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.....

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.
