It seems like a good time to ask what brand of car or light truck you drive.

    Too many to count. The best of the worn out lot was an early '60s Plymouth Fury. Over-powered and sneaky quick.

    Now satisfied with a 6-year-old Suburu Forester. Will buy another one if this one ever dies. And a year-old Honda Fit. Like that 40 mpg. Put on 20,000 this year. Most I ever put on a car in one year. My office.

    I went from a 1953 Pontiac (complete with light-up Indian head hood ornament) to a 2005 MINI Cooper.

    Jumped 50 years in car evolution in one fell swoop. Love my new car. Haven't had a moment of regret. Except maybe when I wonder how I'm gonna pack up my apartment in the next few days . . . .

    Buddy of mine is rebuilding a CJ. It's taking more than two years for a tires-up rebuild. If he ever gets it done, it'll be pretty sweet.

    Rocking a 2007 Toyota Corolla, it's about 1/3rd of the way paid off and I've put a tad over 40K miles on it since I bought it.

    No problems yet, aside from two dents from people who don't know how to properly park and I'm going to give it a full working up once I hit the mid-way point of my payments.

    I doubt I'll drive anything other than a Corolla for as long as I drive. I love....LOVE....that f-n car.

    If Saturn dies and Hummer manages to soldier on, everybody in GM's top management should be jettisoned from the back of a C-17 without parachutes.

    2000 Hyundai Sonata. Took several long drives in it. Spacious backseat for passing out and such.

    That's what I was wondering.

    And yes, I drive a German car.

    My first car was a 1988 Buick Century that my parents gave me as a first car when they got a newer one themselves back in 1999.
    It had about 75,000 miles to begin with. I bought a 2004 Chevy Cavalier, green, in July of 2004, and had it for three years until getting into a head-on accident on a snowy night in February 2007 with a snowplow. After that, I switched carmakers to Dodge, getting the blue 2007 Dodge Caliber I have now. It's good in the snow, a big plus, and the mpg are pretty good too. I wanted to get a Chevy Cobalt, but my fiancee talked me out of it, and in the end, the Caliber was a better car anyway.
