25 for the Miata, and 7 for the Neon. I'll give myself half points for the Lancer - it wasn't an Evo - for another 4.5. Puts me at 36.5.
I must say though, after thinking about it... you get more points for having a Dodge Omni than a Dodge Viper?!? Or a Boxster? Or an S2k? Huh?

Thus I have 75 points for three Miatas and 19 points for my Camaro. Since I'm making up rules, I shall also award myself 12.5 points for a Miata-based Locost for a total of 38.5.
I'd like to point out that I studied pure math in university, not applied Traditionalists would insist that 75 + 19 + 12.5 = 106.5, not 38.5. I also forgot about my Civic, which adds another 23 for a traditional total of 129.5.

Welcome to GRM, home of the non-obvious car. Heck, the Boxster and S2k were both just Miata wannabes anyhow
Owned 2 "3 Series" (E30, E36), A Rabbit, not quite a GTI, but the same A1 style Rabbit, a Infiniti G20, which is kinda like a SE-R, same SR20, worked on a Porsche 996 GT3R team, worked for Lotus, still looking for a Miata and a Volvo 240...
Miata = 25
(Spec Miata should get bonus points)
'86 Civic Si = 23
'72 911 targa = 21
total = 69
average = 23
I can't afford many cars, but I've picked good ones!

3 Miata = 75
2 E30 = 48
5 Civic/Crx = 115
2 260Z = 28
1 RX-7 = 14
280 for me. IIRC.
I've owned 2 Miata + 4 3-Series + 1 Civic = 169 points.
I've got plenty more points on my wish list though: 911, Elise, RX-7, S2000, Evo, FFR Roadster
Keith's proposal for how they're counted works for me...
I've owned 5X 3-series, 120pts.
Only one Integra, 22pts.
One mustang, 21pts.
One camaro, 18pts.
One Z-car, (it was an automatic '81 2+2) NO POINTS
One GTI, 14pts.
One RX-7, 13pts.
THREE RWD corollas, 9 pts.
And just one b13 SE-R, 2pts.
for a grand total of 219

So what does an Abomination count for? RX-7 engine and tranny, Miata suspension wrapped in a Spitfire body. Add that to three RX-7s, a 79, and 2 83s, and that's where I am.
Was that the best car ever? How could it not be?
Well, I guess it could have had a LS1, in a Datsun roadster body, but now I am just being picky. Can I have it?

And my score is pathetic.
2 Camaros = 36
1 Civic (OK, so it was technically my wife's = 22
1 Volvo 945, but since it's a wagon, and not a 7 series, but a 9 series, and turbo, I give myself 5 points instead of 1 = 5
=63
I have to buy some Miatae

Since we get to score ourselves and make up the rules as we go here's mine:
25 Miata
12 BMW 2002 (taking half of the 3 series score)
11.5 1980 Honda Accord- half civic score
19 Had a 1987 Camaro with 305, 5 speed and radio delete, no AC
36 Have a real Mini so I am doubling the MINI score
7.5 Had a VW cabriolet - not a GTI, but it was still the A1 chassis - half GT score
111 for me.

We get double for classic Minis? Excellent. That puts me up to 165.5. Since the M5 is obviously 5/3rds of an M3, that's 40 points. Woo, 205.5!
Hmm, the MGB has the front suspension of a Miata with the drivetrain of a Camaro and the fender flares from a Mk1 Rabbit - what's it worth?

My tally is heavily front loaded, as I've owned 6 of the models on the list, and 4 out of the top 5, including multiples.
So, using Keith's formula:
Miatas, 2 x 25 = 50
Civics, 4 x 24 = 96
Mustangs, 2 x 22 = 44 (any bonus points for two 65's?)
Porsche 911, 21
WRX, 13
AE86, 4
Total of 228 points
...and I will own an Elise!
Alright, you twisted my arm...
2 Mustangs (65/66???) (82 GT) for 44 pts.
1 85 MR2 for 10 pts
1 86 corolla (sr5-boo!) for 4 pts
Of these 4 cars, only 2 ever ran, and a whopping zero were ever registered or driven in anger-maybe I drove the MR2 in a miffed manner.
Still, 56 points-I RULE!
5(ish) miatas-125
300zx -16
2rx7 -28
169, not bad.

I have owned 2 mustangs.
One was a four cylinder so I guess that would be 11 + 22 = 33???

Miata, Mini. Not too bad, though at my age I should have had more by now. I blame the Alfas. I've wanted one of each of most of the cars on the list, though!
Hmmm Spec Miata gets extra points??? I like that idea. I may have forgotten an RX or two also but you get the idea of where I have spent my money over the years. Mazda rules imo. Ironically I owned the 911 before I got into racing and most of the cars since have had a relationship to my interest or plans in racing.

I only have owned two. My corolla was too new to be in the line, and somehow the ms3 didn't make the list, even though I believe it should have, as it basically (IMO) reinvented the pocket hatch wars. There was Evo and STi before it and even the SRT- but it got serious when the ms3 arrived. My MINI does however, qualify, and I was a DSM owner til the car pulled a Chernobyl on me. And the wife won't let me have any more cars until we own a home with a spot for me to hide all my acqusitions. I fear the day I have a full garage.

- 25 Miata
- 24 E30
- 23 Civic
- 23 Civic
- 11 MR2
106 total
Without doing halfsies for "close" models. I owned a Lancer for a while, I've never driven an Evo but I'll be disappointed if the Evo is only twice the car the Lancer is.
Using the "Keith" scoring system:
75- Miatae x 3
69- CRX x 2, Integra x 1
130- RX7 x at least 10
12- Imprezza WRX x 1
10- MR2 x 1
2- Sentra SE-R x 1
Total=298
24 - 1 E36 BMW 3 series.
23 - 1 '95 Honda Civic.
20 - 1 C4 Corvette
11 - 1 Fox-body Mercury Capri, so I'm awarding myself half the Mustang points.
Total: 78
1 x 25 point Miata
1 x 23 point CRX (mine has a 180+ hp B16)
1 x 23 point Civic (94 VX)
1 x 20 point C5 Corvette
91 points for four cars. How many points would a kart be worth? Definitely the best GRM car of all time.
