Or are people listing ALL cars that they drove on a semi-regular basis?

I have so many because we happen to have that many here. None are actually titled to me, but nobody makes payments on any of them because they were all purchased outright, and the two drivers here (my father and I) have an agreement that we'll drive whateverthefsck we want, based upon whatever's left in the driveway when we leave. Many old cars to serve single purposes costs less to buy AND to maintain than one new car that has to serve all purposes. The only place you lose is parking (and the fashion contest).

I saw (and passed) 9 Porsche 911's today. I was driving a minivan. I did not feel insignificant. My vehicle is not an extension of my penis, even though I could most definitely use one.

My Cars:
88 Buick Century (hand-me-down from parents when I turned 16 ... great car, 250k+ miles when it died ... my then-girlfriend/now-fiancee rear-ended me and totalled it :eek:)
91 Acura Legend ("sport sedan", nicely tricked out car for a 17-year old (power windows, sunroof, 6-disc changer, etc)... got a great deal from a family friend that was a car salesman, bought it for $1000 less than KBB trade-in value :D)
02 Chevy Blazer ZR2 2-door (replacement for the Acura ... surprise college graduation gift from my parents)

I'm 23

Zuh? :confused: I've only been in two accidents, one when I was 16 (hit in driver's door at an intersection), one when I was 17 (rear-ended), neither of them my fault (other person's insurance paid everything in full) ...
