I bought new, and with the money I saved in gas compared to driving the Saleen, it was actaully like getting a free car. I never thought I'd own a Hyundai, but honestly it's been a great, reliable car. No issues with 150K miles on it, and it still gets 32mpg.
2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT - COMING SOON - I've narrowed my hunt down to a couple so hopefully within the next few weeks I'll have a nice silver saphire blue SRT roadster in the driveway
C3P SC pulley, phenolic spacers and Needwings CAI already ordered
