I stuck to the ones that my company does business with, for the most part.

Besides, many so called imports are now made here in the US while many so called domestics are now being made outside of the US (Canada and Mexico with Mexico growing by leaps and bounds). My loyality to so called domestics, and my company for that matter, are starting to run out though! :Q

1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 (college graduation present from parents)
2000 Porsche Boxster (first car I bought on my own. paid cash)
2000 Dodge BT2500 cargo van
2002 Toyota Tundra SR5
2003 Toyota Sienna
2001 Honda S2000 (totaled after owning for less than 2 months by visiting brother-in-law)

All were bought new except for the S2000. I have never owned a sedan so the next car I buy will likely be a luxury sports sedan.

I've also had my license for 18 years, and I've only owned 4 cars.

1969 MG Midget
1986 Honda Civic
1996 Acura Integra GS-R
2001 Volvo XC70

Dang, that list is a tale of getting old 'n' boring.
Midget: I was young and wanted a cool convertible to drive around with chicks. Didn't care that I spent more time working on it than driving it.
Civic: I had no money and needed a reliable car to get to work.
Acura: I had a little bit of money and wanted a little more pep and AC.
Volvo: I'm old and have a kid. Thinkin' about safety and all the kid crap I gotta haul around.

Think I'm feeling a mid-life crisis coming on. Might be time for another little convertible...

- 1999 Toyota Corolla CE (130k miles)

I've owned it since it was new, can't justify getting rid of it while living in the city.

1989 Cadillac DeVille
1980 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
1978 Lincoln Town Car
1989 Ford Probe

2007 Mazdaspeed 3

My father liked to keep a stable of old beaters, so at any given time in my teenage years I had a choice of 2-3 cars to drive. The first 7 cars listed above came over the course of maybe 3 years when I started driving. I got the Alero in 2001 and kept it until late last year when I bought the MS3.
