My wife and I were talking last night, and after realizing how big of scumbags we were, I wanted to find out if we were really losers(this thread won't suggest we are not). We have had almost 40 different cars since I started driving. I wanted to have other people mention how many they have had, and what they were. I have listed some reasons why I got rid of them, or a little description.

Longest: 1988 Suzuki Samurai. Been in my posession for 6 years, my Dad wheeled it for 3 before that.
