Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 for me, god those front seats were comfy, and the rides to high school were awesome as she is always late and overly aggressive when driving.

It's a tie between her first car, a 1978 Camaro, and her current, a 2013 Volvo XC60.

Her last car was pretty cool, a 2009 ford flex, but it certainly wasn't the coolest.

The best was a 1968 Pontiac LeMans convertible

She also had a german domestic market 86 Celica, a 2001 Wrangler, a 2003 Rubicon, and I'm going to give her a 72 Cutlass S when I finish restoring it.

Hard one to pick for me..

But I'll go with a 1995 Taurus Wagon. Only wagon she's owned.

2006 Honda Civic

Before that was a 2002 Chevy Malibu, before that was a 2000 Dodge Caravan (shared with my dad) and before all of that was a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird.

So compared to what was before it's quite obvious the civic is superior.

Yeah a 4 cylinder turbo. Sadly it's not the straight 6 from the 335d.

1983 Pontiac Trans Am T-top. Gray on Red with the gold honey comb wheels, and the last year carbureted 350. She sold it when she and my dad moved to Germany. Promptly started driving an ancient Opel Kadet.

Through my existence, my mom has had:
- 1989 Civic
- 1992 Accord
- 1996 Volvo 850 T-5
- 2002 BMW 325xi
- 2003 BMW 325xi (first one totaled)
- 2009 Audi A5 3.2
- 2015 Audi A5 2.0 Cab

The Audi is nice and all, but I have to say, the 850 was probably the coolest.

Her two current cars, a 1999 NB Miata, a row-your-own of course, and her 1965 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. When I was 10 or so, she had some Audi of sorts, but I don't remember what kind. It was a 1980-something I think, mid-late 80s. Very squared design, I remember, and it was also a stick. Also, her '99 Jaguar XJ8 would be nice as well, if it were running.

Either a 1992 Dodge Daytona ES or a 1994 Saturn SC2. Both were teal. And I never saw either in the flesh. Her car history has been pretty boring.

She might have had a 70-something V8 Malibu. I might be dreaming though.

Her dream car is a CTS-V Coupe, so that counts for something, right?

'79 Buick Century wagon. Blue. Had cool "4.9 LITRE" badges on the fenders.

Looked like this (found on GIS) after we were rear ended and pushed into what I now think was a old Mazda RX-3 or 4. It was green with four round tail lights.

Even had the same wheel covers.

It was replaced by a brown '78 Century wagon. Like this. Except it never had hubcaps. Or euro side repeaters.
