What is your all time favorite automobile? – I could spend every day of the year talking about this question from the Daily Writing Prompt.
My all-time favorite is a moving target because every car show I attend I see something else I covet. Each show I see a new color that becomes my favorite, or a new engine treatment or customization to a model year I love.
I’m going to go with the 1970 Chevy Camaro Z28 as my favorite. I’ve never owned one, but they are beautiful. I did own a 1974 Camaro that I loved. Hurst 4 speed with a 350 4-barrel Holley, Hooker Headers and side pipes, Crager Mach 8 mags, chrome traction bars and of course air shocks. Oh and the mandatory 8 track player and Jenson 6x9s.
Today I own a car that is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. A Mazda Miata MX5-ND. It’s a great driving experience and I have never owned a convertible before and I’ll never own another car that isn’t. Unless it’s a 1970 Z28.
I hope my body and mind allow me to enjoy driving many more years. I love it. and always have.
I also hope, I might get to drive one of these beasts again.
As the owners of these old beauties age, the opportunity for picking up a classic might be around the corner.
I wish I had taken some photos of this old Camaro above when I finished customizing it. Such is life, opportunities lost. I have yet to start customizing the one below but that day is on the horizon.
