Just curious, and bored. What's the biggest vehicle you've owned? Biggest in terms of physical length, width, and even height. Mine was a 1968 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 four door hardtop. It had the Rocket 350, TH400, 4 wheel drums(power), and was light green with a black vinyl top and black vinyl interior. This car was a blast to drive, and was the fastest car I've ever owned.

It'd be a tie between my current 300ZX or my 96 3000GT. Neither ever left be stranded,broken down,or ever had repair shop time.
95 F350 crew with full sized bed. Still own it and use it weekly.
1970 E-300 short wheelbase Econoline van 302 V8, 2 barrel carb with manual transmission
$3,800 brand new, tax, license, everything with cash as usual
Assembled at Pico Rivera, California Ford plant, later to become Northrop aircraft plant where B2 bomber was designed and built.

All my vehicles have been on the same basic platform, but with different frame lengths, suspensions, and tire sizes.
Tallest would be a tie between '95 Explorer Sport on 31" tires and '94 Ranger 4x4 reg cab on factory size LT235/75R15s, but with a higher suspension than the Explorer. Those have been the shortest trucks I have owned lengthwise though.
My 2002 Super Cab Ranger is the longest truck I have owned at nearly the length of an Expedition, but it's 2WD so it sits fairly low. My 2001 Ranger 2WD reg cab was actually a little taller when both were on factory tires.

A 1960 Dodge Dart Seneca - from the days when cars were long! Just like this one (but with OEM full wheel discs and for unknown reasons, red wheels). Pushbutton automatic with a 318 V8.

A 1970 Ford Custom 4 door sedan.
It looked like a Galaxy 500 or an LTD type. Huge monster. Purchased for $400 and drove it for a year.
Funny thing...I actually liked it!

Well since full size trucks keep getting bigger, my current F150 Screw is the largest vehicle I've owned
1976 Ford E-100 van (said Econoline-150 on the side). 300cid I6 1bbl. Just shy of 4,000 lbs.
'Twas the stripped model. No cigarette lighter and the smallest gas tank Ford had.

My current 530i is the largest I've ever owned.
My Mother gave me her 1973 Dodge Polara 2 door with a 360 2barrel carb. It had alittle over 81,000 miles on it when I received it back in 1991. Was driving home through super dense fog one nite that you couldnt see five foot in front of you & blind sided a huge tree with it -- totaled!! Ended up selling the motor to a co-worker who had an old Dodge work van. I named the car the "pickle" due to it was green.
Excluding a field full of typical Earth Moving equipment and more than a few Class 8 trucks, my 74" Caddy 4 Door Fleetwood was the best ride I EVER owned
and I now drive an AUDI A8 which ain't shabby..
My 359 Pete w/walk in sleeper, 3408 Cat, 310" WB & 10' spread axle reefer was almost as comfortable fwiw. pc

1983 Cutlass Supreme coupe that my grandpa used to own which was my first car. It was average, I didn't like it on the highway since it seemed too floaty. Esp if you were in a turn and hit some bumps. Felt like I was going to lose control. One time I did that on the highway where the tail end started to fish tail during a snow storm. I started sliding sideways and could see an 18 wheeler barreling down towards me. Hit the guardrail and did damage to the drivers side.
