The favorite vehicle I've owned is my John Deere 2520 4wd tractor.

Second favorite was my John Deere 650 bulldozer with 3-way 8 ft blade.

Third was my Chevy 2500 4wd truck.

Fourth (I've not ever owned) would be a 1969 or so Shelby Mustang Mk-I

I really don't have a "favorite vehicle". All of my vehicle purchases have been purpose driven more than driven by "cool" or other factors.

I guess if I could have a "favorite" that I've never owned it would be a Carman Ghia convertible (I've owned a 68 Beetle). At least I can work on the engine...

That's a really cool car! I really like the color. My daughter bought a brand new bright red Mustang with a manual transmission in 2015 and brought it over to show it to me. She offered to let me drive it, so off we went! I told her I was very surprised at how much power it had for a six cylinder. She laughed and said "Dad, it's a four cylinder!" :o

I think that auto manufacturers have done a pretty good job with the retro-look cars such as the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Thunderbird, Prowler, etc. It's great that they are building some with muscle too!
Of course, there really is no substitute for the real thing. Here is my daily driver:

It's a 1967 Camaro coupe with 350 HP, 350 CI, and TH350 automatic. It's not my favorite, though. That would be my first car, which I have owned since 1969; a bone stock, fully restored 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad. :D

Well, I could say this one since I've had it since 1978.

But really it's the baby of the family as I've only had it since 1982.

Obviously there is very little cross over between one that goes really fast (tickets to prove it) and one that goes anywhere. So...

That is a very cool car. I have an 09 mustang GT had injectors, cold air system, and a stage II tune installed didn't touch internals got 408hp to the rear wheels. Yesterday had to buy new tires for it...again. :mrgreen:
