I'm 54 and been a mechanic pretty much as far back as I can remember. I've worked on some very sweet vehicles in my life but never owned any that were very memorable, or worth a second look. Even the 2 International trucks I presently own are not really drool worthy nor will they ever be.
79 Chev C-10------34 years, but this truck is about done and will probably be sold soon
59 Chev ElCamino--12 years, surprised I'm still married after all the money this took to restore
66 Chev ElCamino--6 years, but just finished the restore last April
65 Ford Ranchero--2 years, but my uncle bought it new---left it to me when he passed--I remember riding in this car as a young boy----factory 289HiPo/4spd
05 Ford Ranger----bought it new and will probably hang onto this for a while.
The rest of the cars have no real personal attachments, and we go thru a car pretty quick. Living in Texas can wear a car out in a hurry.
Wish I still had:
70 Plymouth Sport Fury GT 440-6-------------killed by a drunk driver while it was parked
67 Chrysler 300 440-TNT/4-spd/Discs/Posi----Stolen in 89---All time FAVORITE car and would never have sold it.

I'm older than dirt.
I found My 1916 t roadster in 1951 on a neighbor's ranch, , and saw pictures in a 57 Hotrod magazine and started gathering parts, and it's still in a corner of the barn and needs a restore, better steering gear mounts, redo the brakes, paint is peeling. etc

Since I rarely get rid of cars the collection continues to grow:
73 Duster-Been in Family since 74. Still driven occasionally.
78 Camaro-Purchased March 86. Mostly daily driver until 05'
79 Camaro-Purchased July 87-Wife's Daily driver until 2001, back on the road in late 2009 after lengthy restoration. Took best in class at an AACA sponsered show it's first outing.
89 Mustang 5.0-Been in Family since new-Drive it maybe once a month now. I drove this one quite a bit until I got the goat.
2006 GTO-Semi daily driver, bought new/never titled from dealer in April 07'
