Hehe, well we have to put this in perspective for me then.
Lived in the "less fortunate" area of the city with broke parents. Still a car nut, so worked since I was 13 saving up for cars of all things....I couldn't even drive them. Bought ever $100-$300 car I could, simply because they didn't last long.
Bought VW's because they were fun, incredibly easy to fix, and dirt cheap. Then rallied them to their death, most died smacking into trees, one rolled into a raveen.
Actually when I really get down to thinking about it. I've only sold one car, my 88 Dodge Daytona. Every other vehicle has met some impending doom, either from crazy women turning lefts in front of me, to large pine trees out in the forest. The best probably being my Jetta 4dr that through a pin and shot my #2 piston out of my hood.
Now if I had to pick my favorite vehicles that would be easy:
84 Merkur XR4 - like I said tons of fun with 18psi, scared lots of Mustang owners
69 MG Midget - fun but 12V neg electrical is a pain in the rear
82 Scirroco - best rally car I've ever had, and also crazy fast for a little car
and of course last but not least my 92 SVX LS-L
