My lame list -
1974-84 Mustang II (commonly known as a Pinto in Mustang clothing)
1984-89 Nada (lived in Manhattan - nuff said)
1989-94 Honda Accord (baby car seat stolen at Shea Stadium, windows smashed x 5 while parked in Manhattan - leading to my leaving NY for good)

1994-1998 Mercury Sable (yawn)
1994-1999 Ford Taurus Wagon (yawn yawn)
1999-2004 Toyota Camry (what can I say)
1998-now Mazda Millenia (peppy and sporty for a family sedan, but way overpiced - going to my son)
2004 Honda Element (like a pug - ugly but grows on you and a lot of fun to play with)
2005 Mini Copper (mid-life crisis - one of my many)

 

Starting in 1971, my string of cars commenced with:

1959 Nash Metropolitan (canabalized to support next car)
1959 Nash Metropolitan - had a MGA 1500 engine with dual SU carbs. (sold)
1958 Thames 1500cwt Freighter Van (sold)
1966 Ford Ranchero (sold)
1971 Toyota HiLux Pick-Up (Totalled in a wreck with 190,000 miles on it, bought back from insurance and parted out. I still have buckets of nuts and bolts from it.)
1975 Toyota Corolla SR-5 Coupe (Totalled in a wreck - in such good shape that the adjuster misinterpreted the 140,000 miles as 40,000 miles and paid out more than I bought the car for.)
1959 Volkswagen Type II Transporter, Shortened to a 4 Ft. wheelbase (traded for next car)
1937 BSA Mk. IV Scout Roadster (not a bike, 10-hp, 4-cylinder, flathead, front wheel drive, wet clutch, 3-speed, 2-seat sports car)(I sold this as "barn fresh" at a Christie's auction in Beverly Hills.)
1981 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper (ex-wife kept in divorce)
1983 Nissan King Cab P/U (I got in divorce, still have as a matter of principal, now has 248,000 miles on it - take that!)
2000 Honda S-2000 (still own, 40,000 miles) My 2nd wife's mid-life crisis on wheels.
2003 Mini Cooper S / JCW (13,000 miles) - My mid-life crisis on wheels.

Of the above, the 1959 VW remains my favorite. Able to turn around in about an 8 ft radius, pop wheelies when starting (and stopping), and easy to park. It is now rumored to be somewhere in New Mexico. If anyone sees it, give it my love.

PS. I should add that I got my taste for strange cars from my dad. At various times in my youth we owned a Messerschmidt, a BMW K700 (rear engined, 2-cylinder bike engine 2+2 seater), an Edsel Citation, a '51 Buick Roadmaster, a Willis Overland Wagon, and a string of more conventional Valiants, Darts, Hornets, Bel Airs, Belvederes, Accords, a Javelin, et. al. Of those, the most memorable was the Messershmidt, a post WWII enclosed scooter with a 200cc Fitchel & Sachs 2-stroke engine. 2-strokes run with equal efficiency clockwise or counter clockwise so to go to reverse you shut off the engine, changed the ground polarity on the starter motor, and started the engine in running in the opposite direction so that you had 4-speeds in reverse. I was too young to drive at the time but recall the ride had the comfort of a plank of wood on a washboard.

I used to auto-x the 99 Satty. Actually was a pretty good car for it.

Fun to watch them get pissed!

Obviously the MCS is the most fun car ever.
