To answer the question, best vehicle I owned of the many, it had to be my 64 Lincoln .
Most fun I had in my younger years ,was my 1972 Challenger 340 4 spd,bought brand new.Had that car for 8 years and chicks loved it.
Fast forward , I enjoyed my 1996 Mustang GT for 12 years.
Having a lot of fun with my 1999 GTS .

In terms of pure raw fun, 01' Viper ACR w/ mods. Think I have some pics on an external drive somewhere. Brutal on the track and street.
In terms of most reliable, surprisingly 00' V8 Mountaineer, bought new still have it lol. Keep it around as a beater and for moving stuff, towing smaller loads etc, no problems. Even more reliable then Lexus owned lol.
edit - Nice S/B Spectras, looking forward to the new gen. Hopefully they bring back combos like S/B or steel grey etc.

79 VW Dasher wagon, actually 2 totalled cars cut and welded into one. Could sqeel hitting second and the seats folded flat for the ladies. Had a couple low 9sec Mustangs and a BMW 328 daily driver but still have great memories of the VW.

Toss up:
1983 Monte Carlo LS w/ T-Tops. It was my first car, thru High School; and first few months in the Air Force. It started knocking a rod in my Senior year, and we reubuilt the 305 as a 327; and I had the infamous Cragar SS Mags on it before I gave it to a girl, for all the wrong reasons. I miss that car every single day; with memories from Chicago to Texas in that car.
1987 Trans Am w/ the L98 Corvette 5.7L. I got this car while I was in the AF. All my friends had IROCs and 5.0L Mustangs; but the T/A was classy. It had every option that a GTA would have, except the original owner didn't like the GTA color choices. It too, had T-Tops; and a killer 6 channel (rare at the time) stereo system installed by the original owner. I have memories in that one from Chicago to Bloomington (IU), to Maine, to DC, to Charlotte.
To add: I don't see ever giving up my 7.3L PSD dually.

Probably my 2008 Corvette Z06. Way more car than I was driver. My wife finally sent me to Bondurant's for their 4-day grand prix driving course. It was 3-days in a Vette with the last day in a formula car. I would recommend it to all. No stories to tell about the Z06. Nobody ever tried to race me.

Lots of great responses!
Sydwayz - I'm with ya, would be hard to give up my 7.3. Might be slow compared to all the new stuff but she pulls good and keeps on ticking.
I also have an 88 944 Turbo that I have had for 11 years. It's not stock anymore, and at 22 lbs of boost it will hold it's own with most cars on the road
Still one of my all time favorite cars.
