A lot of cars over the years, but the standouts were -

I got a new 65 Mustang that was kind of fun. Really liked that car.

Then I got a new 66 Corvette convertible. That was so much fun.... Time to go to bed so I can get up early and go to work. Nayh, I'll go out for a drive for a while before going to bed. 200 or 300 miles later, now I'll go to bed.

My 2011 F-150 Lariat SCREW EB was wonderful. Affected me the same way about just looking for an excuse to get in it and drive somewhere. Sorry, the Vette moved to 2nd place.

Now I have a 2012 F-150 Platinum SCREW EB. Even nicer, more comfortable, lots more goodies and cushion. Wonderful gas mileage. Way more power than I will ever need for anything. I've driven it 1,200 miles in a single day and got out feeling great. Hauled a couple of heavy trailers thousands of miles through the Rocky Mountains - the EB is impervious to altitude. First vehicle I have had that didn't lose power, just when you need more not less. Drives nice, rides smoothly, quiet, comfortable, looks good, easy to care for. Huge amount of space in the cab. Put the rear seats up and load some big stuff in that is protected from the weather, without having to mess with a bed cover. Seats down - just as comfortable and more space than my Town Car had. Much better sound system that any other vehicle I have owned.

I upgraded the headlight bulbs - stock are a little weak. I added a VLED license plate frame because the stock back up lights are a little weak. Added an MPT custom tune to improve the already good mileage.

When I get time to hook up a tail gate lock that works with the doors / key fob it will be PERFECT!

The Vette has moved to 3rd place now.

And I think now I will go for a little drive just for fun. There's a pretty decent restaurant about 60 miles down the road - why not, life is short.

Had to be this '66 Pontiac GTO...389 tri-power...close ratio 4 speed...3.90 limited slip...M/T headers...Isky 310 hydraulic cam and kit...re-worked head's...Ram Air open hood scoop with air box...M&H ripple wall slick's...best time was 12.7 @109 mph running SS/C. This car was bought new in May 1966 and custom ordered by myself at 18 yrs old. This picture was taken in 1968 and car was sold in July '69 due to getting too many ticket's.

Don't have a favorite. 2000 jeep wrangler with every mod you can think of was a lot of fun and would go anywhere. 1999 f350 crew cab long box diesel was a beast that would haul a house, run 14 sec quarter mile, and was fun smoking people out. 2011 ecoboost f150 rides great, comfortable, fast, powerful.

Best daily driver I've had is my current '13 F150 Limited. I love everything about this truck, inside and out. It's extremely comfortable, has a decent amount of power, hauls all I need it to, and looks good.




Most fun car so far is my '13 Chevy Camaro ZL1 convertible. My Porsche Cayman was frickin blast, but I can have fun and actually haul the family around too. I love being able to play with the toy and spend time with my family at the same time. And man is it fast!!

Old thread! I will update my original post. Since I made this post Ive put 40K on my Lariat and Ive enjoyed every mile. This truck is a great DD, its comfortable, handles well, rocks in the snow, hauls all my toys and is safe for my family. My 2001 Ranger pictured below however will likely remain my favorite for many years though. Its fun as hell to drive and represents alot of memories for me. I still own it and likely always will.

it may lose its spot when the F-150 is finished, but time will tell

Too early to call my new-to-me '02 FX4 Screw my best vehicle ever.

My first vehicle was a '98 Saturn SL2, I swore by that car, it was a tough little car, good on gas, excellent handling in sharp curves and plenty of kick for a 1.8l engine.

My first truck was an '04 Ranger XLT w/ 2.3l. I loved it the first year I owned it, it was reliable but I got stuck enough with the 2wd and it was severely under powered.

I've had three trucks as work vehicles; '02 F150 XL 2WD w/ 4.6l engine, '04 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 4x4 w/ 6.0 Vortec and an '11 F150 XL 2wd w/ 3.7 engine.

I am going to call the '02 F150 my favorite vehicle ever. It was a short bed regular F150 XL "fleet truck". It had 286,000 miles when it was assigned to be an it had 305,148 miles when I turned it in. It was a great little truck, always reliable and the short wheel base and the rebuilt diff with locker made that truck go ANYWHERE. I wish I still had a picture of some of the hollows I've came up out of in that truck. I almost went and bought it at the DOT auction, but I talked myself out of it.

This one's EASY for me:
2007 Chv 3500HD dually, CC, 4wd D/A.


I'd still have it if some RAGING *****-HOLE didn't ram into it doing 45mph.
Caused $17k worth of damage, but worse yet was the fact that the spring hangers and other fittings that are welded onto the frame at the factory, had to be bolted on in the repair. I had to pitch it because of this, and I'll never freaking forget it.
The *****stick only had $10k in insurance so I had to cover the rest as well, and the cops didn't even wanna take a report. I HAD to find the dude.
Just a real 'Pleasant' experience all-around.

I will say my first car I got in highscool, 77 Ford Granada 302. Besides the fact that the car would not die(260,000 before it did), this car was awesome for running stuff over. It had a huge metal bumper that stuck out about a foot more than anything else on the car. Man the stuff I ran over, mailboxes, real estate signs, portable ****ers, playground equipment, bicycles, ect...

My brother and I also use to play tag with it. He had a 74 Nova Straight six. Its funny because we lived in the city, we would just smash eachother on main streets and people were really concerned. Im gonna try to find a picture of that car.

late-2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0L 4wd. had heated leather, moonroof, really nice Infinity factory stereo. I replaced the original Selec-Trac open diff axles with Quadra-Drive limited-slip axles, had JK Rubicon 17" wheels with Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmors, and this Jeep was absolutely unstoppable no matter what I did to it. we were going through some financial hard times in early 2012 and I sold it for $5300. I regret it every day.
