This'll take a minute
This'll be a long list, as I'm old. However, it is good food for thought....
I don't remember exact ages , so I broke it down to Teen's, 20's and 30's categories. I guess you can see how I progressed over time...
Teen's: (Started driving at 16 in 1991)
1984 Ford Escort, 3 door, 4 speed (died at 214,00 miles)
1986 Peugeot 505S, sedan, auto (died due to blown head gasket)
1986 Pontiac T1000, 5 door, 5 speed (traded in)
1995 Nissan 200SX, 2 door, 5 speed (sold so I could go to college)
Twenties:

1990 BMW 325i, 2 door, 5 speed (sold)
2004 Infiniti G35, sedan, 6 speed (leased)
2001 Infiniti QX4, 4x4, SUV, auto (traded in)
Thirties:
1995 Mercedes Benz e320, sedan, auto (still have, just crossed 100,000 miles)
2002 Range Rover, 4x4, SUV, auto (still have, just crossed 146,000 miles)
