    While I buy primarily Ford vehicles and consider myself a Ford guy, I do like cars from all brands. My first 3 cars were Datsuns and I would love to have a couple of them now. I like many cars from GM, Chrysler, old orphan brands, and foreign cars.

    If it's got wheels I generally like it.

    not me. i'm down to talk to owners of all cars but i dont have interest in all cars. I mainly stick to G-bodys, buicks, olds, marauders, TYs/SYs, mopars, 3rd gen F-bodys, 63/64 impalas, testarosas, countach/diablos and corvettes. I dont have much interest in, front wheel drive, fords, cobras, chevelles/novas, roadster hotrods, any camaros not 3rd gen, porsches, etc..I flat out hate rat rods, bmws, asian imports, anything cambered (stanced out), vws (except superbeatles) , anything purposely painted satin finish, diesel trucks, etc. I'm not gonna look at stuff i have zero interest in because i wont have anything constructive to say. better to avoid it unlike the idiots who come up to cars and say stuff like "too bad its not a stick". like bro, 99% chance you cant outshift my automatic and you probably came here in a rusted POS.

    I guess i'm just pretty specific in what i like. I dont see nothing wrong with sticking within a group of cars you enjoy as long as you aren't stuck up about it. One oddity i do like is older bone stock origina cars regardless of what it is. i recently saw a MINT plymouth horizon at a car cruise. pretty crappy cars but it was still cool to see one unmolested. I can respect that. thats more interesting to me than some vega with a giant motor and tires 2 foot wide in the rear but its probably never ran the 1/4 in the last 20 years.

    Back in the late 1980's I was a solid General Motors fan, and I think with good reason. Full-frame with good suspension (think A-body Chevelle and GTO) and it was hard to beat the Chevy motors. Chrysler and Ford had sheetmetal front ends, and while the motors could be made powerful didn't really have anything over Chevrolet engines. But the flexible chassis were a disaster.

    As time went on GM gave up on the full-size V8 rear wheel drive platform and Ford released the overhead cam 4.6L motor. When they put the 32V version of the 4.6L in the Marauder I knew I had to have one. A modern, 4-door version of the GM A-body with a high-revving DOHC engine.

    I like to think I appreciate good engineering no matter who built it. And while I do like most cool old cars and musclecars, I also understand that they aren't all created equal and have good points and bad points. Like the old Mustangs that everybody loves for the cool look, but have a disaster of a chassis and suspension. Which can be addressed if you're willing to completely modify it.

    I can't say I like all cars, mainly because some models just aren't interesting enough to give them a second look. It's not that I dislike them, I just don't get too interested in them, and that goes for all makes.

    But, when my Galaxie was allowed to enter a recent Corvette only show, I got a lot of looks from Corvette owners and zero negative comments. (I set up a fact sheet under my hood, and that in itself makes people stop, read, and then look at the car.)

    Color matters also. My car is a bright turquoise. If it were something more common, I wonder if it might go un-noticed.

    A guy with a Corvette sat next to me and we BS'ed about cars for most of the afternoon. No Ford vs Chevy talk.

    Not me, I hate most cars...Most Chevys suck and Dodge is the absolute worst, especially the diesels.

    I can't comment too much on the newer cars, but when it comes to cars from the 50/60's, there are a few years where IMHO GM ruled.

    I remember in 1960 looking for a car to replace my 54 Olds that was falling apart. A used car dealer had three converts that caught my eye, all for the same price, $1,095.

    Two 58 Fords, one white and one light blue, and a 57 white Olds 98.

    I jumped on the Olds.

    I enjoy them all to a certain degree but have personal preferences and respect peoples passion for what they own.

    I have a 2006 Volvo XC-70 all wheel drive wagon that is the most versatile and incredibly comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Also fantastic in the snow and can tow a small house.

    I will forever and always own a Volvo XC-70 for da aily driver and am currently looking at a 2013 model for an upgrade.

    The Marauder is for sunny days and good times.

    all cars can be cool, and to each their own - if they modified it, and they like it, it's theirs to be proud of.
    I prefer several makes and models, but am always surprised when something else catches my eye.

    I wouldn't say all cars but the sound of a purpose-built engine (with associated smell of racing fuel and burning rubber) will always light my fire.

    I just like learning about engines and if there was a specific car I would say I am bias to any four door vehicle that is fast, I'm actually into sedans more than coupes
