Wow, you really are!
I have 3 kids, need the room. One is on his way to college right about the time the lease is up on the Jeep, and I fully intend to downsize the wheelbase, upsize the horsepower and add a 3rd pedal

My oldest son drives the Ponitac variant of that car, excellent machine. I drove it for a couple years till he turned 16.
EDIT: Nevermind, the Vibe is a Matrix, not a Yaris....

Yeah, this thing is junk.

GM would not rebrand a Yaris. They make much better cheap cars.

My first ever new car was a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid.
Totaled it a week before Thanksgiving 2013. It had 140,000 miles or so on it.
Bought a used 2010 Honda Insight with ~80,000 miles I think. Up to 110,000 now.

I usually a Carolla (manual B) ).
I kind of wish I still had my Falcon/Fairmont still but that started having weird problems. -
I've got an 11 F150 Super Crew Ecoboost (love it). Wife has a 13 Explorer Limited (love it for different reasons). Don't know what is next for me, but i'll be getting something newer soon.

This got me thinking that I have lost track of the vehicles I have totaled.
I think this is the right order:
1971 Pontiac Lemans - My first Car (totaled prior to getting my license)
1970 Dodge Coronet 440 - My Second Car
196X Dodge work truck
1985 Dodge K Car - Pushed into a guardrail, superficial damage, but it fried the computer.
1981 Ford Mustang - Upside down in a ditch
1981 Ford Capri (owned 2 weeks) - Telephone pole dropped on it (while I was sleeping).
199X Ford Ranger - Deer
199X Ford E150 Van - Blown motor
2005 Honda CivicI think I am missing one, but i cannot recall it at the moment..
-
You totaled all of those?!?
-
I had a 1991 Buick Regal go up in flames on the highway. Just caught fire and up it went.

My dad rear ended another person on the way to work. His car was in for something, so he took my car. The brakes were shot, and something I was saving money to replace.
1970 Dodge Coronet 440 - My Second Car
An old lady in a ford escort hit my doing 55mph. I was stopped in traffic waiting for the car in front of me to turn.
196X Dodge work truck
dropped from reverse to drive too hard and the frame broke in 2 pieces
1985 Dodge K Car - Pushed into a guardrail, superficial damage, but it fried the computer.
got forced off the road into a guardrail by another driver. just grazed the guardrail, but the computer in that series car is in the passenger side foot well. when I bumped the railed and it pushed in the fender, it fried the computer.
1981 Ford Mustang - Upside down in a ditch
oil rock country road in Illinois. oncoming car did not give me enough clearance so I was off in the grass a bit. when i came back up on the road, the tie-rod snapped and the tire cocked sideways forcing me across the road., the nose caught the dirt and the rear of the car came straight up and over. I was hanging by my seatbelt upside down in a ditch.
1981 Ford Capri (owned 2 weeks) - Telephone pole dropped on it (while I was sleeping).
I was in bed sleeping. A drunk ran into a telephone pole that then landed on my car.
199X Ford Ranger - Deer
2 Deer. I hit one causing minor damage. My dad was taking it to the body shop a few weeks later and one jumped across the road in time for him to hit it full on.
199X Ford E150 Van - Blown motor
As noted, blown motor.
2005 Honda Civic
stop and go traffic, I was aggressively trying to change lanes to take an exit to get out of traffic. I was watching the mirror for an opening more than the lane in front of me.
