Good morning.

Let's talk cars.....

What do you drive? Do you have a dream vehicle?

I drive an '03 Buick Regal. I think I might like a Toyota Camry, but would have to test drive it first.

I have a silver 2001 Mercury Sable. It's kinda on it's last leg right now though. Hopefully it will hold out a few more years; I love not having a car payment! When I do get another vehicle though, I would love another Ford Escape (supposing something else I like hasn't come out by then; I will likely buy a good used vehicle when it's time for an upgrade).

I drive a 2001 F150 pick up truck. It has a stick shift and has about 80,000 original miles....I don't go too far!

DH has a 2009 GMC Sierra. It has about 10,000 on it.

I haven't driven a car in I don't know how long. Guess I am just a "good old girl"!

I loved my Jetta but gave it to my daughter when she totalled her car so I bought myself a dream car.

In June I got myself a VW Tiguan and I love everything about it.

What I mostly drive is a Peterbilt model 388 semi. But I also have a 2005 Saturn Ion. My dream car is something I have been working on for the last couple of years: a custom '69 dodge charger. I've wanted to build one from scratch since I was 10. A couple years ago I ordered a few parts and finally got it started.

A 2004 honda civic. I don't really have a dream car, as long as it looks nice and is comfortable inside.

I drive a 05 VW Beetle (yellow) and I just got a 09 Jetta TDI (black) in October.

I really want a Beetle Convertable or the EOS. Yeah I'm a VW fan.

There's no place like home
After my Toyota Matrix was totaled in November, I bought a 2010 Subaru Outback. On the drive home from work in a near blizzard yesterday, I gave her the nickname of Betty - my mom's name. Best car I've ever had for driving through snow and she makes me feel safe and warm like my mom always did. My dream car is one that makes me feel safe and warm. Maybe I have it now.

I drive a 2011 Kia Sorento. I love it, but my dream car is 1 of the new Camaro's. I absolutely love the new body design! With a baby on the way, a bf, his daughter, and a lab puppy it's really not feasible right now though.

1970 Biological. (yeah, I use my own two feet to get around). But if I did have a vehicle, what I'd love to do is to get a 2010 GMC Sierra Crew Cab LongBox with a lockable strongbox so that I can throw my camera gear in the back and not have it stolen out from under me. Such security would come more important once I get my $10,000 telephoto prime lens for wildlife.

Drive a 2001 Grand Cherokee and a 1994 Chev 3/4 ton 4X4 - 4WD is a must here in the boonies and most people have at least one vehicle that fits the requirement. My dream vehicle is politically incorrect. in fact I have two: would love to own at E-type Jag and a Hummer - the Jag just because I always liked the E-type and the Hummer because they go through anything......just as the oil patch boys!!

I don't drive, but I am hoping to within the next year or two. My husband drives a 97 camaro.

I want a VW Beetle, but probably wont buy one. My husband had a Jetta and it broke and then a Golf and it broke too.

My baby, the 67 Mustang, has been in the garage since early December. Since DH is out on workman's comp, we've been driving his car--a 2007 Honda CRV. We also have a 1995 Ford Contour that is falling apart (bought it 6 years ago when our daughter was learnng to drive). I drive it in the summer 'cause it has ac, and in the winter 'cause it has front wheel drive. Of course, it broke down yesterday so now it's sitting at the mechanics.


Someday, if the Mustang goes to that big corral in the sky, I'd love to have some kind of Jeep.

I drive a 98 Ranger XLT 4x4, and as I'm a pick-up and muscle car kind of gal, my dream car would be to custom build a 64 Fairlane 429 Police Interceptor.

I drive a 2011 Mustang V6 with a 6 spd manual.

I also have been driving our 1992 Acura Integra LS 5spd a few nights a week because Rob and I carpool most school nights and it saves a few miles on the Mustang (got the Mustang in July, already has 17k miles!)

And I drive a 1999 Ford F350 dually 5spd, but it's in the shop getting little quirky things worked on, preparing for a trip to Maine or New Jersey this year.

Dream car is a 67 Camaro RS/SS
Has been since I was a kid.

As my daily driver I drive a 2009 Nissan Frontier pick up.


For my weekend enjoyment I have this bad boy sitting in the garage

I have a 2004 Dodge Stratus. I like it enough. It was what we could afford when my brand new mini van was totaled by someone not paying attention, and our insurance agent was out of town and not able to fight for us when the other person's agent screwed us on how much the van was worth.

We rented a Camry when we drove down to look for houses this last weekend, and it was WONDERFUL!! We've rented a lot of cars (every time we go out of town on a drive more than a couple hours) and the Camry was by far the most comfortable car we've ever had. I would love to get one. The only thing I didn't like about it was it had a "silver" coated center console and by the handles on the doors, and it scratched easily. There were already a bunch of huge marks on the one we rented. Otherwise it was a great car.
