In reverse order from latest to first:
Currently: 06 STI
-02 WRX
-Returned to 300E(transmission died at 280k miles)
-99 Miata (Got it cause I wanted a convertible, but it was a POS, had transmission problems at 5k miles-I then totaled it cause I tried to drive it like the MR2; BIG mistake-Plus side: used the money to make the 300E into a 400 at 210k miles )
-86 300E (hand me down, was my dad's beater after he got his 95 E420; it had 190k miles when I got it)
-94 MR2 turbo (my first car, which I got when I turned 16- I know, I know, spoiled kid right, a brand new sports car at 16, but it's not as bad as these kids with STIs or with new M3s in high school!- broke the tranny at 30k in 96; damn Battle of the Imports, Cyber Racing ruled!-sold it 13500 broken; wish I kept it now)
Proud to say that I've never owned Hondas, nor a car made in the U.S.; wouldn't want one even for a beater- ok, maybe an NSX as a beater; Imports for life!
currently looking to get an old 240sx or 1st gen. MR2 to use as a beater so my STI has less than 20k miles when I trade it in for the next gen. Impreza STI- in 08 probably, and will likely own a turboed Suby for life!

We are car nuts. The best car we've owned would have to be the Boxster. The worst would have to be the IS300. The STI is awesome though.

I really wasn't impressed with the Boxter (02 w/ hardtop) when I drove it. The pedals are just too... off-center for my likes. The car seemed pretty slow too. It was a nice car for $26k (used). If it was an S model I think that it may have impressed me more. They still look sweet.
