I actually don't buy a lot of cars so I'm not far off from you.

06 Chevy Cobalt (still own it, use it as my beater)
08 Corvette (was hit by a drunk driver and totalled)
08 Corvette Z06 sold it in 2017
70 Cuda (sold it 2017)
2013 Cadillac CTS-V
Definitely would have figured you for another fun car or two and a pickup for work.
I spent most of my 20s trying to get to a place where I could afford fun cars. I feel like the next decade will see a lot more interesting things in the garage.

As for trucks we always have trucks for work but I only drive them when I have to. We had an old Silverado for a million years, in fact it's still in a shed somewhere. Odometer quit after like 400k, Still have a 99 Silverado. We have a 2014 Ram diesel that's our main work truck.
