My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Just prior to this one, I was driving a 2002 Chrysler 300M Special and a 2005 Ford Mustang GT. Loved 'em both dearly, and I miss the Mustang like crazy. 
smoak, keep the Lightning and ditch the H-D F150.

I've never actually tried to make a list off all the cars I've had (and I'm pretty sure a couple are missing), but figured this was a good chance to record what I could remember (my kids may get a kick out of it some day). I included what were mainly my wife's vehicles since we got married and a string of company cars (used to be some decent ones and replaced every year -- then things went down hill over time). Mostly GM since I used to work for them... (my wife is still feel pretty loyal living in MI and our recent GM vehicles have been really good).
I think there are 37 on the list:
1976 Chevy Monza
1977 Olds Cutlass
1980 Olds Cutlass
1983 Toyota Celica GT-S
1983 Pontiac 6000STE
1971 VW Bug (wife?s)
1971 Chevy Corvette LT-1 Conv.
1984 Buick Skyhawk (wife?s)
1986 Pontiac Fiero
1986 Buick Century (wife?s)
1987 Acura Legend (wife?s)
1988 Pontiac 6000SE (very rare manual trans)
1989 Pontiac Sunfire (wife?s)
1965 Pontiac GTO Conv.
1991 Pontiac Grand Prix (wife?s)
1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula
1994 GMC Jimmy
1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSE (company car)
1994 Pontiac Bonneville SSE (company car)
1995 Olds Silhouette (company car)
1996 Olds 88 (company car)
1996 Chevy Blazer (wife?s)
1997 Pontiac SSE (company car)
1998 Chevy Venture (wife?s)
1988 Pontiac Fiero
1998 Chevy Venture (company car)
1999 Chevy Astro (company car)
1969 Pontiac GTO Conv. (still have)
1995 Chevy Camaro Z28
2001 Chevy Impala (company car)
2002 GMC Envoy (wife?s)
2003 Dodge Stratus (company car ? last straw and only had a few months)
2001 BMW 330i (couldn't take crappy company cars any longer!)
2004 Cadillac SRX (wife?s)
2006 Cadillac SRX (wife?s)
2006 BMW 530i
2008 GMC Acadia (wife?s)

Since this thread is still going thought I'd add one of my favorite pictures of 2 of my favorite cars.
Heading down to the Woodward Dream Cruise with the GTO in a little while. Tomorrow there will be over 1 million people and 30,000 plus beautiful cars!

My Ride: '04 545i Sapphire Black/Black 6-speed Manual, Sport, AS, CWP, Navi, Premium Sound, Bluetooth, iPod Adapter.
Here is a picture of my old Acura CL-S 
. It was a great car, never any problems, and the 6-spd was smooth as silk. Very fun car to drive. At first I was a little hesitant on giving her up, but the 545 is a total beast!

2007 BMW 550
Was all set to get 2008 535 this month but it looked so homely compared to aero-packaged 550 that I just could not make myself do it. Decided to extend my lease till November to check out 2009s. A very bad time to get a new car. Nothing exciting is out there, except maybe M3 but the thing is so small and ugly...
