Threads like this become dick measuring contests after awhile. "I've had 42 Ferrarris, 102 Porsches, a dozen Lamborghinis, etc., etc."

The GT was really a car I wanted for years, back when I was in highschool there was a white dodge stealth I used to always see on my way to school and it looked so cool |

I think when one answers this question they must frame their criteria for "favorite". I tend to keep cars a long time and to high mileages.
Based on total ownership experience (how much it cost to own, how many miles I got out of it, and how much it breaks or broke): 1 - 2006 E90 325i 2 - 1988 E30 325i 3 - 2008 E86 Z4 3.0si Coupe 4 - 1997 E37 Z3 1.9L roadster (still have the James Bond license plate for it - BMW delivered them that way ) 5 - 1982 Ford Escort Based on Best liked to drive: 1 - 2008 E86 Z4 3.0si Coupe 2 - 1997 E37 Z3 1.9L roadster 3 - 1988 E30 325i 4 - 2006 E90 325i 5 - 1972 Ford Pinto 2.0L (was most excellent for bootlegs) The E21 320i fits in here somewhere, but I never owned one, just drove a few a lot. Since someone brought up scooters (favorite to ride): 1 - 1990 Honda CBR 1000F 2 - 1994 Kawasaki Concours 3 - 1982 Yamaha Seca 650 4 - 1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate 5 - 2019 Indian FTR 1200S (hoping this will move the CBR to number 2 )

I will say this... the most satisfying moment I ever had in a car buying life was after struggling in business for a few years and being able to walk into the Ferrari dealership in Newport Beach realizing all the hard work had paid off and telling the salesman "I want that one!". |

I did the same thing about 3 years after I started my business I walked in ferrari of Atlanta and bought the new Ferrari 348. It is the best feeling ever I was just thinking 3 years ago I could afford rent on a small house that was 850$ a month now I own a new Ferrari and a expensive house non financed. I was working 18-20 hours a day everyday though it was hard but it paid off and it still is That reminds me when I went to buy the 348 the guy in Ferrari dealership tried to sell me the new F40 for $399,995 I wish I would have bought it but at the time I was just like no that’s pretty pricey I’ll take the 355 but no one knew it would have been 1.5million today. |

Yeah but honestly if I worked hard to be able to afford a string of Ferrari's I'd probably talk about it in this thread too. Just like if I had a foot long dick is probably enter dick measuring contests because it's and easy win and a chance to feel proud of my huge schlong.

I've only owned seven cars in thirty years of driving, if I had to choose five of them they'd be in this order, although I wouldn't want to have any of them apart from the e92 as a dd nowadays.

I can only state the 2 worst cars I've ever owned-
Mazdaspeed3- Ungodlike torque steer, extreme traction issues w fwd, very weak motor mounts, 0 tuning capability at the time. The car is the net result of what happens when you try to make a made up sport car out of a mazda3... the vw gti is simply on another level. BMW 135i- Short chassis car designed around a poor runflat suspension. Very twitchy car with the worst open diff known to man... add to that really bad looks and the reliability plagued N54.

I have had probably 30 vehicles over the years and finally have my favorites right now and happy with them all.
1. Truck is a Raptor. 2. Fun car is my 1965 AC Cobra replica (Backdraft Racing). 3. Commuter car is 16 Golf R 4. Kid hauler is wife's Grand Cherokee 5. Boat Is 2019 Nautique G21 Not looking for anything else as garage space is full.

I had a 1971 Corvette that I loved. Bought it new and had it for a little over 6 years, but had to sell because I needed more than 2 seats

I did not list it as a favorite but did own a 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette. I was not the two tone silver model but white. Original one owner that I bought in 1985 for $6000.00 and mint with 50k miles....it was a great car with no problems, but I didn't pay much for it so lower expectations!
