In order of ownership
1979 Ford Fiesta (used) - It was fun while it lasted. Best $500 I ever spent.
1982 Plymouth Champ with "Twin Stick" (used) - my least favorite car
1988 Ford Festiva (new) - Had it for 119k miles, sold it to coworker who put another 134k and no repairs between us. Great car (quit snickering)
1995 Plymouth Neon Sport (new) - liked it until it started falling apart after two years
1988 Mercury Tracer for my mom (used) - Mazda 323 based - liked it a lot
1997 Acura Integra (used) - Another great car
1997 Toyota Corolla for my mom (new) - Transportation, was disliked by the whole family more & more as the years went by
1999 Mazda Miata (used) - Great, still have and enjoy
2003 Mini Cooper (new) - Best handling car after the Miata
2005 Acura TL (new) - Nice cruiser, still have
2004 Mazda 6 Wagon (used) - Was looking for something practical after the Mini, nice but didn't quite fit, sold to my sister after a year who is quite happy with it.
2011 Fiesta SE hatch (new) - love, averaging 2K a month of non-commuting driving.

2003 toyota matrix xrs 6spd- (bought used in 2007) great car, pretty quick for a 4cyl. had it for 80K kms
1988 dodge ram auto - loved the truck, was planning on slowly restoring it but couldnt afford insurance, circumstances sucked that year :/ sold it to my brother for now and one day ill buy it back if its still going.
2011 ford fiesta sedan w/powershift - though its a bit slower than the matrix, super nimble and way more comfortable 6K km's so far since nov 25th, and as much as i loved driving stick the stop and go traffic in the city was killing my legs, and my fiance can actually drive this one which is nice for road trips

Talking My Precious

1997 Ford Escort - I got the car in 2003 and it had 72K miles on it with only one previous owner. It's a base model; no A/C, no power anything, manual transmission, but it did have a tapedeck! I replaced it with a CD player. (: I love my Teaspoon (silver little car!) but at 174K miles it's time to move on to greener pastures!

2011 Ford Fiesta (SES) - My current ride, purchased new. In love with her!

in chronological order...

98 Contour SVT- black with midnight blue leather. i put TOO much money into that thing
95 Saturn SL2- Winter beater. blew it up 4 times before junking it
95 Mustang- V6 auto- replaced the saturn for a winter beater. gotta say, it was by far the best car i've owned to drive in the snow.
98.5 Contour SVT- my track whore. built 3L engine, every suspension upgrade available, huge brakes... ended up destroying the timing chain tensioner on the highway while showing an integra owner what real americans drive.
11 Fiesta- Finally a reliable DD!

1991 Toyota Camry (used) - practicalish first car. Stolen twice.

1998 Neon Sport (used) - Fun car, cheap to fix. Got me into auto-x and auto repair. Trans took a dump.

2003 Focus ZX3 w/ 2.3L (new) - a load of fun. Met a untimely demise after being t-boned by a Corolla into a curb.

1967 Mustang - project car minus a drivetrain. Stolen.

2003 Ford Ranger Edge (used) - liked everything about it but the 3.0L. No power and crap gas mileage. Traded in as the trans and rear end started having issues.

2007 Toyota Tacoma (new) - best little truck but no weight in the back and tiny little tires. Hydroplaned going 55 in the freeway and it was done.

2011 Fiesta - barely a week old and already have 600 miles on it. I absolutely love this car.
