Wow, thats a hard question to answer as I had many favorite cars. Liked each one for different reasons. But if I could have only one back I guess it would be the Sonic Blue Cobra. I liked it cause it had over 600hp and scared the crap out of me every time I drove it. I liked it because the town ricers would pick on every Mustang in the area but cower from mine. I liked it because it was an icon that Ford really knew how to make power.
Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
first will always be my 1984 CJ7, wish I still had it. Me and my little girl shed a tear when it went away.
her at 2 trying to climb in. We had so much fun in that Jeep.
also miss my 2000 Vert (yes it was slow)
But my 08 JKU is making a strong case for my new favorite. I love this jeep.
Its a tough choice picking between them because each had its own positives and negatives....
83 Supra. Handled exceptionally well, when it was totalled by a drunk driver it had a 190hp imported 6MGE/5sp manual and ran low 15's but a turbo and intercooler were in the works which should have easily put it into the mid 13's. I had a MONSTER sound system in it which I installed myself and was quite proud of. Once the insurance was settled I searched for the car I had always wanted but never could afford...an 87 Grand National but I couldn't find one that a bank would finance so I SETTLED for THIS:
BONE stock 28k mile 94 T/A GT A4. The 275hp LT1 was good enough for 14.0 at 100mph which easily made it the fastest car I had owned at the time. I instantly added the chrome wheels and Ram Air hood...but the speed bug I inherited from my dad...it didn't stay stock for long. By late 98' it made 355rwhp and ran 12.8's at 110..but my attention had shifted to THIS CAR:
My buddy bought this 85 GN and didn't have it for long before he rammed it into a large truck. The damage looked severe but it was all cosmetic. I paid 2 grand for it and drove it home. After talking with members of the local Buick club I found an entire GN front clip for $500 bucks and 2 days after buying it the car looked like THIS:
Over the years the engine was converted to an 87 drivetrain from a wrecked 87 Turbo T I picked up, and with a few mods was running deep 11's in 2003 at nearly 120mph making it EASILY the fastest car I've owned. It doesn't handle nearly as good as my old Supra....arguably its not as sharp looking as my Trans Am was and doesn't have the obnoxious exhaust note of my cammed LT1...but when the boost comes on...all complaints go away..this car is FAST!! I'm in the final stages of building an all roller cam, girdled, forged pistoned, ported headed 3.8 block that SHOULD be more than capable of putting this car in the 10's. It should be back on the street by late spring.
I love my mach, it's slow and looks the part as well.
I have too many favorites, but I think the mach is gonna be my keeper. It's simple and good looking to me.

I cried when mine left. That decision has been my worst in all 19 years.
I swore I would never sell mine and if it had been in better shape I might not have, but after 80k miles and 2 trips to high school(let my sister drive it for about a year while I was in college) and massive hail storm it was time to let it go.
