Before about a year ago I'd never ridden in a camaro before, one of my friends friends took me for a ride in his, for all the hype that thing was CHEEEEESY as hell, it was wet out and the kid was beating on it hard in order to get it to move it had an LT1. Then one of my friends at school took me for a ride in his LT1 right after he put new gears in the rear end, even though we werent beating on it it seemed ALOT better. The camaro feels like one of those kiddie carts at the grocery store theres so much plastic.

Most fun would have to be my stock 93 jeep wrangler. god I loved that thing and i have no idea what possessed my otherwise sane grandparents into letting me drive it for 2 years. It sort of ruined me in a way because i don't think i will ever find a vehicle that will take that kind of abuse. Ive had it airborne, submerged, wedged, sideways,all kinds of ---- and it never failed to start and drive home. inline 6 not only had enough power to beat most of the POS cars that my 16 year old friends had at the time but it was ------- bullet proof so when i would drive it home with the rad clogged with mud and the temp gauge pegged for a few miles it never once complained.

Worse was a 91 Nissan Maxima. it was so ------- hot for like 2 weeks, white gauges SE model V6 sunroof and a nice car to drive after teh jeep. and then in about a month i found out it needed like 3700 worth of ---- to pass VA inspection. come to find out my mom knew all sorts of ---- was wrong with the car but My step father didn't believe her so she would get a new car if she gave her old one to me. so Happy graduation chris you get a maxima. well it ran on 5 cyl since an injector was fucked, no bushings any where in the shifter left, you were lucky to get it out of park some days. it would unlock the doors without locking them right back so someday you would stand outside int eh cold for 5+ minutes just trying to get in the car. sometimes from stop lights the car would start moving and then just stop randomly after about 10 mph and just rev gently. it needed like 843 new pulleys on the motor so you had to shut it off inteh drive threw in order to hear. Car took some abuse though i didn't like 8K neutral drops in it on a regular. in fact about everytime it did that revving thing i would slip it into neutral and hold her on the limiter for a sec then whammo. tranny never slipped either but i still hated teh car. i left it in front of my house for about a week with the keys in it when i got a new one lol. i figure if it was stolen then i woulndt have to feel guilty for selling it lol.

worst car period? 1991 cutlass supreme. 12mpg from a 3.1, only first/second gear, subframe ripped through one side of the body, drivers door opened one day and fell on the ground. filled it with ATF instead of oil, drove it 20 miles to a junkyard, it locked up solid when i pulled in, couldn't restart it. they gave me $300 and the transmission for my f150 on top of the cash.

fun? tim's hx35 teg (3rd gear traction, or lack thereof), my '70 international(ripping the ---- out of anything it drove over, backing a shed over) '85 toyota pickup (3 bent rims, 2ft deep mud, and train tracks at 45mph) , and my old 2wd(blew all 4 shocks from 80mph road jumps)4wd f150.(massive burnouts/mall 4wd terror)

best car i've driven? '07 wrx with locking rear diff (**** on the center console to set diff split percentage), '07 350z,

Btw my lady's Saturn is built rock solid unlike the typical Sunfire, Cavalier, Neon, or other entry level dumbestic. I smashed my Civic's front end in and only put a scratch on her bumper. Thumbs up to the L200/L300 (v6 version) from me.

Funnest: my dad's old sohc neon, it was a '95 so it came stock with the mopar performance cam, he added some bolt-ons and a few suspension mods. It was the first car I ever drove hard and it handled amazing and scared me with how fast it was lol.

Best: my Capri, 2100 lbs and the first and only turbocharged car I've ever driven. I amde a 300 mile roadtrip with 6 blown oil seals, filled with 100+ pounds of books, all of my colthes and tools and a second set of wheels and tires. It took 5+ hours going under 55 the whole way and using 12+ quarts of oil

Most reliable: my step-dads oldsmobile, I drove it full throttle every where and slid around every turn and it never broke after 1.5 years

worst: my moms 01 Corolla, it accelerated faster at 1/2 throttle than full throttle and absolutely refused to rev over 4000 it sucked...

least reliable: my Capri, between rust and hard to find parts and *** wiring and shitty oil seals I think it is broken and leaking in the garage more often then it is boosting

best: black 69 vette with T tops and a late 80's 454 dropped in it.
worst: Any domestic truck, even modified. Any domestic car minus a corvette or the hyundai's we build down here in bama for that matter.
