GRM actually does that - it's in the media kit for the magazine. #1 car for GRM readers is, no surprise, Miata.

Your 74 autocrosser is either a 260Z or a 73 model, no such thing as a 74 240Z.
You're right, it was a '73. I had a 260 parts car (no engine) for a bit, but I'm not counting parts cars in the list.
Cheating perhaps, but I try to keep my GRM profile garage up to date so I can keep track for myself.
Been driving and buying cars, trucks, and motorcycles for 58 years now. Every time I start to make a list the wife reminds me of one I missed. Easy to do when you buy in bulk. Like the time I bought 4 Morris Minor 1000's for $200. One good rolling shell for $100 and 3 parts cars for another $100.
Put them all together and it looked like this:
I'm only 18, but here's my list of stuff that have been exclusively mine.
1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham Sedan (fate: given to a friend who more or less dailies it now)
1995 GMC C1500 Sierra (fate: sold to a tradie in Revelstoke)
1996 Ford Crown Victoria (fate: limped to the scrapyard after third gear decided to disappear)
2004 Infiniti G35 6MT Sedan (enjoying the hell out of it!)
1. 74 Nova
2. 80 Mustang
3. 89 Mazda 323
4. 87 Nissan pick up
5. 89 Ranger
6. 74 914 (1.8)
7. 75 914 (2.0)
8. 94 Mustang Cobra
9. 89 Civic
10. 99 F150
11. 14. Nissan Frontier
12. 96 Miata
13. 93 Miata
14. 99 Accord
15. 94 Sentra
16. Suzuki sidekick ( miserable box)
It's not a long list but at least my cars to driver ratio is currently is 5 to 1. Is that worth bonus points?
Some really impressive lists here.
I've been driving for ~13 years, my list is as follows
1) 1995 Toyota Camry DX
2) 1989 Volvo 745 GL
3) 2001 Toyota Highlander 4WD
4) 1999 Honda Prelude Base
5) 2012 Honda Accord Base
6) 2013 Subaru WRX Limited
7) 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
8) 2016 Porsche Cayman GTS (CURRENT)
9) 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (CURRENT)
10) 2016 BMW 428 xDrive GranCoupe (CURRENT)
My last good count was 42, but that was a ways back. It's over 60 now. I don't remember them all. It's one of the signs of my age that i'm not unhappy with.
Here goes. I don't buy cars often. Sometimes I keep them for 20 years or so. List includes SWMBO's & ex-SWMBO's cars.

I do try to be different. Honest.
Every damn time I look for something I end up with a Dodge truck somehow. Just last week I was considering buying a 98 SS/T Ram even though I was looking for a car.
Want to exercise self-flagelation? How about listing the cool cars that you passed on:
