What is your favorite car you have owned?

Recommended Posts

I’m not a car guy at all. Loved my 1992 Ford Bronco. It got killed when another drunk 1992 Bronco hit it in front of my house. Totaled. That’s another story for another day.

1995 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer editon. Green with tan lower trim and tan leather interior and a manual sunroof. 

My favorite for many reasons. Classic SUV body style before everything started trending toward crossovers... also the thing was a TANK with metal bumpers and great towing capability (yes I towed a fresh water fishing boat). But most importantly it was my Grandfather's car before he passed when I was 16. I still have the license plate hung up... it starts with ACE, which was not a requested vanity plate or anything.

My first car.  1989 Ford Mustang 5 speed manual.   Couldn't afford the insurance for the 5.0 liter, but still loved that car.   racked up over 100K miles on it,  Never changed a belt or a hose.  Ever.  Only issue it had was the distributor cap seal would go bad over time.   If you didn't replace it as soon as the car struggled to start, you'd eventually be driving a Nova

WTF do you have against Novas, man? My second favorite car was my '75 Nova hatchback. Had so much fun in that thing with the backseat down...

Favorite was my 95 Jeep Wrangler 4.0 I6. Put over 180k on it and regularly took it on cross country trips that would include off roading. No cruise, no AC, soft top, manual everything. It still runs, I sold it to my aunt who basically uses it as a glorified side by side on her farm in Iowa. Probably has about 240k on it by now. My uncle ordered it from the factory, my grandmother picked the color. Had to keep it in the family.

The MKZs are sleepers. Awd 3.0T is 400hp 400 ft/lb torque. Not the fastest car in the world, but much faster than a luxury sedan looks. Same chassis as a fusion

That’s funny as you had no problem getting in the back seat to make the baby. :wave:

See, what I did there was...when Chevy named the Nova, they didn't realize it kinda meant "no go"   When spelled No Va.  Way over your liberal wackadoodle head I guess.

I think my Audi S4.  That thing drove like it was on rails and was deceptively fast.  I got pulled over once going 100, cop was pissed, I was honest and told him I just got the car and didn't realize how fast it was.  He gave me a ticket for improper passing.

Oh my Nova went, you fothermucker. I creamed a couple of Mustangs racing with it, probably because only pvssies drove pony cars. Screw you and everybody else with anything bad to say about the mighty Chevrolet Nova!

 

Caveat: back then all those cars were gutless wonders, with V8's that didn't come close 200 hp. We just thought they were fast and powerful since we were young and dumb. And I use the term racing in a very loose sense. I doubt it or any of the people I raced ever broke 85 mph or hit 60 in under 9 seconds. The truck I drive now would completely blow the doors off of all those 70s cars. But you're still a pvssy, mustang boy.

 I had a choice between a pos :77>Grand Torino or a better 77 Delta 88. Went with the Oldsmobile and loved it. Black with red (turned pink as it faded) interior. Great car at the time. I had a lot of good memories in that ride.
