I suspect somewhere in the late 80s or early 90s you had a kid.
 
Dodge Caravan Minivan (hand me down, 1st car)
VooDoo bicycle - 19,000 before it got stolen
Mazda3 - 10k miles
New road bicycle - 3k miles (daily commuter)

What does it say about me? Nothing. People read too much into cars as statements of something.

This transition does not support your claim! :Q

Going from the 4G63T to the modified Neon engine is just... meh.

That was the daily driver, the Tsi AWD wasn't a good DD (ACT2600 clutch, 17psi, fmic etc). My brother's late eclipse was even worse: same clutch, built block, big 16G, apexi N1, GM MAF with forge moto bov and apexi ignition contol... 450hp

1985 Dodge Caravan (1997-1998)

The Saturn has treated me well, but it is indeed feeling a bit old and, well, cheap at this point, so I am likely buying a Mazdaspeed3 in the relatively near future.

1971 Pontiac Trans-Am
1978 Ford Pickup
1974 Chevy Nova
1985 Ford Bronco II
1987 Olds Cutlass

1987 GMC Pickup
1989 Pontiac Grand-Am
1988 Cadillac DeVille
1994 Geo Tracker
1988 Chevy Pickup

Current Vehicles:

DSMs are horrible DD's even without mods 😉.
 
1988 Honda Accord LX-i (1998-2002, was my mother's car from 1990-1997)
1982 Honda CB450SC Motorcycle (1999, currently owned but in storage in Ohio)
1976 Porsche 914 2.0 (2002-2004, re-bought in 2005 and currently owned)

2006 Ford Mustang GT (2006-2007, sold because I got tired of not having a useful back seat)
1998 Volvo S70 T5 SE (2007, currently owned)

Vehicles from the age of 16 to 24 (well, 25 in 20 days). 9 different vehicles. Bought or been given a vehicle 10 times since one of the vehicles was bought, sold, and bought back.

It tells me that I don't really like newer cars and that I like to try out a lot of different cars.

Oldsmobile (forgot the year)
Ford Escort (86? POS that turn me off to Domestic)
Honda Accord (93 - Pretty much trouble free. Sold for $2000 2 years ago)
Toyota Camry (98 - current car)

All my cars were second hand, i.e. I got them used. Never know the feeling of new car. Actually that's not true. When we sold the Honda, we brough a new CR-V. I did "own" that car for 1 week before my wife take over and I got to "own" her car which is my current car, the camry.

[edited]
Got the timeline backward. We brought a new CR-V and the dealer tried to give us $100 for the Honda as a trade in. :| The same Honda where we sold later for $2000. 🙂
