Worst 1973 Opel Manta, brown. Just. Plain. Bad. However, many girls from my town do recall the interior...

Best 1995 Infinity J30, blueish (no, not purple, it just looks that way in the sun). First real luxury car, drove like nothing at the time. Of course, now my gargantuan (not purple, either) SUV would beat in in any race, but at the time, it was the best.

I had a 1973 Blue Opel Manta Luxus....I blew the doors off a GTO at 130mph heading down 287 from Lawton to Wichita Falls. I traded it for a 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport which was the best car I ever owned and could've blown the doors off the Manta anytime, anyday.

My worst...had to be my 1965 Mustang that was rear ended so I found a 1966 Mustang that had a front end wrecked and had the rear of the 66' welded to the front of the 65'. The drive train had been damaged so the transmission had to be repaired every three months or so. I had the heads shaved and it would run a good quartermile. I traded it in for the Opel....
