My top 4 won't knock anyone's socks off like some of the previous.

In this order is how I would rank them.

4: 93 Chevy C-10 Stepside - This truck was a 4.3L with a 5 speed but had the Silverado trim so was pretty cool.
3: 93 Mustang Coupe - This car had the 2.3L 5 speed car which I put an old SVO turbo on. It was a riot to drive.

2 and 1 are a bit of a tie and it depends on how I approach it.

98 Jeep Cherokee - 4.0L - I had this Jeep for 16 years and the only issues I had were created by me. I lifted it twice, built bumpers for it, made a pretty cool off roader out of it but it was the most consistent and never let me down.

12 Mustang GT - This is hands down the most fun to drive and most comfortable cruiser I have ever owned.

None of the squares made the list. Good work horses and fairly dependable but maybe the 78 when I finish will take the place of one of these. If picking today I would pick the Mustang as being the best but it could quit tomorrow and the Jeep will take the win lol.

I have a '91 Cherokee that is the same. Bought it in 2001 with 88,***, it now has 212,***. Nothing but reliable service.

Mine were:
1968 C/10, snb, 350, 4 speed
1966 Chevrolet Impala SS, 283, 4 speed
1975 K/20, 350, 350TH
1988 Dodge W/150, 318, 4 speed

I liked them all but drove the '68 C/10 the longest of any of them.

The first car I ever had was a 1976 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale. (coupe)
I wrecked it in short order smoking cigaretes at age 16 and I've been trying to find another one for a very,very, long time. I consider it like "the one that got away".
Wish I had another one..it sure was a badass car.

My parents should have fixed it.

In the few years that I've been owning cars, I've owned about 7 of them:

2007 Chevrolet Suburban (Absolute pile of rusty crap that was handed down to me shortly before the the transmission went out).

1999 Chrysler Grand Voyager SE (Was my grandmother's, I got it running again after 5 years, and continued on to sell it).

1974 GMC C1500 (Sold the van and bought this thing and I now drive it every day).

1970 Datsun 240z (Me, my brother, and his friend got this thing to flip. I got it to run, but never got to drive it).

1995 Chevrolet Suburban (I sold the '07 and immediately bought this thing. Unlike th '07 the A/C actually worked, it would actually shift through all of the gears, and it didn't have a hole in the floor).

1995 Mazda MX5 Miata (Bought for $500 by me and my brother to flip).

1988 Chevy C1500 (Bought for next to nothing, with a bad transmission, I proceeded to stick a used trans into it and paint it before selling it recently).

Now my 4 favorites:

1995 Suburban

My favorite, though, has to be the '74 GMC since I've done so much **** with it.

if i don't post now, i'll forget.
i'll try to come back with pics.

1) 1976 chrysler new yorker with 440
... first car purchase ever. bought it while stationed in germany from a departing soldier. we crammed 6 to 8 g.i.s in that thing and went everywhere that wasn't under communist control in the 80s. destroyed the motor on the autobahn trying to show a eurocar what was what.

2) 1978 porshe 911 cabriolet.
... it looked as bad as my k20 when i bought it super cheap after killing the new yorker. wasn't usa spec'd so couldn't ship it back with me.

3) 1977 jeep wagoneer with quadratrac.
... my grandmother's rig i inherited when she passed. the transfer case died and i got guilted into selling it rather than fixing it. super fun rig had a 360 in it. wood grain sides and white wagon wheels.

4) 1987 buick regal with 307.
... exterior and interior was really good with the pillow backed seats. put in a great sound system. had just a little engine work done (not by me of course) that woke up the motor without being silly. fat enough to notice rear tires but not fat enough to cause clearance problems. put a ton of miles on this one.

the winner is:
the wagoneer. if i could have that ride back, i'd really like that the most. i really like my k20 and if i every get it 'looking' as good as the wagoneer was, i'll change my answer.

:)

I've only owned 3 cars myself, wife and I co-owned a few subarus and now a Hyundai and the truck.

1. 2003 Mini Cooper S, manual transmission - my first car, had it since new, original owner. I always say it is my classic car and one I will never part with. I literally celebrate the car's build date each year like a birthday. I've driven it cross country numerous times, and gotten into a lot of trouble as well.

Lately it has been usually stored in a bubble.

2. 1989 Toyota Corolla, automatic - looked like a turd but it was clean and mechanically sound. I loved that little car, wish I still had it. Nobody makes small, light, puddle jumpers anymore. I'd be driving this daily instead of the Spark.
Looked like this one:

3. 2014 Chevy Spark, manual transmission - bought new when I retired my Mini from daily driver status. Runs like a top, sings at high rpm, fun to thrash, and you can't get into trouble cause it's 0-60 in 15 seconds. It has a custom made kevlar clutch.

4. 1976 K10, automatic - technically my wife's but who is keeping track anyway? I do all the work on it.


Best and favorite is my Mini.

'68 Chevy C10 327 4speed
'86 Monte Carlo 305 V8 2004R
'90 Chevy C1500 Silverado 4.3 V6 5 speed
'89 GMC K1500 350 auto overdrive

It's hard to pick between the '68 and the '90, but all around I liked the '90 Chevy pickup the best. Was a really nice blue and sliver two-tone. Most comfortable pickup I have ever had by far to drive and got 20 mpg also. Was my college vehicle and I still regret selling it.

In order of purchase:
'90 Pontiac Grand Prix SE coupe - first car
'01 S-10 LS, extended cab, ZQ8, 4.3L
'08 4Runner Sport, 4.7L V8, Fox suspension (my first real offroader)
'90 Suburban, 350, 4" BDS lift

I'm torn between all of these. I still have the 4Runner and the Suburban and can't bear the thought of parting with either of them, and my S10 is the "one that got away." Overall I'd have to say the 4Runner is my favorite, but it's a very close match.
