I have a pickup truck, a small 4wd suv, a small sports car, and a motorcycle, the bride has a small economy car. All are used and payed for and each has its use for me. How many do you have?
How many registered vehicles do you have?

None. I have never owned a car and never will.
Thats a shame! They're fun.
We have 2 cars. I am presently working towards my CDL license so that I can operate fire apparatus.
They are also a great strain on the wallet. I am far too stingy to own a car.
I'm too accustomed to the convenience. Aside from the fact that there is no public transportation in Connecticut.
I am a cheap person as well miss chicken, the cost over here is not so bad as there I think. All my cars are used and I make no payments, its only insurance that costs and its not so bad. Here where I live, you really must have a car or life would be extremely hard on you. More rural without much public transport.
Yeah, unless you live in a major city with good public transportation, it's very difficult to exist in America without a car.
I have one, which I co-own with my dad.
It's not too difficult. I live in a small town (70,000ish population), so my bike gets me where I need to be. My roommate has a car which she'd let me borrow in an emergency. And if one of my friends isn't going to the nearest large city when I need to, there's a shuttle bus that's not too expensive. It sounds a little strange at first, but once you start biking you become pretty reluctant to go back to car ownership, in my experience. (I know a few other people with just a bike, and they've actually made decisions on where to live based on how bike-friendly places are. Hopefully I'll be able to continue using a bike and mass trans when I move away from here.)
I have one car (Honda CR-V). That's it.
I would love to use a bike more often, but it would take me at least a half hour to get anywhere useful.
Plus, biking in the snow doesn't sound like much fun right now.

I'm 35 and I've ever only ever owned one vehicle. Back in '03, a 1988 slant 6 Chevy S10 hand painted gray.
I bought it for $650 from a motorcycle mechanic so I thought it was in good working order. I probably was. Come winter, I was trying to get out of an unshoveled driveway and I probably burnt out the clutch but before that, I had just gotten the whole brake line replaced. Scary feeling not being able to stop at stop lights. I pull into Midas and ran over their hedge. I go into their office, I ask, "how's it going?" Still gazing out the window at my truck, the mechanic says, "probably better than you right now, heh."

No cars are registered to my name. But I drive a 2001 Toyota Camry.
I have a 02' Ford Taurus, got it after some asshole in a BMW wrecked my 92' Buick. (Or rather to say, he wrecked his car around mine... :P BMWs aren't meant to try to drive through Buicks methinks.)
Just the two: Hubby's car and my car (if you can call a badly-beaten up, 15 year old vehicle that takes 20 minutes to start a "car."
Our cars are "must haves." Hubby drives 40 miles a day, to and from work, and if I have a day off, I need my clunker to run errands that would not otherwise get done.
But both are paid for in full and have been for some time.

Until recently, we had three:
- '06 VW Eos 2.0FSI (mine)
- '06 MB SLK 200 (dad's)
- '05 VW Passat 2.0TDI (mom's)
Then due to my dad's health problems, my folks traded in their cars and got an '09 Audi Q5. I still have my Eos of course.
Oh yeah, both cars are of course payed for in full.
