I have owned three, but only paid for the IS since the rest were hand me downs . Out of these three cars the IS350 is the only one that I still have.
1) 01 RX300
2) 02 E320
3) 07 IS350

My current cars are the GS430 and the E63, but here's my trip down memory lane:

'89 GMC Jimmy (Full Size) - high school car, dad's old ride.

'93 Ford Bronco - ah, my college car, the OJ mobile...great memories of this car.

'98 Ford Expedition - What a lemon...reason why I stopped buying American cars

'99 Lexus GS300 - my first Lexus. Knew I had to get a GS after seeing the "something wicked this way comes" commerical.

'06 Lexus GS430 - it's been nice, but in all honesty, I never experienced a "wow" factor with it. Is now my wife's daily driver after I got my E63.

'07 Cadillac Escalade - only had a couple months before it became my dads (after his Yukon Denali died). Still love the design and is still one of my favorite SUVs.

'08 Mercedes E63 - my new love I actually look forward to driving this car at every possible moment. Hurry up Lexus and release the GS-F already!!!

79 Ford Mustang - the only one that was purchased pre-owned for me by my Dad when I was in college. Lots of fun memories.
88 Ford Mustang - my first new car after college. I got raped on the interest rate
90 Ford T-Bird - I really liked the looks of this car.
95 Dodge Intrepid - I lost a lot of money in the 18 months that I owned her. It was back in the shop for repairs before I paid the first note.
96 Oldsmobile Aurora - At the time it was the nicest and most expensive car that I had owned. The first generation Aurora had a style that was timeless and still looks good today.
99 Lexus GS300 - The love affair begins
07 Lexus GS350 - and it continues
