My 1981 Toyota pickup. It never ran 100% but it always ran. That thing lived in a perpetual state of almost broken. Oh and it was the ugliest mustard yellow color it was always so easy to find in a parking lot.
After the engine shat all its oil I sold the thing the guy rebuilt it then road tripped on a 6000 mile road trip.
The best part is it had a steel flat bed and no exhaust. I could merge instantly in the heaviest traffic. People would dive out of my way because they had no idea if I cared one bit about hitting them.
My first car was a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix, and the thing was a tank. It was my favorite car I’ve ever had up until I got a 2018 Mercedes GLA a couple years ago, which is also a tank and objectively the best car I’ve ever had.
I have a 91 Chevy S10 that I will likely be buried in. I’ve had it for nearly 15 years and it’s my favorite. I learned to drive in an S10 and sadly we had to sell that one. I bought the current one as a “replacement” and I love it even more. It is objectively not that great, but it’s clean and runs well and when it dies, it’s getting a V8.
I took over my mom’s minivan during college. My frat bros made fun of me at first, but damn that was a great road trip vehicle.
Though on the whole, my current Subaru Outback might be my favorite because it came with a sweet sound system. I’ve never splurged on premium sound, and this was included because I wanted the towing capacity of the premium trim. Game changer.
I kinda like the minivan concept, and I love the ID.Buzz design, it’s funky!
My current Leon only has the standard Seat sound system but it is fine for me, even when listening to good music it works very well, for podcasts it is excellent.
I’ve got an outback with the premium sound and whomever tuned that system must have massive low frequency hearing loss.
Like, thanks for the subwoofer, why did you let a 19 year old from 1998 tune it?
Everything else except the PCB draining the battery 4 times completely in a year before I knew what was happening and replaced it and the thin ass fake leather seats literally peeling from the heated seats and the worse than advertised gas mileage is great!
2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse! Pearlescent Sunset, SE spoiler, pedals, and SE stripe. Decent sound system, handled great in the snow, and was fast enough to get me in trouble! I had it for 11 years, solid car.
This one. 2014 Honda Accord with manual transmission. I love this car, and want it to last forever.
Second favorite was a Chevy Geo Prism, also manual (I kinda hate automatic transmission) that got the best gas mileage of any car I have owned before or since. Overhead cam, perfect engine design. Body fell apart, but that engine would not stop and was so efficient.
A 2000 Pontiac Sunfire. It was faster than my cousin’s 2005 Ford mustang. That is why it holds a special place in my heart. It was damn shame though, because some stupid bitch rear ended my Pontiac Sunfire while she was on her phone driving her ugly as fuck dodge caravan. I felt like I lost my true sports car. To make it worse, due to the shit economy I had to default to a 1994 Toyota Corolla wagon
Due to some poor decisions, I had my license suspended for 6 months and a friend of mine ended up driving my 2000 Expedition since I couldn’t, and she started treating it like it was hers. I couldn’t stand this, so when I was able to drive again and she still hadn’t gotten her own vehicle, I wanted to get something she wouldn’t want to drive since she liked my Expy so much. This led me to trading the Expy straight up for a 96 Impala with a broken odometer. She HATED that car but I fuckin loved it. And it was MINE. I installed the 9C1 (Cop car) suspension including front and rear springs, added Edelbrock headers and installed an Infinity sound system complete with dual subs in the trunk. Even added rear door speakers since there were none and it was the cleanest install I’d ever done. I loved that car, but we were moving to Colorado, we needed a truck, and the transmission valve body needed rebuilt which I didn’t have time to do so I traded it. I’m still very sad about it but it will always be my favorite vehicle that I’d owned.
