Favorite car you drove?

I don't have a license but I kinda like being in a car with the roof being an entire window so it's less claustrophobic.


I like the small lights on the front.
That’s pretty valid.
Not a car guy but I have driven dozens of cars from a 2x4 with wheels to rocket-straped metal boxes, for some reason the one that 'feels' best and most comfortable to me was '95 Great Corolla.
It just works I guess, sure it wasn't fast but it drives well, you can feel the oomph in every shift, also cheap and easy to maintain.
Ah that’s neat.

I can't drive.
(I might have posted here already)
Do you think they would let you play Forza 6? You definitely need a license to play it.
 
I’ve only driven one car and that’s a Nissan Almera used for driving lessons.

I passed first time yaaaaay. And then I didn’t drive again for over 10 years. Now I need a car for work reasons. Ugh. Is a Honda Civic 2006 any good?
 
My first car was a 1977 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe -- an old yellow step-side pickup truck with rusted scratches all over and a cracked and warped wood-panel bed. It was already over 20 years old when I got my hands on it.

It was a 3-speed manual transmission that someone had changed from being "3 on the tree" to "3 on the floor". I bought it for cheap because it needed a new engine. My dad said he'd match whatever I saved up, so save I did. I bought the truck and put a remanufactured 350 small block engine in it. With over 300 horsepower, that was too much truck for a 17 year old kid who didnt even know how to drive a stick shift yet.

The day I drove my very own truck home from the shop, with jerks and stalls all the way trying to figure out the stick, was the most fun I've ever had in a car. I could spin the tires so easily in first it was hilarious. The damn thing had no radio, no power windows, no anti-lock brakes, and no air conditioning. I was lucky it had power steering. 17-year old me did not care. It was freedom, and it was a blast to drive.
I wish I had never gotten rid of it.
 
(Can't find any pics, so this will have to do)
1977 Pontiac LeMans. It was a big, heavy piece of shit with doors that sagged, they were so heavy; You could barely see over the hood; the radio had two speakers (one in front, one in back to the right); it was about 40% Bondo; despite the size it had almost no power; and the has mileage was laughably crap. But it had power windows, elec assisted steering (you could steer with a pinkie!), the heater was so hot you'd have to roll the windows down when you ran it; you could fix about thirty people in it (I fit ten once); and it was my piece of crap.

Mercury Grand Marquis. I had a 2003.
I drove that thing across the US, it was a good comfy car that just felt cool. Being that it was so long and a rear wheel drive, it was a bit tricky in snow. It also had terrible gas mileage haha, like 13-16 mpg. But I didn’t care. It just felt so good to drive

THE SUBARU BAJA WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST CAR EVER MADE. IT WAS COMPACT YET SPACIOUS. I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO COYHAIQUE WITH IT. IT WAS WONDERFUL. AND THE RECENT "REVIVAL" IS THE FUCKING WORST
 
My little 1993 Dodge Shadow. This isn't the one I had, but it has the same color rims and spoiler as mine did. I loved that little 4-banger.... I swear the thing got 30 mpg, maybe it just seemed like it. It was a sporty little car, and if I remember correctly, it topped out at around 115 mph.

Sadly, it is long, long gone, and I absolutely cried when we had to have it crushed

Absolutely, would buy another if I ever found one and drive it.
::sadkirby I was also sad to say goodbye to my f-150. It was a complete POS: interior was completely gutted (exposed wires everywhere), no ac, the driver side window was held up with a block of wood >_< I also don't like large cars. That said, I did learn to drive a five speed transmission in it, so I got really attached: it was a fun truck to drive ^_^ Sadly, it had 250k+ miles already when I got it, was on its last legs, and ended up donating when the engine blew out cause no one wanted it (the free tow alone was worth the price of the truck probably at that point >_<), so it also probably ended up scraped ::sadkirby

But yea, I'm more a motorcycle person than cars ::winkfelix

:❤️❤️:heart my honda. I'll be completely inconsolable if we have to part ways 😭
 
We named it Lurch. 1975 Buick LeSabre that belonged to my Grandpa. I got it in 1999. Had a hole in the exhaust manifold so you could hear it coming a mile away. Engine was a V8 455 cubic inch engine that got 4 mpg. The dent on the hood is from a loose tractor tire rolling down the freeway and the dent was the only damage. It was unbelievably comfortable and was such a joy to drive with all the windows down. When it was time for it to go, my cousin took it and gave it a second life in the demolition derby circuit
