Here's a shot of mine (on the right) during a "Cannon Ball Run" trip we did across the US several years ago. Many good times in that car...

Wife's winter beater is a 95 Olds 98 with a 3800... Got to love that Buick V6!

Best car at the time for me was a 1986 Mercedes 190e 2.3 16V......this was a precursor to today's AMG cars. Only came in 2 colors (Smoke Silver and Pearl Black). I had a manual tranny car and at the time the car was exactly the perfect amount of HP for my driving ability. Lots of fun, predictable handling and great brakes. Did some TrackTime events in the car at Sebring and always had a blast. I sold it to a buddy and he ruined the car as a daily driver/commuter car. Car went almost 200K miles before he traded it on a new Honda. Car still had original motor/tranny. A/C broke seemed like every other summer and the car was gutless around town, had to keep the revs up to keep it alive.
I almost traded it for an 88 BMW M5, should have done that deal since I still turn my head when I see those original M5 cars! On paper the values were within a couple dollars of each other but the dealer wouldn't budge.....with good reason the M5 was a beast compared to the 2.3 16V!

Funny, I sold the 944T for an '88 M5! Incredible sedan. Should have never sold it.

My 2001 chevy astro with the 4.3 v-6. Still got and love. I call it it my money machine. Its perfect for all my service calls, small remodels, it will even fit a a full 4 x 8 sheet in it. Its fully loaded with heat and ac in rear and when i plan a spur of the moment bonzi run to go to a race or something its like a queen size bed in the back. im not cheap by any means, but sometimes i have a hard time paying 300 bucks for a room when im only gonna be in it for 6 hours. Call me what you will, but i enjoy the whole camping experience sometimes
