What cars have you had that were your favorites? Post pictures!

I can't find any photos but I've had a bunch of used BMW's. One that sticks out was a 95 M3 with some mods. Pulled redline in top gear, handled sweet.
Have also had a bunch of mustangs, including a 94 Cobra convertible indy pace car but the gt350 was an outstanding performer.
My favorite prior rides was an 11 911 turbo S. That was one sweet ride. Now days, it's all trucks and suv's and I do love my Raptor.

1 of many

89 Foxbody GT, bought it just to drive. That didn't last long until i tore it completely apart and replaced most everything. Ended up being a garage queen cause i was afraid to drive it anywhere, it gave me anxiety someone might possibly scratch it.

I’m guessing I’ve owned/leased right around 20 cars. Nothing real exotic, but everything from Expeditions, Silverados, Charger hemis to a Prius (I know). My favorite of the lot might be the 06 GX I bought a few months back.

‘73 Z-28 was my favorite. Traded it in to buy a ‘79 Vette. Big mistake on my part. View attachment 1184200 View attachment 1184201
Can do you one worse. My Dad had a 73 also. Was a lite green with flake that got sold to buy a 1975 Toyota Station Wagon.
It was silver with black vinyl interior. It could hold two kids worth of shit better than the split bumper :(

2000 Chevrolet Camaro SS. It was fun until I blew the original motor. Replaced that with one out of an Alabama Highway Patrol car, that we swapped the heads and cam on. Then it was REALLY fun to drive! That car put down over 450hp and was an absolute blast! I sold it when my second son was born, to move out of an apartment and into a house. The rest is history. Sorry, no pics.

I have had well over 100 cars, always buying and selling.
I just sold the 66 Corvette 427 and the Ferrari so I could buy the Ferrari F12.

My 87 Monte Carlo AeroCoupe SS. Won many shows at Super Chevy in Pomona and was actually int he magazine a few times. Had an amazing stereo system for the 80's and competed in Sound Quake Competitions at the Old Devonshire Downs and at the Ventura County Fairgrounds

My other favorite was my old 2006 GTO. Nice handling and riding sleeper. Most people thought it was a Chevy Cavalier.

I had an 2006 GTO as well!

Not much of a looker but it could move. Mine had the 4 speed automatic. It had headers, intake, and straight piped.

Thing was louder than most boats on Havasu 😂

Here's mine - Audio was garbage on iphones 10+ years ago but you get the idea

Favorite is impossible. Each car had a purpose matching with stages of life.

Coolest, most valuable, most sentimental, most practical, ect can be done but favorite - impossible.

Picking a favorite kid would be easier.

The 05-06 GTO's were pretty bad ass with the 6.0 and major suspension upgrades over the 5.7 04's. I wanted one so bad when they were new, one of my brothers bought one that turned in a total sleeper, 402, solid diff, Pedders catalogue thrown at it, solid DS, enormous cam, it now has an even more impressive 422 LSx but broken transmission again. My brother still regrets not going straight to a TH 400 and 9".

I had a weird obsession with emissions legal GM stuff when I graduated HS and wound up with a 87 IROC in the early 90's that I spent way to much time and money figuring out to make them respectably quick. I rebuilt that friggin car, Paint, wearable interior items, undercarriage & suspension , engine, transmission, rear diff.. and it ran pretty good for what it was.

If you think you know GM Electronic Fuel Injection trivia, name this intake!


The 1st Ex, my brothers wife and his daughters were obviously vying for attention.

I never had any cool cars. All mine were, and have been POS’s that got me from point a to b and only broke down most of the time.

Though I have to say my most recent is a fav simply because it finally looks decent, drives well and everything works and it hasn’t stranded me yet.

The C6Z was my “no matter what I will own one” dream car. It definitely takes the cake for favorite.

The 04 GTO was the first car I ever bought, it deserves a honorary mention for the memories that were made being young a dumb.

I miss my 68 F250 and I had a 91 Foxbody notch back with a 302 out of an Explorer, I put an E303 cam warmed over GT40P heads and GT40 upper and lower, it was an auto when I bought it and converted it to a World Class T5, since it was an auto it had a 3.27 gear.

Don't have any pics because it had been awhile, but one of my favorites was my Natural Gas Honda Civic. I don't know why, but the car was just cool. It was a rare black one that I limo tinted around. I used to wax the shit out of it and detailed it all the time, so it always looked fresh. It was rad to roll past peeps on the 91 in the carpool lane by myself too 😎😎

Traded in for our 2017 Fusion with almost 300k trouble free miles on it.

I have owned well over 60 cars etc. I always regret it somewhere in my 2007 BMW 530 I. The best sedan I ever owned. Last year of the non-turbo, six cylinders ran like a sewing machine.
There’s still around out there used with about 100,000 miles on them if you can find want to grab them especially with the premium package. Cheap.

My wife to the line in the sand. You’re up to your limit for right now, keep the BMW and don’t get the Lamborghini make your choice Mr.

So….

My first car, 70 Camaro. Bought it in 1995. It went through many changes from my high school daily driver, to what you see here. I built the car, engine, trans, rear end, and even did a lot of the paint work. It was the October cover car and was car of the year in 2008. I sold it 2015, along with some other toys, to buy the 5 acres that we now live on. I also owned a few 1987 Buick Grand Nationals that were totally rad. I wouldn’t mind a regal to build a hot rod GN clone.
