At 20, I've got three cars. lol Although one is going to go to Texas with Jonsgreasemonkey in return for the sheer amount of work he helped with (cough cough *did by himself while I sat in a chair*) during my Z28's rebuild/buildup.
First car-1995 Camaro 3.4 nicknamed "Steph" because the felt dash pad was embroidered with the former owner's name. Drove it til it blew the trans, and a head gasket followed. Somehow I got forced into replacing the trans by family members (though I knew the motor was on its way out), did burnouts and drifted it with a blown head gasket until the starter died and it wouldn't crank anymore.
Current love and the car I will never part with, my second car-1998 Camaro Z28 A4. I looked high and low for a M6 SS or WS6 in my price range, got shafted out of not only a M6 35th Anniversary package SS, but also an M6 CETA. Kept looking, didn't find another manual in my price range, saw this red Z28, and it was love at first sight. Blew the living tar out of the motor and put in a cam and some 241 heads. Currently waiting on me scraping up the money for a tune.
The car I hate with a passion-2000 Honda Passport, has my Z28's "A BAD Z" tag slapped on it, always acted weird since I was handed the keys, broken gas gauge, 15 mpg POS slower than the actual concept of slow. Currently rotting in the yard due to a blown trans seal and my hatred of it cannot be overcome to make me fix it. lol
I've been angling for a lot of classics, and come very close to a few, among them a 1968 Camaro SS, a 1968 Camaro I6, a 1967 Mustang M3 289 notch, a 1966 I6 Mustang, a 1969 Dodge Charger that would have come with a 440 and a Borg-warner, a 1971 Camaro RS, a 1972 Firebird Formula 400 with a blown motor, a 1970 Roadrunner that would have come with a 440 and an auto, a 1968 Chevelle SS396, and a 1973 Nova with a cammed 350. Unfortunately, someone always managed to edge me out by a few hours on purchasing them.

98 Camaro - 3.8 Artic White with white leather and t-tops. (1st Car, bought brand new. Traded in on current Z) Sighted it in Ocoee about 3 years ago..

80 Corvette - L48 2-Tone Metallic blue, Hooker headers and side pipes, unknown HCI. (Been in the family since new.. Great hand-me-down highscool graduation present, never being sold.)

01 Z-28 Triple Black Convertibe (Current car.. supposed to be a daily driver, but didnt work out when the mod bug bit. Driven more than the Vette, but still a toy.)

02 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT - 3.0 V6 Silver. Stock but loaded DD good for 28mpg.. works for me.

Oldest to most current:

1993 Honda Accord = Totalled after two months when some woman ran a stop sign and rammed me.
1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST = Piece of ****
1995 Pontiac Grand Am = I hated this car

I still have all of these.
1995 Chevrolet Camaro = DD
1998 Pontiac Firebird Formula = The greatest car ever except for the engine nuking itself. It should be running in the next month or two.
1993 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 = Very slow progress project
