Post What cars have you owned?

Was thinking about all the cars I have owned leading up to my 993 C4S.

Volvo DL- primered/lowered by me at 17
Porsche 924- dad's hand me down at 19
Corolla- reliable college commuter at 20
Mazda 626 GT- fun car, tons of torque steer at 21
Mazda RX7 Convertible- cool car but slow at 26
Toyota 4 runner- built like a tank at 28
Mazda Millenia S- great car at 29
Lincoln Navigator- room for the family at 35
Porsche 964 Cab- first feel for the 911 at 36
Porsche 993 C4S- THE BEST at 37
Honda Accord- daily driver/beater at 38

Quite a hodge podge of cars, for sure.

1987 Jeep Cherokee Limited - fun car with room and power!
1990 300ZX - lots of fun! It was nice to go to sports car, finally.
1993 RX-7 - faster and very tossable!
1995 993 Cabriolet - I still miss the top down atmosphere in Spring and Fall.
