The 4200 Coupe. The car is just simply stunnig- firstly the n/a V8 is simply a dream when it comes to ease of operation, the performance is outstanding- the handling isn't exactly as good as a Ferrar- but then again the car is so much cheaper than a Ferrari. The reliability is good now that Ferrari have stepped in and maintenece costs are rather expensive- but if you can afford the sticker price- you can afford the maintenece

[Supra650RSP]

1967 Shelby Cobra Mustang - GT500
1970 Chevy Corvette - with the 454
1986 Chevy Corvette
1988 Mustang LX - with a 200 shot of NOS
1991 Nissan 300ZXTT - modified to 400rwhp
1997 Toyota Supra - Single Turbo (my personal car now)
1998 Toyota SupraTT - automatic but a lot of fun still
1999 Honda Civic Si - Turbocharged (my brothers car)
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T - slightly modified (my girlfriends car)

Coming Soon
1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR - My next project car

My favorite so far is the Supra I drive now.
The car that is the most fun, has to be my brothers Turbo'd Civic Si. I don't know why but I get goofy and giddy in that car.
Scariest car was the 1970 Corvette. The bastard had solid lifters and a whole lot of other things that my mom never told me about (It was her car in college that she kept for a very long time...she used to drag race in high school and still does some today in my brothers Civic.) I drove this car once and it scared me soo much I never got in it again.
Biggest dissapointment - probably the 1986 Corvette. It sounded good but anything could take it.

Least favorite of all these and I keep trying to erase the memories: The '90 Geo Prism and '92 Chevy Corsica

Kat, It looks like you have used to many braincells in remembering all those years and cars. I suggest beer to remove a few of them

[zackiedawg]

Driven waaaay too many to go through...but here's the basic highlights:

All Personal cars ever owned in the family which I drove:

1966 1/2 Mustang Pony Edition
1977 Toyota Corolla
1977 Peugeot 504 Diesel
1977 Porsche 911 Turbo
1983 Cadillac Seville
1984 Alfa Romeo GTV4
1985 Honda Prelude GT
1985 Dodge Omni
1986 Saab 9000 Turbo
1987 Volvo 760 Turbo
1987 Hyundai Excel GL
1989 Toyota Supra Turbo
1990 Mitsubishi Montero LS
1993 Volvo 850GT
1994 Mitsubishi Montero SR
1996 Mercedes E320
1996 Mitsubishi Montero SR
1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
1997 Porsche Boxster
1998 Ford Expedition
2000 Volkswagen Passat GLX
2002 Corvette Convertible
2002 Acura MDX
2002 Mercedes CLK430
2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 Variant

Cars which I got to drive from friends or relatives or dealer contacts, for more than just around the block:

2003 Porsche 911 Turbo
2003-4 Porsche Cayenne S
2002 Ferrari 360 Modena
2001? Lamborghini Diablo VT
1996 Hummer Diesel Wagon
1992 Buick/Reynard Indy Light V.P.M. Sponsored car

Anything else was just many hundreds of other sedans, coupes, trucks, SUVs, and other assorted models. Nothing special. These are the only ones I would consider highlights.

As far as the owned cars, the Peugeot 504 wins the durability title with over 230,000 miles and still running (Honorable mention to the Toyota Corolla, which was given away to a charity in 1996 with 190,000 miles and still running).

The best and most favorite would be my 1990 Montero LS, which went through 23 states and 3 countries with me, spent 35% of its life off-road (serious 4x4 terrain, not dirt roads), and never gave me a single problem in 5 years and 130,000 miles - and my current W8 Variant, which is just a wonderful all-around car which satisfies so many different things all in one package (fast, sporty, safe, roomy, AWD, cargo capability, luxury, content and features, fun to drive).

The worst would be the Cadillac Seville which spent every other week in the shop, and the Dodge Omni which was so unreliable we were scared to take it out of town. The Alfa Romeo had almost as many mechanical problems as the Seville, but it just looked so damn good when it ran that I forgave many of the problems (the good looking women always get away with more)!
