In these Covid days I thought a fun question would be how many cars have you owned in your lifetime. Obviously age plays a role. I am a member. My age is 74 and I can recall 43 cars I have owned.

LOL, I must be in the minority. I have only had something like a dozen cars. Except for a couple, I have been keeping them for at least 10 years. BTW, I will be 57 on my next birthday.
52 Years and 12 vehicles..most have had around 250K on them when I let them go, my 2012 Ford escape now has 302K and is still chugging right along.

Thanks Don, We will enjoy the minority together. Or as together as this COVID allows 
A car per year or so Fred and Don and you'll be right up there with me at least. Personally, I think Buff is counting his diecast collection as well.... 
I'm 44, I've had 16 vehicles (cars or trucks), 11 from brand new. I didn't count any recreational vehicles. We used do something similar many years ago, but we would add up the amount of spark plugs (glow plugs), horsepower and tires (no pedal bikes or the like), that we owned at that minute.
P.S. think I'm at 50 plugs, 2041hp, and 61 tires, not including winter tires, 1 set per unit.

I might have missed some but I think 22 at 70. One I did not count because it brings back horrible memories, thank you Chrysler. 
I had 1989, Fraud Mustang.... I hear you!I might have missed some but I think 22 at 70. One I did not count because it brings back horrible memories, thank you Chrysler.
I am 68 and have had 30 vehicles. When we got married we had a 70 Dodge Challenger, three girls later a station wagon many mini vans and full
size vans couple jeep grand cherokees a Jaguar Vanden Plas. Many pickup trucks (all Fords), sold my 74 vette to my son in law and now we have a BMW X5, Ford F150 and of course the 07 Vette. I can't believe how many vehicles we have had. Crazy!

Told you it was fun! Thatās what makes memories. Of my 43(no die cast) I did own 2 Vettes, a 1993 and a 2003 Z06. Miss the Z06 the most. Thanks for all your inputs. It was so interesting to see. I will have another Vette some day if the prices ever relax a bit.

62 and 15 vehicles (many kept 5+ years and one for 10 years); add 3 more if motorcycles count.
Wow, what a coincidence. I too will be 57 on my next B-day, and have owned a similar number of vehicles. Are we counting what our wives have?
If memory serves, here are mine: 1972 dodge duster (1st car. Piece of Sht), pontiac Ventura 2, 1979 Trans AM (another Piece of Sht), Suzuki Jeep type of thing (don't know the model), 1996 Chrysler Intrepid, 1997 GMC Sierra, 2008 Toyota Tundra, 2015 Stingray, 2 motorcycles (still have one). Wife: 1980's era Toyota Corolla, 2000 VW Jetta, 2010 Subaru Impreza.

Lets see, 67 Mustang Coupe (1st car rust bucket), Datsun 510 (full of Bondo), 68 Dodge Monaco (so big had to undo seat belt to reach across and unlock passenger door), 72 Plymouth Satellite (318 went like stink, sucked a ton of fuel), 83 Dodge Omni (did its job), 80 Dodge Diplomat (they are famous, just watch any old show or movie with cop cars) , 85 New Yorker (the digital voice entertained the kids but otherwise Not a good experience), 89 Pontiac 6000 ( the kids had started driving and it suffered some blows), 98 Sunfire GT (hah... at the time I thought it could handle),VW rabbit (for the kids, they all learned to drive a standard ) 98 F150 ( still miss it) , 2010 Lincoln MKZ (I learned that if you stupidly gap and slip through a red light... end of car), 2012 Accord (just does everything well), 91 Corvette (saved the best for last)
We tend to keep our vehicles a long time if they're reliable...so in 46 years (I'm 64) we've had 11 family vehicles (2 still current), and 6 sports cars (including 3x Vette's...C3, C5 and my current C7).
Good thread!
I'm 62 1/2 and not counting Cathys vehicles, motorcycles or ORV I had 14 cars and trucks. Three chevelles, one truck through the ice, two Corvettes (C6, C7) and my first sports car was a 1974 1/2 Datsun 260Z.
