What was the favorite car you ever owned?

This is (exactly like) my baby:




1978 Triumph Spitfire. Currently she's not feeling well. I looked at her wrong and something went to shit, as it does every time you look at one of them wrong. Still attempting to deduce exactly what. LBCs are certainly an interesting type of car to own. They're so much fun to drive but can be such a freaking hassle to keep road worthy. Only 86,000 original miles. Not too bad for a '78. Definitely not a year-round car in Colorado, but I can usually get drive time in from April (March if I'm lucky) through September. Some years even into October or November. I've not yet driven a car that's more pure fun than this one. It's quick, nimble and sticks to the road in corners like it's on rails.

My stepdad had an old TR-6. Great car to drive, on the two days a week it felt like moving. Electrical issues out the wazoo.

Going back to my old Z, one thing I loved about it was that it had a touch of understeer built in to the geometry and CG, which when coupled with a torquey inline-six, meant that blasting through three-dimensional roadways was easy -- you could slide through a sharp turn and when the road straightened out, lift off the gas and the back end lines up as quick as you'd like, with no fuss.
