Well because of my age if I listed the motors I'v owned it would include cars that most of the members on here never heard of.
But the most exotic one was also without doubt the shortest I'v owned one.
In the mid sixties I bumped into a wheeler dealer friend in a coffee bar, he had a DB4 Aston Martin (wire wheels & wood steering wheel) parked outside and explained he was selling it on behalf of a widow who had inherited it. After a quick look round and him agreeing that I could pay for it at the end of the week off I drove. After half an hour of cruising east London streets looking for people to impress I returned to the coffee bar and threw the keys at my mate saying " you can keep that, I put a quids worth of juice in it and it's gone already .! "
Edit - For you younger guys that's = £ 1 at 25p a gallon.
