What's your favorite car of all time and why?

Of all time??
I have a hard time remembering cars from years gone by and cannot imagine what future cars will be like, so a favourite of all time is quite completely beyond my ability to name.

 

[Lamb]

77 Berlinetta Chevy Camaro...blue/black.

 

[Fritz Kobus]

The '92 5.0 (v8) Mustang with 5-speed manual transmission that I co-own with my son!

From my teenage years it would be a Lamborghini Countach or Ferrari Testarossa. Sadly my dream of the Countach was crushed when I got the opportunity to actually sit in one that was for sale only to find I could only "fit in the car" in the most technical sense. I could physically get into the car and just about close the door but there's no way I could have driven it.

The Aston Martin DB9 Vanquish is a glorious machine, and has the added benefit that I can fit in it and drive it. It's also quite an unusual thing to see on the roads. I still like the crazy look of the Lamborghinis but since I'm not a teenager any more I'm less inclined to actually drive something quite so in-yer-face.

Given a bottomless budget I'd probably go for something like the Aston Martin, and maybe even take some or all of the badges off it. Nobody else needs to know it's an Aston unless they know what they are looking at.

I owned a Mazda Miata. I LOVED it.... so much fun to drive and absolutely beautiful. And it was something almost no sports car is: extremely reliable, rock solid. BUT I had that same issue: the seats were very skinny (fortunately so am I) and it's design for short Japanese guys - and I'm over 6 feet. I did not fit in it very well... and I never could get the steering wheel in a good position. And while it was FUN .... it was also noisey and had a very hard ride.... after some time, I was kind of glad to get out of it.

I'm more into the classics.... give me an Aston Martin DBS or even a James Bond DB6. Astons were something Jags never were: well made, beautifully crafted.

I had a Nissan 200SX for a year or so. It was big enough I could get in and drive it comfortably, and was surprisingly comfortable even over long distances. From the time I bought it to the time I sold it my fuel economy dropped by nearly 20%, largely because I learned to drive it the way it wanted to be driven. That thing was surprisingly swift and cornered well too. My car now has a 0-60 time comparable to the 200SX but since it's a higher sided small SUV I wouldn't care to take corners the way I did in the old Nissan.

Some of the Jags were decent but if they went wrong you were looking at some seriously ugly bills. I must admit I rather liked the DB9 Volante with the top down. I don't know I'd be too quick to decline one of those, if someone ever were to offer me one.

'89 Lincoln Town Car. Of course mine wasn't quite as sparkl-y, but I had the pleasure of driving one (a guy traded it for my old GMC Jimmy PLUS he threw in cash!)
I'm still very fond of late '70's to '80's era Lincolns

Those things are tanks!! You're very protected if you get into an accident

That year was the last of the "land yaght" era for Lincoln, although it was aalready downsized quite a bit. It floated!

Even if only because the front of it is so long you're far enough away from the accident to not be affected. You could probably even claim not to have seen anything...

It's so slick!

Hi, Mailmandan!! It's good to see you.

I had a Nissan XE pickup back in 1995-2003 and that was a great truck. Had a lot of get up and go. This picture looks a lot like it
