How many cars have you 'Driven'?

S.R. · Dec 18, 2001

Can you remember all the cars that you have 'driven' in your life? I was just thinking about all the cars that I have driven since I was 14, and my total came up to 57 different cars. These include cars you have owned/own, family cars, test drives, friends cars, cars you parked, and cars you stole, etc. <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/wink.gif"> This does not include cars you have 'ridden' in as a passenger or just 'sat' in, although different model years of the same cars driven do count.Here is my list:<A HREF="http://drewsrx.port5.com/Home/list.html" TARGET=_blank>Cars I Have Driven!</A>BTW, I posted this on VWVortex as well and got a pretty good response. <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/wink.gif">-Drew

Well, the test is over, so I have about 20 minutes of free time... I can imagine about 30 cars I have test driven... now remember, I have only had my permit since February, and my license since last month... so I have done this all in about 9 months. I have also driven about 8 friend's cars, 2 uncle's, 3 aunt's, and my 4... o ya, and that one car my dad and I test drove at 9, and the dealer closed... does that count as stealing?? Well, we gave the car back the next morning... btw, it was a 99 sl500, the dealer was Eddie Accardi Subaru/Mazda/Toyota, so if you ever want to drive an sl 500 over night, you can come down here, and "borrow" one. That comes to a grand total of 50.

Gawd, I can't remember everyone. I have owned 25+ let alone every car I have driven...just what I have appraised at the dealer, has to be 250+ let alone test drives, freinds, being in Europe. I couldn't begin to guess.

Can I count cars I've driven at press events and on press loan?

11110000 · Dec 18, 2001

I've owned 5 total. I still have 3 of them.Driven? - well, with my dad being a Volvo salesman, and having worked in an auto recon (clean up and detail cars, then drive 'em to the auction), I really couldn't say. I'm sure its in the low hundreds. Everything from Accords, Camrys, to Range Rovers, Land Cruisers, to 3000GTs, Porsche 911 and 944Ts, a ZR-1... even some old Alfas, Fiats and Peugots. Really makes me appreciate my Volvos...

I think I have driven a few cars:Family/own cars: 94 Volvo 855T, 95 Volvo 854T, 99 Lexus RX300, 00 Subaur Legacy B4, 00 Maserati 3200GT, 00 Subaru Forester, 97 Infiniti Q45, 96 MB SL320, 90 MB 230E, 94 Porsche 993 C2, 94 BMW 325iC, 93 Toyota Aristo, 90 Maserati 430, 99 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI.Friends/relatives 97 MB CL500, 98 Honda Odyssy, 00 Toyota Estima, 00 Lexus IS200, 93 Toyota Celica, 96 Toyota Camry, 90 Volvo 744 GLE 16V, 87 Volvo 745 GLE.Test drive 99 Nissan Skyline GTR, 00 Toyota RAV 4, 98 Volvo V40 1.9T, 98 Volvo S40 T4, 98 Volvo V70, 96 Volvo 854T, 97 Volvo 854 GLT, 96 Volvo 855, 99 Lexus GS300, 99 BMW 528i, 99 BMW 528i sport, 99 Chrysler 300M, 98 Subaru Legacy GT, 99 Volvo S80 T6.Rental Cars/Miscellenous OK, those are boring, maybe 15 different models of cars.So I guess it makes it roughly 55 cars. The strange thing I have realized is that, the 3 cars that I have/had (Volvo 854T, Lexus RX 300 and Subaru B4), I have never test driven any of them before I bought it. On the hand, all the model of cars that I have test driven, I never ended up buying.TerenceP.S. Just got 17" AVS Model 5 with 215/45/17 BS S03 tires for my B4 <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/smile.gif">
