Don't laugh but my 1st vehicle was a 1978 MK 2 Ford Escort van. It was a 1.6 pinto Ex police My first car was a mk 2 Gof gti 16v 2 door. Fucking loved that car My favorite car brand from an aspirational point of view is Mc Laren. Loved the F1, love the P1. So I'm a sucker for the Turismo R obviously.

I was a daily rider for close to 8 years and popped a wheelie maybe.. twice? Bikes are fun for knee dragging, not knuckle dragging. ;-] Exactly, I've been riding a 250 for two years and don't feel that I've outgrown the bike at all.

The pipe and jet work made it doable, but there were a few high speed spots where I could get in trouble. Ride long enough and a cager will mess with you, it's nice to be able to get away. That is the reason I claim to have for getting the 919. The mpg went from 52 to 43 and it is harder to see over cars but I couldn't go back. I clutched up the KLR a few times, really not interested in wheelies on the 919, did a few stoppies getting used to the brakes, the klrs are weak, but I don't do those anymore either. "Bikes are fun for knee dragging, not knuckle dragging." well said

The Digital dash in the Trans ams are an absolute nightmare. The formula has the go fast parts without the digital junk. Just something to keep in mind

My overal favorite brand is BMW. It has all kinds of cars, form comfortable cars till super fast cars. My first car and still is, since i'm still young, is BMW 1 coupe M-pakket. Not a big car or the fastest or anything, but is such a nice car. It accelerates when you want it, very safe car, no problems, full option inside so for music it's very useful. I can use 3 different ways for music, USB, aux and the 12gb memory in the car. Actually 4 with bluetooth. And many other things It's my profile picture. Niceste car i've ever driven is Porsche Carrerra (996), still drive often with that car. My first bike was a TZR-50. Had fun with it only it is 50cc.. Now i've got a Yamaha R6, the bike was rebuild for racing on track but that is for the near future.

Favourite brand is Mercedes. There's not many of their cars that I don't like. Also I'm a big McLaren fan, in motorsports and in general but I doubt I'll ever drive one let alone own one.
My first vehicle was a Peugeot 306. I then got another 306 (slightly newer), then when I was living in London I didn't have a vehicle but had access to a 1960s Morris Minor for a year or two (wasn't mine though), and now I have a Honda Civic and Honda CRV.
I'm aiming to get a 2005ish era Mercedes SL in the next few years. My favourite mk / shape, and you can get ones that have been well looked after for a decent price.

Can't say I have a favorite car brand, but my first car was this Rover 218: Had to get rid of it a few years ago because it started to cost me more in fixing than I initially paid for it. It was also heavy and slow as fuck, but I don't know, I kinda miss it.

Favourite company: Aston Martin 1st car driven and owned: 2008 mazda 3
I personally see no reason in getting another small car other than a mazda 3 at least that is economical. It has plenty of spunk to get up and go, looks good, handles very well, and gets great mpg.
That is not to say I would not take a hot hatch or a sports/super car. I have always loved 911s especially the older looking ones. Singer 911s have old look but modern mechanics. My dream car!!

My 1st car was a 1998 Toyota Corrolla SECA. Nice enough for a 1st car. Good on fuel, had custom rims, sound system and exhaust. Decent pickup and all round reliable little hatchback. My favourite car brand is either the old Chevy or new BMW. They are both a bit more pricey but still affordable. Great quality and most of their cars are srexy. I was going to buy an M3 last year but ended up going for a 4x4 Holden Colorado ute for practicallity.
