What's the best car you've ever owned?

my ex and I had a 63 matching numbers Stingray. in our divorce I signed it over to him for a greater equity stake in the house
@Sevendays I settled for a 70/30 split on the house. we both ended up happy. he knew if I got the car I'd have set it on fire just for spite

Hmmm, hard to pick just one, but I'll go with my 1973 Chevrolet El Camino SS.

My grandfather has a `99 Crown Vic. Did you know that you can no longer get an alternator for that car if it needs one? You have to rebuild what you've got at an auto electric specialty shop.

1975 Mercedes 240D I bought used in 1981 with 17,000 miles. The original clutch lasted 140,000 miles and the motor 300,000. All I did was change the oil and I think some other minor repairs. It was slow and spartan. But rock solid and reliable.
Interesting question. I'll answer it this way - I'd've liked to've owned my 1959 Porsche 356 when it was brand new and not the worn out heap I paid $900 for in 1971.

Tough question to answer. I've had vehicles that are super comfortable for long trips. I've bought cars as investments that paid off. I've had fast, fun cars. They've been the best cars but in different ways
Sevendays · M
@Musicman The MKX is really nice too. I rented one last year when I was in Siesta Key
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@Sevendays We really like ours and it is flat towable behind the motorhome. 🙂🙂🙂

@Musicman win/win

My 1971 Bronco I had in high school. It never left me stranded and we went on many epic adventures! Never should have sold it…

I half miss my ‘70 Chevelle, definitely miss my ‘94 Stealth, but I don’t think I’d give up my ‘24 Venza for anything I used to own.
JSul3 · 70-79
All of them.
'77 Olds Cutlass....130k miles.
'90 Ford Thunderbird....143k miles.
'01 GMC Sierra....over 250k miles.
'18 VW Passat....currently 34k and counting.

Barring an accident or a major recall by the manufacturer, you will be able to keep your vehicle running well by doing 2 things:
1. Above anything else, change the oil and filter as suggested by the owner's manual. This will keep the engine in top shape.
2. Preventive maintenance. Read the owner's manual. There is a reason.

I could run over bumps at 170km/h, have a little flight, and it wouldn't care in the slightest

If I take a road bump at more than 30km/h with my current one I'd probably lose a wheel lmao

Don't you have the best memories of your very first car? I bought a 9-month-old VW Polo diesel with 48 hp. As a student, I actually had a pretty good car.

@Bumbles classic!
Either my 2010 Suzuki Swift or my now 2020 Mini Cooper S. Both cars reliable, small, no problems and went like a bat out of hell.
Everyone of them was paid off when they were paid off.
