Well, let's see if I can remember them all:

1949 Chrysler Windsor (towed home) $50
1967 Chevelle Malibu
1978 Chevrolet Monza (new)
1981 Chevrolet Camaro (new)
1983 Chevrolet Camaro (new)
1978 Corvette
1985 Corvette
1987 Chevrolet Astro
1986 Ford Escort
1988 Mitsubishi Starion
1985 Buick Century
1998 Chevrolet Venture
198(something) Ford LTD
1996 Ford Taurus
2004 Chevrolet Malibu (new)

I've probably missed a couple here and there. Most of these were just cars to get by with; because the car I was driving died, got wrecked or became too expensive to repair. I got new cars when I was on active duty, then switched to used cars after getting married and raising kids. The 04 Malibu was bought new, and after being divorced for several years, I decided it was time to get a Z. It made sense, the Malibu had 150k, had already had a transmission replaced at 100k (damn detroit junk), had been hit and repaired twice (once on each end) and was going to cost $800 in parts to fix the exhaust and fuel system. 9 year old car, 2 wrecks, $1500 value and $800 to fix simple stuff. It had to go.
