Which vehicles have you owned?
I have listed some of the most commonly discussed and compared cars on this site.
Please feel free to list other cars that you have owned and enjoyed. Photos of some of your more unique vehicles would also be appreciated. For the sake of comparison, in a previous poll 73% said that they have owned/operated a motorcycle. 34% responded that they have owned a minivan.

1989 Gold Mercury Topaz (granny special: 4500 miles, $4500!)
1991 White Pontiac Sunbird 1999 Black Dodge Dakota 4x2 regular cab 2000 VW Beetle 1.8T (wife's) 2001 Black Mustang GT 2001 Black Dodge Dakota 4x4 quad cab 5spd 2004 Grey VW Golf GTi 1.8T 2005 Grey Mecedes-Benz C230 (wife's) 2006 Chrome Orange Lotus Exige 2006 Candy White VW GTi Mk5 I've enjoyed them all for their own reasons except for the Topaz, but that's was only because my parents picked it out for me as a safe first car. They were right, of course. My favorites, in no particular order, are the two GTi's, the Mustang, the Exige (of course!) and the 4x4 Dakota. The C230 is surprisingly fun out in the hills as well.

I bet that there were alot of BMW M3's as well...
These were the 'fun' ones. Family cars, Trucks and parts cars don't count. Unfortunately (or fortunately in the Fiero case) only the Miata's and the Elise are still around... 1967 Ford Mustang 1984 Pontiac Fiero 1967 Triumph Spitfire 1986 Porsche 944 1995 Eagle Talon AWD 1999 Chevrolet Corvette 1997 Mazda Miata 2002 BMW M3 1994 Mazda Miata (SM) 2005 Lotus Elise

There was a limit of 20 responses for the poll. I tried to choose very carefully, however, many cars that we might have in common will inevitably have been left off. You all have already mentioned a number of cars that I had on my long list, but didn't make the cut.

I clicked Miata (which I still own) and forgot to click Exige (which I now own too).
