I'll go first, I guess.

First car: '67 beige Ford Mustang. This was the car on which my dad taught me to drive a stick. Loved the car, but blew it up on the way home in a snowstorm because DUH you need to put oil in it. Gimme a break, I was only 16.

Worst car: Red Chevy Vega with white "racing" stripe. <-- contradiction in terms

Best car: 2001 Black Saab 9-5 was the sweetest car EVER. DDH also had an '87 Toyota MR2 which was a blast to drive.

Dream car: Would love to have the Saab back. LOVED it.

My first car was a pickup truck. A 1988 silver Toyota extended cab. I worked everyday after school to get it in 1993. LOVED that truck.

Favorite car I've owned is my current truck. A 2004 silver( I like silver lol) Nissan Titan with all the trimmings. She's getting a bit worn lol, but I'm gonna keep her until the wheels fall off. As a matter of fact, I'm going to put some brand new shoes on her this week.

Dream car? Idk, never really thought about it lol. I'm not a car guy, so it would have to be a truck of some sort I guess.

First car I ever owned was a 1990 ish Hyundai. Bought it brand new. Let a friend drive it and it was totaled in an accident.
Next car was the worst car I had was a old Volkswagon bug. Bad shape. Had no brakes. Let it sit in front of my house till it was towed.
Favorite car is one I have now parked in the garage under a cover 1999 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air. Black with 20000 miles. Only have those miles to keep the batery charged and take it out on a weekend every now and then.
Dream car is a Dodge Viper.

First car- 94 plymouth sundance v6
Worst car- Jeep cherokee, wasn't a bad car but way out of my comfort zone. Prefer something small and doesn't look fast. That way I can get away with speeding, and never have to worry about flipping when go 75 in a 25 turn.
Favorite car- 94 plymouth sundance v6
Dream car- don't really have one. Wife's is a Mustang Cobra supersnake with 750hp (sorry Snow sir). :)

What's your favorite car you've owned?

1961 Chevy Impala 2 door hardtop, 283 V-8, Automatic. By the time I got done cherrying it ut it had a 427 Corvette engine, transmission, rear end and Lead in the frame to hold it on the road! It was SUPER FAST! (of course it was also Expensive to drive because of gas and speeding tickets!)

What's your dream car?

I would Love to have my old '61 Chevy back!

First car was a battleship gray 1964 Cadillac Sedan DeVille (it was 1980 already). After a month, it needed a new rear end. It had a condition called a "hot start". Once the engine was started and warm and I drove any distance at all and parked it, that sucker would not start back up until the engine was cold again. Had to keep it running while parked quite often. Owned it for about 8 months total.

Worst car would be several (oh, the stories!) but the first car takes the prize.

Favorite car is my 5-speed 1997 Saturn Coupe and it's my current car with 63K miles.

Dream car would be preferably American, convertible, with a stick shift. Like that's gonna happen! :glare:

First car - 67 Mustang...what a dream!

Worst car - Pantera...I had to drive it through mud puddles deeper than it was and it always died <sigh>

Favorite car - a toss-up between the Mustang and a WWII vintage jeep...complete with WWII holes <yikes>

Dream car - Back to the Mustang, I guess :) I would love to have another one! Failing that, the car hasn't been invented yet that I would consider a dream car :)

No, not the band, silly.

What was your first car?

Worst car you've ever owned?

What's your favorite car you've owned?

What's your dream car?

My first was an '87 Ford Escort GL. No power steering, manual transmission. It was a great first car. Wrecked it within the first year of owning it. It didnt stand up too well to being hit by a '74 Ford pickup!

Worst car... thats tough.. Ive owned a lot of TERRIBLE cars... Toss up between a 1989 Chevy Corsica, 1987 Honda Civic 2 dr hatch, or a 1979 Toyota Corolla. The Corsica couldnt idle and it blew three head gaskets, the Civic was in a constant state of disrepair, and the Corolla made you want a tetnus shot to stand next to it!

My favorite is easy
<----Thats her!!! Aint she purdy?!

My dream car is probably a Porsche 911 Twin Turbo. Somthing about being able to go from 60-100mph in 1 second.

What was your first car? 72 Gremlin, then a 70 Maverick

Worst car you've ever owned? It was a tossup between the above 2

What's your favorite car you've owned? 68 Chevy Impala - Burgandy with Truspoke Wire Wheels.

What's your dream car? I have too many to list and I don't think it's possible to narrow down! Would love an old Goat at some point. A buddy had a 69 Chevelle convertible that was to die for.

First Car: '93 Mercury Tracer. Not by choice. This car never even made it to 100K miles and not because of neglect. Piece of junk sedan.

Worst Car: 2000 Ford Contour sport. This car is the worst PoS ever. Went thru three fuel pumps, two water pump housings, had to rewire the entire back end of the car, window motors pulled themselves out of the door multiple times but the best? The transmission (mtx) kept dropping its shift pin for a total of 15times in only 120k miles. Thts not all either. This is the most expensove car ive ever owned and had to dump the most money blood sweat and tears to keep it going. Finally gave up and junked it. I will never buy another ford again volvo tech or not.

Best Car: 2001 Honda civic. Was an atx is now a mtx 250k miles... 50mpg city not a hybrid and my first honda love. I love ths car so much i bought a 2005 civic coupe to keep it company.

Favourite Car: 79 Triumph TR7 with non lucas electronics.

Dream Car: Honda S2000
