1. It wasn't technically mine I guess but I was the sole driver of it for like 2-3 years. 1999 F-150. It was a bright red stepside supercab with the 4.6L mustang engine and rear wheel drive. It made V8 noises, it could go anywhere, it could haul my mountain bikes, could haul my friends, had a bench seat where my sister's friends liked to sit :hubba: and I drove that thing absolutely everywhere. I totaled it when it was 5 years old or something with 80k miles. It had absolutely zero go wrong with it in that time frame. Best made vehicle I've ever owned.

It looked just like this one, only it was an XLT without the tube steps.

Image

2. My current STI. I love this car so much. It's a back road riot, it sounds incredible, it always makes me smile when I get out of it and I get in it just to drive around and braap. The gas mileage sucks, it rides rough, and it's a little tricky to drive it smoothly when you're just pootling around. It'll have to go eventually because I need something that can cope with horrific infrastructure a little better.

GRAND CANYON OF GIVING A FUCK

Last place is a tie between my 2010 GTI and my 2000 Ford Focus. I'm inclined to say I miss the Focus more, but it was a broken piece of shit just like my VW was. The Focus got me into cars I guess, it was my first manual, and I autocrossed it, put a race suspension on it, etc.. Still a piece of shit. My GTI was a fucking turd but I enjoyed it when it worked right. It was the most rage-inducing vehicle to drive between shit constantly buzzing, rattling, and broken, and the constant misfiring, sluggish acceleration, and heat soak. Just an all around poorly engineered thing.

1. MK7 GTI. It’s the only car I’ve ever owned that I would replace with the same thing if it got totaled out. Sport trim level is perfect. It’s just a complete package of refinement, build quality, sharp looks, performance and character. A set of summer tires and the tune pushes it just over the edge for me... it’s a true one trick pony.
2. FR-S. Clinical, sharp and rewarding. I had 60,000 miles of seat time and it absolutely made me a better driver. I love driving slow cars fast, this is absolutely the best slow fast sports car out there.
3. Renegade Trailhawk. It has more character and quirk than my Mini had, goes off road and enables our mountain biking addiction. It’s slow, loud and coarse, but it’s a great package.
4. FoST. Front wheel drive muscle car and absolute riot to hoon around like an idiot, especially after the Ford Racing/Mountune tune and go fast bits.
5. 16 Silverado. Big, plush, comfy, loaded. I need a truck again in my life.
6. B5 A4 because I grew up watching Touring Car racing and I got to pretend to be Frank Biela for two years.

Everything else has just been an appliance.

BY FAR, my favorite cars were the MIatee.

I had a 94 with a MP62 supercharger, megasquirt, coilover on koins, the whole 9. it was the best, the one that got away, that I should have never sold.

the 91 was a bit more of a basket case but still fun as hell, even with only 100hp!

Second favorite car is the current :mk6: Its my ride or die, and really the best car for me at this point in life.

3. The 16v swapped cabriolet. Such a hoot, such a cheap car

4. mk4 golf TDI. Many, many cheap road trips were had.

5. BMW Z4, such an epic car.
2-5 are all pretty close in the joy of ownership spectrum. For smiles per gallon the :mk6: or the cabby have to be the first loosers :doe:

these were cars that I had, but didnt have strong feels
6. 2013 mustang gt

7. Turbo Ford fuckus. Could have been more fun if i had it longer. Good cars for thier time period (it was an 01)

8. green kit car

9. truck

10. silver kit car

240sx racecar does not count as a car. But many good times were had with it.

If I had it to do all over again, I'd still have it. I got a bur up my butt and decided I wanted a Vette, as it would've been a better platform for track day/autocross car. Damn thing was almost paid off, and I had $2k in suspension parts waiting to be installed on it when I traded it in on the Vette.

Those Mach 1s were awesome indeed. The C5 is definitely a better track platform but far less special... that’s the one thing with C5s, truly done a dozen cars.

Making the list made me realize that I probably don't really want a C8 even if I had the cash. No :manuel: no care. I guess Evora 400 is the semi-attainable "dream car" now.

My favorite is my GTO, by far. I had bought an 05 back in 2006, and when it got wrecked in 2011, I bought an 04 shell and transferred everything into it. It's the one car I always enjoy driving.

My least favorite was my 2012 Cruze. It got great fuel economy, but that was it. It was absolutely gutless, had a horrible HVAC system, and had a few issues from the factory like weird spots showing up all over the windshield in certain mornings.

In between those two, the rankings are mostly interchangeable.

From best to worst

1) my current mk7 GTI. Even though I had some love hate relationship with this car not too long ago, it is really a perfect viable one car for my driving lifestyle. I also would probably get another mk7/.5 or an R.

2) mk6 GTI, I loved it nearly as much as my mk7, but doesn't hold a candle to my mk7. However, i learned a lot about cars with that car, so it'll always have a place in my heart.

3) 2004 TSX. That fucker took a lot of beating for nearly 70k miles of teenage abuse. I never, not once have been stranded with this damn car, in fact the worst issue i had was a motor mount that needs to be replaced. :aintcare: but it takes premium and it wasn't that fast. It is essentially a reliable c230 thats little less comfortable and more sportier.

4) 1999 MB c230, I only "had" that car for roughly 6-7 months? and I was the last sole driver of the household. But it was already 8 years old at the time, so it had some electrical issues(wipers stopped working), and also my dad didn't like the idea of driving a premium brand as my first car and :nope: out of potential expensive repairs.

5) 1990 Corolla 5MT. Hand me down from my cousin and learned :manuel: with, but thats about it. Never left the county :lol: except for that one arena where I had to play my house basketball games.

Those TL's are great it would've been nice to have a :manuel: one and has about the same 0-60 as my mk7. Now they're :poop: :sad: maybe except for the TLX perhaps.

I think I’ve owned the fewest vehicles here. I’m also one of the youngest. I also still own three of them.

1) 2011 GTI
2) 1996 cavalier z24
3) 2004 vw r32 track car
4) 2014 Yamaha bolt
5) 1999 Mazda Miata turbo

The r32 will change as ownership and driving goes up. We will see where it settles. But the gti was what really got me into cars. And my cavalier was my first car. It’s what I learned to drive on and was my original memories and wreckless driving as a 17 year old kid.

:impressive: that the Cav ranks above the likes of the R32. Not surprised your Miata is at the bottom, mine was near there too. I love Miatas, they’re so much fun, but we both had kind of a rough ownershit experience with them.

I loved my Cavalier. It was my first car, dead reliable except the sunroof leaking in the rain. I loved the seating position, back then I though the car was a blast. Id bet today its terrible. But from my 18 year old eyes it was great. Great AC, full soundsystem, decent on gas. It was an all around fun car. Even today I think the Z24 looks okay and I wouldnt be against getting another for a crap daily driver.

Also I said based on how the R32 turns out over driving it and time I will dictate where it ends up. At the moment the small seat and lack of AC make the car less enjoyable than anticipated. But still fun and exceptionally capable.
