• 1957 Chevy BelAir with a Rocket425 engine. My Dad's dirt track car. Used to drive it when I was 12 on a closed track. I'm pretty sure he ran moonshine in it too, but have no proof!
• 1969 puke Yellow Corvair. The car I learned to drive a stick in on country roads in KY visiting my Grandmother (the owner). They had a matching color Ford F150 my Grandfather drove with 3 on the tree.

• 1965 Dodge Polara with a push button automatic transmission. First car I ever paid for myself. $300 sold it for $450 two years later. Had a lot of fun in that boat in high school

• 1983 Honda Silverwing GL650. The perfect sized touring bike. Drove it all over the Southeast, sometimes 12 hour days. Honda should have never converted this to a scooter.
• 1983 Camaro Z28 with aftermarket Targa top. I thought I was a rock star.
• 1985 Toyota MR2. My first 1st86 experience since I bought one of the first in the US. Don't need to say more about that car.
• 1989 and 2001 Chevy Astro. Honestly one of the best family cars Chevy ever built. Between them I drove enough miles to literally get to the Moon and back with almost no issues. Nearly every family travel memory I have with my wife/children happened one of these two cars.

We're on the same page. I have so many memories of sleeping on the middle bench of my parent's Astro van as the family drove all over the US on vacation and breaks.

My cars in no particular order

1985 Toyota MR2 - rusted through with 200k+ miles on the clock. I laughed every single time I drove it.

1999 Mazda Miata - my daily for several years during my undergrad. It made maybe 100whp? But even that's a stretch. I'd purposely go out of my way to find the curviest road to drive where ever I was going. Also my first convertible and turned me into a believer. And the first car I felt like I could beat on for hours and still drive home without getting stranded.

197x VW Bug - Nothing worked, it was completely rusted, and smelled of gasoline in the cabin. Such a riot to try and keep up with traffic or go fishing for the next gear.

1998 Honda VFR800 - I have the sixth generation now but I'll always remember the fifth gen. It was the first motorcycle I could eat up several hundreds of miles in a day and then do the same thing the following day. Motorcycle road trips became a norm after this and I found my favorite category - sport touring.

2004 Porsche 911 - Pop's track toy. I had impressionable experiences with 911's growing up but until he got his I'd never driven one. The sound, the sight, the smell(!), the feel. Unmistakable and completely unique. Most challenging car I've driven and for that reason: fun! She's a femme fatale. I imagine an older air cooled 911 is this amplified.

Notable mentions:

Rent4Ring Stage 2 Suzuki Swift Race Car
Tony Kart with HPV 4
Honda S2000
Yamaha R6

I rented a brand new dodge dart on a business trip, took me 80 miles to burn a half tank of gas. My god that car is pathetic, slow, boring, awful, lethargic, and uninspiring.

Yea that thing sucks my 04 Mazda 3 could go 120 to the quarter tank while driving reasonably.

The worst part of that is I was going to get the dart before I got my FR-S. Like the Camaro and challenger I thought they might bring back a once cool car but they ruined it for the most part. The interiors are nice and the display looks pretty cool but the rest fiat found away to mess all up

The most fun vehicle I've ever driven is a 125cc 2-stroke shifter kart. No question. It makes pretty much everything else I've driven (or ridden in) feel slow and unresponsive by comparison.

[Optimus Prime]

My list is pretty short and unimpressive. In no particular order...
- FRS obviously

- 1990 Eclipse GS. At 18 and coming from an '86 P.O.S. Grand Am coupe (which I loved dearly and have fond memories of) it was the most amazing car ever.

- 2004 Mazda 3s. For a recent college grad it was a nice mix of sport and practicality.

- 2006 Subaru Impreza. Was the wifey's, but is now my DD as she's got a forester.

- 2004 Xterra. Depends on your definition of "fun", but man I had fun with that offroad.

(like I said, pretty uninspiring list!)

Honorable Mentions:
- Never drove it, but my brother had a 1988 Trans Am GTA with a 350LT1 swap. Loved that car and wish he never got rid of it.

- My dad had a '69 442. He would always speak quite nostalgically about it and I think that's what originally got me interested in cars and driving...

If we include bikes here...

My race prepped GSXR 600 was pretty fun. (Friggin FAST! I would have had to put weight on it if I wanted to actually race it)

My Aprilia RSV1000R Factory was probably less fun than the Gix, but super ballsy and powerful. Different kind of fun.

I drove a Ferrari F430 Coupe for a few laps (but in the rain). Wasn't too bad, except I wasn't allow to manually shift it. But I can't complain too much, it's a 430..

My BRZ is kind of my bike replacement for me since I had to sell them. I can't say its more fun than a bike, but it's pretty damn fun for a car!

[Nm86]

1. 05 lotus Elise (most fun car I have ever driven, but anymore than 30 minutes and I'm totally worn out)
2. Frs
3. 93 civic si hatch, sold her to buy my frs, still sad about it, she got me started Autox.

[spdfreak]

My buddy's evo9 with a bunch of robispec suspension goodies, flow mods, and a tune.

Oversteer in a light AWD car makes for some good times.

Edit* should have read the OP.
In order:
1. Modded Evo 9
2. BRZ
3. 06 Shelby GT500
4. Modded Mazdaspeed6
5. Jeep SRT8
6. 08 Toyota XRunner TRD supercharged/big brake kit
7. JCW Mini (from 05? idk i didnt ask)

[infanterene]

1. Racing Supermoto but motorcycles probably dont count.
2. 2005 Porsche Turbo S.
3. 1999 BMW M coupe, I had 2 of those and actually will probably get another.
4. 1988 BMW E30 M3, will get another one too.
5. 1972 Chevelle SS, daily drien 10 sec car. Stollen in 2005, Fken thieves.

I also used to rent Elises from of all places, Enterprise. $86 dollars a day. Whenever I would get the itch for one I would rent one and it quickly scratched the itch. 30-45 min is all I could take.

Number 1 for me is my 1997 Honda del sol Si. Sure it's kinda slow and FWD but it is really fun to ride around in.

I enjoyed my 1998 Lexus GS 300 too but not nearly as much as the del sol
