Civics for 12 years : a 1990 Si that I kept for 10 years, it was such fun, and a 2000 4 door EX that was a piece of crap (my wife loves it now).
Before that a 1984 Chevy Cavalier TBI (Canadian edition), that's when I decided NEVER to buy a GM in my life again...(argh) (rant)
Oh yeah, I forgot, also had a 1976 Buick Century, the thing was only 6 years old when I bought it andit was already on its way to the junkyard, kept it together 2 years before deciding never to buy used again...

Wow
Well I first started off with a 1987 Jeep Cherokee then wentonto a 1992 Toyota Paseo then I traded that in on a 1995 Ford Explorer which I can say was hooked up tight until I traded that in on a new 2000 at the time Ford Explorer again. Now I am driving the lovely 2002 Vivid Yellow P5 which I must say I love.

In chronological order:
Honda Civic Wagon 1989 (4 years)
Buick Century 1988 (2 years)
Mazda 626 1998 (2 years)
Toyota Echo 2001 (1 year)
I currently have two Mazda's... My P5 (of course) and a 2001 MPV. IMHO, Mazda is the best kept secret. Great cars at a great price = great value. I did alot of research before buying both the minivan and the wagon and found that you can't get a better car for the money. Honda & Toyota are completely OVERRATED. In a way I'm glad Mazda hasn't "infected" the masses. I drive my MP5 and I'm unique amongst the sea of Camry's, Accord's, and Altima's.

This is funny because I was just wondering this same thing last night and was going to post on it today. Well let's see for me here they are in order.
1981 VW Scirroco S (3 Years)
1988 Honda Accord LXI Hatchback (2 Years)
1993 Honda CBR 600 F2 (3 Years)
1984 BMW 325I (3 Years)
1988 BMW M3 (3 Years)
1993 VW Corrado SLC (2 Years)
1980 Jeep CJ-5 (1 Year)
1993 Ford F-150 Lightning (1.5 Years)
2002 Mazda Protege5 (1 month)
Most of my cars overlapped each other because I was always working on one of them. And I am proud to say that every single car that I have owned has been hooked up or modified by me in some way. I have had aftermarket wheels and exhaust on every one so far. My 2 all time favorites and I kick myself all of the time for selling them are the Vw Corrado and the M3. The owner of EVOSPORT bought my M3. It was before he started the company but he came all the way out from California and then drove it back. Kind of suck to sell a car and then a year or so later open up a magazine and see it with somebody else driving it. The car made it into European car as well as one of their newer M3's. I still can't beleive he turned my beatiful car into a fulltime racer. But I racked the miles up on it and sold it with 180K on it. Oh well it's time to get started on my P5.

From the time i was sixteen to today (23):
85 GMC suburban (supercharged 454, I ate mustangs for breakfast, hit by Geo Storm...poor Geo)(1995)
87 GMC full-size van (all my friends had sex in it for some reason) (1995-1996)
87 Crown Vic wagon (carried kegs and cases, t-boned while dad was driving it) (1996)
95 Saab 900 turbo (ah, the days of dope dealing, leather, turbo, CD, power everything, ass magnet, 3-year lease) (1996-1997)
91 Ford Taurus police package (eventually sandwiched between tahoe and old malibu, no more drugs so Saab is bye bye)(1997-1999)
92 Oldsmobile 88 Royale (american luxury, every option known to man, chevy 3800 motor that pulled like a beast, trunk button didnt work)(1999-2001)
89 Olds Custom Cruiser (A new version of the car in "That 70's Show, 5.0 L V8, yet geared all wrong, all options known to man, options eventually caught fire and burned a door panel, car was taken out and shot, literally) (2000-2001)
2002 Mazda Protege5 (livin the 9-5 life, with a car to show for it)(purchased Oct 2001, 92 Olds died on the way to the dealership, so I knew I was making the right decision)
I guess that's a lot of cars for 8 years of driving.
