Default What cars have you driven this year?

As the year comes inches closer to a close, I realize I drove quite a number of cars this year probably the most ever for me. Being car enthusiasts I was wondering what cars have you drove this year besides your daily drivers. My current daily drivers are Toyota RAV4, Nissan Pathfinder, and Mazda MPV.

This year I drove the Audi Q5, Chevrolet Eqiunox, VW Tiguan, Honda CR-V, Kia Soul, Dodge Caliber, Pontiac G6, Lexus IS 350, Suzuki Swift,and Nissan Murano.

I drove a S65 AMG when I went car shopping with my dad. That thing is crazy fast for its size. I switched cars with my friend, I drove his G37 and he got the Lex. A 09' ZR1, and my co-workers R35 GTR. My daily beater is a 06 BMW X5 4.8is, the Lexus just sits in the driveway

I assumed you meant appealing cars lol:
My GS300
09'S550
03'F350 6.0 powerstroke
11'Civic
92'Miata
69'Impala
turbo'd Neon
