Well, here goes. My very first car was a 1960 Hillman Minx. What a piece of crap. That was followed, very shortly, thank goodness by a 1962 Ford Galaxie convertible with a 390 V8.
Then:
68 Chevy Impala
67 Thunderbird Landau Sedan
67 Pontiac GTO convertible
71 Buick Lesabre 455
73 Pontiac Grand Prix
75 Olds 88 convertible
77 Buick LeSabre
78 Pontiac Grand Prix
79 Chevy Corvette L82
81 Buick Park Avenue
81 Datsun 280ZX
85 Cadillac Sedan de Ville, the biggest piece of junk I ever owned and hopefully the last GM product I will ever own.
87 Toyota Supra
89 Mercury Sable
89 Lincoln Mark VII LSC
93 Lincoln Mark VIII
96 Jeep grand Cherokee
98 Toyota Avalon

Current cars:
2000 Toyota Avalon (my wife's)

I am one of the young ones on the board.

93 Ford Ranger Splash
95 Ford Escort
99 Mercury Cougar

Current
01 Mercury Sable (daily driver)
02 Tbird (summer toy)
 
Here's my list. Note the shift back to the blue oval for new cars after '89.

1955 Chevy 4 door (used)
1965 Dodge 4 door (used)
197? Ford Cortina 2 door (used)
1962 Ford Falcon 4 door (used)
1965 Mustang 6 cylinder Coupe (used)
1970 Opel Station Wagon (used)
1976 Buick Century (1st new car)
1978 Olds Cutlass Supreme (new)
1980 Diesel Rabbit (new)
1984 Dodge Caravan (new)
1985 Buick Park Avenue (new)
1968 Olds Cutlass Convertible (classic)
1985 Pontiac Grand Am 2 door (new)
1986 Chevy S-10 Pickup Extended Cab (new)
1966 Ford Mustang V8 Coupe (classic)
1989 Ford Taurus SHO (new)
1989 Ford Bronco II (used)
1941 Plymouth 2 door sedan (antique)
1991 Ford Taurus SHO (used - still own)
1965 Chevy Impala SS (classic)
1993 Ford Taurus SHO (new - still own)
1997 Ford F-150 Ext. Cab (new - still own)
2002 Ford Thunderbird (new classic)

Virtually all of the new cars I've owned have been like the T-bird in that they were the 1st year for the body style and/or engine. Only real lemon of the bunch was the '84 Dodge Caravan. Put me back in a GM car in less than 2 years. The '89 SHO put me into Fords to stay (at least for now).

#3739 Premium
Torch Red w/matching top
Standard Interior
 
1953 Ford 4-door sedan (“Bicentennial Edition”)
1957 Chevrolet 110 (Yes, they really made a 110—BUT, this one was truly custom, with a ’53 Chevy grille and 8 extra grille teeth, among other things.)
1964 Buick Electra 224 4-door Hardtop (The ultimate full-boat Buick—-crass chrome and steel and glass!)
1967 Pontiac Tempest 4-door sedan (Inherited, total dud.)
1969 Buick Electra 4-door Hardtop (Not quite the ’64, but hey, not at all bad--127 mph w/4 people and luggage and plenty of room to spare!)
1971 Ford Galaxy 2-door Hardtop (Nice)
1972 Chevrolet Vega (Hideous engine, but I traded before the truth was known.)
1972 Buick Riviera (Wish I still had it! 455 c.i, coupled to the weight of an M-1A Abrams tank. The last truly unique and beautiful Riviera, imho.)
1977 Buick LeSabre Custom (This was a slick and very limited factory edition, white, with a hard top that had portholes. I doubt if any survive.)
1977 Buick LeSabre 4-door (My personal automotive nadir. UGLY.)
1979 Chevette 4-door (Not as bad a car as you might think)
1980 Mazda 626 (Terrific, but I got the Chevette in the divorce.)
1980 Dodge Pickup (6 cylinder workhorse.)
1967 Austin-Healy Sprite (Given to my stepson by his Dad, but worked on constantly for ten or so years by me. AAAAAGHHHH!)
1984 Ford F-150 Van
1987 Ford Taurus (Liked it till it almost self-destructed at 67,000 miles)
1991 Ford Explorer (Not bad, but too small. Way too small.)
1994 Ford F-150 Extended-cab Pickup (One of the best! Still have it, still love it.)
1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. (What a great, though somewhat troublesome car. My wife and I both still miss it. Only the new Thunderbird kept us from buying another Sebring CV.)
2002 Blue/Blue/Full Blue Thunderbird. (Wow!)
