My next "dream car" would be a GT3 RS.... Mmmmmmmm.

In the great rainy northern state you only pay taxes on the diffrence in cost between the trade in and the new car... makes churning through them a lot more doable. ;)

Okay - you beat me on the total count... so now I'm changing the rules.

With the possible exception of Jason Uyeda, I think I can sew up the "highest percentage still owned" award. I have Tom by a mile on that.

Jason? Do you still own own more than 2/3rds of 'em?

Annie Bauer · Post by **Annie Bauer** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 4:09 pm

Yes, believe it or not, I used to be into lowrider mini trucks with hydraulics - I actually won hopping competitions! :gpower:

Everyone just shakes their head in disbelief. Young(ish), Female, accountant/auditor, truck hopper? Yeah... and I listen to rap.

And Jason, I can't tell the story of Marcus' name on here, I'd be banned from the forums!

I don't think any car not actually titled and licensed to you should count. Anything on a dealer tag, no tag, or sold before you got the plates (also applies to Annie and Uyeda) should be removed from your list.

No dealer cars on that list. that list would be way to long
Maybe 10 of the 120 did not get registered to me, but I drove em for a while.

I'm currently at 100% for the cars that I've actually bought and owned myself (I guess that would be "still own"):

2004 Subaru WRX
2004 Toyota 4Runner

The cars I drove during high school and college were titled to my parents but were available for me to drive exclusively since they had other cars as their daily drivers:

1988 Mitsubishi Galant Sigma
1992 Honda Accord EX

Jason? Do you still own own more than 2/3rds of 'em?

Got you both beat

Owned:
1991 Geo Prizm GSi Named: Noname (I refused to name it, so my eldest eventually called it that) New to 186k sold in 2001
2002 VW Jetta GLX wagon Named: Franklin (by my kids) New to current 105k miles
1995 Mazda Miata Named: Serious Black (again by my kids) Used Nov '08 - Current 2.5k so far

Conspiciously Missing:
1991 Acura Integra Name: Zelda New to current 205k BUT... my wife bought months before we got married and my name has NEVER been on the title.

I still own either 66% or 75% of the cars (inc. Integra or not) not loaned. More interesting 66% of my daily drivers: wagons.
Looking at the list might also be able to claim: % new (owned)
