My favorite car I ever owned is a tie between my '92 Mazda MX5 Miata and my former '84 Jeep CJ.

The Miata: I auto crossed it, bracket raced it, showed it, put ski racks on the removable hard top, snow chains on the rear tires and drove it to various ski areas in Washington, California and Nevada, and never had a single problem with it until the day I sold it... the turn signal relay went bad.

The Jeep: Took me on adventures all over Washington, Oregon and California. I carried snow chains for 10-years and never had to use them. It only left me stranded once due to an bearing failure on the rear output shaft of a freshly rebuilt Dana 300 transfer case (I still drove it another 50-miles on the front drive shaft after removing the rear, I would have kept going but I was worried I'd completely destroy the T-case).

My favorite so far that I've worked on and drove is a 2001 Dodge Viper. If you are not ready these will drive you. I work at a Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership

No pics of cars but in my youth my 70 Mercury Cyclone 429 & in later years my 2002 Z06 Corvette. Cyclone long gone but my son took over Corvette years ago & has maintained it as new.

My favorite car was a 1977 Mustang II Mach 1 that I stuck a built 1969 351 Windsor 4V into with a 4 speed. It would literally lift the front wheels off the ground for as long as I dared. Ran straight-piped duals that exited out in front of each rear wheel. Sounded like Hell had opened up, handled worse than a 60's Caddy, but I would slow for corners and nail it on the straightaways. Made quite a healthy chunk of change on the weekends in that thing. What a fun, dangerous, crude toy that was.

The nicest car I've been in was a bentley. It might have been a continental but it was one of the bulky 4 doors. But it had 550HP and a 1000lbs of torque and floor matts made of lamb
