That's a nice little car you have there... :D

I feel the same way. My car is definitely to most fun to drive of all the cars I have driven. (see sig)

Funnest would have to be a truck actually. While I've driven some 'fun' cars ('90 300ZX Turbo or early 90s RX7 probably being my favorites) zipping along in a sporty car just can't compete with slothing around in the mud and dirt in a 4WD (or even non-4WD) truck IMO.

Of the trucks, my favorites were my uncle's old Ford Bronco 4WD and my cousin's 4WD Toyota (pre-tacoma) pickup. Both were fun to go slothing around in when I visited my relatives out in the country. The Toyota was surprisingly tough and could take a beating with the best of them. He'd actually use it to go down the same trails the local city-slicker Land Rover guys would use (even got to bail one out one time which made his day :)) My brother had a 2WD Jeep Cherokee which he handled surprisingly well. He'd go off-roading with his friends in rough conditions and only RARELY would he get stuck (he and his friends both had winches.)

Well seing as I have driven a total of 5 cars in my life (I am only 16), I would say that the most fun was either a 96' Camaro which I got to drive for like a total of 5 min (before I had my license), or my parents 2000 Cadillac Escalade, which I get to drive quite often.

I have driven an awful lot of vehicles, some exotics (Lamborghini Countach and Diablo) but the most fun or coolest, whatever, had to be Interstate Highway Rescue truck for our local volunteer fire department. Turbo charged diesel, with lights and sirens. Traffic moves out of your way in a hurry!




Granted the Lambo's were only driven a few hundred yards and both under 35 MPH! (I used to work for an auto-detailing shop.)

My ML320 is fun to drive I suppose, but my dads 2002 vette and our BMW 1200 motorcycle take the prize.

Fastest car I've driven is my brother's supercharged '97 M3 (4.8s 0-60).

I had more fun driving the z4 he had as a courtesy car.

Bumper cars -- you're *encouraged* to piss off other drivers by going full speed into their sides, your rage fueled by the faint smell of ozone. And the best part is insurance is not required! What more could you ask for? :)

It's a toss up between a '61 Vette and a Viper.

They were both incredibly fun, in their own way. :)
