What's the most fun car you've ever owned?

Hey Jim,

Those CJ's were awesome. I used to go to the dunes in a CJ-7. No doors, no roof, and front window down. There's nothing like it. The new Wranglers ditched the venerable straight 6 for a V6, dunno if that's a good thing or not. Say what you will about the 4 liter, it was as reliable as the sunrise, which is a lot more than I can say about most Chrysler products (and I've had 2 Grand Cherokees).

Uhh Jeff, there were only 200 true COPO Yenko's built. I'm very disturbed by the "used to own" part of your post. Please don't tell me he sold it! What in the world was he thinking?!?

[JeffBrecklin]

I dont know what he was thinking at the time i guess he needed mony but he told me that he is kicking himself for selling it.

My 1990 5.0L mustang 5 speed. The light back end and high torque at very little rpm made this car very exciting to drive. Of course at my age now, I like my cars a little more planted to the ground, you know, carrying presious cargo around (two kids). My mustang got stolen after only one year. The tires were already shot (just having some 19 year old fun) and I was shopping for new ones. So since my car was gone and i did not need to go shopping for new tires, I went shopping for a new car. A brand new 1992 5.0L mustang. Hey, I wasn't done having fun yet. My fun was done 2 years later and I sold it.

First one was a ratty '62 Sunbeam Alpine I picked up from a local for $225 when I was in the AF in Eglinn AFB, Fla. Had a wooden front bumper, the top was mostly duct tape and it ate a quart of oil every few days. Once, and only once mind you, smokd came out from under tha dashboard. I shut it off and tried to find the problem but didn't. When I turned it on it statted perfectly and the problem never reoccurred. Gotta love those Lucas electronics. They didn't call that guy the prince of darknedd for nothing.

A few years later I got hold of a well worn '66 Dodge Coronet 500. All the corners were dinged, the interior sould use a little work but the top was nice, at least until some little bahstads sliced it one night. Duct tape to the rescue. In the three yeaers I owned this, i never did a dang thing to it except to change a fanbelt once. Oil was changed by attrition.

It probably would have gone on forever except my girlfriend tried to straddle a Jersry divider on Rt 9 and eviscerated the front end.

The two rattiest cars I owned but, all in all, I never had more fun than with these two beaters. Maybe 'cause there was no need to be anal about 'em?
