What was the best car you owned?

[iamwhatiseem]

... well, what was it.

For me it is a toss up between the 1970 GT Torino convertible... looked pretty much just like this, it didn't have the paint line on the side.

Or the 82 Mustang GT...mine looked identical to this one...

I owned the 70 Torino would have been 1989-92 I think, it was a super head turner. I couldn't go anywhere without someone saying something about it.
So prolly my ego that made it one of my favs to be honest.

The GT Mustang was just flat out fun to drive. 5 speed manual. Absolutely blew the doors off of any stock Trans Am, Camaro etc. Wasn't even close.

96 Grand Cherokee. Basic maintenance and ran me 338K before tyranny started acting up. Towed a lot with it and didn't have factory tow package.

Replaced with 2011 5.7 Hemi Grand Cherokee full tow package, trail rated and so far is as reliable as my old Jeep.

Now has 150K on it and wayyyy more power than my old one.

I had junk when I was younger, and couldn't afford what I wanted.

/—-/ A junk yard on Long Island has an old Vett on display.

Matchbox or maybe Hot Wheels. Its a toss up!

1965 Dodge Coronet convertible with the mighty and majestic 440 V-8.

My most fun car was a 70 Chevelle Malibu. My best quality car has been 2005 Lexus RX330. We are at 200K miles and that car still looks good and the engine doesn't burn oil and runs great.

The one I have now....'05 Subaru Legacy wagon....AWD eats up the snow, goes like a bat out of hell on the interstate, can almost carry more than I would want to stuff in it..

I had a 41 chevy 1 ton pickup, straight 6 and crash box 4 speed. Got almost 30 years out of it. Then there is the 57 Ford Ranchero with the big engine. And my 2001 F450 that California made me junk cause it was a diesel engine they did not like.

My pops brought me home a 1965 baby blue mustang on valentines day shortly after I started driving. I loved her. She needed a lot of work but wow was she worth it.

I am jealous.
My parents got me a used '74 Mustang 2. You know, the Pinto version with a Mustang body.
Looked cool, till you stepped on the gas and realized you had nothing.

I dunno if there is a 'best' car I've owned. If I think about purely from a driving experience perspective, compounded by the fact that I'm biased as to where and how I choose to drive, it'd be my old Corvette.

If I have to go to the city, my old Mercedez 560 SEC.

For the demolition derby a the Fair, I like my old Pinto. A '71 I think it was.

There was also a reason I liked my old three speed Duster with the 318 in it, but I forget why. Whatever the reason I drove them, it was surely the best car for the drive at the time.

The best cars I ever had weren't cars but trucks. The first was a 1972 Ford F100, 360 V8, three on the tree similar to this one.

Much later I had a 1998 Ford F150, 300 inline, three on the tree similar to this one.

Both road like sedans with that old, awesome Ford truck suspension.

 

[OnePercenter]

2016 Tesla Model S

/——-/ Nope. It’s a real Vett.

It got terrible mileage, but the commute was a lot shorter.

On the down side, you really couldn't hear the radio, not even with earbuds.

I have had two Ford trucks myself, I think the first one was an 81 F-150..the end one was a 2002.

Now what I have is this:

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with around 45,000 original miles on it.......... It was my dad's, he rarely drove it.
