Not sure I can even remember all the cars I've owned, but my first car ( in 1949) was a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe, and the second was a 1940 Linclon Zephyr Club Coupe. Both had the V-12 engines, which I ended up replacing with flat-head Ford engines when the V-12s crapped out.
Then I got a 1941 Caddy sedan. in 1951...a great car !, and I never went back to Lincolns !
Later, I had a lot of Caddys, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Chevys, and one '54 New Yorker, which had the 331 hemi engine. The engine was the best part of that POS car.
I built up a '40 Ford pickup, with a 331 Caddy engine, and at the time I did a '40 Ford cope with a 326 Olds engine, and a LaSalle transmission, in 1960..
I would bet that a lot of folks wish they had some their previous cars today !

My first vehicle. The one that started it all! 89 XJ Laredo gifted to me by my dad when it was stock. Had a terrible blue paint job, so my dad custom painted it for me. After that me and him started lifting it, most of the lift parts came from a junkyard. Tires were for a YJ so I had to buy adapters. I crashed it into a tree one winter and did all the body work to fix it (junkyard parts/repaint, fiberglass on the front header panel.) This is how it sat a few days before I sold it for $2500. I miss that old POS.
Second vehicle, also gifted to me by my dad (he bought a different vehicle for work.) 96 ZJ, Up country suspension, 5.2 V8. Awesome Jeep. Gave it back to my dad after about 6 months when I purchased my first Jeep.
So then the first vehicle I actually *purchased* myself, I'll post a pic at the end to show how it's sitting now. 99XJ sport, rusted out Michigan vehicle 260k miles.
I moved to Canada for a year and put the previous one in storage. So here's my Canadian 89 XJ, base model 4x4 manual everything, dummy gauges, leaking oil.
6 months after I got back from Canada I moved to North Dakota which I drove my lifted XJ out to. 22 hours, 1100 miles! my 99 in its current state:
So in ND I bought a 2001 Ram 1500, done a lot of work to it, it sucks.
About 8 months later I bought a '14 Ram 1500, I was sick of having to work on my vehicles all the time. 155 miles on it so far and no regrets!

'X' denotes vehicles I still own. Trying to sell the Camaro cause I hate it, and I'm tired of paying insurance
I think I'm off to a decent start for a 24 year old who didn't drive a car til I was 19 The lady will be trading in her '13 Dodge Journey soon for a '15 Wrangler to DD, and she also wants an XJ as an introduction to the hobby

I'll only list two..
99 cherokee sport
2012 gtr black edition sold for a new z06 I ordered last week :-)
Hope it rocks the gtr hands down is the best car I've ever driven and I've driven almost everything besides a bugatti and the super high end ferraris like Enzo and f40/50 it simply destroys everything. I drag raced it tracked it and drove it to all events. I did 32 passes at the 1/2 mile shootout last year all over 160 mph no failures and drove it home.
