I'll play too. 

Here is what I can remember. The list does not include parts cars. Some
model years are approximate since I no longer have the titles. The order is
probably not correct. 

I am sure there are some cars that are missing from the list. They just
weren't memorable enough to be mentioned. The motorcycle and airplane lists
are much smaller. :-)
