I love cars. I'm curious as to what kind of car do you or your family drive. I'll start it off. I own a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Surpreme coupe. It's a low milage car with only 67.500 miles! It 's teal blue in color (when the salt is washed off of it!).

An Acura something or other. I let my husband buy the car. All I wanted and got
were seat heaters, intermittant wipers and automatic door locks. Other than that I really didn't care. Although later I had to admit I love my car.

well i had a ford fiesta but i ended up chucking it in the bin because it didnt make it through TUVit was 20 years old. I dont have my license yet but i learned "illegally" at a place where there was nothing. the car was hard to use.

My bf bought a ford sierra coupe` its a special edition.
But the ford sierras in america look totally different.

2003 Hyundai Elantra - kind of a desert sand colour:-). It is my 4th Hyundai - I started back in 1988 with a white Pony, then got a second hand blue Excel, and then a beautiful dusky mauve Accent in 2000 that I had to sell when I moved to the States - I loved that car! I really like the Elantra too:-).

My husband has a dark green Volkswagen Golf diesel that he really, really likes.

Hehehehehe, I love it!

My very first car was in 1980 - it was a 1974 big monster of a car - a green Ford Galaxie 500 - so of course, it's name became "Nessie":-). One of the kindest cars I have ever had - when it finally died, everything went all at the same time so I wasn't lured into trying to fix it by bits and pieces and wasting a lot of money (unlike Nessie's replacement!)

I drive a 97 Saturn SL1, bergundy colored. It may not be the prettiest or fastest car, but NEVER has their been a problem with it! Plus Saturn has amazing customer service (they sent me chocolate chip cookies once haha).

My boyfriend loves Volvo's. He owns a 95 Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon, teal. He absolutely adores it.

Unfortunately I have a 2003 Sunfire


I hate it soooooo.
It's the new weird body style too.. I wish my dad had just spent the money to fix the Audi's transmission. I could have driven that for all of time.

Suzuki Swift (it's a hatchback).
It's 8 years old, and supposed to be red, but I live down a farm lane, so even if I washed it, it'd be mud all over by the time I'd gone 100 yards. Besides, I'm convinced the mud is holding the car together.
I got mixed up with a LandRover Defender last year; my car has a bent passenger door, but the landrover's bumper got broken right off!
It's a good car though, steady but sure, and economical.

Ha, you rock even more than I thought!
I, too, have a Saturn. I drive a 2002 silver SL sport Saturn with a sunroof and spoiler. It was my first-even brand-new car when I got it for graduation
Love it, love Saturns.

Husband and I both drive VW Passat diesels - his is a wagon TDI, mine (not a TDI)is a sedan. LOVE the mileage - he gets 1200+ km/tank of fuel and I'm getting about 1100+ km/tank. (Mine is a 1995 - his is 1997).

Want my next car to be a Jetta TDI

I drive a '03 Chevy S-10 extended cab, bright yellow. I love it, it's loaded inside. I've added a few things like new wheels, tinted windows and a grill guard. I love it so much! I got it new and it was the first non-crappy vehicle I'd ever owned.
