Let's see.

1972 Chevy Impala - gramp's old car - ended up with a built motor
1978 Olds Cutlass - dad's old car - via gramps - it got me to work.
1974 BMW 2002 tii - my first BMW - the kugelfischer was replaced with 
webers (bad idea)
1971 Subaru Wagon - A junker - but it got me thru nasty winters.
1988 Pontiac Fiero - underpowered, but fun - traded in on the Mazda 
when I moved to Utah.
1992 Mazda Protege LX (with the fun twin cam engine)
1984 BMW 318i - traded in on the 325iS
1987 BMW 325iS - Arnold, aka Conan the Bavarian - traded in on the 95 M3
1992 BMW 325i - ex-wife's - traded in on the '94
1994 BMW 325i - last BMW my ex-wife owned at my expense (lol)
1995 BMW M3 - the original LNDSHRK - sold to a kid from California
1998 Lotus Esprit V8 - LNDSHRK "the sequel" - traded in on Lisa's 2001 M3
2000 BMW M Roadster - Yellow and black - a lease for Lisa, and how she realized
                      exactly how big of a "car nut" I am.

                      Wrecked by an idiot with a full-size van 
within 6 moths. :(
2001 BMW M Roadster - SUNSHRK - BMW Individual 1 of 1 in Sterling Grau
2001 BMW M3 - Lisa's car - it had problems from day 1 and she hated it.
              traded in on her Grand Cherokee - and was our last BMW 
until late 2006.
2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Lisa's) sold to her Mom - they still have/love it.
2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - my "Rubi" - 'from my cold dead hands'!
2002 Corvette Z06 - electric blue on black - sold to a friend
2003 Corvette Z06 - millenium yellow on black - sold to pay for house.
2005 Toyota Prius - Lisa's - traded in on the Highlander - more room 
for baby :)
2006 Corvette Z06 - made GM buy this flawed piece of shit back!
2007 BMW 335i - a lease for business R&D.
2000 BMW M Roadster - another one - bought it for Lisa as it exactly
                      matched the one I got her when we were engaged.
2009 BMW M3 Sedan - LNDSHRK #3 - my car - Sparking Graphite on black
2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid limited - due here a week from Monday.

Vehicle I love(d) the most?  My Jeep Wrangler - I was going to buy an 
F360 2 years
ago - but I would have had to trade in my Jeep - I couldn't do it.
