Not very long or too awfully distinguished.
First: 1973 Dodge d100 pick-up- propane powered could go 6 months without a fillup. (100 gallon tank helped) 15 years old when I got her
1981 VW rabbit... biggest POS I have ever owned. Car would die when it rained, the fix.... get out open the hood and slam it. 17 years old
1983 Dodge Ramcharger 4x4- loved it 17 years old
1988 Chevy Celebrity 19 years old
1991 Ford Tempo 19 years old
1991 Toyota 4-runner sr6 20 years old
1988 ford bronco II 22 years old
1973 Datsun 240Z- my pride and joy, no power steering 3 webbers, isky cam ahhhh the cackle 24 years old 27 when I sold her
1988 BMW 325e- cirrusblau hey it was free, no rust and ran... sort of 27 years old
1997 Ford Mustang v6- technically the wifes, headers, dual exhaust, procharger, supersix heads and cam.. was badass until she got t-boned it flipped and she was wounded 24 years old 28 when she died
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse- Drove her until she dropped in the driveway, didn't help that my mom put almost 170k on it before I bought it from her. 27 years old and 30 when she died.
2001 Dodge Ram 1500 360 cu. this beast replaced the wifes mustang. Took a shot in the front last year 500 in damage to her and 6 thousand to the ******* who ran the light. Wife now feels safe.
2004 MCS- my new favorite baby, I hope to keep her longer than I did my other cars. I was young and inexperienced and I didn't know any better. Mojo was my 30th birthday present ( when the eclipse died I had no real choice)

Wow - it's great seeing all the different cars you fellow MINI owners have had. With modern cars it's so hard to do much of your own work that most modern "car freaks" don't know much about how things work under the hood. I'm glad to see there's a good representation of MINI owners that have had "labor of love" cars through the years and appreciate how easy we have it now.

My list in order:

High School
1974 Chevy Nova 350 (SS clone) - got me in trouble, so replaced by:
1976 Fiat X 1/9 - finally unrepairable so replaced by:
1976 Vega hatchback - rear end died so replaced by:
1967 Ford Falcon - sold when I went to college

"Paused from college"
- 1984 Ford EXP - bought when I "paused" college, sold when I returned
- 1966 Triumph Spitfire - project while "paused" from college, sold when I returned
- 1976 Volvo 264 (yes, 264) - kept when I returned to college, sold when graduated

Graduated from college & got married
1986 Isuzu Impulse Turbo - replaced with:
1988 Isuzu Trooper (sold when bought Chevy Van)
- 1977 Fiat X 1/9 Project - fixed up and sold
- 1967 Mercedes 280SE - fixed up and sold
- 1987 Dodge Ram 50 - Cut off top to make convertible & sold
1996 Mustang 5.0 Convertible
1994 Chevy 2500 van
1996 Taurus SHO
1988 Silverado 4X4 (lifted)
Sold everything but the Taurus when moved to NYC
Sold Taurus when moved to Germany

Germany:
2001 BMW 330 ci (convertible) returned at end of lease for Mercedes E 260
1999 Alfa Romeo Spyder Twin Spark - fun but unreliable, sold to buy:
1999 Mercedes AMG 230K SLK
2001 Mercedes E260 (lease bridge until the E320)
2004 Mercedes E320
Returned / Sold E320 & SLK when left Germany

Recent history:
2004 VW GTI VR6 - still have
2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo - sold
1996 Dodge 2500 pickup (The "BFT") - sold
2003 Corvette - sold
2004 GMC Envoy XUV - still have
2004 MINI JCW - still have
2006 Nissan 350Z Convertible (blue-auto) - still have
2006 Nissan 350Z Convertible (red-stick) - still have

Yes, 2 350Z's, his and hers - my wife is learning to drive stick on the red one - I swapped out the Corvette for the 350Z because it's much easier for me to change out the clutch once she gets the hang of it!

The MINI and the Envoy are our winter cars, with the Envoy also servicing duty as the "family car" when we have more than 2 people and the "haul stuff back from Home Depot" vehicle. The MINI may get some track time this summer too. We can't really track the 350Z's because they're convertibles.
