There is alot of cars that I have wished that I have owned. Some that I've looked at and thought "that is one beautiful car" Also there have been some that I've thought "thats got to be the ugliest one I've ever seen.

1. Dream car
2. Most beautiful
3. Ugliest

Have you owned the one you love the most?....within reason, we all can't afford exotic sports or luxury cars.

I have owned some real lemons and some that that I wish I never got rid of. I miss my 70 Chevelle, my Golf GTI. and still own one of my favorites. 94 Chevy S-10 SS

Its in storage for now until I can rebuild it again, a bit more the way I want it.
I also miss my bike

1. Volkswagen Beetle
2. 57' Chevy
3. Yugo

I haven't owned any of these cars before. In fact, I haven't had any car before. The autism specialist who diagnosed me said that it would be a bad idea for me to drive, so I never learned.

I love classic cars like the Beetle and the Mini, but if I were to go for something more modern, this would be my choice:

Or one of these...

1 & 2 would usually be a classic morgan 4/4 but I would change it in an instant if they ever get around to building the morgan life car.

Number 3 is any car not built by morgan. :P

I already own my dream car. Pretty much.

Image My 1984 Celica Supra. Got it for $1500, but I blew the motor. Hopefully I can get a motor in it that's harder, better, faster and stronger soon. I don't know, I wanted Takumi's AE86 from Initial D when I was a kid, but discovered the Celica Supra and thought it was the coolest looking thing since cars were invented, and yeah. I guess the only thing I desire now of it is 500hp or so, good suspension, wheels, tires, etc. And a subwoofer, too. Hopefully I can build it to that.

My only other car I kinda lust after is a Nissan Skyline R32. That'd maybe be dream dream car.
Image
The R32 Skyline to me of all the generation Skylines, looks the cleanest. Well, the R30 and R31s sorta looked better in some ways to me, but the R32 just like "has it." That, and the performance potential is great. It's lighter than all the other later generation Skylines, and stock the RB26 can be taken to 500 or more HP without a hitch, and it's got a great AWD system. I'd love on with like 800hp or whatever. I've been watching too much Wangan Midnight, speaking of Wangan Midnight, I'd love a 240Z ala Akio's, too, but so far I'm fairly content with my Supra.

As far as ugliest, it's kinda tough for me. I try to find the good in all cars, I love cars, even crappy cars. Hmm, let me think. I can't really think of it in ugliness, as there's lots of ugly cars I can appreciate for other reasons. Like even Yugos are a knockoff of a once successful Fiat I believe, and have potential in rally racing, etc. Plus I like boxy things. I'd have to say my least favorite cars, as in, the most boring to me, Chevrolet Celebrity and Ford Tempo. I can't think of too much really good in those cars, that's redeeming about them, both were made as boring disposable cars on outdated technology in the 80s by American companies that were being way too conservative in their business models and practice. Yep.

I'll stop now, cars is my special interest, and yeah. I tend to emotionally attach myself to cars I own, and also, I get sad walking in junkyards and stuff, seeing the destroyed cars people forgot about, all dead due to human idiocy. People say a car is the closest thing a man can create to another person, I'd have to say that's true.

My favorite car is the Mini Cooper, it's small, efficient, and handles very well, and the sports model comes with 130hp (the stander one comes with 113hp) 8)
Image

As for looks my favorite is, and always will be, the 1964 Pontiac GTO.
Image

As for the ugliest, ladies and gentlemen, the smart car

Note: I have never owned a car, but I have driven my moms mini cooper.

1. Nissan GT-R

I could think of more, but I decided to stick to models currently in production.

i loved AMC Pacers when they came out, and wanted one in the worst way-
Image
but by the time i could afford one, they were mostly gone to junkyards, with the prime specimens all in collector's hands.
also this Chevy Monza was tasty, even though i knew it was just a hastily reskinned vega with a tiny v8 crammed under the hood-
Image
my fave car in general-
Image
boxiness made for a compact exterior but a roomy interior with excellent sight lines. they rode very well also.
