Or feel like a small junkyard has passed through your life, one or two cars at a time? Currently am only pretty sure I've never owned a Porsche before parking the wrecked 944 in our driveway. Am only pretty sure the only Porsche I've driven was a 914. BTW, here's my one line review of that car: Exactly what I always wanted out of an aircooled VW--except the dogleg.

I have a list.  I've only added to it 4 times this year.  Already removed two of those.

Nope, I keep records. It's a little surprising when you look back

I stopped keeping track, I was talking to my brother last night and he asked if I remember some car and I said man I've never had one of those.... he said yes you did, I just saw an old picture of it on your trailer. Well I guess I did.

I had trouble remembering them all ten years ago when I was dating my wife.   

It was well over 100 then.   I don't bother now.

I've owned and driven the following: VW Baja Bug. Plymouth Scamp, Arrow & Valiant. Ford Courier, Ranger, F100, F350 & E250.  Mazda Miata & Protege. Honda Accord & Civic. Datsun 1200, B210 & 510. Nissan 720. Volvo 142 & 144. Toyota MR2. Subaru Outback. Novakar F500. garage built D-Sports Racer. Beach Formula Vee.

Project/parts cars were few but: 3 Datsun 1200s, 1 Formula Vee and a Triumph Spitfire.

So I have no idea what you are talking about.

I keep a list and update it sometimes. But I started the list at about 35 cars and feel like I may have forgot one or two.

Sometimes I forget what I currently have. I believe 13 is the number now including motorcycles and parts cars.

I haven't had any trouble until lately, since I inherited my Dad's tendency to buy new and drive until the wheels fall off.  Once you start adding in toys like the RX-7, and a few of the wife's whims, well, then it starts to get harder.

I'm somewhere around 200 and bought three in the last three weeks, so yeah, I have a hard time remembering them all.

Fortunately, no...  While I've owned a lot of cars by "normal people" standards, I'm a lightweight in the GRM world.  I think I'm right at 21 that I can think of including some parts cars.

Guitars, on the other hand...  I'm forever seeing pictures of guitars and saying to myself, "damn... I vaguely remember owning one of those for awhile..."

I'm still at less than 20.  The hassle of changing cars has become too annoying for me so I will keep something a lot longer now.  My last car I kept ~8 years and ~90k miles.  Its fairly easy to keep track, but I do have a list.

I believe I'm somewhere between 60 and 70, so yes I do have trouble recalling them all.

My dad bought new cars and kept them long.  Some of these became my moms car or my sisters.   From 1955 to 2015 he only bought 14 cars - I shared his accomplishments at his 80th birthday party.  He loved the Oldsmobile's and Lincoln's.

I feel like a slacker now, I'm still under 10 lifetime cars I think. cheeky

Let's see:

1989 Ford Escort (barely counts)
1998 Ford Taurus (Grandma bought it for me though)
1996 Ford Thunderbird
2015 Ford Focus (lease, doesn't count?)
1991 Mercury Cougar
1998 Lincoln Town Car
2005 Ford Focus
1997 Ford Probe
1992 Ford Escort

Yeah, even with the ones that barely count, still only at 9. And my family still thinks I'm crazy, because I have 5 of those all at once now. laugh

I have a list of cars, but I think it's only about 5 or 6 more than you. 

I have a friend who's more than once reminded me of basses I used to own that I'd completely forgotten about.

My dad keeps a complete list of all vehicles and motorcycles he's owned. He also keeps a list of the vehicles my grandparents owned aswell.

I have a list with one photo of each car. Luckily I spotted car #2 of 50ish 10 years later and snapped a photo. If someone saw me take a picture of the 91 corolla they probably thought I was up to no good. Need to update it with my minivan. 

I don't have a list and I don't remember a lot of them. 

There are a few standouts that I wish I had never sold. 

78 Malibu Wagon, 81 Corolla Wagon, 74 Pinto, 78 C10, 70 Chevelle, 67 Impala, 87 Town Car. 

There were even a couple I wish I had never owned. 

83 Stanza, 85 635csi,
