Loved my ‘98 Jeep Cherokee Sport RWD.  Bare bones nothing special but hella reliable and kind cool looking with the upgraded rims and the nerd step bars i installed on it.

Guilty pleasure former car: 1985 Fiero GT.  Don’t laugh, it handled like a slot car and was quick as hell off the line. The removable sunroof was literally the size of the roof so it was practically a targa and b/c it was 2 door I never had to drive all my idiot drunk friends around.

Tho The list of past cars is kinda long, I got to thinking well which ones do I wish I still had. There are two: 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire because it was my first car (and was awesome!), and 2004 Mercedes E350 4matic because it was just a sweet ride with excellent sound system and super comfortable seating. Also mention to my 1973 Firebird which I really loved but also beat the $--t out of and had severe rust issues so not much left to keep.
