My dad works for Kia and yeah they're great but we don't have the funds at the minute, he got us this car, it was a part exchange he had in, was only £800.x

I don't drive but Dana does. We have a black 2005 Dodge SX 2.0. I have never learned to drive...never really needed to. Dana has tried to teach me, but I am a very high strung person and just end up having panic attacks.
The road is safer without me on it.

I'm unable to drive a stick shift but if necessary I can drive an automatic. I have not been behind a wheel in many many years.

I drive a 2008 Chevy Impala. I wish we lived somewhere that had better public transportation though because I'm really starting to hate driving. Well, driving is ok it's just all the other idiots on the road. Especially in winter. That's one of the downfalls of living in the country though. It's a 5 minute drive to the nearest store to get toilet paper

I drive an old small toyota carolla. Luna and Midnight's carriers barely fit in the backseat. That's how small it is.

Yes. I daily drive my 2011 Mustang V6 6-spd manual.

We also have a 92 Acura Integra LS that the hubby drives daily (272k miles!)

And a 99 Ford F350 diesel dually, my Monster, which is currently getting some minor things fixed on it.

Then we have 2 project cars but they haven't been driven in over 5 years!

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
My birthday's in February, so I learned to drive in the snow, and on a stick shift. I don't like driving the RV on the highway, but can.

We have a Toyota Sienna van and the RV.

Gary does most of our driving though. He loves it and it's one of the few things he can still do that doesn't CAUSE pain.

I drive an '02 Nissan Sentra. It's been a good car to me and it gets pretty good fuel mileage (33 mpg) so I've been happy with it. I have about a 50-mile round trip to work each day and no realistic public transportation options, so without a car I would out of luck.

I was driving a 91 GMC Sierra PU, long bed, extended cab until it got stolen in early December. Now I'm looking for a new to me vehicle. DH drives a 95 Nissan Altima (standard) and I can drive it if I absolutely had to, but as a rule, I don't "do" standards.

I love to drive and will only drive stick....I don't like automatic.

I have a 2001 PT Cruiser (his name is Clarence). DH drives a Toyota Tundra (his name is Terrence).

I can drive a stick, and did for decades, but our current car is an automatic that can be switched to a stick and I love it. I think I've used the stick shift once (in the mountains).

Same here
The only thing I like about automatic transmissions is that they make my husband a good bit of money

I do drive and love to.
I hav a 95 nissan Sentra but am going to test drive an 02 Audi A4 convertible next weekend
So excited!
I am learning to drive a stick. I learned to drive an auto and wish I would have had a stick to learn on. I can drive one if I need to, but tend to do a lot of burnouts


Currently in our driveway we have:
95 Nissan Sentra
99 Kia Sephia
01 Honda S2000
79 MG B
99 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs
82 Ford F150

all are the boys except for my Nissan!

I have a 2010 Ford Focus. It's small, but half the time it's only me in it anyhow. We take it around as a family as well- but we usually rent when it comes to long family vacations.

I used to drive the 2000 Chevy Venture van. I still do- but most of the time it's in the passenger seat while the almost 17 year old is driving it. No licence yet- only her permit, I'm thinking this summer she'll be ready for her licence.

The Focus gets much better mileage than the van does. But the teenager's not driving the Focus- it's just too little IMHO for an inexperienced driver. She knows of 2 kids who've gotten into accidents (1 totaled a car) so I'd rather her drive something that is a tank.

Dh has a 2006 Chevy truck.

I would have looked at a Chevy when we were purchasing a new car last year. But- I still wanted to buy American- and Ford was the only Big 3 automaker who took no federal money.
