I have had several favorite cars over the years.

My first was a 61 Impala 3 speed overdrive coupe, the first car I ever owned. It was great until I didn't stop when the guy in front of me did.

The next was my '65 Saab Monte Carlo which I rebuilt to a 1.5 litre tweaked to rallye specs after the 2 stroker died for the third time.
The speed topped out at more than 150 the one time I opened it up all the way. I ran out of speedometer before I ran out of the power curve.

Favorite of all time was the Citroen D type. It was a wonderful GT car, capable of cruising all day at 90 MPH and giving 25 mpg on regular with 5 bods on board. How many full sized vehicles can do that now?

My current favorites are my 96 Villager and Lady Hillary's 91 MR 2. My only problem with the MR2 is the noise level. Even the custom exhaust on the Saab, it was quieter than the 2. The van is ultrareliable, handles very well and is a real prime hauler. I use it to carry boats on top and tow as needed. It does it all without a complaint and asks for more.

Right now, we are contemplating renovating [not restoring] Lady Hillary's 71 Celica 5 speed fastback and putting it back on the road. It was her first car and was taken off the road a couple of years ago after failing inspection. The body needs a lot of work but the engine is ready now. Since she cannot seem to get up the nerve to get rid of it, it might as well go back on the road.
