Loved my 74' Datsun 260z (first car), fast little car that was fun to drive.
89' Nissan Pulsar-fun car to drive, loved it.
94 Cutlass-dependable grocery grabber
02 Windstar- Loved, loved, loved this van. It went everywhere in any weather. I cried when the transmission went out, got it fixed and traded it in for the single biggest POS ever.
07 Dodge Nitro- Hunk of ever loving shit. Liked it when I first bought it, but within a short amount of time, huge electrical issues. Never a good thing...but thank goodness the drunk driver totaled it. Effing hated that car with a passion.
98 Mazda MPV- Decided I was sick to death of paying a car payment. Paid $4K for it, one owner who took very good care of it, all the service records, interior is still perfect, the only downfall is it's a V6 so it doesn't have a lot of boogie to it, but completely dependable. I don't think I'll ever go back to a car payment...Ever.
First car, for a week, 86 Mustang. Piece of crap, hated it.
Second car, 77 Camaro, traded even for the Mustang. Great car, wish I still had it like Weazel does. If I found a deal on one I'd snatch it up. I built a 400 small block for it, did some suspension work and had a beast of a car that was a BLAST to drive.
Throughout High School myself and a friend of mine that now owns a business specializing in muscle cars purchased cars from Carlisle, fixed them up, drove them for a while, sold them for (hopefully) a profit. We actually did rather well, the following are cars we owned and drove regularly throughout that process.
70 Camaro, 72 Camaro Z28, 70 Lemans Sport (GTO clone), 74 Firebird Formula, 76 Trans Am, 73 Nova, 81 Trans Am, 76 Firebird
Had some great cars through all that. Wish we had been smart enough to keep some of them!
Anyhow, back to personal daily drivers.... 90 Toyota Celica GT (Well built, no character though), 97 Pontiac Sunfire GT, 88 Trans Am, 77 Corvette, 98 S-10 (AWESOME truck!!!! 290k miles, only replaced the coils, 28 mpg), 05 Ram 1500, 00 Honda Accord, 08 Cadillac SRX, 06 Mini Cooper S, 05 Dakota SLT 4x4, 66 Mustang.
I can't say "best" car. The only one I wouldn't buy again is the Celica. Not that it wasn't a good car, it ran well, no issues with it, I just didn't like it. There was no character to it, it was just a conveyance. Every other car or truck I've owned was perfect for what I wanted/needed at the time and I was pleased. I LOVED my muscle cars and it built a life long obsession in me.
This thread is worthless without pictures. I can picture most, but some not so much.
Is a camaro a cross between a sports car and a truck?
Ford Ranchero
