Hmm well my list isn't very long but I got a couple interesting cars
I've attached the actual pictures of them as well for your viewing pleasure :P
1. 1988 Acura Integra RS - Rolled it 4 times into a ditch
2. 1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE - Had 135k miles on it but looked like a brand new car
3. 1989 Ford Mustang GT - 302 bored out to a 306 with 4:11 gears
4. 1997 Honda Accord EX V6 - Great car until I rear ended a lady in a POS Dodge Caliber
5. 1988 Ford Mustang GT - Stock block with long tube BBK Headers and Flowmaster Exhaust
6. 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS - Stock with 203k on the odometer with a new heart.
Which one was the nicest I've owned? I cant even decide..

My 04 is both my DD and fun car =)
My other DD with my first car was a black 1997 Plymouth Breeze
My other past fun car is my 1986 Monte Carlo SS dirt car
I still have both but my dad drives the Breeze so I can't use it as a DD =(

Ohhhhh...I'm right there with you on that one! Each of my cars have their own unique characteristics that make it the nicest, but none really takes the lead, per se.....
*grins*
I can attest to that, with my '76 MC. lol

All my cars have been my DD's, which I have fun in too. LOL
-89 Chevy Silverado 3/4 Ton (my Dad's owned it since new, still has it. I drove it for first 2.5 years I had a license) GREAT truck!
-03 Chevy Cavalier LS Sport Coupe, I loved this car, it was sporty, 5 Speed, Quick, and reliable as hell. I totaled it though....
-06 Chevy Monte Carlo, this is my favorite car of all. The most comfortable, fastest and most fun to drive. LOVE IT!
I really have loved all of my cars though, they have all be great cars.
