Your Favorite Car?

At 36 I have had a few cars. And in hindsight would like to have some of them back. Who knew that a fiberglass hood for a superbee would be worth twice what I got out of the car? Oh well, So what was your favorite car?

Mine was a 72 Nova SS, 350 550horsepower, super t-10 4 speed, and 4:56 gears. turned 11.32 in the quarter mile, and drove it everyday. Thats my favorite car.
I also had a
73 Charger RT 440 magnum
68 Superbee 383 magnum
68 Chevelle small block 400
76 Vega 350 4 speed
69 Roadrunner 383
69 Charger 440 Police Interceptor

BTW, I'm a mechanic by trade, so gear head is in my blood.

'72 Olds Cutlass Supreme w/245 60 ZR 16 all the way around, 12" Power dics from a Corvette. Olds 350 Rocket w/milled heads 2.02 intake 1.96 exhaust, Edel Brock low rise Performer and a 1040 single pumper, add on a high flow filter, custom Headers and no emmisions custom exhaust that kicks out after the rear tires. Paint her blue with a Black Vinyl top and you got me drooling. Next to that I would love to have the Porche from Bad Boys an 911 Carrera with 3.0l twin turbo 425hp gotta say its the most beautiful car I have ever seen. For the Props an E30 BMW with a 3.0l M3 motor. Like this one http://www.bmwe30.net/cgi-bin/youre3...view_records=1 then to see more about her look at the car registry.

My favorite is any Corvette.

I've had Elcamino's. Camaro's, Mazda's, Toyota's and more...but I'm a diehard Corvette freak.

My favorite was my '73 Vette......454, 4 spd. Really a crude car by today's standards. A very fast car, and a decent handler, but rough riding , and noisy. Love that body style in a Vette. Still wish I had it.

My current ride is an '82 Supra. Obviously not as fast as the Vette was, but it's a lot more civilized. Handles well, and is a great and usable daily driver. 20 years old, and it's still in near mint condition.
