Best....1988 Toyota Supra...200 M.P.H. on I-75. I actually worked on the car , amazed that it all went right back in place.

Worst..1984 Z-28 Camero..literally rusted beneath me.

Best - '71 Chevelle - tweaked the speedometer eluding a CHP on the way home from high school. Unfortunately I wrecked it in the rain sliding off the road airborne for 60 feet, hit a tree and went 180 degrees backwards into a living room - the wall was right next to my eyes. Walked away without a scratch and the homeowner never contacted me about the damage...might have been the flat of pot plants he had.

Worst - '83 Datsun 310 GX - must have been a flood car because of the odor when it got wet. The shifter came off in my hand on the freeway, was able to use vice grips to shift to get it home.

Most fun - '94 Camaro - used to be known as the green streak on mountain roads. Went to Wyoming to get real fireworks one time, nearly 2000 mile round trip in less than a day...I'm a little more mature now. The last ex-wife spun it in the rain and bounced both sides off the guard rail...body shop did a great job but it was never the same. Traded it for a '96 Blazer, ugh.

Most reliable - '84 Isuzu Trooper - have taken it everywhere and have never gotten stuck, even the places my friends got out and walked 2 miles uphill out of a river gorge because they were scared. Still have it at 240,000 miles.

Nice, I always loved those Supras.

My best, 1986 Celica GT-S. Bought it with about 40K miles on it, drove it till it had 180K, nothing but routine maintenance and tons of smiles in between.

Worst: 1981 Mustang 4-banger. It actually wasn’t that bad a car (anemic, but reliable), but worst of the ones I’ve owned.
