1994 Nissan 300ZX TT. Wish I still had it 
My 2012 Mustang Shelby GT500
First and only car I ever ordered straight from the factory to my exact specs.
This car is pure adrenaline on wheels! Always wanted a convertible, and with this car, that experience has never disappointed. The only sad part of owning it, is winter storage time, not being able to drive it for several months, but that does make it feel like getting a new car again every spring!
The car can be like a wild beast behind the wheel if you're not careful, but respect the power, know the risks of its raw setup (having a live rear axle), and you'll have nothing but smiles!

Sorry to be a noob, buy whats a GTR? And you're referencing 240's ... like Datsyun relics?
Nissan Skyline GTR, it brought AWD to the GTR (The modern Nissan GTR is also known as Godzilla because of this car)
The 240's reference, yes that would be the Datsun 240z

I need to dust off my old racing gamesNissan Skyline GTR, it brought AWD to the GTR
You're right about the rear diffs too. I wrecked the 92 Yukon GT because of that

Probably my first car which was a 1992 Acura Legend. What a smooth driving car that was even when it was 10+ years old. I now understand why Ludacris still loves his.
I've never really owned anything sporty though.

Best car generally? Very easily my current ride: 2012 Civic Si.
Most loved? Tie between that and the 73 TR6 I had a little more than 20 years ago. So much fun. Just had personality. And the guy I got it from was a British car mechanic who specialized in TR6's, so it had a little extra Worcestershire sauce under the hood. Also one of the worst financial mistakes I ever made in my life. Actually got so bad it was looking like my marriage was at risk...then one night a drunk driver came around the corner at 2am in his Yukon and utterly destroyed the car. One of the few nights I had parked it on the street...but in the end I needed the money a lot more than the car.
Basil. I had named it Basil.

My blue 1974 Torino. It got 25 mpg on the highway and had a 26.5 gallon tank.
It was roomy, had AC, and rode like a limo. I could pack most of my earthly belongings in it.
It was my first car.
I drove it about 60,000 miles to places like Wyoming and New York. Then it went to a good home.

I used to have small cars when I was younger. 10 years ago I had a Sierra double cab with the 8 feet Lear box. Front suspension redone, this huge vehicule rides like a smooth old Cadillac.
One of my favorite small car I had was a 1984 Scirocco. I also had a 1973 Capri before that. I liked my Subaru Legacy '98 with the 2,2 engine. Tough car, good 4x4 transmission, great on snow, only bad point the suspension was a bit rude.
Today I have maybe the best car I ever had. It's a big SUV with a diesel engine that have 379 torque. It's quite confortable, it rides like a big marshmallow suspension.

My 09 M5, had it for a little over six years now. I'm ready for a new toy now (ZL1 maybe?), but don't really see selling the M5 to make room for it.

My fam just got the Tesla Model Y. Damn that car is sick. Now I want a new car, but i don’t have any money.
Probably an 87 300ZX. Just a fun little car to drive until some old man with a dog made a right turn into me and just demolished the front passenger side.
edit: the Z was probably my favorite. The best is probably the 11 Outback we still own and drive. Just normal maintenance, absurdly safe, and reliable.
My first car was a 90 Corsica LTZ with the 3.1 in it. It took so much abuse. Really enjoyed it and a great first car for a high school kid.

2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited.
Bought it brand new back in '14, made a few cosmetic changes but it drives like a dream.
I got the original engine up to 409,000 km, when it died on me. But the car still looks so great and drives well so I just bought another engine a year ago. It has 22,000km on it (practically new), had it installed and I'm still driving it today. Never been a Hyundai guy, but love this ride.

Bought a 93 pathfinder 7 years ago for $500 and still have it ,my GF drives it mostly. Crazy good in snow ,runs like a top and I've only put a starter in it.
Has 250k miles on the clock ,incredible.
From late 80s early 90s I see more hardbody trucks and pathfinder than any other model from that era.
These things refuse to die.
