And for those of you who want the intimate details,

A Renault 19 and an Audi 80.

4 and counting

1986 (?) Ford Tempo
1984 (?) Ford Tempo (I know it was older than my first car, and I know they were both older than me)
1996 Dodge Spirit
1997 Mitsubishi mirage

Thanks especially to the spirit and the mirage I now know enough about what can go wrong with a car to accurately diagnose why my car isn't working right.  This is a skill I get to use all-too-often.  My cars pwn me, too.  My mirage almost prolapsed this summer.  That was fun.  When I got rid of the dodge, it was sold to a mechanic.  Last I heard, he coudln't make it run.

To be fair, my current car has issues in part because Midas raped it a couple years back.  Cross-threaded a spark plug; poor car only had 4 to start with, and now it effectively has 3 1/2.  Under the best of conditions it woudln't be very peppy.  As it is now, when I floor it, it sounds like a small plane trying to take off, but accelerates like a fat kid riding a tricycle uphill.

As soon as I feel like I have the funds and it's a practical investment, I'm planning to update to a grown-up car- i.e. one that's less than a fucking decade old and breaks down less than once a month.  This is 2010, I'm done with school, and I should be done with high school/college student cars (i.e. shitboxes).  

Christ, am I the only idiot who has owned 15 cars (sometimes two or three at a time)?

Give me time and I'll catch up.   I'm young yet, and have shit luck.  

1984 Ford Tempo (had this car forever)

So you know the pain?  

37.

Not counting the limo in the garage.

IN A ROW???

When I had the '84 Tempo, it was 1992 so I didn't have any problems with it.

94 Taraus wagon (hand me down from parents)

Lucky you.  When I had mine I think it was 2003.

NONE! 

As I have mentioned before, I take buses, cabs, and occasionally ride in friends' or relatives' cars. They like to have me along for ballast.

I have 2 friends like that also.

I have had 4 cars technically, which isn't bad for 20 years of driving. All have been gems, but probably because our family is car oriented, so not much room for a bad choice.

The first 2 were when I was married, so technically they were half owned by my husband.

My 3rd I saved for and bought all by myself....that little baby never let me down and I've never had the heart to sell her, even though I've upgraded since to my 4th car which is the one in my avatar.....except that's the V8 supercar RACING version

I feel I need to upgrade.

Too bad Sweden has cowardly speed limits. You can't even legally drive an old Volvo as fast as it can go.

My newest car is the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP I was peer pressured into buying and despite all its problems I am starting to like it for its performance.

Is that the car that is in your avatar?

All the Grand Prix's I ever drove handled well.
