Is Rivian your fvorite vehicle you've ever owned?

[J's Rivian]

I was having a discussion with a friend this past weekend and we were casually just talking about our favorite ever vehicles. He drives the R1S while i drive the R1T.

During our conversation, I told him that my R1T is probably the best all round vehicle I've ever owned. However it is not my favorite. My favorite was my first, a 1969 Buick Riviera painted in lacquer black with a painted on lime green metallic pin stripe. My dad and uncle helped me restore it and I just felt cool as hell as a 16-17 year old getting nods from the older guys at car shows with all their cool stuff.

Remembering it as it was is great but I wouldn't want one now. The Rivian is better as a vehicle in every way, so I feel it would ruin the memory to try and recapture it by buying another one and finishing it the same way. Doing a full resto-mod on it and making it everything I wished it was when I had it. It still probably wouldn't be as good as my R1T or as functional or usable.

So how about all of you? What is your most favorite vehicle you've ever owned. Pictures of it would be cool too, although I don't have anything digital of my old Riviera. I should probably try and digitize the few I have though. Feel free to drop any pictures under the comment section.

There have been many but like your first love my favorite is probably a 1962 Rambler, 6 cylinder, 3 speed on the column I purchased for $100 a couple of months before getting my drivers license. It gave me freedom to go much further than my bicycle and opened the world to adventure. Great times
