How many vehicles have you owned?

[rms37]

My tally stands at having owned 34 automobiles so far during my lifetime. I am also at a halfway point whereas I still own 17 of those vehicles and have sold on the other 17. My favorite is my third purchase followed by my first two, and all three of those are not going anywhere literally and figuratively...

[RatMan]

Geeez , I can't even keep track of how many I have now I've owned hundreds

[outskirtscustoms]

In my honest opinion any time you buy a car new or through a buy here cry here place you get a bad deal. Most of my cars that I got used run better and I didn't have to pay out the nose for them. Also there is something about driving a cheap $300 car, you don't have to worry about scratching it when loading your bike, you don't have to worry about people stealing it...somedays you pray they would, if it dies on the road you leave it there, and if you crash it just have a good insurance policy and get something better.

My VW beetle was totaled 7 times and paid for 3 of my other vehicles. First time was the day I got it, called in and put full coverage on it just in case since I was driving it home from Ohio with a buddy following me. I get a block from home and a guy runs a stop sign and barely taps the passenger door knocking a piece of trim off. Body shop quoted an outrageous price because of some rust and insurance totaled it and sent me a check for $1200! $75 went to the tow yard to get the car back and I never did fix it.

[joesole]

Only one, a Mitsubishi, it was very reliable did over 200k miles. And a 2 stroke bike, which required cylinder rebuilds every few thousand miles
