Let's see...

Started driving in late 1984:
1977 Corolla 2-door
1980 Toyota Corona (first purchased car 11/87, totalled 11 months later by a drunk driver 10/88)
1986 Nissan PU (1/1989 thru 3/1991, traded for...)
1991 Nissan Sentra 2-door (3/1991 thru 6/1994, traded for...)
1994 Honda Civic LX (My husband's first new car. sold in 2/2003)
1983 Toyota Camry (needed a beater once in Virginia, 2/1995. sold in 1998)
1998 Nissan Frontier (7/1998 thru 2/2000, traded for...)
1996 Honda Accord (our first automatic! Horrors! 2/2000 thru 5/2002, traded for...)
2002 VW Passat GLS (5/2002 thru 7/2006, traded for...)
2006 Mustang GT (7/1/2006)
1990 Toyota king cab 4X4 (8/2001 to present. Ugly as hell, no AC, but you can't kill a Toyota)
2004 NB GL, Cosmo (8/3/2004 - present. He's for sale. He's my first Beetle love and was almost traded for a 2005 NBC. I didn't like the NBC in terms of handling, noise, and comfort)

Last but not least is my Hermione! 2003 NB Turbo S in Reflex Silver. I've had her for almost 2 weeks and I'm over the moon!
