Here's a real off the topic thread. What's the most favorite car you've owned? My second car in 1975 a year before my drivers license was a 1969 Plymouht GTX! A one better Road Runner with a 440 magnum. I added a BM quick shift Aceel dual point distributer, tarantula intake manifold, hooker headers and a Dana 4;10 posi rear end.I could smoke the tires till 70 mph.Finally in 77'a psyco rearended me and totaled it.Next car was a 1974 Dodge challenger with a 340 magnum, drove that beast till the engine blew. Now I have a 1985 Yamaha V-Max (Not a car but still a hot rod) 145 hp (stock) love it. What's your favorite?

I currently own a '74 Plymouth Gold Duster, and i LOOOOVE my Dusty. 6 cyl, Slant, 225 HP, huge engine, the usual. The '74 Gold Duster was their "economy" value package, featuring a roomy-yet-hidden trunk and a CIGAR lighter. Yes, folks, a cigar lighter.

Kind of a link to the "commercial herresy" thread too: did anyone see the new Jagual ad with Queen's "I'm in love with my car"? Not new wave, but what took someone so long to use that track?!

BTW...high school, 4 friends, trips to the desert with guns,

My favorite car? The one I own now! Certainly not as impressive as the classics listed thus far; however, I love it. A black 2004 Nissan Maxima, 265 hp V6, fully loaded with heated leather seats, heated steering wheel, 6-disc Bose stereo...and a license p
