The Water Cooler – What’s The Best Vehicle You’ve Ever Owned?
’67 Mustang FB with all the options and a built 390 for a fast play car – ’74 Chevy Van with a built 350 for hauling dirtbikes, boats, camping, etc. 🙂
A tie between a Honda and Toyota. Very reliable vehicles that run a very long time, and cost very little to maintain.
I’ve owned 3 Subarus. Two I traded in after about 9 years each. I’m still driving a Forester over 25 years old. But then everything around here is a mile or two away so the mileage is low for all those years. The smog people don’t like it though. Subarus drive like a sports car particularly my first one that had manual transmission. The engines were designed by Porsche.
Best car was 1970 AMC AMX 360 V8, 4 speed, positraction & real fast.
Best truck … well, “Favorite” anyway, was a 1935 Ford.

Life is too short to drive boring vehicles, tho there is alot to be said for driving reliable ones too.
87 Honda accord LX-I
1965 Mustang K Code Fastback, silver with red interior- Long gone, unfortunately.
1998 Toyota Landcruiser- Still have and may be my all time favorite.
88 Volvo 240 GL & 06 Subaru Outback
Honda civic 2004 and Toyota Corolla
I’ve had something like 25 or 30 cars and trucks in my lifetime, maybe more. I started out
when I was a teenager, working on cars, building hot rods, and making them go faster. But
the most fun I had was with a ’62 Chevy pickup. She was a six banger with a three speed,
and the only work I did was to change the carburetor, other than that I left her stock. She
was not a 4-wheel drive, but I drove her like one, I took her off-road, up and down steep
terrain, and through shallow creeks, and she never gave up on me. She just kept on going,
and going, just like the Energizer bunny. Sometimes I wish I’d have kept her, they just don’t make trucks like that anymore.
1952 Hudson Wasp.
