Question What's your favourite Non Porsche car/vehicle.

I know most here own several cars / vehicles because we like to mind our 997's so which is your favourite. I am not talking imaginary lotto win cars here - just your favourite other Non Porsche car that you may or may not presently own. .

For me its my 1994 Mercedes E220 Coupe. Not a fast car - or a car that can be thrown around bends but after a long day at work its really a great comfortable soother to wind down on the way home.



For an alternative to the 997 I like to take out my TR6. Again this car is primitive compared to the 997 but I still love it.



My favourite Non Porsche car that sadly I don't own is the Aston Martin Vanquish.

Default Does this count ?

We are restoring a HD SuperGlide shovelhead 1996. Fun to ride and sound equals a 997.

Default it is a 1976 shovel

Sorry about my typo. I got too excited about being able to post my bike.

My RS4. It was a magnificent car - I'd love to get it back.

I really miss my MINI Cooper S. I sold it for what seemed like the right reasons at the time, but I probably could have just held on to the damn thing...It was one of the first ones in the States, I waited over a year for it, and the checkered roof and black stripes made it stand out. It's as classic of a design as a 911, IMHO. I'm looking forward to adding a Countryman to the stable when my GTI's lease ends. I realize it's just a car, but it just it was fun as hell, even with the noise and so-so ride quality. When I look at the pics I almost get sick--I should have kept it!

Although I have owned more expensive vehicles in my time (e.g MB AMGs, BMW Ms), my favorite non-Porsche was my old '93 Mazda RX-7 R1 Twin Turbo.

I bought it new back in '93 and sold it a few years later to make way for my second child. But it's the one car I wish I never sold and it will always be special to me.

The only other car I've owned that thrilled my soul as much as my Porsches was my Miata. Those cars are pure magic. If I ever can't afford to keep buying Porsches, I'm going back to Miatas.

Low-cost, high mileage, fun. Seriously.
