  I never had a fave ride – just got what I could afford and made sense for my situation. But my fave ride growing up was a black Smokey and the Bandit Transam w/ t-tops and the golden screaming eagle on the hood.

  I drove my Mom's Chrysler Newport Custom, gold metalflake and a 383 that just wouldn't quit. A very large, heavy car whose styling made it appear smaller and sportier than you'd think. My favorite driver? Our '68 Coronet station wagon with a 318, heavy duty suspension and limited slip differential. For the cars I have owned, my favorite is my current ride, a pull-me-over red Dodge Charger R/T with a hemi. I also have a lot of sweet memories of my 1984 Dodge Spirit R/T with a 2.4 liter turbo and a five on the floor.

  My favorite ride in High School was Ann. Ann was like a moped... Fun to ride, but you didn't want your friends to see you. lol.

  '67 Ford Fairlane, candy apple red, 289V8, 3 spd floor shifter. It wasn't all original but I loved that car. A '66 Fairlane GT is still my dream car. Good times.

  '65 Mustang maroon with a white convertible top - "Hi-Performance 289" - I bought it in '67 for $750. Traded it in '69 for a brand new Datsun 2000 sports car ($3200). I wish I had them both today.

  When I was young (1960's), the first nice car I bought was a Mustang. I did not yet know about German cars.

  In my early days, I drove whatever I could. At different times, a Rambler wagon, VW Beetle, Buick Skylark, Chrysler 300, and even an old '49 Dodge I beat the hell out of. It was a TANK!!! My first car I bought and it was new, my favorite. '67 Plymouth Valiant, but equipped like a Formula "S" Barracuda. A true sleeper. BTW, it ate up those HIPO 289 mustangs!

  I don't think I really had a favorite as a youth. My first car was a '49 Chevy that I paid $150 for and my insurance cost $200/yr. The first new car I ever bought was a '73 Ranchero and it was my favorite until I bought a new 2011 Mustang GT. Which has now been replaced with my 2015 Mustang GT.

  I never really had a favorite either, but I still miss my very first car sometimes; had the thing for nine years before it started nickel-and-diming me in repairs. It was a red '79 Chevy Monza, brand new, sold to me by a beautiful young blonde with big blue eyes. Okay. Now I'm starting to wonder if I really miss the car or the blonde.

  The first car I ever owned was a 1984 Fiero. It was a POS but it was MY POS. It was too heavy and slow, but looked cool at the time.

  While my buds were flexing their muscle cars, I was learning the pleasures of a 1973 Chevrolet station wagon with the both rear seats folded down..... They never understood why I had that dumb-ass grin on my face despite driving such a POS ride!

  74 Nova SS with a 427 out of an old Impala with a duel carb set-up off a vette and a 5 speed out of an mid 80's Camaro. Thing didn't start running right till about 100. Looking back I wonder how I'm still alive.

  My gosh impala! How far did you have to beat back the wheelwells and firewall to get that setup installed?
