My car history is fun, but mostly because of the details of each car. So I'll add those too.  The list is in chronological order, starting when I was 15 and ending with my current ride, while I am 34.

1992 Buick Century Custom - My grandma's car.  After we decided she couldn't drive anymore, I started using this beast to get to high school.  I also got into Autocross with it.

1986 Ford Mustang - Bought for $500 as a V6 base model.  My dad and I swapped all the running gear out for a 1990 GT that caught fire.  Had ported heads, e303 cam, MSD ignition, Edelbrock performer intake manifold and 650 cfm 4 barrel carb. When I gave the insurance company the VIN they said "this is a V6 correct?"  I replied "Yes sir it is..."  I kept racing autocross in the "E Street Prepared" class.  We never had a ton of money, so one of my dad's friends hooked us up with mismatched, used tires from his junk yard because he wanted to see me race.  He got a hoot out of it because I kicked some rich kid's ass who was driving his dad's LS1 Camaro, with roll cage and slicks.  To be fair the Camaro was lightyears faster, and the kids dad elected to move up several classes, and set times that stomped us both.  But that was the best feeling class win I ever had. 

2000 Dodge Neon - After the Mustang lost to storm surge in a hurricane (I'm from the keys originally) we replaced it with a boring ass neon. 

1996 Ford Ranger - My uncle needed to get rid of it, so it was originally going to my brother.  But he couldn't drive stick, lol.  So I gave him the Neon and snatched up the 4 cylinder stick shift DANGER RANGER as it came to be called.  I moved to Orlando to go to college with this baby.

1990 Mazda Miata - I wanted to get back into autocross.  I remembered getting my butt kicked by Miata guys all the time, so I bought a cheap old one from craigslist.

Huffy Mountain Bike - I didn't take school serious and paid the price.  Dropped out of college after getting bad grades.  Couldn't find legit stable work.  Sold the Miata to pay rent and rode a bike to work at a giftshop for an airboat tour place.  On the upside I had to wrangle a small alligator so tourists could take pictures with it.  Porkchop was his name and he was only about 2 feet long.

1991 Mazda Miata - Started working a stable job and some poor guy on craigslist built a turbo first gen miata, put on coilovers and everything... then got his girlfriend pregnant and had to sell it.  For absolute bottom dollar on craigslist.  It was fun car, and made all the cool turbo noises. 

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP - Wanted to go fast in a straight line for a change.  For really cheap speed these cars are great.  The supercharged V6 is a super moddable platform.  Mine was a black on black 4 door.  I got some dark bronze wheels, and some HID headlights and LED tail lights from Dash Z racing.  The car looked pretty great, and Dash Z even put it on their website back then.

2002 Mazda Miata - Once you've owned a Miata it's really hard to ever give up the way they feel to drive.  I got the Miata bug again and got a really cool "Hard-S" package Miata.  It was a weird suspension package that had factory Bilstein dampers, strut tower brace, springs, brakes.  Charging up onramps at full throttle was so damn fun, even if you weren't really accelerating very hard.  Sliding the back end out in the rain was awesome.  I had to pick up my then girlfriend (now wife) at the front of a movie theater because it was raining.  I pulled the handbrake and slid the car perfectly up to the curb and popped the door open for her.  Probably my greatest moment for anything car related, and it must have worked because we got married while I owned that thing.

2004 Lexus GS430 - Yup, I bought the wrong car here.  I needed a 4 door since we were having a baby, and I wanted to have something fun as well.  A V8 rear wheel drive sedan sounds great, but 300 horsepower isn't enough.  And there is ZERO aftermarket for that motor.  None.  If I had gotten the GS300 it would have been slower, but it had a 2JZ motor that you can throw a turbo on affordably and make heaps of power. 

