I was just driving home and it occurred to me - I have no idea how many different cars I've ridden in. I bet it's like a thousand.

for ppl saying "thousands" - i don't think you've thought this through. or you're really bad at abstract estimation.

i'd say the average middle-aged adult would be - maybe - a couple hundred different cars. maybe.

I've worked on cars for a living since around 1998. I have been in lots and lots of different cars. I don't remember the nicest but do remember the dirtiest ones.

I'll grant that I am really bad at estimating things like that but 200 cars doesn't seem like enough. I've been in a lot of cars I think.

think about all the planes you've been on, each with its own different inspections missed. each flight bearing the risk of any part of the plane failing, dropping you out of the sky like a 10 ton aluminum turkey that god never intended to fly

I'm not your average middle aged adult. My professional and private lives both revolve around cars.

Put it like this 365 days a year, minus 104 for Saturday's and Sunday's off, another 25 for vacation and holidays etc. that's 236 working days in a year. Some days I work on 1 car for a big project, others 5+, so I think 3 a day is a nice conservative average. That's 708. Now I've been working on this one manufacturer for over 10 years, so 7080 just for one make alone. That doesn't even count the independent shops I've worked at or the poo poo I do in my spare time. I guess you're right, I was way off.
