What was your first car, which car is the best you ever owned and which was the worst?

My first car: AMC Eagle Wagon. For high school it was awesome. Lots of room, big engine. Mine was green with fake wood panels! Nice.

The best one- the one I have now. Lancia Delta. Italian turbo charged sports wagon that gets 45 miles to the gallon.

The absolute worst- Kia Sportage 1998. Made the mistake of buying it to actually use in rough road conditions. Everything went wrong with it. The roof leaked, the 4 wheel drive broke, the AC broke, the windows broke, the steering column broke... it was just junk.

My first car was a 2000 Toyota Corolla, used it mainly for college...my best car is a tie between my previous car and my current car. Previous car was a 2006 Audi A4 S-Line Quattro sedan (I miss the Quattro) and my current car is a 2009 BMW 335 coupe (which I :love: to death!!).

First car: my Toyota Corolla, but it was in like a grape/blue-ish color.

I don't have a worst car, UNLESS you count my Acura TSX that I had to keep taking to the dealer to get fixed...

1st car was

1982 Nissan Stanza Hatchback - Horrible car that after two weeks I went around a corner and the back quarter panel window just fell right out.

favorite Car was my last car which was a 2003 Range Rover Sport. This car had everything and ran great.

Current car is possibly also the best car. I now have a Volvo S40 that I absolutely love. Did not want a huge car/truck anymore, so I wanted something the extreme opposite. Small that still had luxury and did not break the bank.

My first car was a 1971 Ford Pinto. In a way it was my best car because it was my first car. :)

My worst car was a 1971 Ford Pinto. Well yeah, a Ford Pinto.

My best car is the one I currently own; a 2006 Honda Ridgeline.

Wow GC, NICE cars!!
 
First car was a 1996 Ford Escort LX. Was great for a first car, and it even went through my brother and sister as their firsts too.

Best Car- Current car 2008 Pontiac G6 GXP. I love everything about it, sporty at 252hp, but still big enough for a future family.

Worst car- 2001 Pontiac Aztek. I liked it at first, but I didnt like that my air conditioner kept dying. I loved the room to haul all my band equipment around.

Thanks!! However, my golf clubs don't really fit in the boot of my car, LOL, have to put them in sideways and be careful when I take them in and out of the boot.

I'm a car gal :good:

I auto-crossed my car for the first time last year, what fun times :D

First car-- 1985 Mercury Sable
Best car and Current Car-- 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan with EVERYTHING!!!
Worst car-- 1992 Chevy Cavalier Convertible
 
First Car - 1962 Ford Falcon Futura

Worst Car - Ford F150 Pickup - 1985. POJ.

Favorite Car - 1966 Thunderbird Landau. I wish I still had it.

Current Car - 2008 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab 4WD Truck (This may be the absolute best vehicle ever since it belongs to my company's leasing agency and it costs me $0.00!)
 
As a city rat who never owned a car before marriage and suburbs, I've only had one. Actually, it's registered in Hubby's name. So it's all three--a 2000 Honda Odyssey (aka Mom-mobile).
 
My worst vehicle was also my first. It was a hand-me-down from my mom - a 1971 Ford Pinto. Big rigs used to hunt Pintos like mine down so they could rear-end them and see some fireworks.

My best vehicle was my 1997 Lexus LX450. It was beautiful, solid and would go anywhere. Never had any problems with it. Mine was black like this one, but had 20" wheels (nothing crazy like dubs or 24" wheels) with darkly-tinted windows. It was such a great vehicle, but it gulped gas like crazy. I was lucky if I got 13mpg, which was crazy since I'm on the freeway 75% of the time. I still miss this rig, especially in the winter.

My favorite vehicle is my 2003 Acura TL. It's a Type S, and it's pretty quick. I modified its suspension slightly and added some go-fast goodies. It's been a blast to drive. Mine is silver - looks pretty close to this gorgeous one.

First car: 1979 Chevy Malibu Classic

Best car: 1999 Chevy Silverado ECSB Z-71

Favorite car:1970 Chevelle SS454 *never should have let it go*

Worst car: 1999 Cadillac Catera, biggest POS that I've ever owned. Happiest day of ownership was the day the mechanic called and told me somebody had stolen it from in front of his shop.

The BF wanted me to get the new Z instead of the bimmer...

Do your clubs fit in the back?

You have a very VERY generous BF. I had to buy mine used to be able to afford it and I will be paying it off for another 2 years.
 
Z looks great Seth. Are those G35 wheels?

He's somewhat generous, he's paying for my insurance while I pay for the car that he hardly gets to drive :good: I've got 4 more years left and it will be all mine :joy:

Thanks! Those are MB wheels that they don't make anymore. I fell asleep on the road one day and kissed a guard rail. I barely did any damage to the car but I scrapped the lip of the rims a little and tried to get more. Annoying.
 
First: 77 Buick Regal
Worst: 86 Chevy Cavalier
Best (current): 99 Dodge Ram Quad Cab

Nice! I am trying to decide what to do for my next car. I think it is going to be something more practical with lots of buttons.

Dent said:
So worth it Seth even if it is used. The Z is an amazing car.

The car is amazing. I have only been caught speeding once and it was around a sharp corner while I was doing 86 at midnight on a country road. The cop told me that he liked my car as he wrote me a ticket.

They look a little like the 19" Ray's forged wheels that G35s have. Is yours an Enthusiast or a Touring?
