I can actually say I love 80 ~ 88 Toyota pickups as much as Mopar's !!! the 22R /re the best dependable longevity engines EVER made!!! I still have the first (88 2w pickup) I bought 25 years ago with 4 hundred thousand miles on it and still don't use a drop of oil!!!!!!!!!!!!! i currently have 8 Toyota pickups 5 4x4s and 3 2wheel.one is all original 70 k miles and has a dump bed (more for show) once raised its all-stainless steel underneath .. lifted 6 " i call this one Mighty Mouse. The others are all just drivers ... can't go wrong picking them up when they pop up in the 1000 ~ 1800-dollar range ... for about 500 $ you can get all the ball joints uppers lowers shocks wheel cylinders brakes. All the tie rod ends. and then your good to go !! if you do ever have to do a timing chain its 4 hours for the 22R maybe 6 on the RE I sometimes wonder if the boxy shape is why i like the look of both Toyotas and Mopar's? every one of my family has borrowed one of my Toyotas and at times i have two loaded out. the family knows they are there and its why are.

I bought my C5 Z06 new in 2004 and I'll probably never sell it. It's one of, if not the best driver's cars I've ever been behind the wheel of.

1966 Chevelle SS. When I was growing up, my brother who was 18 years older than me bought a new 66 4-speed SS. He took me for a ride in it one day . I could barely see over the dash board but I was hooked. As I approached driving age all I wanted was a 66 Chevelle. I owned three of them at various times many years ago and I would love to have another while I still have time on this earth. This was the last one I owned, 360 HP/4-speed.

A white 1970 Buick GSX.

Another favorite of them.

I didn't own it, but it's the favorite for me.

Cruising!
As a young man, I bought and sold MANY cars. I liked a number of them. The Datsun 240Z was cool. A 1963 Buick Riviera was beautifully styled and comfortable. A 1980 Z28 with a four speed was a nice driving, fun car. Without a doubt, my personal non-Mopar favorite was the 1966 Nova. I just loved that car. I love the styling. It was my favorite color. It drove great. It had a newer 350 in it that offered ample power. It was a very fun car!! Unfortunately, it developed some rust in the sub-frame. Back then, I had no idea how to fix it and could not afford to pay a body shop to make the needed repairs, so I let it go. Lots of great memories with that car!!

My all time, ultimate favorite would have to the the 1970 Road Runner. It was a 383 / 4 speed car. A previous owner has swapped in a great running 440. That car would RUN!!! The 440 / 4 speed combination was fantastic!! I LOVED it! That car should have been a keeper.....but I foolishly let it go! At the time, I wanted to buy a 1969 Charger to replace it. Unfortunately, that never happened. Since that time, the prices of Chargers and Road Runners have only gone up..... Both are way out of my price range now!

Anybody from the PNW remember this gem? I still get a laugh that it was allowed into the Graham show, even for a few minutes.

I admit when I was younger, I was Mopar or No Car but there's so many different great cars out there from all the manufacturers.

Favorite that Ive owned would be a Grand National-the turbo is like heroin. One that I would like to own would be a 68-72 442 W30

This one of my "daily drivers" a 1995 E320. Smooth but firm suspension with under body sealing for aerodynamics on the Autobahn. Inline 6, double overhead cams, 4-valves per cylinder with lots of torque and ample horsepower. Rear wheel drive. A good long time Mopar friend (helped start F.A.S.T.) took it on a beer run a few month ago, as it was last in, in the driveway and came back raving about the car. Made me feel even better about it. I drove it back from El Paso, TX where I got it from a friend of mine's MB dealership as he took it in on trade almost 20 years ago. Never wanted to buy a MB but couldn't pass on the price and the fact that at the time in had only 9500 miles on the odometer.

favorite non-mopar that i've actually owned..... have had a couple pontiacs that i really like but hands down it has to be my 08 mustang. bought it in 2019 with only 7500 miles on it, has just over 12,000 miles on it now.. i've done a few day 2 type of mods to it . i just love the car. looks great, drives great, plenty fast enough to get me in trouble and gets over 20mpg. its just a really nice car all the way around... best of all i can "tinker" with it but never have to "work" on it..:)

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