2014 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost - The beast that brought me here to this forum!  It was just time to put the Lexus out to pasture.  It had too many little issues, and continuing to fix them wasn't worth it.  I wanted something that was fast, but also had modern features.  I got a really solid deal on mine.  It wasn't sold as new until 2015, and the first owner put 60,000 miles on it in 2 years.  She worked for the state of Florida agriculture department and used it to go all over the state.  So it was immaculately kept up, and the miles were almost all highway.  The lady traded it in at the same dealer she bought it new and got a superduty pickup truck.  The dealer had a hard time selling it, and I got lucky and contacted them as they had started prepping it to send to the auction.  People in Tallahassee Florida want pick ups, and this MKS sat on their lot AGAIN for a long time.  They sold it to me for $19,500 not even 2 years after they sold it new to the original owner.  That lady had to be pretty unhappy with whatever trade-in value they gave her.  I worked on the car a little, (see signature for mods) and Brad tuned it.  Now I get groceries in a daily driver that runs 13.0s, with a car seat in the back.  And I freakin love it.

Here's my illustrious automotive history...

1980 Honda Prelude - beater I used and abused for many years
1988 Mustang GT - eventually became a drag race car. 10.32 was best time many moons ago.  Carbureted with lots of nitrous and caged at end.
1989 Taurus SHO - black on gray.  Tranny blew up at 230,xxx miles and was the end of this awesome car.  14.9 @ 98 best time.
1992 Mustang LX 5.0 - street car. 12.54 was best time.  Beautiful car that I will always miss.
1993 Taurus SHO - black on gray, probably my favorite car I have owned. 14.9 @ 93. Hit guard rail at 230,xxx miles and sold to friend.  Still running last I heard.
1996 Chevy 1500 6.5 turbo diesel - family truck and used to tow the 1988 GT
1995 Contour SE v6 - was an auto. nice otherwise
1999 Dodge Ram 1500 - 5.2 base model with tow pack. was family truck and used to tow the 1988 GT
1999 VW Jetta tdi - shared work car. Great fuel mileage.  Terrible car.
2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0 liter Supercab Off Road - leased it and didn't want to turn back in.  Would like another some day.
2002 Nissan Sentra specV - heavily, heavily modified.  EVERYTHING possible was modded.
1990 Nissan 240sx - was a beater, but very fun to drive
1998 Oldsmobile Aurora - nicer to own and drive than you would think
2003 F250 XLT Supercab 4x4 6.0 Powerstroke - 13.9 in quarter and my second favorite vehicle that I've owned
2007 Explorer XLT v8 4x4 - also much nicer to own than you'd think.  very competent and good power with the 3v 4.6
--2008 Honda Fit Sport - manual, mildly modified, was wife's commuter.  Still own and now a toy getting lots of mods soon.  190,xxx miles and going strong
--1990 Mustang LX 5.0 - heavily modified street car.  Original paint, interior, etc, but every mechanical part upgraded. 532whp.  Needs a new home.
2008 F150 SuperCrew 5.4 - should probably still own, but couldn't get passed the poor power and fuel mileage of the 5.4 even after programmed and bolt on's.
2006 Crown Vic - Interceptor, 3.73's, cobra diff, programmed, Mustang GT wheels, etc. Nice car with full civilian pack. 
--2013 Lincoln MKS Ecoboost - reason I'm here at EBPF.
--2017 VW Golf Wolfsburg - Wife's new commuter car.  Little 1.8 turbo runs good and we love hatchbacks. Hoping it's better than last VW.

Edited to add my current shopping list possibilities...
Honda Civic Type-R
F150 5.0 SuperCrew
Ram 1500 Hemi
Beater truck

Those are my current thoughts for next on the list, but as you can tell by my history, it could be something else entirely.

Over time I have found I'm generally happiest with Ford or Honda products.  I need to remember that better when I'm car shopping.  LOL

Currently trying to justify the price of a 2018 F150 5.0.  The '18 5.0 is an absolute BEAST of an engine.  Read up on it if you haven't.  12.5:1 compression.  Makes over 80whp more than the '17 on a chassis dyno.  Ford is WAY underrating them from the factory to get people to opt for the EB motors.

I certainly had some fun full of adrenaline rush and then some with the exception of the T-Type which was stolen but never forgotten! Thanks my friend!  Z  :)

Happy to fly under the radar for now.  They continue to discontinue naturally aspirated engines (like the 3.5 in the Edge), so do what you have to do, quietly, LOL.
