The car, because when I landed on free parking and everyone was all pissed, all I had to say was "I'm a car, it's only fair."

I have a Corvette piece that I use.

Now that I am thinking about Monopoly, I'm believe its been at least 5 years probably more since I've played it.

The original version is less common. I listed the pieces from the most common version.

Just to answer the other two questions which I did not see, I have the Beatles version as well. Except I consider it too special to use, so I just look at it. And I always made a point of purchasing all the utilities, and then Elizabeth, Collins and Bourke St. No real reason, they were just streets that I recognised.
You didn't see them because I edited them in when I thought of them and realized they could add to the discussion.

My family gets completely crazy over this game. We're all incredibly competitive players, and we like to cut stupid deals (like three pieces of property in exchange for $500 and three turns of land-on immunity). We also like to put tax and house money in the center of the board to be claimed at Free Parking, so that's another element of insanity in and of itself.

I usually play as the car. It's my favorite piece, always has been. I'm not completely sure why.

As for property, I try to get the light-blues (Connecticut, Vermont and Oriental), the reds (Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois) and the yellows (Atlantic, Ventnor, and Marvin Gardens) because it seems like that's where people land the most when we play. Seriously, I once played a game where most of my income came from a totally built up Kentucky.

We own the original version as well as the modern "Here and Now" version that uses updated properties, credit cards instead of cash, and denominations in the hundred-thousands and millions instead of hundreds and thousands.

I would take a dinosaur from a dinosaur board game and use that (same with cluedo) and I would buy the railways

I can't play Monopoly with anyone I want to remain friends with. I'm too competetive for my own good with that damn game.

It's fun to use gummy bears instead of pieces to play because you can devour your opponents if they piss you off.

I collect Monopoly's. I have normal, Pokemon, The Grinch, Nintendo and the card game. I play as the iron, Pikachu, the Roast Beast, Mario's hat, and for the last one, you can't. Because it's cards.

I very rarely play Monopoly anymore, but when I do, I'll play as the car.

I almost always aim for the top-left corner (orange and red). Everyone seems to land there.

Nothing like a battleship asking "Where's my money?" Well, eithere the battleship or this mini statue thingy I got from Medieval Times.

As for purchasing priority, I'd go for Illinois ave. and the rest of the red properties because they were the first ones that made a profit worth a damn.

And what editions i own? The Original, the San Diego, the LoTR, and the Here & Now edition.

I would buy whatever property I could, then attempt to trade properties to get full sets. The best part was when the bank ran out of houses/hotels/money. Either grab stuff from another box or fight viciously for dwindling resources.

The battleship for me too.
No finer piece I find for collecting property in the capital, the ol' King and country thing.
Heh
