Your favorite car!

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2006/12/13, 12:45 PM Ok, what was the bestest most favorite car you ever owned? (like that word, bestest? :)) I will start, have had alot of them, but probably my most favorite was 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger, 340 bored out, dual scoops on the hood, yellow, racing stripe around the trunk. Talk about a 'muscle car', this was a screamer! -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

If I hadn't gotten tired of playing McIver to keep it running I'd probably still have it. The last time the carbs needed balancing was on the interstate and I was wearing a dress white uniform. It got sold about an hour after putting the sign on it.

I usually have to drive our family dodge caravan around, so when I get my hands on the Acura, look out. He always looks nervous when I ask for his keys. Hey, my Dad was a fighter pilot, what can I say, speed is in my blood. My cousin let me drive his BMW X5, fastest car I've ever driven, it even has shift paddles on the stearing wheel. It's incredible how well this car handles speed!! If it wasn't for the price tag, I'd be driving one of those:)

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2006/12/13, 02:19 PM Probably in the 'newer' days, my favorite was in 95 I bought a pearl white brand spanking new Thunderbird. V8, all the bells and whistles. Paid extra for the paint. This baby had heated leather seats, Boze surround sound, moonroof, dual climate control...name the accessory, it had it. I had so many folks ask me what that color was. Soon it became a standard on many vehicles, mostly T bibrds and Cougars though. Mike...what memories..a Triumph...great little cars. Remember the MG's? Also had a Grand Prix I just loved....that would whoop anything off the line...very underrated the GTP. Alas, now I am a 'family' man and have settled for gas mileage. Now driving an '06 Cobalt. :( -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

I had a '67 GTO and one of the smarter things I've done in my life was get rid of it before I let it kill me. :) Michael is moving from Power lifting to Power Trucking :)

It turned heads but, between gas and restoration/performance parts, also turned my hard-earned cash into thin air. My absolute favorite car I've ever owned was recently totalled (September 29th - not my fault). I had a 2000 Camaro SS, LS1, 6-speed, T-tops, etc. It was my baby. I even set up a website with pics: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/324307 I miss it.... :(:(:( -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
