I drove a Ferrari California convertible yesterday. Was the fastest car I have ever driven. So I was curious what some of you guys have had the opportunity to drive.
what is the most exotic car you have driven

I've ridden in some cool cars but as far as actually driving? I had a buddy in the Marines who had a Mitsubishi 3000 GT (or maybe it was a Dodge Stealth) that I drove a few times. It looked cool and was quick enough but was absolutely the most uncomfortable car I have ever had to climb in or out of and I am not a big guy by any stretch of the imagination.
It's not really all that exotic but still sort of interesting... My father-in-law has a 1973 Porsche 914 sitting in the garage that he offered to let me drive on our wedding day but I had just gotten my new JK so the wife-to-be and I elected to take that instead.
The fastest car I've ever ridden in was probably my wife's uncle's 2008 Audi S8. That thing is awesome. Supposedly, it has the same engine as one of the Lamborghinis?

Ferrari F355 spider, porche 911, Rolls Royce, Doge Viper, BMW M5, I worked on all these cars so thats the only reason I have driven them. I used to work for a rich doctor who had his own used car lot and this is all they sold.
When I was just out of High School a buddy of mine and I met a guy with a 68 Shelby Cobra. It was a replica but it had an original 428 engine. I believe it was a four speed and the tires broke loose on every shift, but at 45 he could punch it and it would start to side spin... car was fast

The most exotic car that I have driven would have to be a 1996 Dodge Viper (this took place in '96) but my favorite would have to be the 1968 Hemi Roadrunner that an old man let me drive. I was at a car show and I was practically drooling over this car and the old man started talking with me about it. Then he ask me if I wanted to go for a ride. I said yes and he threw me the keys. I couldn't believe it. He insisted that I drive and he told me to drive it the way it was intended to be drove. He was probably the coolest old man I ever met. That car had a ton of power but just would not hook up with those little tires.

I used to date a girl a few years ago and her dad was a pretty avid car collector. I drove a few of them over the years that her and I dated. The most exotic.... umm, probably a Dodge Viper. Never really got to get on it very good, just played around a little on Telegraph.
Oh and inbeforecrazyliesaboutfastcarsyouwishyoudrovebutinsteadyoulieandsayyoureallydroveittolookcoolintheinternetz!!!11
Edit: Isn't the Ferrari California the car that Top Gear drove and ripped it to pieces saying how cheap, underpowered, and unrefined it was? I could be mistaken. BTW, I think the name sucks. When I first heard a car named "California", I think of some teal 1970's VW Beetle with a sun on the hood or something. I, personally, think the car looks pretty sweet... but seem to remember that Top Gear hated it. Meh... what the hell do I know.

either my audi 5000s or my friends dads Miata..........I suck at being cool like the rest of ya:teehee:
On another note though, by far the coolest vehicle I have driven and most fun is the 62 IH scout 80 with fold down windshield I recently had the pleasure to tool around in on a friends private wheeling property. There is just something about vintage iron, factory 4cly, 4.30 gears and a t18 that is fun:rock:
