You know, I think it'd be kind of cool to keep this list running. We'll all undoubtedly drive more, different, cars in the future.  This seems like as good a way as any to keep track of it all.

This is it off the top of my head.  I got a bunch of rentals I can't remember the exact year, but this is a good start.

Id have to think about that a bit but the fastest car I've ever driven was a Mercedes SL55. 500hp but a slushbox. I also drove an NSX one time.
I almost got to drive a 911 Gt2 but another dude got to it first. (This was when I worked at the mercedes/ german auto park 10 years ago.)

Not really a car, but I'll count it:

Suzuki GSX-R 600

First and only bike I've ever been on...

I agree.  It's cool to see what everyone's history is.  It's also clear that I've driven a lot of shitboxes and I've really been missing out on decent cars

I also added a Versa and a last-gen Tiburon I forgot I test drove, and a rental Impala.  And I added which cars were manuals (only 5, sheesh).

I have driven too many cars. If I get bored one day I'll edit this post with them, but it's gonna be long, and I won't remember half of them. Stupid jobs, making me drive cars all the time.

I'll have to make my list when I get home from work

Fuck, I don't even know...I have to remember them.

That list would be like two pages long, or even ten when I can count the cars I tow.....

You guys need to do much better at slacking at work. Aris would be very, VERY disappointed in you.  

I couldn't begin to remember.

Coolest - M3 GTR
Shittest - Renault 19 with a leaky head gasket

I'll follow his form.

Coolest: 1965 Corvette Convertible. Small block, unsure of the size, automatic. drove it about ten feet or so in an empty parking lot when I was about 12.
Shittiest: '89 Honda Prelude with just about everything wrong with it, but it basically taught me how to drive a stickshift.

Being that I worked as a mechanic, too many to list.

SBF wrote:Being that I worked as a mechanic, too many to list.

I'm not a mechanic, but did work at a shop for only a few months and I can't even remember all of those.

I've probably driven hundreds if not thousands of Kia Sorentos, Optimas, and Hyundai Santa Fes.
