The funnest car I had to drive was a Mazda RX-7....but alas, I had a child and had to trade it in for a mini-van!:(

I would have to say I had the most trouble with the infamous Suburban!

Grand Caravan - plenty of room in the back for extra cirricular activities.

Actually, when my kids started sports, I had already upgraded to the Suburban!

I've been extremely luck with my vehicles. They have had minor problems (water pump, AC) but nothing serious. I think my funnest vehicle was the 1990 Iroc Z, but I'm a truck guy. I just sold my 2006 Chevy and bought a 2008 Chevy, Texas Edition, truck.

My favorite vehcile was a 1976 Ford Ranger. My dad got it for me when I was 16. It was charcoal gray with a 460 engine. It ate gas like it was nothing but damn it, I loved it.

I think my funnest car has to be one I have now. A Cadillac CTS. This is one sweet ride. It is built on the same chassis/suspension as the corvette. My worst has to be when I lived in Italy. I had a Fiat station wagon. In 2 years I replaced the engine twice. A real junker. I did have a Ford Granada in the 80's that ranks up there with the worst of them. :D

[WOS87]

My red 2000 Saturn SC1 3-door coupe was by FAR the lowest maintenance car I've ever had. Never broke down, never had to bring it in for anything other than a regular oil change and tune up in 7 years.

1994 Chevy Malibu was by FAR the worst... I think I had to replace the alternator on that thing 4 or 5 times in as many years.

[BILLYFRED0000]

My funnest car is hands down my 95 Z28.
Had the motor turned into a stroker and had a super charger on it. Centrifugal. It had 3 inch pipes on the back and a kevlar dual friction clutch. Had it to 165 twice but it starts flying at 150... Not a good idea. It would turn the quarter in drag radials at 11.8. My next funnest was the 79 smokey and the bandit TA. Never had a bad car.

[BwdLion73]

Now that I think about it it would have to be my first car that I bought. A 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, 440 Magnum 9 and 3/4 rear end with a Auto Transmission. I saved and saved and payed 1,250 Bucks for that thing. Man I wish I had it now!

:thinking:

[bullfrog_alumni_02]

Infiniti G35. by far the best car I have ever owned and driven. Alas the sweet romance had to end with my fire engine red mistress in hawaii as the credit union who financed me buying the thing wouldnt let me ship it off the island when i got out of the army...friggin' dill weeds!

[Antec]

My first car was a two do0r greeen Nova 6 cyliner- in the mid 70s drove the hec k out of it

Also had a army green Ford Granada which was a gas guzzler.


Alsohad a old tiny red Prism in the 80s

Pontiac Sunbird

Driving a 2004 Honda Accord now has 80,000 miles now

and couple of others over the past 35 years

[slingshot]

Enjoyed the most? Thats a tough question. My street legal '93 Mustang Coupe with a turbocharged 331 stroker that runs high 9's @ 140 mph in the quarter is a blast but is kind of a handful ;) , any of the 5 '60-69 Corvettes I've had were fun, had a couple of Porsches ('88 928 & '99 911), various Lexuses (Lexi?), etc. Probably the most fun though was a bright metallic blue WS6 TA 6.6 4 speed '78 Trans Am I got when I started to college. I worked 70-80 hours a week all summer driving a truck for my Dad so I could afford to put headers/exhaust, 255/60 Goodyears and a killer (for the day) stereo in it.... damn I loved that car! It was loud, fast and turned heads wherever it went. I can't even begin to remember how many street races I got into with that car--won about 95%.... alas that was it's undoing--after the second "Drag Racing" ticket--Dad said "Sell". Still miss that car :( ...

Worst? That's easy--New '84 Chevy pickup I had once. It literally spent more time in the shop than it did on the road and it ran like a turd. Hated that truck. Sold it when it was less than a year old.

[IHStangFan]

Funnest: toss up between a 1976 Triumph TR6 and 1983 RX7

Favorite truck: 2004 Nissan Titan 4x4. Never driven a better built truck.

Worst POS: both Dodge pickups (wife's and company truck, I'd never spend hard earned money on a Dodge)

Best buy: 1994 BMW 318iS for $3000.00 Still in good shape, runs great, gets 30+mpg. It's now my daily driver.

[Highschoolfan78]

my most enjoyable is "Red Thunder" my red 94 ford f150. It is my most enjoyable because it's the only vehicle I have ever known. That will change soon I think, but it still runs great for almost 200,000 miles on it. I know it has been through alot with me and the previous owner. Our departure will be pretty hard after 8 years of my ownership.

[lepfan]

Most enjoyable would have to be the 05 Honda Accord Coupe...zippy little 2 door car with all the power we have ever needed. I actually bought it new for my daughter...but she did not turn 15 for a year and a half after so I got to drive it for that time. Most dependable would have to be the 01 SuperCrew I am driving now...been driving it 7 years and have towed, pulled, and hauled more stuff with this pick up and it never choked...people have looked at us and asked "you gonna haul that with that pick up?" LOL. My husband told me the other day we might want to get car shopping on our mind....just not sure I am ready yet.

buff4life has the sweetest ride

My 2cd ride(well not really but same model/color) - horrible on gas

[wyliegrad04]

my first car ... 1985 Jeep Wagoneer Limited. Dad bought it from a Dyess airman for $500. Engine was sitting in the back ... got the motor rebuilt, installed, and it ran great ... painted it yellow and called it the bleeding banana because of the red, leather interior .. dad finally sold it after the drive shaft FELL OUT while i was going around the loop here in Abilene

best car ... my current car, a 2008 Ford Taurus. Hated the old body style, love the new ones ... metallic green, beige leather interior, sync ... love it

[big daddy russ]

Best Car-- 1990 GMC Suburban

Worst Car-- 1998 Chevy S-10

[Trashman]

Funnest Car: 1973 Firebird Formula 400 went from 0-160 mph one time. Man could that car fly. Had a 4 bbl carb and could burn a quarter tank of gas from one end of town to the other (about 3 miles). Loved that car.:inlove:

Worst Car: Tie between an 1985 chevy Blazer and a 1989 Ford Areostar van. Bazer had two rear engine seals replaced in a year and the Areostar had the tranny rebuild 5 times in two years.:mad: :mad: :mad:

Great car and even better engine. Those 440 magnums were bad to the bone right out of the factory.
I had one that could stay with em though, but I had to modify it a bit. I had a 64 Galaxy 500XL with Tbird 390 that I rebuilt with a big holly 4 barrell double pumper and a 3/4 race cam, and some nice hooker headers with smooth long curves, and some nice cherry bombs that toned down the rumble just a little. I could put my cheater slicks on that baby and peel up chunks of asphalt. Oh yeah, it also had the smoothest shifting 4 in the floor I have ever shifted. Man was that a nice ride, till I blew it up running about 150 on hwy 70 one day. I let it set for about 10 years after that, then finally sold it to a guy that wanted it bad and wouldnt leave me alone. Got a nice peice of change for it, but I still wish I still had it. Couldnt afford to drive it nowdays though with these gas prices. :(

[mustang04]

Funnest - a K5 Cheyenne 1975 Chevy Blazer....was a freakin TANK!!!!! i loved that thing...it was a blast driving that thing

BEST - my current pickup, 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 v8, 2-door.... it gets up and goes like a Hemi...i think someone souped it up before i got it
