Mazda Protege. As close to perfection as possible. :)
My first car was a white `61` Pontiac Catalina 2 door. It was a hand down from my dad. I drove it into the ground finally putting 135,000+ miles on it. May late wife and I had a lot of fun in that car when we were in college. They just don’t make cars with that much room anymore. My favorite car was a tie between my 1972 Fiat 124 Spyder, red with a 5 speed and double over cam engine. It was a scream to drive and was my first convertible and my first sports car. The other favorite was actually a truck. My 1999 new body style GMC extended cab, step side pickup. It had everything That GM could put in it and I put much more on it, i.e. headers, true dual exhaust, cold air intake, hot spark plug wires and reworked ECU. I could break the tire loose anytime I felt like it, it rode like a limousine and got 20+ MPG on the highway at well over the national speed limit.
