Best 1990 Lexus LS 400
WORST:
Worst 1991 BMW 850i Auto
Worst car was a VW Dasher, ne Audi Fox. A complete POS. Almost everything fell apart on that thing.
My favorite was a 1968 Ford ltd with a 428.
Worst was a 77 Monte Carlo.
1999 Honda Odyssey.....drove it for 13 years, taking my kids to school, vacations, etc. Had to retire it at 215,000 miles. We felt like we lost a family member when it was replaced.
I’ve had two great vehicles and I can’t decide what’s the best:
1984 Chevy Impala. White, four door, used to be owned by a small town in Montana. My first car. It survived everything a wild teenager could do to it, got good mileage, could seat 12 or so on a Friday night, had a posi rear end so it was great for winter.
1997 Ford Ranger. It just wouldn’t die. I’d still be driving it if I hadn’t been car number two in a five car pileup on the interstate. 4 cylinder manual.
The worst? I should never have bought my wife that V-12 Jaguar to drive around. What a money pit.
‘72 Mach One when I was a senior in HS in ‘74.
While the jocks were at practice, I was busy seeing how many of the cheerleaders I could fit in my Mustang.
nothing like being packed into a small smace with 7 or 8 of the hottest chicks in school
Best, my 2012 Silverado. Big Engine. High off the ground. Most comfortable drive I have ever had.
Worst: My HHR. The low profile wheels are a nightmare if you drive anywhere that has, you know....asphalt roads. I hit one pot hole on the Mass Turnpike and blew two tires are once. The front window leaked. It had little power. The only good thing about that car was the seat warmers. I do miss those.
2003 Nissan Altima 2.5. It was my 5th Altima. Put 195,000 on it. NEVER had to align it. Only replaced rear shocks and brakes until 190,000 miles. Then I had to replace the coils, and the alternator went at 195,000. EVERYTHING else was original equipment (except tires, spark plugs, windshield wipers, brakes, lube changes, etc...). GREAT sound system and air conditioner. Great pick up. Decent mileage. 24 city/30 highway. It was my 5th Altima. Bought a Ford C-Max hybrid. Would have bought another Altima if they had a decent hybrid. Maybe the next one.

My best was a 1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo, R1 Avanti powered, power shift and twin traction. I used to eat Mustangs for lunch in high school!
Worst was a 1972 Chrysler Newport, big heavy boat that constantly fouled its plugs.
Best: 1980-ish Ford Bronco - full sized, 4 or 5 speed,
I don’t remember.
Ran like a top, could fit 14 kids in it for
movies and skating parties. I felt so macho driving it,
I always called it ‘My PE^!$ on Wheels’....
I finally sent it to live on a farm when the floorboards rusted too badly.
Worst: 1973 Triumph Spitfire Convertible. My ex-husband
bought it with the insurance money I had from maternity leave. It was a stick which I couldn’t drive at the time.
I never got to drive it, it was awfully cute, didn’t fit a car seat for the baby. Ex-hubby had to ‘pop’ start downhill, and one night it ran over his heel. I laughed.
Best car-My current daily driver 1992 chev silverado 1500 4x4. 279000 miles and still going. cheap (Except for mileage) and easy to fix.
My best and worst was one vehicle - a 1972 Series III Land Rover. With a winch, jack and chains it would go virtually anywhere in the north woods. However, it was mechanically a basket case needing a new exhaust manifold every 12,000 miles, electrical connections behind the dash that came loose from time to time (sometimes generating smoke), door lock tumblers that came out with the key, etc.

With that being said, my 1985 Honda CRX and my current 1995 Honda Del Sol with 220,000 miles are the best cars I ever owned. Unfortunately for the current Del Sol, the rear quarter panels are rusting out in front of the wheel wells.
the worst cars I ever owned were a 1978 MGB and and 1980 Pontiac Sunbird........
FWIW, only 2 cars (Hondas) in 28 years is pretty good. I have nothing bad to say about Hondas. (except for the 17 year rust-out...LOL!)
Worst: 1978 chevy monza kammback wagon. I learned how to fix cars with that damn thing. I replaced everything in the engine compartment at least once, including the motor. I sold it before the unibody rusted through and started to sag. There were 3 parts cars in the local scrapyard and I could find any one of them blindfolded.

Best. Nissan Frontier. Great pick-em-up truck. My only new vehicle. Loved it!
Favorite. Honda CRV. Traded in my picke-em-up for a family car that could fit a car seat. Very safe vehicle, low miles, great deal - and it reminds me that I have a little daughter who I love so much!
“You gave me a daughter, and I gave you my truck!”
Sounds like a Country-Western song. (We play BOTH kinds. Country AND Western!)
Chevy 327 four barrel carb, Impala, 1964. Gawd, I loved that car. Fast, handled well, four door, dark blue beauty. Best. Worst? Fiat 500.
Best: 2002 Cadillac DTS which I still drive.
Worst: 1978 Olds Omega. Paint peeled, AC refused to blow cold, V6 engine hesitated upon attempted acceleration. Engine would vapor lock even after I added an electric fuel pump.
Favorite: (first car) 1964 GTO. Fast as hell. Could easily have killed myself in it.
runner up favorite: 1974 Datsun 260Z. Replaced Hitachi’s with (3) Weber DCOE’s, cam, headers. Fast for a 6-banger.
Worst: 71 AMC Gremlin
