Now that we're talking cars just forget about class, style, crappiness.
Most fun!
Citroën 2CV. Unfortunately it burned before I could take a pic of it. :(
Odd gearbox, amazing cornerspeed, great roof, amazing ventilation, cool flabbable windows, babe magnet, suspension has a shaggscale of 10.

I've had several cars....I had a camaro once...it was nice to drive because it looked pretty...but I didn't have any 'control' over it....most of my other rigs had front wheel drive....I would say...either my 4x4 toyota truck or 4x4 Kia Sportage (I know I know!:) You could take them anywhere...although....in my younger years when I I could do with those little stump-jumpers...mind you..this was when I used to drink Tequilla and 'before' I had children :)

Well, of all the cars I've driven/owned, I have to say my current one is the most fun to drive. It's definitely not a muscle car, or a performance car of any kind - just a Chevy Z24 - but since I had never had a convertible before I got it last summer, I'm loving it! Besides, it lends itself to photography pretty well. ;o)

Now THIS is fun!
My daily commuter, a 1995 honda ST1100 with 97,000 miles on it. Will beat a C6 vette in acceleration, but gets 50 mpg.

Amen sister! I would love to have my old Miata again -it was black on black-, only this time with the new Turbo package. SO much fun at this time of year! |

More fun than I can handle! I'm sure it's a rush, and at 50 mpg it makes a lot of sense too (but stay safe)! |

Best driver's car I ever owned was a 1997 BMW 330 IS coupe. I still miss that baby. And it was good for 30 mpg on freeway at high speed. I owned an early 60's E-type Jag, and that was bitchen fun to drive but it wouldn't run reliably for long. It was more fun than my first car, which was a 56 Porsche, and also fun.
Robt.

| I had a lifted supercharged silverado Z71 back in the time I used to live in tampa. Now that kicked soime serious butt. I loved playing on big open fields on my way home from the constructions sites! Especially on rainy days, LoL!. Dougnuts and lots of mud! |

Oh, Man! was that the one with the sort of rattan seats on the floor? I had a ride in one once in NYC, (many years ago) and never forgot it!) Seems to me we used to call that car the "plumber's nightmare" because of its unusual components.
The best car I ever had was an MG-TD, but my little Prius drives like an MG and gets better gas mileage. Unfortunately the top doesn't come down or off on the Prius. |

French cars really are a bit odd. But they do have ones of the best suspension sets ever made. A friend of mine has a citroen ZX dakar, a road car designed for rallies, with a 4cyl engine pumping up 168hp! That's a lot for a 4 cyl car (well a 98 civic VTI has 160hp and it's runs a 1.6liter engine).
It amazing how much horsepower u can extract from a small engine, given the circunstances (in Brazil ppl go for the economy, making the 1.0 liter cars the most popular in the country). My old chevrolet kadett (not sold in the US marked, it resembles a VW golf, somehow) would give me 210hp, on a 2.0 8valve engine, only by using a turbocharger with 1.2bar pressure. Not saying that I was a racing maniac, but it would easily outrun a camaro, for example up to 3rd gear. Top speed is something else. I used to do some drag-racing, back that's in the past (when daddy could afford it LoL). Maybe someday when I'm "rich" I'll be able to get back to races again. Closed enviroment of course! No street racing for me.......

The 2CV was a lot of fun. It looked like a miniature garage made of corrugated tin. I don't recommend making out in one, though. The stick shift had a most peculiar shape and placement. The improv Safari chairs which posed as seats were a far cry from Lombar support and low enough to keep a close eye on the glove department (I kept used wine corks in mine).
It's charm consisted of an idea. I think the idea was to be able to get around in a thing that didn't look at all like a car - or anything else, for that matter.

I loved my Yamaha venture touring bike.
I had an RX-7 for a while, it was fun while it lasted. No pics online right now of it.
Currently i have a Jeep Wrangler - it can be fun, like today whan it was 76 degrees out!
Links are for pics only, no use filling this thread up with off=site pics.
