I am jealous. The only car we can have on our road is four wheel drive. Nothing pretty can be driven down our road. hahaha:cool:

I have had the same car for nearly 10 yrs now; a 1993 Nissan 240sx. It has a few dents in it, but it runs good and is paid for ;)

I hope to get a new Ford Mustang in the next year or so. I have always loved Mustangs.

He is actually going to trade it in or sell it, but I love mustangs. That was before I sat in it, I really didnt like the interior. Plus that is his ex's car, he got that in the divorce and she got his Mazada something. And I only know this because I asked him why did he get a convertible? Usually girls get convertibles lol

I want a Shelby Mustang! I love Mustangs anyway, Chris hates them. One of my BMs just got a new car a week before I did, and then we both decided that we are going to both get a Mustang in 10 years if not before.

I have a 2002 Mercury Cougar. Fun little sports car. FH has a Toyota 4runner and a 93 Mustang GT. The mustang gets our one car garage. Someday we will have three or four mustangs. We are going to have to buy a piece of property just for our cars! I used to have a 68 Mustang and I want one again, and he wants a new one for a daily driver plus a Shelby.

I have an 05 Solara as well, but mine is the sport and not convertible. I absolutely love my car except for when it needs new tires at $200 each!

yes the tires are expensive, with my aftermarket 19" wheels they are $1,000 for a set, thats why when I need new ones I am just going to put the stock ones on and sell the aftermarket ones :laugh:

Oooh I love cars. Katy: Don't say your car is boring. If the don't change the Legacy's a whole lot in the next 5 years, when I go to trade again, I'm hoping to get one. But mine will be the Spec-B, which is the super fast one! LOL!

A month ago, I traded my 07 Nissan Sentra S for a 06 Chevy Cobalt SS supercharged. Love it!

Okay I drive a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire (black) in really good condition. It has all the good stuff (CD player, awesome sound system, power sunroof, power locks, and power windows). We bought it in 2002 for me and didnt think it would make it (since it was my first car). Its been an awesome little car and is totally sporty!

Jonathan said that we'll probably be getting me a new car within the next year or so. I'll be upgrading to some kind of SUV... we havent gotten that far yet.

I drive a 2001 Dodge Neon ES named Baby Girl. FH and I met through our local Neon owner's club. I've put my car in shows but haven't won anything yet and last year was the first year I just didn't feel like it. Maybe this year though, we'll see. There's a local Mopar show in May that we usually enter in. Someday after we've moved out and have money, I want to get an orange Nissan Murano, but I want to keep Baby Girl and just work on her as a show car.

FH drove a 1998 Dodge Neon R/T named Rachel when we first met. He traded it in a few months later because insurance was too high. I was sad to see it go and then he bought and traded in a few more cars so he had a lot of roll over. Now he drives his daddy-mobile, a 2004 silver Saturn Vue, and has had it a couple years already. He's already added a few things to it since then. I don't think either of us will ever be able to own anything and keep it stock, lol.

Haha, us too. I was going to say that I did have a Focus that I didn't mod, but I guess I did have clear turn signals on it! LOL! My last 3 cars haven't had much done to them, but it was always something. My Cavalier was the last thing I did anything to and entered into a car show. I won first place in our small car club car show as well as fastest car at the track. My FH had a Sunfire that was all done up and he won 1st a local car show and then later that year won 2nd at a big Sunfire/Cavalier car show. Then the following year won People's Choice at a local car show and 3rd at the same Sunfire/Cavalier car show.

Heres my Cavalier (it had nitrous, hence the purple accents. :) )--Do you see a resemblance with my new car?

Here is Alex's Sunfire. What it finally looked like and then it all went to hell. Long story.

I drive an '06 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. I just got it in September. I did have an '03 Dodge Neon that I had quite a bit of stuff done to. Ground effects, tailights, dual exhaust, etc. I loved that care, but I have ALWAYS loved the Grand Prix, and it is sooooo much quicker. Clayton has a '05 Dodge Cummins with a straight pipe.

I REALLY, REALLY want to get an early 70's Plymouth Barracuda to fix up. Clayton isnt all that excited about it, but his dad really wants to do it to. So it might be a future project for my FFIL & I, LOL.

Awww I had a yellow Xterra that I got right after high school graduation. I'm in the car for a few hours a day so I had to get a more gas efficient car, but I never had one problem with my Xterra. It was great!

05-04-2007, 04:02 PM

I have a 2000 Grand Prix SE. I get way cheaper insurance than if I had a GT, and it's still pretty fast. We also have a 1997 Ford F150 and a 1992 Tempo that was mine throughout high school until it died. My FH is a mechanic so he put a new motor in it and that's his POS he drives around now. And then we have our baby... a '65 bright red Mustang. It's in awesome shape, but FH wants it perfect so we are working on restoring it. (When I say "we" I mean "he!" Haha)

We are looking for a 4DR, 4WD, 2500 Chevy (4Dr will give us room with Colton and the 2500 HD will pull the cattle and horse trailers).

I love Civics! I had one a long time ago and that car was awesome, ran great, had pep and was great on gas... I also had a Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD Turbo that was SUPER FUN but little cars scare me now (was in a wreck) so i want lots of metal around me now!

That's the only thing I hate about my truck...it holds about 75.00 when it's on empty at the current gas prices. Thankfully we get to deduct gas from our taxes as a farm expense due to both our trucks being licensed as "farm trucks". It gets pretty good gas mileage though...not great but not horrible either!

Unfortunately..some jerk backed into my baby the other day at the Dr's...so...shes in the shop for now...so im driving my FH's 99 Pontiac Grand Am....its OLD..but its got power :)

Oh I love that color! My last car (an Xterra) was bright yellow and now this one is bright yellow too. It was the only diesel left around Houston. Not complaining - everybody was just like "Keely, AGAIN??!" Haha. It's an '06 and I've had SO many problems with it though. Grrr! I feel so cute and sassy riding around town in it! Love the name Bailey, by the way! :D

I have the wost car luck....I've been driving for 7 years and have gone through a Ford Probe (it had probe-lems), Pontiac sunbird, Ford cougar, a Dodge Dakota, and now I have a Ford Taurus. I loved the dakota, it was a stick and I liked having a truck, but could only have 1 other person in the car. My car goes, and that's all I need. BF had a Ford Ranger.

hahah, my mom came down to visit last weekend and saw my new car and shes like "You've had more cars since you've been married than I've had in my lifetime!" I guess shes only ever owned an AMC Spirit (the car she got after her and my dad got married, I think they had that until I was about 5 or so) and then my grandpa rebuilt her a 1988 Olsmobile Cutless Supreme (that she got in 1990, I think, and she had the Cutless up until her Ford Taurus. They bought a brand new 2002 Taurus and she didn't drive it until 2003 and finally got rid of the Cutlass in 2004...she didn't want to get rid of her Cutlass and she hated the Taurus and didn't want to buy it, so now she drives my dads 92 Dodge Dakota all the time.....my mom is weird like that.

Nikki: I love the 02 Jettas. They are great design and definitely the turbo ones! Gotta love the pep.
