1974 Datsun 180b.
Also slowest car I've driven, only car I've driven where 0-100kph in some real life situations is just 'no' instead of a time.

Do tractors count? If so, 1939 John Deere. If not, a late 1950s studebaker, probably ‘58 or ‘59.
Ford Sierra. I think it was a 1984 model. Somewhere early 1980s, at least.
It was my first car.
It is the main reason why I'm never buying a Ford ever again.
When I worked in a body shop I got to drive a lot of old cars but the absolute oldest was a 1932 Pontiac businessman's Coupe.
They are beautiful. They are nostalgic and they are a fucking death trap. That kind of makes them more fun.
1921 Ford Model T - Grandpa used to restore them and taught me how to drive. He also had a Model A but I forget what year it was.
Now see, that's cool because the controls are actually different. I remember when I was a teenager, I found the equivalent of an owner's manual for a model T in my public library. And what really amazed me that although it had 3 pedals and appeared to drive like a normal manual transmission car, those 3 pedals actually had different functions. One of those things that got standardized over time I reckon.
Having throttle and engine timing on the steering column definitely throws people off. Funnily enough it was the first car I ever drove. As a child illegally and only in the empty church parking lot by his house, but still! Haha.
1972 Ford Courier
1953 Ford Prefect
Ever see Starsky & Hutch? That red car with the white Nike swoosh on the side? I drove one of those, only mine didn't have the Nike logo.
It was junk (because it was a Ford, and because when it came to me, it had a bunch of problems) but it was fun to drive and I got $200 more than I paid for it when I sold it, though I paid way more than that in fuel as it got like 8MPG.
Torino.
I own and am restoring a 1968 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon. Sat in my grandpa's garage for decades, was told I could have it if I got it running. It does technically run now, but needs work before I'd trust it at speed. So my drives are limited to my neighborhood at the moment.
What a land yacht!
A 1972 Ford Escort.
A 1988 Toyota hiace van. It was mine and older then me.
1930's tow truck, in operating condition. Oh that was interesting.
'58 Impala
'91 Subaru Loyale.
I have ridden in a Ford Model A before, but I was like 9 at the time.
1973 Ford Maverick sedan. It's my dad's, his parents bought it new.
Either a Geo Metro or a Toyota Tercel. Late 1980s or early 1990s.
1984 Ford Ranger

Your mum one of those Chinese EVs?
My older sister had a '62 Ford Falcon. I drove it a couple times about '85-'86.
I bet she regrets getting rid of it. I actually don't remember where it went.
Your mum
