First car I owned was a 1979 GMC Suburban. Ex-contractor's truck - had holes in the wheel wells big enough that birds used to fly up in it when I parked it. Nothing cooler than opening the door, seeing a bird in it, and having to open the cargo doors and scare it so it flies out. At least until I boxed in the wheel wells with built in "tool boxes."

Favorite car I've owned is one of the Malibus, the 3.1 for guts, the 2.2eco for peppy fuel economy.

Favorite car I've ever driven - that's tough. Chev Z71 pickup and VW Jetta for different reasons (my beanpole body fit well in the truck, and the Jetta I was amazed at how smoothly it ran with an odometer that read about the same as the US National Debt.)

Car I thought I'd like more than I did - Cadillac Catera. It's a rebranded Opel, maybe I just had set too high a bar.
