Seeing as my only car is a '99 LS400, I'll go over my family's past cars.

1988 Volvo 240DL
Infiniti I30t
Toyota 4Runner (RIP: My first car accident :') [I was about a year or two old])
Nissan Stanza (RIP: My second car accident lol)
Toyota Avalon
Lexus LX450
Lexus RX300
Lexus RX330
Lexus ES300
2005 Lexus LX470
2007 Acura MDX*
2002 BMW X5
2007 Lexus GX470*
1999 Lexus LS400 (my personal car)*

Note - Anything that I haven't put the year for is mainly due to my lack of clues.
* - the car is presently owned.

Future plans? I'm hoping to buy an OG Miata some time in the coming years for a weekend cruiser/racer. I'm also trying to convince my parents to look into getting a GS for my younger brother (he's 14 at present) when his time comes. My parents have also been talking of replacing the Acura MDX with something from Lexus (more than likely an RX since it's of a similar platform).

First car: 1987 Corolla FX-16 -- great sleeper car, bought right out of college. Bought new, sold with 115K miles with a leaking head gasket to a guy who exported it to Costa Rica

Next car: 1993 Nissan Sentra SE bought new. Went for more headroom basically. Didn't love that car so much, sold with about 65K miles in 1998 or so.

Also got: 1996 Miata base model -- bought new. fun, good weather car, owned alongside the Nissan and the Lexus. Wrecked it in 2012 with about 80K miles and replaced it with...

2012 Miata PRHT Grand Touring. Nicer than the original Miata but not quite as fun because of the added weight and luxuries. However I do find myself driving it more than the original Miata because of its superior comfort, space, practicality compared to the original.

In 2001 bought my 1998 LS400 with 48K miles on it, CPO from Johnson Lexus in Raleigh, NC. Still have it, now has 240K miles. Love this car though it is showing its age, plan to keep it going through at least 270K (next timing belt interval) then will evaluate options... keeping it going still longer definitely on the table.

Also a few trucks:
1987 Dakota that I bought in 1997 with 200K+ miles on it. Strictly a junk truck for trips to junkyard, farm work (I have a 20 acre hobby farm). Gave up the ghost in 2010 and replaced with..

1998 Tacoma -- my worst purchase. Bought it on the reputation of Toyota reliability and nostalgia because its interior reminded me of my original FX-16. Was crap, I didn't drive it enough, donated it to charity in 2011 because I couldn't in good conscience unload it on an unsuspecting buyer and replaced it with..

2004 F150... still have. Has 175K miles and is stone simple.. crank door handles, vinyl interior, etc.
