Hmmm, my BEST vehicle(s) I've ever owned would be our daily driver/commuter cars... 2008 Yaris sedan and 2012 Yaris 5-door hatch. Bought both new. Cheap, SUPER reliable, 42-45mpg average, everything works/feels like new on the 2008 with 100+k miles. Love my 2007 Tundra and 2008 RX350 also and have been ultra reliable but they can't compete with cars that only cost $13k and consistently get 42+mpg.

Most fun vehicle would be a tie. My 1969 Barracuda fastback and my prostreet 1999 Z28. I had a blast with them both.

Tough call, but my 1970 Maserati Ghibli was up there. Was clocked at 120 and when I saw the police I just kept going since I figured they would lock me up and throw the key away. 20 miles down the road I was stopped, but the cop who clocked me thought it was a Jaguar so when I produced the registration I was let go. It was a great car, but the technology in my AMG blows away the Ghibli. Here are pics of then and now.

It is a great car but 256 HP isn't what it used to be (last M5 had 500 HP!). Most of the 88's on ebay, roundel are beaters that have hundreds of thousands of miles on them. The rare ones had black interior (think Canada got most of them).

The 2000-04 M5's are cool too! The bright blue or carbon black look the best. The 2006-2011 M5's might be fast but they just weren't great looking cars.

My first...1956 Chevy Belair 2 door Sedan. Bought from a high school teacher for $350. I put a 350 horse 327 and M-22 4 speed from a totaled '65 'vette in it and painted it. Car would run mid 13's in the quarter and smoke most stock muscle cars of the day.

God I loved that car...wish I still had it.
