What's the best/most favourite car you ever owned?

Mine is my 18 year old Peugeot 205 GTI - it is Miami Blue. I have had it from new and I will never ever sell it!

I also loved my Morris Minor customised van which I owned in the 80's!

None of them.

I am hoping to buy a brand new car this summer!

The car I have now, my red Mini Cooper S. It may be second hand, and one day I would like a brand spanking new one, but this will suffice. I am very, very happy with it.

Oh, I could have hubb take a picture of me with my Mini, and then post it as my avatar.

Well, I liked "Pickles in New Hapmshire" pretty well, which is how I remember liscenses plates, in this case PNH and an number..my hubby gave it to the Powell Valley Baptist church to some kids they were sponsoring and they drove it to New York and seminary school there, or so I was told. My son an I went in half for an new Chevy hatchback..I liked it also, and told him by the time he could actually drive that most likely he'd had paid his part of what it was worth and I'd just give it over to him...he put in an "thumper" raido system the likes of which I've never heard such music since..excellent sound...that car got wrecked when some young girl was wavying to her future in-laws and pulled out in front of me, she was in an high-rise four wheel truck....my car got totalled, so then we bought an Mustang, to give my son from the money, payment back for the chevy and when he got married his wife took off to go help her sister get somewhere and ran an red light and totaled it. so then we had an dodge "Shelby" again collector car, lwo to teh ground, it hit an mud muddle unexpectedly and hwo went the engine, we fixed it, but it evneually got an gas leak and blew up in our dirveway..it still sets out backwith an 2,000 plus dollar engine in it, and the rear end out of it.They bought an car liek his scout friend had. But as for my hubby we had an car parked otu in front ofour house and late at night someone smacked into it an pushed it up half way across our yard..when they finally fessed up "an nieghbor boy"..he sai dhe'd just goten an new GPS and was driving according to watching it instead of in front of him...they totallled out that car also, because of it's age mostly. My hubby takes our car (model and make now obsolete according to General Motors)...becaue it gets better gas mileage and leaves me an older Dodge Ram pickup to drive, though it has upteen miles on it now, we ususally "rent" an car for most trips these days. it was something I was trying to save money for before the heart oepration, and have never been able to since. We could really use another car right now, but it won't be for an long time most likely...I'm wating to see what they come out with for better gas mileage in ways also. We have naturally lost money through all the exchange of cars, because insurance never gives the market worth of something. To me, cars have been an bad investment since the SUV's with thier rediculous prices came out to begin with.I see they finally came out with an car that thinks for you and will"brake" automatically even if you don't ...in order to prevent rear end collsions now. Thing of it is they are tohigh priced..that' sth emain readon why they tanked...inorder ot keep making money there has to be an big turn over, inpossible when they exceed over $10,000. People don't want an glorified pregnant looking bicycle looking thing to drive. .our older car right now for being full sized gets the same gas per miles as most the new and smaller hybrids...and does so for $20,000 less in purchase pricing. Unless you own your own business to deduct the costs of such, it's impossible to afford one...also another reason of our economic tanking in ways...society an "future" goes with someone or yourself having an business to deduct the costs of ownership. The over-pricing is finally catching up these days. I mentioned it long ago, but greediness looked over an beyond me in denying it. If you want high turn over, it's got to be adequately built and easily affordable. Right now cars of the future, are so expenisve the average family could never afford on of them. Your out of most people's price bracket when you get over $20,000. They want to sell them like"hot cakes" of the 50's where everyone bought an new car every other year, they have to be below the $10,000 mark. accordignot an econmist, no morethen 1/4 of yoru pay check per month should go out to car and car expenses...at $3,000 an month, that's abotu an $15,000 car every other year bought and paid for..providing there's little mainitence to it. At the going of rate of $10 an hour for an 40 hour week that's about $1,600 an month in wages..before taxes..and it takes twice the time to pay off such an car for $15,000. There's your reality check. Two people working, earning $10 an hour, you can do it in half the time. See why the "bail-outs" for the car industry aren't going to work, they might pay off their debts, but they still won't sell the cars. People can't afford them. Same thing for our ultilies these days as well..only there you have nothing tanigble to re-sell and get what money you have put into it to begin with. Price hikes are like standing at the door and throwing money out of it..as to looking at them in the sense of  cusomer service. I wonder how they would fair if their customers charged them for the right to enjoy customer business?..instead of vice versa.In the meantime they make monoplies in pricing..so no matter which way you go it's "fixed" prices. Naturally they have problems,our wages they "fixed" in giving out also, and its not comparable to market demands of liviabilty...just ask the Senior citzens on Social-Security...also wage "fixed" more or less. There are times when in dealing with it all I feel like the "sacrifical"lamb for society's ills. Definately ignored an unpopular....but it's all coming home to"roost"now.    

My 1979 Ford Pinto, 4 on the floor! It was blue! That was all that mattered back then. Didn't have air conditioning or anything automatic. Needed muscle to drive that thing. Had it for 11 years. Would have kept it longer except Craig was afraid to ride in it!!

I loved that car and thought I was something hot in it too!!!  LOL  

I have a few favourites I think over so many years-----

Triumph Spitfire MK II;  MGB, 3000E Ford Capri; and my current VW Bora ( US Jetta) MK IV 1.8 Turbo.

For charm alone, my 1939 Austin 10 Cambridge which, Rick, has covered 21,000 miles so far.

1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Convertible:  426 C.I. (7.0 liters) HEMI, 740 HP, roller cam and supercharger, 4-speed with Hurst V-gate shifter, nitrous kit, all the goodies.

That car got me in more trouble...
