What was your favorite car you ever owned ?

Mine was a '65 Pontiac convertible identical to the one pictured 'cept mine was dark green with white converible top and white interior. Riding in this beauty was like driving your living room couch.

To this day I wish I'd never sold it.

Ever since I was young I was always a fan of driving big boats as opposed to some of my buddies who were into muscle cars. With 3 kids I mostly owned 4 door Buicks, probably more LeSabres than any other model but the nicest one I had was a Park Avenue Ultra. Some of them were strictly summer cars while having a winter beater and always a 4x4 pickup year round. Nicest car I ever had by far though that I bought from a mechanic buddy in the late 80's's was a '73 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with a Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance package. Barry had completely redone the interior in a brushed velour that drew constant comments from onlookers, sitting in those front Captain's seats was more comfy than any furniture I had ever sat on. With a 502 engine it had tons of power and just about every option available including auto dimming headlights and coil over airbags in the rear. Even though I never drove it in the winter eventually the frame in spots got past the point of doing any more repairs on it and I had to scrap it even though the body was till pretty good. Similar to this photo with the same wheel covers but with the super wide whitewalls, that car was a real looker that I loved driving for the dozen or so years I had it. Even drove it to Kipawa one year and rented a boat from Alwaki lodge. Got stopped by the QPP about 5 miles from Kipawa, I was barely speeding but the cop told me he really just wanted to take a good look at the car lol. For years every time I went up there Mary the lodge owner's wife would comment on it as it was parked in their lot for the week.

Beautiful ride for sure smitty, they sure don't make cars now the way they used to.

I had 2 favorite cars. First was a 73 Cutlas with the 350 Rocket for a motor. A lot of high school memories with that car. One story, working at a gas station, I got to know the OPP guys quite well as they always got gas here. Working midnights, one buddy cop came in with a couple spray bombs of green paint. He told me to get the rear quarter panels painted as there was an APB on my car.

After high school, I owned a 1981 Subaru Brat. That thing was bomb proof! I raced it on weekends, spent Monday getting it back together so I could get to work, only to race it again the following weekend. I even made Petersons Offroad Magazine with it!  (these are just images off the net).

A 1969 Firebird, dark blue, white interior/convertible. Loved that car until family came and had to sell it.

First and only brand new vehicle I ever bought for myself. Wish I still had it.

One of many favourites. About 12L per 100.  Parked it and the gas savings paid for my next car  

The black bullet.  2005 Buick Allure cxs.  3.6l. If you punched it at 50k it would walk sideways.

Well I'm torn as to my favourite as there were a few but these two are the standouts.

I learned to drive in my Uncles fully loaded 1976 Grand Prix, man this car could move.
This is not the car but it was exactly the same colour scheme that he owned, T roof and all.



Once I was a licensed driver my Mom gave me the keys to my late father's 1972 Ford Torino that as a high schooler I pimped out as best I could including L-50 slicks on Baby Moon rims.  Man I loved that car!  This is not the actual car but it was much the same as this one, right down to the colour.




I'll leave my 1978 Olds Delta 88 for another day, but boy she not only floated down the highways and biways, she could also accelerate like a rocket.
