Default Vehicles I have never owned

I am retired now and have owned many vehicles and motorcycles in my life time. But I have never owned a station wagon, mini van, suv, front wheel drive or any 4 door vehicle. I have also never owned a Mopar, Buick, Oldsmobile or Cadillac. Never had an Italian car and my only Japanese car is my S2000. Have driven all of them but no interest in owning any. How about you?

Never owned anything European, or anything with an engine behind me.

Have owned a lot of cars and different brands. Lots of Euro cars, currently have the S2000, a 911, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo S60, BMW 320xi, a Jetta GLI and a 78 VW Scirocco.

Not many domestics, but have had a few.

Mostly in the same situation.

Nothing from Europe, no mini-vans, and no full-size trucks - mostly Japanese or American cars. I am a pure car guy, and prefer vehicles that have enjoyable driving characteristics (so nothing big and heavy). Additionally, I am not one of those people that changes cars all the time. At 43 years old, I have owned 9 vehicles. That seems on the low side for those who love cars.

The car shown in my profile I have owned for almost 40 years, and it has evolved to what you see now. Others have come and gone to fund what I have today with no inclination of selling them until I get too old to enjoy them.

Never had anything French or Italian. No vans, SUV's, station wagons (but I once had a Chevy Vega panel truck, and twice owned really small pickups). Excepting a Pontiac sedan handed down from my mother, which I drove 6 months before dumping it, never any 4-doors. I'll admit to starting out with automatics, but switched to manual transmissions 46 years ago -- my wife can claim never having had an automatic.

The scary part is what, in a changing world, my next new car must be.

I do want me a minivan though, so versatile, but I have no use for it most of the time so hard to justify.

Cool thread I have owned over 50 cars mostly sport or muscle cars and most between the ages of 16 and 26 believe it or not. I've never owned a mini-van ,station wagon or mopar or german car. One car that I have always wanted to own is a 911 and I have come close a few times but it never worked out. I did reach a big car goal at one point and owned a Ferrari with a gated shifter. I like the older sports and exotics but they have become a bit too pricey to me over the last 5 years or so.

I only ever owned Mazdas (GLC and 323 GTX) or Hondas (civic si's and s2000's).
I have never owned a 4 door car.
I have never owned a car with 2 pedals.
