Yes, that's a challenge. I find myself running down my list every time I'm car shopping. Failed projects and parts cars are fair game. I know some of you will put me to shame but I think I've had a fair collection.
First I'd like to say: My name is Jacques, I'm 25 and I have a problem.

Parts cars and projects that never moved under their own power on the street or at the track should NOT count.
Nice list. Give me an hour and I might get mine done. I would suggest seperate lists for parts cars/non-runners.

I like this game.
77 Plymouth Volare- Hasn't run in 20 years or more... needs a restomod, was inherited from my father when he died.
93 Corolla- Blew it up, threw a j/y motor in it, sold it.
95 Eagle Talon- Wrecked it, repaired it, blew it up, got hit again while sitting, eventually stripped and crushed it.
89 Escort Wagon- Bought it the first time I wrecked the Talon. Auto trans went bad, I only paid 350$ for the car, sold it as scrap.
99 Chevy Prizm. Was a sharable beater before it was sold when we bought the Mini
05 Mazda 3 hatch- Traded it for a Mazdaspeed3
07 Mazdaspeed 3- got it cause it had a turbobooster
05 Mini Cooper S- The wife called me one day and told me we owned a Mini, and told me to come get it because she couldn't drive stick yet.
95 Taurus- Bought from the guy I sold the Prizm to for, paid 100$ for it, my winter beater.
99 Chevy Prizm- Yes, the same one. I sold it to the guy after we bought the Mini, he kept it for 3 years, sold it back to me for 150$. I don't really know what I'm gonna do with it this time.
'89 Escort GT, '88 Nissan 300ZX, '85 Lincoln Town Car (was awesome for road trips in college), '98 Monte Carlo Z34, '04 Yamaha R6, '88 325is, '91 318is, '06 350Z, '10 Mazdaspeed 3.
Have only the mazda at the moment, but I'm actively looking for another E30. I just picked up a set of RS001s for when I do find an E30.

how long do we have to own the car for before it gets on the list?
do project cars that never got finished count?
do they have to have been registered in your name?
my list can be very short or pretty long depending on how those questions are answered.
My list of cars I've owned in order of purchase (probably forgetting a few, okay a lot). Not that I started at 15 and am now only 27. These are all running/driving cars that I owned for at least 24 hours and drove at least once before selling.
I feel like I'm forgetting some. There's also well over 50 parts cars or non-running projects that I bought and sold over the same period, the vast majority of them 87-88 Ford TBird TC's.
Mine includes a couple non-finished projects and a couple short term ownerships.
Curiously, I've never owned a Mazda or a 6 cylinder vehicle.

I only have the 79 Mazda RX-7 GS,74 Mazda REPU,and 01 Dodge Ram Wagon 2500 van still,and one 83 RX-7 GSL as a parts car/I don't know what the hell I am going to do with it car.
This isn't counting my wifes cars which have been much less. I think she has only had 6 vehicles in her life. Two Escorts(83-93),Rodeo(95.5),Protege(00),Forester(05),Sienna(06).
Of all the cars I have owned only two were new,the 96 Dodge Dakota,and the 04 RX-8 which was a 2 year lease that I opted out of one year in because we bought a bigger house. My 99 Mazda B4000 was in the showroom,but was bought with 4000 miles on it. My wife has had two new cars. One being the 00 Protege,and the other the 05 Forester.

Not without a week of preparation similar to legal discovery.
A list of my driven cars, be they daily drivers or just cars I had for giggles. I'm not going to list the projects that didn't go anywhere, cars I fixed and sold that were not registered in my name or cars just bought for parts:
Starting in 1988
1980 Chevy Monza: $900, learned many valuable lessons from this purchase, as the unibody pretty much cracked in half. I vowed to learn about cars and not get suckered again. Before this point cars were appliances to me.
1886 Cavalier Z24: This was purchased in1989 for $4500. Despite my earlier vow, I still had a lot to learn. The speedo and odometer would randomly switch to Km/h and stay that way. I had to disconnect the negative on the battery terminal and reconnect it X times to get it to set back to MPH for a while. Died when rolled on the Taconic Parkway in '92 due to driver fatigue, I learned another really valuable lesson there.
1985 Pontiac Grand Prix: Purchased in '93 for $250 from my parents after not having a car for a while. Compression entropy caught up with it in '96, and I parked it and bought the car below. I gave it away after it sat at my grandmother's house in NY for a few years after I moved to NC.
1982 Chevy Cavalier: Purchased in '96 best $100 I ever spent, bought it from a college buddy leaving the country, sold it for $110 in 98.
1988 RX-7 SE: Purchased in 1998 with 119k miles on it, it also had compression entropy after going another 65k miles on the original engine.
1987 RX-7 Turbo: Purchased in 1999 as a project, this car was fun when it was running right. Sold in 2010 for three times what I paid for it, and about 1/2 of what I had into it.
1995 Dodge Neon: Purchased in 2002 when the '88 RX-7 got wonky, traded for car below in a three person deal (my little brother needed a car, my parents had a mini-van they were not using)
1997 Caravan: "My" car, but my wife drove it since the AC worked in it and the AC in her car didn't.
2006 Mazda 3 5 door: My wife drove this, too. I was still stuck in her Cavalier.
2007 Jeep Liberty: Bought for wife after we had a second child and I could no longer drive the 2006 Mazda 3 with a rear facing car seat on the driver's side . I sold her Cavalier and took over the 2006 Mazda 3.
2005 Mazda 3 5 door (5 speed): HEY! A 5 speed car the same color as the one we have, with less miles on it. I traded them the 2006 with the auto, paid them the Doc fee and took this one home.
1989 BMW 325i: Some jerk hit my Mazda in a parking lot, and it was going to take 3 weeks to fix. I was going to pay out of pocket and rather than rent a car, I just bought an E30 and drove that.
1989 BMW 325ix: I bought this while visiting my grandmother in Albany, NY and drove it back to NC. Sold it after starting to get it into good order and realizing I was not going to be satisfied until I dumped about $4000 into it.
2004 Forester XT: Current driver, sold the Mazda 3 because I needed something to pull my boat that wasn't my Jeep so my wife wouldn't be stuck without a car when I was out fishing. Yes, this is how resistant my wife is to learning to drive a manual transmission.
1995 VW Golf: Rallycross project. I'll list this since it runs and is insured at the moment. It didn't pass inspection yet, so it doesn't have plates. I have to wire in a new 3rd brake light and rig up some kind of horn.
Current projects: 1995 NYG Neon Coupe (2.4 swap in the works)
