I'm really bad about keeping cars around. Just turned 22, and I've already had:

1991 Accord EX
1993 Eagle Talon TSi
1995 Honda Civic
1995 Eagle Talon TSi
1993 Honda Civic hatchback
1998 Chevy Blazer
2001 Acura Integra
2003 Kawasaki Ninja

Looking to get out of the Integra within the next couple months, and move up to an s2k.

I'm terrible with my cars. I flip every year to two years and have taken baths on them more than I'd like to have. So I moved to leasing and in less than 8 months, I will for the first time be even on my trade....

1978 260Z 1993-1993
1982 Datsun Pickup 1993-1995
1991 Ford Escort GT 1995-1996
1992 Ford Probe 1996-1997
1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 1997-1998
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 1998-2001
1991 Nissan 300ZX 2000-2002
2001 Nissan Frontier S/C 2001-2002
2000 Honda S2000 2002-2003
2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe 6MT 2003-2004 (Lease is up in 8 months)

Now I can't figure out what I want next.... I'm leaning towards a FX45....

I WISH I could keep my cars for a long time, but they keep getting stolen.

1993 Honda Prelude VTEC - 4 years, then stolen
2000 Honda Prelude VTEC - 3.5 years, then stolen
1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R - 2.5 years so far. Still own. (No one wants to steal it.)
2000 Honda S2000 - 1 year so far. (Should be stolen any day now... )

10 cars in 20 years:

76 Nova (used) 4 years
88 Fox 6.5 years
96 Maxima 2 years
97 Accord 1.5 years
97 Z3 1.5 years
99 Passat 6 years (still have)
00 Odyssey 4 years
00 Trooper 5 years (still have)
03 S2000 2.5 years (still have)
04 Sienna 1.5 years (still have)

I'm half a keeper and half flipper. But I'd like to keep my cars 4-6 years or more. Right now I have 4 cars average age almost 4 years.

I keep my cars. My Miata is with me since 1996, my 7 was built in 2000, my wife's Subaru is 3 years old. The "newest" car I have is my 1972 Bimmer - it has only been with us for 8 months or so...

I usually have a 2 years on average for bikes however - seem to need to change them more often.
