Just retired my Honda Civic and now I am driving an Accord. I love Honda's and doubt I will ever own anything else.... well except maybe an Acura but that doesn't count

I had a 2004 Chevy Impala for 2 years, but about a month ago I traded that in for a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix and I LOVE IT! I will drive that car until it dies!

I drive a 1999 Chevy Cavalier. I bought it new in 1998. We did have problems with it and I always said I didnt like it but the last 2 years it has worked wonderful. Was seriously thinking of getting something a tad bigger since I am traveling to cat shows now but with gas prices I am thinking of keeping this car.

I loved my sunfire. It was so cute. The only thing I didn't like about it was it had no power so you couldn't pull out in front of anyone and kick it and go.I haven't had any problems with the sunfire except the wreck!
We still use it as a "yard car" to drive back and forth to his parents house next door. I LOVE my prelude though. So much fun to drive. When it dies we are going to drop a new engine in it and make it manual.

I've got a 1996 Chevy Berreta with 130,000 miles. As nice as a new car would be I can justify getting rid of Fred as long as he keeps on running. (Ok so my car has a name too, I figure since men always call their cars she I would give my a male name)

Mine was Sally the Sunfire.
To me cars are girls and trucks and SUV's are boys. I don't know why they just are!!

We're on our second VW Passat. I never liked the first one, but the one we got in February is a diesel station wagon, and I love it. It's bigger than the old one, but much easier to back up, because the rear window is bigger. It's an automatic, too - I got sick of shifting gears!

I drive a pair of sandals, a pair of sneakers, and sometimes a seat on the bus.

No gasoline prices for me!!!

My boyfriend did that with his civic, he actually got an engine and tranny shipped from Japan and swapped from his automatic.. Crazy guy!!

I no longer drive, but I own a 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4 with the offroad package and a 3inch factory body lift and a 3inch factory suspension lift.

I used to belong to an offroad club.
I'm not one of those people who buys a 4x4 and only uses it for street driving

You were right about the mileage - We've gotten gas once since February, and figure we can get to Hungary (700 km) on less than a tank.
