Not many considering how old I am. These are the cars that were in my name that I drove, not counting DH's cars: 82 Chevy Celebrity 84 Chevy Celebrity 95 Chevy Cavalier 01 Mitsubishi Eclipse 05 Chrysler 300 18 Chrysler 300S I guess I must be brand loyal. I didn't really intend to get another 300 but it test drove so nicely after the other cars, it sold itself. Makes my commute so much more pleasant. The Eclipse I kept until my DD started driving, then gave it to her in 2010. So from 2007 when I got the first 300 until 2010, I had two cars and just drove whatever one I felt like driving. It is still alive, owned by her ex-BF who is a mechanic. I loved that little car! But I also loved the (comparative) luxury of that 300. DH has mostly had SUVs. I don't think my mom will ever buy anything else again.. She is on her 3rd 300!! All of them fully loaded to the max. She LOVES her 300s!! I have to admit every time I can get the chance I love to drive it!! (As long as stepdad doesn't know.. he is WEIRD about anyone else driving it.. but mom is 80 this year and I feel MUCH safer when I am driving it.. so we don't say anything.. lol and it IS her car, not his.. but we don't rile him up)

I've been driving for 'gulp' almost 39 years! Eeek! I hadn't thought of it like that. I'm on my 5th vehicle counting the car I drove in high school and college that technically belonged to my mother.

I have been driving for 23 years and have owned 2 cars. For the first 12 of those years I commuted by train so I didn't need a car. I just relied on my DH's car on the weekend for grocery shopping and errands.
My first car was I think a 1993 Nissan Altima. After a few years it started leaving me stranded everywhere. I replaced it with a brand new 2005 Ford Freestar. I still own it. I has less than 80,000 miles on it.

Starting with cars I've owned and bought myself or together with my husband. In the 42 years I've been driving I've only had 3 cars. All of them were Hondas. 1. First one was an older used Honda (can't remember the model) but it was something I could afford on my salary right out of college. 2. Second one was a brand new Honda Civic sedan bought with first DH. Bought this car in 1985 and drove it until 1999 when I traded it in for my next car. 3. Last car was a 1999 Honda Civic LX that I've been driving for the last 20 years! It's only got 120,000 miles on it, handles like a dream with it's 5 speed manual transmission (which I adore) and I love it to pieces . I don't want a new car. Hondas last forever. I plan to drive this car as long as I can.
