I bought a 2011 Mazda2 about a month ago and I love it! it's a teeny tiny little car, but really doesn't feel small. I also still have my previous car, a 2004 Chrysler Sebring, it served me well- 165,000 miles on it in less than 7 years

I just got laid off in December, and when I was working and going to school, there were days when I drove 100 miles a day It will be nice not having to do that anymore but I do like driving!

I drive a 2003 Honda Element. I love my car! They're going to stop making them, so I guess I'd better treat it right!

I drive....Unfortunately for the next 3 yrs Ill be the only driver in the house...(dang Penn Dot) I have a 02 Ford Explorer which I LUUUURRRRVEEEEE. It has been my dream car forever and I wouldnt get rid of it for anything. DF got an offer for 5k for it last weekend and told me and I flat out said NOWAY! The only way I would sell the Explorer is if we were getting a new Explorer OR I would be willing to go back to a Chevy Cavalier but newer like 2000 or above!

We do have a truck in the works, a 66 F-100 that DF is fixing up to take around to car shows. He just bought a 79 Ford F-150 to tear apart and beat around in the yard. Too bad the other 12 cars that are in the sheds and storage spaces arent ours LOL!!

I've been driving since Thanksgiving night, the year I was 15. One of my older brothers offered to teach me, and even let me use his '64 Chevy Impala. His favorite place to take me for lessons was a local cemetery.

I drive a 1967 Mustang; unfortunately, she hasn't been out of the garage since early December. With all the ice and snow we've had, I've decided to let her sit for awhile.

I drive a 2010 Chev Equinox LTZ . I love my SUV. My kids school is at the top of a steep hill. It was pretty hard with my Montana van to get up there. With the Equinox I haven't even spun out once.

I can drive stick but I currently drive an automatic.....a black 1992 Jeep Wrangler Renegade. (at the time these were top of the line- the "Renegade" package was a 4k upgrade) Absolutely love it!!!!

I "ride" as well- got my motorcycle license last year. And got myself a 2000 Harley Sportster 883 upgraded to the 1200 with lots of chrome and loud pipes. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Wish I got my butt on a bike sooner!!!!

The public transportation system is not great where I live, so I've been driving since I got my license at 16. Right now I've got a manual transmission 2001 Saturn sedan - it was my first new car ever, and come this summer I will have had her for 10 years!!! She's only got about 65,000 miles on her, and I'm planning on driving her into the ground. I haven't had a car payment for 5 years, and am NOT looking forward to going there again. I get good gas mileage, but the downside is my car is not four-wheel or even front-wheel drive, so winter can really suck. Especially the past few weeks when we've had a LOT of snow...

I drive a 2005 Toyota Prius. I call it my Tardis---blue box that's bigger on the inside than the outside. I can get all six cats plus show equipment and my suitcase in the back.

I really prefer a stick shift because I feel like I have more control, but I don't think anybody makes a hybrid with stick shift.

For 11 years I drove 90 miles roundtrip to work, then 8.5 years drove 65 miles roundtrip. I changed jobs last September and now I have less than 5 miles rountrip. The Prius gets great gas mileage on the short trips (~48MPG). If I didn't work nights I would probably walk it.

Yes, I drive. My car is a Buick Regal. I really don't like to drive as I had two wrecks a few years ago. The second one totalled my car and I had to do some rehab exercises for my knees. It did something to me and I don't have the confidence I used to when I am driving in unknown territory. We live in a rurala area with only a four lane highway that I drive on, very little traffic. I go to the dr., drugstore, etc. When we go to town, it is 30 minutes away. Since my hubby retired he is usually always with me so he drives.

Drive, ride, fly!



Also have a turocharged Focus which is not currently street legal, and a B-body Impala SS that I was SUPPOSED to be installing my new steering wheel and sound system in today, but its so crazy cold. Complete demotivator.

Eventually, I need to sell most of my vehicles. Two bikes and three cars is kinda retarded for one person, and its especially dumb to have cars that aren't driven on the street. The market for used vehicles is just so very very poor right now.

Oh yes....I drive. I spend more time driving from the passenger side than in the driver's seat. I use a Chevy Impala, that is left hand drive, on my mail route. It's not fitted for right hand drive, and personally I prefer driving that way. I just made my last car payment last week! Yay!
We also have an '02 F-250 with a standard transmission. It's fun to drive for a change, but darn hard to climb up into.

I am currently driving my dad Toyota Camry as my ford contour played out. But I am looking to buy a ford f 150, that is a 4x4 or has a limited slip rear end. I live way out in the country and the county rarely does anything to our road when it snows and I work at a hospital so we have to be there regardless of what the weatherman says so we are looking for a nice truck for me. I hope to find a good one and then maybe once its paid for I want to buy me a ford fusion to drive when the weather is nice or take turns with it. I went with my dad and we looked at one and I love them. I have to admit I like my dad's camry but when I don't like to drive when its windy as it seems to want to be moved around by it. We don't have any public transit options here so if you don't drive and you can't walk to where you need to go you are out of luck and most everything here is sprawled out.

I learned how to drive a stick when my dad bought me a 79 Pontiac Sunfire when I was in college. Now the only "stick's" are the tractors and the ATV.

I currently drive a 2011 Ford Fiesta we bought late Sept. It already has 6000 miles on it.
I call it my "baby car".
When landscaping season starts again I have the 2002 F150 to use. The truck is basically parked now. With the price of gas it was silly using it as a commuter vehicle. We still need a truck for hauling stuff and bringing firewood back from our property up north.
Neil drives the 2005 Merc Milan. The miles are adding up on that car so we may replace it this year with something new.
Having worked for Ford for 20 years I kind of biased towards vehicle makers plus I still get good pricing from Ford on new vehicles.
