Ive driven nothing exotic but a few interesting older cars.

1949 MG TC
1955 MG TF

those would be the most valuable ive driven but the car I most enjoyed driving would have to be

1971 MG Midget in a gymkhana, most fun ive had in my whole life (yes I know that sounds really sad)

Best for me would be my dads 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT....absolutely amazing. I'm always get adreniline rushing and goose bumps everytime I get to drive it. Can't imagine what the new ones are like. On the totally different side of the car world I got to drive my friends dads 69 Dodge Super Bee with a 440 in it....ya it had good acceleration.

The coolest car I´ve drived is my friends Peugeot 406 coupe. Its a true Sports coupe with a V6 engine and about 200HP and some luxury apointments too. By price it certainly wouldn´t compit with an Accord Coupe or Toyota Solara, but yes in Europe it does with the BMW 3 series coupe and Mercedes CLK. And one of my luxurious and comfort+ rides I´ve had is on my aunt´s 1998 MB E430. For the ones that haven´t seen the Peugeot here´s some pics of it.

Hmm, well this is pretty simple for me, i've only driven 2 sportscars. One was the 2000 Audi TTs and the other (And the most fun) was a 911 TT (not sure what year, I think a 98) on BBSs, 16psi boost, numerous internal mods, no bodymods.
I'd like to add a Skyline to the list someday, perhaps I'll even own one of these beasts!

Peugeot is a generalistic brand compiting specially with Ford, VW, Citroen. You can find from a $8000 (or less?) 106 3door hatchback and going to the top you´ll find the significantly more expensive 406 coupe and 607. They´re now launching pretty nice, safe and more reliable cars for reasonable pricing.

Well..

I used to work for a cellphone install place a loooooong time ago (late 80's, I'm aging myself here hehe) so I got to drive lots of nice cars actually. The place was in New Orleans and they guy that owns Popeye's (fast food franchise) lived there. He had Porsches, Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Rolls, etc as well as the usual Mercedes and BMW's coming in.

You don't get to really drive them more so then just pull them in and out of the bays and into the parking lot.

Was fun nonetheless.

I drive a WRX daily and a Honda RC51 (VRT1000SP1 motorcycle) not that either of those are especially exotic.
