I had a 1971 Toyota FJ40, and built a 1992 supercharged Camaro with a mini blower. Those were my coolest, but also a couple Fiero's, a Z32, and an E30.

...also the guy that rode a bicycle everywhere '09-'14 got hit 7 times, with the last one disabling me. So don't get too bent over car stuff. I've put in over 170k miles on a bicycle since '09.

Not sure if it counts as these cars were very common at some point, but I own two Mercedes W124. One is a station wagon with a pretty unique paint code (I've never found another one) and one is a limousine with a 5-speed manual and the fairly rare Sportline option. They mostly sit around though because there's pretty much always something broken...

Oh man, from time to time I miss my W124. It was a 300CE coupe in that violet-ish color (Bornit), that people either love or hate.

Nice, I love the styling of the coupé. I originally wanted to buy one before I ended up with the limousine. They have become pretty pricey in recent years.
