There's a theme here
In chorological order, or loosely:
70 Fiat Spider--a teenager in heaven
74 Alfa Spider--a teenager in hell
77 Porsche 924--everyone hated me, but I loved the car
79 Porsche 924--never ran right
84 GTI--single best car I ever owned
76 Lancia Scorpion--a bigger piece of sh*t has never been wrapped in greater beauty
85 GTI--POS
82 Porsche 911--one of the greats
71 Porsche 911 (w/ 3.2 motronic)--so fast, I had to crash it at Pocono
84 BMW 325is--3rd best car I ever owned
70 Porsche 911 (w/ 3.2 motronic)--replaced crashed body of above--My baby
02 Swedish Spec MINI Cooper--second best car I ever owned
02 MINI Cooper S--I hope my 4 year old son drives this some day
80 MGB--long story, not worth telling
01 BMW M Coupe--nearly a supercar
99 BMW M3--For Sale!
07 MCS--I hate to admit it, but I loathe it
and finally...1994 Ford F250 Turbodiesel with nearly 300,000 miles.

Well, here I go, most recent first.
2005 Mini Cooper S (BRG/W)
1994 Jeep YJ Sahara (Gold)
1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport (Silver)
1989 BMW 325i (Zinnoberot - best car colour ever made)
1987 Honda Prelude Si (Black, had it two weeks)
Of course I've driven almost every production vehicle in existance in North America through my father, who is a top automotive journalist. I get the duty of having to help him wrangle vehicles, and also to help him evaluate things! Among those are...
Bentley Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur
Audi R8 (twice), RS4, RS6, S6, S8, S4, etc etc
BMW M5, M Coupe, M Roadster, 335i, 650i/Ci, etc.
Mini Cooper, Cooper S convertable
Mercedes S55, E55, E55 wagon, SL65, SL55, G55 etc
Lamborghini Gallardo (Essentially an Audi...)
Porsche Cayenne Turbo/S, Cayman S, Carrera 4S, Turbo w/extra horsepower package (a $20,000 option)
The most eye catching of all was in 2003 when we had a Smart Fortwo... nobody in Canada had ever seen one, people were amazed by it. Second to that was the new Beetle in 1998 or whenever that came out... there were people who just stared, amazed... someone got in to an accident because they were looking at the car. Another guy stepped off the curb and fell over, and kept looking as we drove away.
