11 new cars
10 used cars
8 hand me downs (5 new, 3 used when they first came into family)

It's hard to apply the successful/unsuccessful tag to the hand-me-downs, so I won't try.

All new car purchases were successful, although some were foolish.

Three of the used car purchases were unsuccessful, but two were when I was kid and didn't know what I was doing and the third was buying a project car as an adult that I never got to doing anything with before unloading it.

I guess I've been pretty good at selecting cars that scratch the itch I need to scratch at the time?
