Default Bestest most favorite truck/car/suv you've ever owned

My 2000 S10 ZR2 4x4 is my most favorite vehicle that I've ever owned and still own. Not only does it look great but it was a great 4x4 right out of the box from the factory. I've done a few modifications to it to improve what it already did well.



My second favorite was my 1970 Camaro Z28. It came from the factory with a 350 ci LT1 small block engine (same engine they put in the 'vette) that was rated at 370 hp. It was pretty quick. Unfortunately, I no longer own it.



All the other vehicles I've owned were strictly transportation to get from A to B. The above vehicles are/were fun to drive. Definitely not just a means of transportation.

I love/loved these vehicles!

95 Toyota Camry. Awesome vehicle. V6 power, ran like a top. Should never have traded it in.

By far the car I am driving now - an 2003 Audi A4 with 1.8 Litre turbo engine. It is very sporty for a four door vehicle, and drives better than an SUV in the winter time.

I have only ever owned three vehicles:

1999.5 Jetta - 2.0L, 5 spd Manual - Rare "futura yellow" colour from the factory.
2007 Kia Magentis
2008 Kia Rondo

The Jetta was my favourite of the three. Fun little car. Sold it to a family friend after I bought the Magentis. Now, it's no more. RIP.

2005 BMW M3, we added twin turbos to it, but that thing was so much fun to drive. Unfortunately, I can't afford to insure it anymore, so it's just sitting there until I get myself a proper job.

It sounds stupid, but our 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan is amazing. With two small kids its all about function for us and the minivan cannot be beat. Tons of room, even when all the seats are up, stow 'n' go when you need to transport something bigger, DVD entertainment system for the longer trips. By far the best bang for your buck as far as a vehicle I have owned goes.

Loved that thing, but it sure had its problems. I guess that is what you get when you buy a 14 year old (at the time) vehicle

My first car was an 89' Mustang GT with 273,000km.. Still ran strong although used a bit of oil.. My next car was a 96' Firebird WS6, this was a rare car, 1 of 524. Of my engine/transmission and color combination it was 1 of 16. My favorite has to be my GMC diesel truck that I currently own. 600 hp with the programmer turned up all the way, faster than my mustang off the line and would walk down my firebird on the highway. Seats 5 comfortably and I can drive it all year round.

1985 Skoda 120 GLS - Orange

Looked pretty much like this one except mine had purple interior:

As for comfort, I would take my current 1998 Land Rover Discovery over anything else I ever owned.

1998 Volvo Wagon...doesn't sound like much but it has a five speed and a high-pressure turbo so the dirty b******d is pretty quick (<8 sec 0-60). Comfortable, safe and reliable. Going to miss it when I sell it next year for sure.

I've got a 2006 Volvo XC 70 (bought it earlier this year), and I love it. Lots of power, very comfortable interior, great trunk setup, and extremely solid-feeling vehicle.

1969 Dodge Dart 340 (lent it to a buddy and he wrecked it while street racing a AMC Javelin)
1970 Chevy Vega (had dreams of dropping a 350 ci motor into it...very popular thing to do back in the '70s)
1970 Dodge Challenger
1970 Camaro Z28
1980 Mercury Cougar
1987 Hyundai Pony (crappy little car... bought it a second vehicle for my wife)

My husband and I drove these custom 'Stangs in the late 60's. Fun rides.
