I'm 27, but will be 28 next month. My past vehciels are as follows (oldest to current):


1966 Ford Galaxie
1962 Ford Galaxie
1992 Camaro RS
1990 Jeep Wrangler Sahara
1995 Ford F-150 300 I6
1994 Ford Mustang GT Convertible (July 2003-June 2010) *
1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande *
2006 Silverado 2500HD Duramax (First new vehicle after college) *
2007 Silverado 1500 Vortec MAX *
1996 Ford F-150 302 V8
1994 Ford F-150 300 I6
2001 Toyota Tacoma EX-Cab V6 *
2009 Ford F-250 FX4 Diesel

2011 4Runner SR5

The ones denoted with the * are the ones I miss the most. I couldn't afford the upkeep and fuel mileage of the '09 Ford, so that is how I ended up with my new 4Runner. I do fall more in love with the 4Runner daily though. My parents and my brother all have Toyotas also.
 
1989 Fiat-Premier Padmini (bet no one has heard of that car on this forum! )
1998 Daewoo Matiz
2001 Dodge Stratus
2008 Honda Accord (now my wife's car)
and now T4R 2011 Ltd
 
1995 Toyota Camry V6 LE
2005 Subaru Sti (still miss)
2011 Toyota 4R Ltd

I'm getting better mileage with the 4R than the Sti. I hope I'll have as much fun in the snow with the 4R in Chicago as the Sti in sunny Socal.

Traded an '07 FJ in for the T4R Trail... before that, I had a Mazda RX8 (god, I miss that car!), Ford Mustang convertible, Ford Explorer (piece of junk), and Ford Escort.
 
Won't include the ex-wife's vehicles even though I usually ended up driving them because they weren't MY choices to own them. In order of acquisition:

1971 Ford Capri
1981 VW Rabbit diesel
1985 Mazda RX7 GSL
1971 MGB
5th gen Mazda 323 hatchback (can't remember the year; don't even like that I remember that car)
1994 Nissan Hardbody pickup
1995 Nissan 200SX SE (bequeathed to son #1)
1999 Mazda Miata (currently in garage)
1988 Jeep Cherokee (currently in garage)
2001 4Runner SR5 (traded for 2010)
2001 Honda Civic EX (given to son #2)
2010 4Runner SR5
 
At 14, I bought an 81' VW Rabbit with 5 spokes rims.

Upgraded to a 94' Chevy S10 pickup.

Lost that and rolled like a G in an 81' V8 Chevy Caprice Classic.

Within a year, got a 1st gen Toyota Matrix.

Moved on up to a fully loaded FJ Cruiser.

Knowing I was going to have a kid with 3 years... traded the FJ in for a 07' 4 Runner, SR5 with a V8...

And am now on my fourth Toyota... a fully loaded 2011 4 Runner, Limited Edition.
 
I started with a 1988 Acura Legend
1997 Acura CL
1999 Honda Civic
2001 Lexus IS
2003 Lexus IS
2003 4R (in accident)
2004 4R
2007 Lexus GS (wife)
2010 4R (mag grey)
2010 4R (BP - long story - current)
2011 Lexus RX (wife current)

I'm 31
 
1. 87' Volvo 740 GLE
2. 99' Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x2
3. 05' Jeep Unlimited 4x4
4. 09' Toyota Tundra Dbl Cab 4x4
5. 10' Ram 1500 Crew Cab Sport 4x4
6. 11' Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4

My favorite before the 4runner was the Ram, but wanted something a little smaller, better on gas, and better re-sale.
