My all-time favorite was a 1962 2 door Pontiac Grand Prix I had back in '69 (yeah, I'm getting old), original first year of the GP with syncronized 4 speed, 389 tri-power, tach on the floor console,bucket seats, 8 bolt rims. Wish I had that car today.

Here's my favorite today, because I have it now, and plan on keeping it indefinately.

Re: Whats Your Favorite Car

i had a friend w/ a Dodge Dart and he really liked it too.....you're not the only one.....must be something about the car, but it was really hard for him to get rid of it when i finally died.

Re: Whats Your Favorite Car

my favorite car? but only cars i have owned... my choices are very limited, i guess i will go with my 96 cav as its the only car i have ever owned.

its a good lil car, i drive it on the hard side.

it happens to be a red 2 door, and ppl have told me that the police look out for red 2 doors but for some reason i was only pulled over once in a town where all you ever hear is how bad the cops are and he let me off with a verbal warning.

so maybe its lucky? i donno but i still like it.

Re: Whats Your Favorite Car

90 Talon TSi FWD. First "real" car I owned. Loved it and would probably still be driving it if a line to the oil cooler hadn't broke. Before I knew it, it had seized a balance shaft causing the timing belt to break destroying the entire valve train. Sold it for about $700.

Took that $700 plus a few dollars more and upgraded to a 92 TSi AWD with a recently rebuilt transmission (timing belt when out on that one too) but a transmission that ate itself. Another $450 later and and a nice little riceburner. Unfortunately that too was sold and "upgraded" to a 98 Montana minivan.

Re: Whats Your Favorite Car

Hey, I learned how to drive on a Subaru Chaser 4WD on the fly. (Canada's version of the Justy I believe) Then one day when my parents were out I took it upon myself to race it up and down a gravel road near our house. Each pass back and forth yielded faster times. Being 14 at the time I had not so much common sense, and kept on pushing for more speed. I ended up hitting 90 kms/hr before I looked up from the speedometer. Wayyyyyy too fast for the corner.......I tried to make the turn to no avail, and slid sideways into some railroad ties (the beams they use under the rails) My drivers door wouldn't open, so I hopped out the pass side and had a look at the damage. Both wheels on the drivers side were folded under the car like the Delorian on Back to the future! Dad was on a business trip and my mom made me donate the 1000 dollars I had been saving forever towards the repairs. Surprisingly the car ran like normal after the suspention had been replaced.

About two years later I took it upon myself to teach a cute girl my age how to drive standard. What a mistake.....she ended up trying to go around a really sharp corner freaking out because the brakes wouldn't work (she was pressing the clutch in) and smashed the drivers corner into a tree. Well out came more money from my bank account to cover this, mind you her parents thankfully came up with half. And the car ran great.

My family took this as a sign to sell the car before something else happened to it, and every once in a while back in my home town when I'm visiting my parents, I'll see that same Subaru running around. You just couldn't kill that thing!

Favorite car? 76 Triumph Spitfire a.k.a. go cart and of course #1 is my 95 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD with 98 Eclipse conversion

Re: Whats Your Favorite Car

I'd have to say that it would be a toss up between my 01 Eclipse GT and my 97 3000GT. Well until I get my STI which will be in about a year and a half when I turn 25 (insurance purposes)
