Cool thread revival. My list:
1979 Toyota pickup. Yellow. AKA "The Banana". 1987 Subaru DL. During college and my twenties. 1997 BMW Z3. Win! 1997 Toyota RAV4. 2001 Nissan Maxima. Current car, 137,000 miles.
What's more fun to speculate is my next car. In the next year or two I hope to get another convertible, but with the family, sounds like a four-seater will be the only way to satisfy the WAF, so no roadster redo. Probably an Infiniti G37 or BMW 3-series, then.

Don't ask how, but I found a picture of your RX-8, Chris. Nice headlights, curves and back end!
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Some of the progressions here are funny. JP had a midlife crisis, which his wife cut short and shoehorned him into a Rav? Adrian Mach1 to Super Beatle? I mean, if it was a new Beatle at least you could say you were trying to impress some girl, but a mid '70s Super Beatle? Bonus points for the '69 fastback though.

I call bullsh#$ on your backend statement. You're extrapolating.

That's a lot of cars. In the last 25 years I have had:
1. 87 K-car 2. 98 corolla 3. 96 escort 4. 2010\11 Matrix
As a student I also briefly owned a '76 Mercury Marquis "That there is no car son, that is a living room on wheels."
I'd still be driving the Corolla were it not for a divorce.
I'd rather drive a cheap car and spend my $ on travel.

Geez, I hope you guys with the long lists aren't doing this from memory. I'll split this up into several posts, because I like pictures (although these are not MY actual cars). 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix - 389 V8. Horrible gas mileage. Amazing interior. Vacuum Manifold Gauge. You could easily land a helicopter on the trunk. It really was this color. 1978 Chevrolet Malibu - hand-me-down from my Dad. Certainly the worst car I've ever owned and possibly one of the worst ever made. The only car I've ever driven that I liked less was a PT Cruiser. Mine was red. Yes, it had a vinyl top. Just horrible. I only drove it for a short time. 1981 Dodge Challenger - Actually, a Mitsubishi product with a torquey 2.6L 4 cylinder and 5-speed manual. An absolute blast to drive, which I did for about 13 years and 200k miles. Mine was blue over black. 1984 Toyota Corolla - at least it had a manual transmission. Good gas mileage. Like most/all cars, drove it until it was worthless. Shortly thereafter, I got a family and a real job...
