I'm liking my '04 Tacoma. Great truck and perfect for my needs. Double cab so lots of interior room, and a short box for all those things that I couldn't fit in a car.
Wish it was manual, on city streets it revs really high when going 50K (it jumps to the next gear at around 58 and I can't get it to stay there in anything below 55).
To be honest, I kind of prefer the feel of GM drivetrains on automatics, but as far as everything else (fit & finish, etc) the Tacoma is great.

of the 3 carsI have personally owned - 91 Sundance, 94 Cavalier RS and my 07 Fusion.
I would have to say my Cavalier, I loved the look of them when I was a kid and then when I got mine I babied that thing. 3.1L V6 in a small car + 5 speed = fun.

I had a '93 Toyota pick up, just before they actually started calling them the Tacoma. Loved that truck! Manual, V6, 4x4 extended cab and the thing just went. I sold it just after it hit 310, 000 kms and have regretted it every day since I have had to fold myself into a Crapolla!
One more year and I will buy a shiny new Tacoma with the 6 speed as well. Absolutely love these trucks....

My 96 Mustang GT. I had a few thousand in aftermarket parts in it and it could really move. Somedays I wish I didn't sell it.
After that my next favorite was my 2006 Vibe. It was extremely practical and great on gas.

Lives In Fear Of Labelling

My favorite was my first ....1971 Ford F-100 Sport Custom
It was the same color as the pic, but had no marker lights on the top, nice chrome wheels, a shiny coat of wax on it and a killer tape deck stereo.
And no one else could drive it cause no one knew how to drive 3 in the tree. My grandpa gave it to me when i was 11, my dad used it till i was 16 and I drove the hell out of it till I was 18 and i bought my '92 Mazda B2200 Shortbox (lowered with tubby tires).
Sold it to a old teacher of mine, last i heard he still drives it to school everyday.

My favorite car is the only car I have ever owned, a 2005 Honda Civic. Never drove a standard before but I will never drive an auto again. I spend bout 12 hours a week in it and put 270000+ kms on it and it runs like new.
Its not very fast, not the most comfortable, doesn't have the smoothest ride and its definalty not the best looking (just hubcaps still). Gots all I need with a/c and cruise and I plan on getting this thing to well over 500k.

"Bestest most favorite?"  x 10
I've owned several Toyotas and they'll all been gems. I love my new Rav4. It's certainly the most expensive vehicle I've owned. I do love my Honda Gold Wing motorcycle, but that doesn't quite qualify as a car, although it's about as big as those Smart cars.

1987 Dodge Power Ram 1/2 ton. Similar to this one:
My lift was not that high, and the tires were not that big.
Surprisingly good mileage with the 318. Could go anywhere I asked it to.

My favorite car I've owned was my first car, a '66 Mustang V8 car. Drove it throughout highschool. I still regret selling. However, my current car is neck and neck with the ol' Mustang though -
'03 GT, just rolled over 26,000 miles. Lowered, short throw shifter, FIPK intake, underdrive pulleys, Flowmaster stainless cat-back exhaust(Have an on-road xpipe on order.) 263 RWHP ... I'm shooing for 300 by the end of summer. Couple more pics -

Me too! I love my MINI. I didn't realize yours is a JCW. I see a grill badge..what does it say. I have 2 on the back. One says "Stop Staring at My Boot" and the other says "Push my Sport Button".
I went to the MINI unveiling of the new cabriolet..its an R56 body style rather than the R53...it happened at the East Bay MINI/BMW dealership..they also unveiled the new BMW Z4. For 10 bucks..you got tons of yummy food, a MINI (or BMW) wine glass and you got to go wine tasting (livermore wineries). The best part was starting at all those MINIS...i swear, I get way too excited when I see more than 2 MINIs in one lot..hehe. Yes, Im obsessed about my car. Call me crazy!
