To All the Cars I've Ever Owned Before

A lot of us have been around the bend more than a few times—hey, many of us old farts, it is what it is—and so, through our lives we've all probably had our share of cars in the driveway, and it got me to thinking, it might be fun to list ones that have ever been in my driveway through the years.
1980 Ford Fiesta
1980 Subaru 1600DL
1986 Mitsubishi Precis
1996 Geo Metro
2001 Ford Sport Trac
1996 Chevy Cavalier (wife's car)
1996 Plymouth Breeze (spare 3rd car)
2010 Ford Edge SEL (wife's car)
2011 Ford F-150 XLT
2019 Nissan Rogue (wife's car)
2018 Ford F-150 XLT
When my wife and I had the Edge, we used it as the primary. Other than that, my vehicles have always served as the primary. I really liked that Edge. I don't like driving the Rogue at all.
Not sure what the next vehicles will be, but hopefully it's quite a ways down the road (pardon the pun). But I will likely upgrade to an F-250 or F-350 which will pull the camper better, and I am going to go with diesel. I really want a King Ranch, but I'd be willing to settle for a Lariat.
The wife seems to still have her eye on a Ford Explorer, but who knows? I'd REALLY like to get her keen on the larger sized Bronco, but so far she says she doesn't like them.
But I'd definitely drive that.
So, what cars have you owned over the years? And if you had your eye on something right now, what would it be?

Two Civics, two Novas, two Sentras, a Ford Granada, and two Honda crossovers.
I wouldn’t take a Ford or Nissan again if they paid me (unless I didn’t have to drive it).

I actually went backwards but because you know how coolness works. I bought a ford mustang, Transmission went bad a whole lot of help in people fixing it for me, like that car is crap but if you pay us we will try, so I got GEO, great gas mileage and affordable car, only for it to get side swiped
Then got a Hyundai and that one had no curses.

I think since I have been married to Bob we have owned more cars than in all my years before that. I was forty-five when we married. I probably could not tell you what all we have had. When I was expecting my daughter I had a Pacer (AMC?) the color of the car in your picture. I loved that car, but it had its issues. That was pre-Bob. Other oddities that we have owned--two 1991 Mercury Capris--convertibles, but we got removable hard tops for them because the soft tops just did not hold up. Bob has been eyeballing a Ford Edge, but I have heard they have problems--did yours?

I have only owned 3 cars and bought them new and drove them as long as I could. I had a 1992 Ford Escort for 22 years and than In 2014 I bought the car I still have now a 2014 Subaru, Forrest. I will drive it as many years as I can.

At this moment in time, we are still driving the 2005 Mercedes.We have had work done on it. My husband drives that mostly. I drive the 2017 Kia Rio mostly.
I have always thought Kia Soul is good looking. I wouldn't mind buying one. But, my husband thinks they are tacky looking. He thinks they look like a bread box. Lol
