1980 Pontiac Firebird (bought new but girlfriend wrapped it around a tree)
1987 Mazda RX-3'(loved that fast rotary engine)9
1989 Nissan 200SX Hatchback (bought new and drove it to 215K miles)
1997 Ford Explorer XLT (bought new step daughter wrapped it around a tree- lucky to be alive)
2004 350Z Roadster Enthusiast 5A (bought used and still own 44K miles but selling her)
2014 370Z Coupe Black Cherry 6M (bought with 6 miles on it and love it)

The Z's are weekend cars only as I have a personal company vehicle for every day use.

what's with the women in my life and penchant for bashing trees?

Well judging by the age of your vehicles, I don't think you have a pension YET.

But you might have a penchant for picking women who can't drive :-p

1968 Mustang GT
1987 Mustang GT
2002 Mustang GT

If you can believe it, those were the only three cars I owned over a 28-year period. I went out to buy a '15 GT and came home with a '09 Z. I love it and haven't really looked back. Every once in a while, I'll hear a Mustang, and miss the noise it made, but, overall, I couldn't be happier with my new car. I got a good price and, honestly, I feel like I get a lot more overall value than if I had bought another Mustang. I'm hooked!

I've got an 01 GT convertible in the garage and it's a stark contrast from the Z. I've been up to look at the new Mustangs about 4 times now...still not sure I like them.
