1. Honda Integra DA9 1991
2. Nissan 300zx 1992
3. Honda Prelude VTEC 1996 (Current)
4. Honda Accord CB7 1993 (Current)
5. Mitsubishi Starion 1982 (Current)

I know i haven't owned many.. but considering im just about to go on my opens and have owned 5 cars over a few years isn't to bad! :)

Would have to say the 300zx was the best so far.. being rwd and being able to do stupid shit.. miss the old girl but now the starion will replace her ;)

85 Mitsubishi Starion widebody, still have

My favourite but jinxed car was probably the 2.0L escort, side drafts, highly modified engine, Toyota 5speed had been setup for racing by a previous owner.
Other favourite one is this:


Got it in 03 and sold it after I found my widebody, got sick of both the interest in it and the flood of non turbo automatic versions which always ruins a cars desirability and resale.

I dont know if i could add all the cars I have owned.

The best ones were a 77 Corvette and a BMW M as far as fun cars go.

There was a white Starion that i modded to suit my needs and that was a good car as far as stazzes go.

I have a nissan micra now which costs nothing to run, tyres last ages, brakes last ages and it handles ok with the wheel tyre combo on it. I love small cars like this, they fit like a glove.

How about WORST CARS you have owned? Lets do a thread for that so we know what to avoid.

[SIRIUS]

69 valiant regal 245... first car an you'se to blow off many of the common whores at school.
69 chrysler vip... so much room, so much luxury an when you took it sideways it would hold it self at a 50 degree angle an comeback so gracefully.
82 ja starion. found it impossible to loose from what i was use too. definately a very fun car to drive. an fell in love with its unique looks.
75 valiant wagon (genuine 360) huge boat. but fit so many tools in there. a wheel barrow would go in with so much room. an with a mild xe268 cam, manifold an a little head work would leave my mates vu ss with cat back system in the dust.
79 vb commonwhore. with a nicely built 208. was reliable an fairly fast for a old red 6. but couldnt justify that it used more fuel than my 360.
73 valiant charger e55 (340) the dream car an the cream de la cream. itll give the starion a good run through the hills. an power that comes from the stock motor really has to be seen to be believed. especially the rev capabilitys :O unbelievable for a stock v8.
93 ford falcon station wagon. old reliable :) it gets me from A-B, drives so smooth, nice torquey motor, an great on fuel.

Basically all shit box's lol. If I were to pick one to have back It would probably have to be The VL or the 86 Piazza Turbo. That car was Mint, It had full history to show It was owned by holden as the first "holden" badged piazza. The original plates were 1UPONU 'One up on you' Was red with the factory Formula Kit and roof. I brought the car from my parents as my first car and with only 100K on the clock. There is under 50 of them left registered in the country and mine would of probably been the best If I didnt sell it to my mate and he smashed it. :(. I know they were labled as a Lemon but I still loved it.

Plus my bikes (Not including dirt bikes);

KTM 400 LC4
CBR250RR
Cbr250R
Suzuki Across
Suzuki GSXR600
Suzuki Across (Again, and still current)

1990 Nissan Nomad (lol :P)
1989 Mitsubishi Magna (extractors, exhaust, King SL's, 14x5.5 GH Scorpion stockies)
1973 VJ Chrysler Valiant (318, 727, Charger wheels)
1981 VC Commodore (253, 4spd manual, locked diff, VN V8 front suspension/brakes, 15x7 BBS RS from a BMW 5-series)
1984 Nissan Skyline (216.4rwhp L26, 280ZX 5-spd, Exedy 4-puck clutch, KDR30 stoveplates, modified S13 front crossmember, rack and pinion conversion, Silk Road S13 front coilovers, S13 SR20DET front brakes, custom rear coilovers, KAAZ 2-way LSD, Bride Zeta II front seats, KDR30 interior, 15x8 +10, 15x8 +0 rebarrelled steelies)

1985 Toyota Cressida (6MGE, W58, Pedders springs/shocks, 15x8 +25 Enkei 92)
Current-
1981 Mitsubishi Scorpion (4G52, narrow KM132 5-spd, 4.6:1 diff gears, EL Falcon King SSL's, R31 Skyline front shocks, TE Magna wagon rear shocks, MOMO deep-dish steering wheel, HKB boss kit, 14x6 +5 Hotwires front, 14x7 +0 Centrelines rear)
1980 VC Commodore (202, Trimatic, rear muffler delete, basically your average bone standard daily POS lol)

Favorite is the Skyline, by far. Such an awesome car to drive, and the note of that L-series singing it's way past 7500rpm was intoxicating. Like nothing else I've ever heard. The Chaser runs a close second, though. It was comfortable, easy to drive, and had enough power to munch LS1 Commodores like they were nothing.
My Scorpion's fun, but it's slow. I was overtaken by an Exa the other day. A non-turbo Exa, at that.

I've had a few bikes too, I used to race offroad, did the Condo 750 3 times and was in training for the Finke when I stacked, wrote my bike off and landed myself in hospital.

Previous:
1998 Honda XR100 (First bike, was 9 :S lol)
1994 Yamaha YZ125
1998 Yamaha YZ250WR (basically a road-registerable YZ250, my first race bike)
1999 Yamaha WR426- traded the 250 on this. Good fun, wasn't quite able to keep up with the 450's though.
1992 Honda CR500- The Beast. Sold the WR426 for this, put XR lights on it, was my third and final race bike. Munched the 450's in open country, but it handled like a boat in the tight stuff.

Current:
1980 Yamaha XS250- Currently in the process of doing this one up. Going for a clean, stock-looking bike, with a few tweaks.

Looking at getting another enduro bike, probably either an XR650 or a KTM 300EXC. I'm not getting back into racing, too expensive, but there's enough firetrails in the state forest bordering my uncle's property to keep me occupied for a good long while :)

[thrash]

...mine would of probably been the best If I didnt sell it to my mate and he smashed it. :(. ...

[NachoMan]

I will not include those cars bought for parts, as they were never driven.
Current cars are in bold

1. 1980 Chrysler/Mitsubishi GH Scorpion - I still miss it.
2. 1984 JA Starion - shit heap, should've turned me off Starions. Didn't.
3. 1982 JA Starion - shit heap but cheap. Has good bits including a computer.
4. 1993 CC Lancer GLXi coupe - the best value for money car that I've owned. Handled well, went pretty well, and was easy and nice to drive.
5. 1986 GSR-V Starion - the nicest Starion I'd ever seen and driven, that's why I bought it.
6. 1986 Chrysler Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion Hybrid bastard Widebody - cost a lot, spent a lot, fixed a lot, but turns heads everywhere it goes, and I always get asked about it.
7. 2001 Proton Satria GTi - so much fun to drive.
8 .2001 Proton Satria GTi Turbo - as above but with POWER! Awesome car.
9. 1997 Nissan Stagea - like a limo. So nice to drive.
10. 1994 Toyota MR2 GT-S turbo - SOOO good even in stock form.

My favourite would be the MR2 for the way it looks and drives.
My past favourite would be either the Scorpion or the GSR-V Starion.

[MitsuMadness]

Niss720 - I love those Nissan 720 ute's! I had a 4x4 version as a paddock masher two years ago until it rusted so bad that when I rammed another car with it, my foot went through the floor with the accelerator pedal, and the wipers fell through the firewall, and the A pillar crumbled! Wasn't even a hard hit haha.
