Let's talk cars

[Benton]

The best car you ever had...
Man, that is tough. Love my current car (13 Juke) for the complete opposite reasons I loved a 90s model Ford Bronco. It was the Eddie Bauer edition, so it had lots of bells and whistles for the times, but it was pretty much just plain compared to most new cars. Was just a huge 'go anywhere' rig. The Juke is like driving a go kart with all sorts of options. Also loved my 2003 Ranger extra cab. You just threw what you wanted in it and went wherever.

The worst car...
1987 Camaro. I spent more time working on it than driving it. And it was a wreck magnate. It got hit six times, nearly totaled twice and only once was it operator error (I looked off the road and drove it through a ditch; no real damage, but ditch was full of mud and buried half the car).

Your first car...
1987 Camaro

Brand loyalty...
Hmm. Probably Ford. Although I'm on my second Nissan and no complaints.

The cars your parents had when you were growing up...
Trucks, camaros (I live in the South). My mom had a 1986 Ford Tempo she drove forever as a work car.

Thunderstorm

I would never drive a...
Nothing. I'd be least likely (brand wise) to drive a Chevy. Too many craptastic ones over the years. Honestly, the only good one I owned was a 69. I restored it during high school. It was the only Chevy (including a brand new Grand Prix) that never left me on the side of the road.

My first brand new car...
Mitubishi Eclipse. I was 19 or 20, working construction for cash during the day and managing a grocery at night. Money was awesome and like every kid with a roll in his pocket, I just had to have a new car. There wasn't much "cool" at the time, and that was the closest thing. Not a bad car, though.

Then I got a real job and couldn't afford payments any more and sold it.
