What is the Best ride you have ever driven?

Most likely not your own vehivle, but what was the best vehivle you have ever driven.

For me, it's my Uncle Eric's Jaguar, super smooth handleing, nice shocks, engine totally purrs, good breaks. Only drawbacks, was the fact that my uncle had to completly re make the wiring, and some of the parts becuase the original Jaguar wiring and fuses were utter shit.

Dodge Viper.

Edit:
I should add, some freeways here in Germany don't have speed limits...

My 1965 Cadillac Calais Coupe.
It's been gone two years now, and losing it destroyed any enthusiasm for cars I had. And I used to feel the same way about cars as I do any interest I discuss here, if that gives you any indication.

1974 Thunderbird, the original pimp car. Ever gone 100mph in a 3 ton automobile?

3 tons? I don't think so. Especially not a '74. If it weighed more than 5000 pounds I'll eat a pair of dirty underwear.

Well, it's a jockstrap, at least it doesn't have skidmarks.

33 fucking pounds, eating soiled linen over 33 fucking pounds. The humiliation, the shame, the...mmmm, the FLAVOR!!!!! Delicious!

*grins at Frank* Mmmmm....tas-tay!

Err, the best car I've ever driven is my friend John's car, a brand-new silver Audi A4. *shrugs* I know that isn't really impressive to you guys, but there it is. My friend Bry has a BMW M3 (which I am allowed to drive once I teach his bonehead girlfriend how to drive stick), and my friend Eric has a Porsche Boxster (which I'll be able to drive when I get him drunk enough, bwahahah). But, thus far, it's only been the Audi. Oh, and my brother's '73 MG Midget.

My dad's Lexus ES300, not that special or anything, but it has a full leather interior if that makes it any more special.

I have ridden in a whole bunch of fancy cars though, including armoured Mecedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce company limos while our family was living in Kuwait. Oh that was so nice!

'77 Trans Am with a Pontiac 400. It was only a 12-second car (my brother wanted something fast, and a semi-daily driver). It was one of the few cars he owned with power-steering.

Anyways, he let me take it out one day and told me to take it easy. I drove about a mile down the road and opened it up around a corner. The back end came out and I pulled the meanest fish-tail I probably ever will. I was over 70 before I knew what was going on. All I could hear was engine and all I could smell was exhaust. Good times....

Man...I want that car.

I drove some sort of Jaguar once. From one end of the parking lot to another. The CEO asked me to move it. Was I ever nervous about that.

Im not too into cars, so I cant remember driving anything specatular but Im sure I have. A few of my friends have very nice cars.

Humvee, actually, I prefer off-road and SUV styles. That damn Humvee could get into and out of everything. I was impressed.

You mean that guy failed to teach his GF how to drive a stick in their "private" lessons and that you have to teach her yourself?
