I'm 25. First 3 were highschool and college cars. Then I got into the "import craze". Turboing an N/A subaru, building and sleeveing the block. Aftermarketing engine-management and all of that fun stuff. Then I bought a stock turbo car as I was stick of modding. Then the mod bug bit again, I did a sleeper/street racer STi conversion to an older subaru wagon. Got sick of unreliable big power and got the V. Mod hell has yet to begin with the V.

I fall in the "I've had a lot of Cadillacs in my time" camp. I had to write it out on paper to see how many cars I have had, and it's too many to type out. As far as Cadillacs go, I've had:

78 Fleetwood Brougham- first car, and it was free (thanks, Grandma). 9 people fit with ease...
57 Eldorado Seville
58 Eldorado Seville
58 Eldorado Brougham
59 Coupe DeVille
60 Eldorado Seville
73 Sedan Deville - free car, and the 472 ended up in my 75 Blazer
99 STS
03 CTS
05 CTS-V.

I have a soft spot for late 50's Cadillacs, and a few other cars as well. I have had a few 96 Impala SS's as well, and a bunch of Blazers, too.
