I think I’m gonna try and the the dishwasher into a Yukon because she would never drive a pick up.

1998 Buick pahk Avenue.
I loved that car. I could sleep with girls in the back seat no problem and the air suspension felt like I was floating down the highway.
Best part was driving around Brockton and getting in accidents with all the illegals. Good times brah.
But I snapped the #2 connecting rod and refused to pull over. I drove all the way from the north end to Brockton like that and that was all she wrote.
I want to get another Brockton beatah so I can start playin bumpah cahs again. I miss those days. I’ll take any big American boat.

That's the odometer in my 98 LeSabre. I drove it for another 10K miles before selling it for $250. And just like yer Pahk Avenue, it was great for playing bumpah cahs. I collected on 3 different times I got hit in that car...made enough to pay for my Panther.
My 03 6.0 Excursion Limited has been my most pleasant surprise. It still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
I had a 2001 Monte Carlo SS. Loved that car. Smooth driving and it drove awesome. Was just way under-powered unfortunately.
Also, my'99 Hugger Orange SS, which I traded in for the Roush. Great car and was a blast to drive. Was pretty quick for the time as well.

Viper. Never had a more enjoyable drive. Car was nasty and tight like a new hooker. Everyone looked and pointed at it. How it must feel to drive a Ferrari with all the ogling.
Vipers may not be practical but it is an awesome machine to experience!

The 2017 Lincoln Continental was incredibly nice. I liked it more than the Cadillac and Mercedes that were similarly priced.
What are some typical maintenance costs or yearly estimates for the M6? I really like the v10 m6, haven't driven one though.
This. A C-street NB Miata is my current summer daily.
I used to poke fun at Miatas all the time, wrote them off etc. I finally decided to buy a cheap NA as I missed having a roadster while owning my blown 3v GT.
Needless to say I feel in love. Definitely the most pleasant surprise to me car wise. I’ve had lots of fast, fun vehicles; but nothing yet has beaten the playful character of the Miata. It was stock aside from a set of used KYB GR2 shocks.
Sold, along with my 02 WS6 (don’t meet your heroes) to buy a vette.
C5 z51 is probably a close second for pleasantly surprised. I have a mile long list of GM cheapshit based complaints, but man is it fun to drive, However it’s sat and is still sitting as I’d rather bomb around in my NB Miata.
You just flog them relentlessly and they just hang on. The harder you drive it into a turn, the more fun it is and the lack of power becomes distant. It’s extremely hard to match their entry speed, and that’s where the biggest rush is. Go kart feels and open air are just bigger perks.
If it had a power adder I’d probably ever get out of it.
$400 Battery
$150 oil only, my cost.
Then other needed repairs were above average than our typical European car repair bill.
If I had to guess it would be over 6k a year to keep it running, excluding normal wear items/parts.
Pick your poison.
Bumpah cahs is such an underrated activity. I truly miss it.
My dads 2007 and 2010 SilverAdo Z71 extended cab. Smooth, quiet, rode well, felt tough, plenty of power, just felt good to drive. What a truck should be
I had a ‘92 SHO with a 6lb Powerdyne kit on it. 330whp when I sold it. It had an appetite for transaxles, but was the first car I drove to 160MPH.
This! I want another truck with ranch hand bumpers, used to have a 97 F250 powahstroke and loved using the chrome horn, driving in some parts of Houston is like Mad Max Thunderdome.
My 04 mini Cooper S was the most fun car I've had to drive. I only got rid of it because it was also the worst POS I've ever had. Everything was falling apart at 60k miles.
I recently got upgraded to a Ford Flex limited for my last rental. I was very surprised how nice it is.
2008 Chevy Cobalt SS - 260hp/260wtq and weighed 2960lbs. It went 13.5 at 104mph stock and 13.1 at 112mph with bolt-ons. With the bolt-ons it made 318whp/389wtq and would melt the tires from a 40mph roll.
It was an awesome daily driver that would knock down 32-33mpg on the highway.

both of these are very fun cars, a buddy I used to work with had a cobalt ss as a beater and another had a full bolton Mini Cooper s, tuned etc. I really enjoyed the mini, car was on rails!
06 Ford Fusion. Had a ton of room, plenty of power and only had a ball joint fail at 144,000 miles. It was the most trouble free vehicle I have ever owned. It pulled down like 24mpg and it was simply just a good car.

My wifeys 2014 BMW 328i with the M package is honestly been the most balanced and fun car, while still keeping all the creature comforts. Putting it in sport mode really wakes it up. I've been curious about some basic bolt ones but she isnt having it lol. After that it would be my 04 Lightning.... I've owned a ton of mustang's and ect but this thing takes the cake.

My C6Z was my favorite out of everything I have owned so far. Sometimes I still miss my 97 Cobra Vert & 93 GT.
Enjoyed my 1st Mazdaspeed6, that I should have kept, so much that I bought the current one in 2013 & this is the longest I have ever had any car by far, but it's time to move on. Bought the 1st new in 2007 when I was actually in the market for a TL to use as a DD. I stopped to test drive a used MS6 on a whim & fell in love.
I'm on my 3rd Miata so I must really like them too. This time I was able to find one already blown with the rest of the performance stuff already done for me. I simply upgraded the appearance & stereo. You cannot beat a cheap to own & work on street legal go kart. Bonus, also super easy to wrench on.
Out of cars I have driven, definitely the C7Z is up there for fun factor. Also enjoyed the Gen2 CTS-Vs I drove. So much better than Gen1. Back in the day, I had a Z4 for a day & almost bought the damn thing.
Dated a chick with a late model Mini Cooper. That was actually pretty fun to drive. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of fun cars.
My old 95 Z28 was super fun to own & I surely got my money's worth out of it. Oh to be young again! I also found 2 of my best friends in the world thanks to that car. Bought it at 42k miles & sold it at 94k.
