I have a feeling I would not have been allowed through the gate to your neighborhood.

I mostly drove a series of hand me down, worn out POS cars. The '73 Mercury Capri V6 that I somehow convinced my parents to buy while I was in HS was my favorite car to drive. Most of the cars I've bought were inexpensive and practical more than fun.
I'd say my all time favorite car was a motorcycle. My '75 Kawasaki Z-1B 900. I loved that bike and have no idea how I lived through owning it.
