someone asks you what your favorite car is?
How can I choose just one! ITS SO HARD.
I usually just pick a white F-40 and be done with it.

“I don’t have a favorite car. There are cars that I like, and cars that I dislike”
And then I have a meltdown when I see an 850R or something drive past.

pretty easy for me, I’ve been daily driving MR2’s for 10 years.
so my favourite car is obviously a Mondial.

I say that my favorite depends on what type of car they’re asking about. Usually for overall favorite I just pick a super car. Like this.

I usually just tell them I like most cars that aren’t Vauxhall Corsas.

“It depends...” or “You need to clarify your question”

That. That’s what I say.

I don’t have a favorite. Any car could have legend status. The ONLY car that i’ve seen in person that I actually felt total joy was an LFA. No car have done it since then.

Its like when people ask whats your favorite song.
“Um... well I kinda like this one right now.”

I’ll typically respond with “what kind of car?” On road, off road, old, new?

I will explain that it’s like asking somebody to choose their favorite child. If pushed I say a 1969 Mustang Mach I with a 428 Cobra Jet and a shaker scoop. That sort of specificity usually shuts them up.

Theres way too many that I would do illegal things for/in. But if I had to pick just one. It would be whatever latest and greatest under crossed flags.

Have you ever heard one in person though? When I was at a C&C my dad casually said to the owner of one "What would it take you to rev it" and the owner said "Not much." He got in it and I heard some amazing noise. I love the LFA.

Why not a ‘69 with the 390? jk jk

I just say McLaren P1 because it can corner at 2G which ends the conversation since I can’t be asked to explain why I can’t choose just one.
![]() 04/23/2015 at 20:06 |

I don’t have one. That’s like asking my favourite song. So I usually try to avoid common answers like the F40, Countach or F1. But to give an answer and not sound like a car Hipster I say BMW M5 E34.

Ever since I could recognize cars it’s been the 2nd Gen Viper GTS, preferably blue with white stripes

My reply is usually “It’s not that easy” And I leave it at that, because if they really know what they’re talking about they’ll ask a more specific question afterward and then we can talk.

My #2 is a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428. I’m one of the weird ones that prefers the 70 body to the 69. It’s something with the rear. Probably those concave taillights on the 70

How has this not been mentioned??
Come on people
![]() 04/23/2015 at 20:50 |

I’d take either one in a heartbeat but I like the ‘69 front just a touch better than the ‘70.

Usually I spaz out and say the X, no... wait, the Y! Or maybe, the Z, but only from 1996-1997, after that they ruined the engine.
![]() 04/23/2015 at 21:01 |

69 have better fronts. But most cars will only be seeing the taillights anyway

My answer is “almost anything made by McLaren”.

Favorite car? Like no restrictions? Favorite car, period?
If I have to pick a non-racecar, then it’s this:
Yeah, I’m pretty sure you can’t register it on U.S. roads but I DO NOT CARE.

I would’ve expected something a mite more exotic, to be honest, but the first car to come into my head when I considered the question was this old Peugeot:

I before I left working for Lexus, we got 2 in my dealer in San Antonio. They are incredible machines.

I was a master tech for Lexus as these came in. Spending the whole day with one was just epic

Usually I say a Viper because that really is my favorite car(and has been since the first time I saw a picture of one)
But if I know that they know a negative amount of information about cars I might say something crazy like, “the Ferrari Aventador PGTX1000 Twin Turbo Hypersport, duh!” to see if they believe me. If they don’t believe that, I may tone it down a bit and say, “Nah, I’m just kidding. My favorite car is actually the McLaren 918 Scuderia.”

At the NY auto show I said to my girl hey let’s go check out the McLaren booth to which she replied “Don’t they make strollers?” I laughed and said “Yeah strollers for rich grown men”.

I tell them “its the cars I could actually see myself in”. That usually shuts them up and stops them from trying to grill me on what a polyurethane bushing is.

They’re at least extremely reliable and the engine has a decent revvyness to it, so they redeem themselves a little. I still dont like driving them though.
