#1. Best car you have ever owned?
1990 MAZDA MIATA
#1b. List 5 things that made it great.
Cheap ($15,500) reliable (nothing at all ever needed to be fixed), fun to drive (great sound, great shifter, great handling and surprise, surprise the ability to part traffic at night thanks to the bouncing sparkling headlights) massive resale value (sold 3 years later for 14,000) and I owned all my friends cars and trucks as they would trade with me even if the claimed I was driving a girls car.
#1c. List 5 things that you didn't like.
Underpowered. Bad choice of colours, chick car label, road noise and poor visibility with top up, front clip was ugly with a plate attached.

#2. Your Current favoured Car
2012 Boss Mustang 302
#2b. List 5 good things about it.
Brought me back into domestics, sounds incredible, fun to drive at sane and insane speeds, the engine, the C Stripe.
#2c. List 5 things wrong with it.
SRA, too heavy, cheap interior plastics, should be able to control dampers from within car, odd white roof (although that's grown on me) ugly rear end detailing.
#2d. Name 2 cars you would trade it for. Straight trade, money no object.
Any Aston Martin, something truly unique and bespoke.

#3. Car you hate most available for sale today
Anything by Lexus
#3b. Why do you hate it?
Fake brand with no history, a ploy to create better margins for Toyota, questionable styling, dull driving dynamics, fake exhaust tips.
#3c. Name several good things about it.
Great build quality, showed other makers the way forward in quality, innovative technology, quality of ergonomics and materials.

#4. Used car other than a GM, Ford or Mopar from 1990 to 2010 that you would and could buy (No Veyron unless you can pay cash)
Any 3rd Generation RX-7 sans spoilers or aftermarket parts. A beautiful and delicate drivers car.

#5. Second favorite car company.
Ford

#6. Favorite form of Motorsport
From 0 to 14, NASCAR. From 15 to 48, Formula 1 except for a brief detour into Indycar post Senna and during the Players Canadian Heyday.
