Since I'm pretty dedicated to the same shit all I've actually owned myself are some S10s and a Camaro, but I've driven many cars.

 

Thanks to Doc my favorite handling car is a Lotus Elise (four wheeled motorcycle)

and his SL600 is the hardest pull for any stock car over 150mph

My Camaro was the most fun sideways

and my S10 is just the best at me not caring.
