How many cars have you owned?

tec333 · 07-12-2016, 02:04 AM

I just counted mine up - I've had 9.

I bought my first car when I was 16, I'm gonna be 41 in a few months.

So that's 25 years of car ownership - which makes it an average of 2.7 years per car. I think longest one I owned was 7 years and shortest was 1.5 years.

Whats urs? How many cars, average ownership, longest u had and shortest?

TrevorM3 · 07-12-2016, 06:27 AM

M5 will be my 6th car. Iam 25. Average ownership is about a year and a half. Lol. Variety is the spice of life, or so they say

djseto · 07-12-2016, 08:16 AM

I'm 35. The M5 is my 11th Car (3rd BMW) since I was 16. I just got married so I'm pretty sure my streak is going to slow down...a lot. The M5 was my last "hurrah" for a while...

KMORGSM5 · 07-12-2016, 09:40 AM

i'm 30 and the M5 is my 9th car, 4th BMW. About to have a baby so swapping out cars so often is def going to slow down, as i have told my friends i now have my dad car

fkim119 · 07-12-2016, 11:12 AM

20 cars since turning 16.

32 here. I just get bored so quickly and like the next pretty shiny thing...

bruza · 07-12-2016, 12:38 PM

5th car (Second BMW) going back to 17.

I had three Volvo's before I got the M3 and M5. Still have Volvo #3.

Darkshear · 07-12-2016, 01:38 PM

10 cars; I'm 35. First 5 cars were shitboxes so they came and went quickly. On my 4th BMW now.

sales@vivid · 07-12-2016, 02:36 PM

Oh man...if I had this in my teens I would have wrapped it around a pole in a few months.

johntomferg · 07-13-2016, 04:09 AM

12 but that is if I include shared ownership with my wife of 14 years. If I limit it to the cars that were primarily mine, then I would say 6.

I'm 37.

My limiting factor has always been the number of garage spots.

e90alpinem3 · 07-13-2016, 08:58 AM

I'm 33 going on my 11th car and my wife thinks I'm nuts! Haha

phil_ · 07-13-2016, 10:54 AM

Indiana Jones · 07-16-2016, 09:28 PM

11 Cars and 3 motorcycles...I still have 2 of the 3 motorcycles. I'm 31 and I am moving into an M5 or a 911 Turbo within the next few months...just can't for the life of me decide which one to go with!

Like many of you, my wife wants to kill me and she thinks I am nuts. My response is that I can justify a 70k car if she can justify a 70k pool in our backyard!

Eddybro · 10-19-2016, 10:36 PM
