I take the train to work, and hubby goes by bike. We live in a small town, and I usually walk to the bank, bakery, etc.. I use the car at most once a week. Since we got the new one, hubby has been using it a bit more, I suppose because of the novelty, but neither of us is "commuting" with it. Gas is over $6 a gallon here, so a diesel is really worthwhile.

02' Chevy Trailblazer, and I LOVE it! except for the fact that it's a lemon and I won't be dealing with my dealer anymore after I'm done leasing it, I might lease one through another dealer cuz I like it so much!

2004 Chrysler Sebring- I've not really "bonded" with it though, and after 2 years I'm figuring I probably won't! but its a good car, almost 60,000 miles in a little over 2 years with not a problem, and I'm not so good about getting regular oil changes
with the amount I drive, I just hope it lasts until I pay it off.... with the gas prices I should've gotten a Toyota Corolla

I'm not one of those people who buys a 4x4 and only uses it for street driving
Hmm, check out our jeep! (We don't use it for street driving)

I "share" a car with my little sister, but I really only use it a few times each quarter. We drive a 2005 Honda Civic.

Otherwise, my "car" is an old Trek Mountain Track 820, affectionately referred to as "the Ghetto Blaster". I think I'm going to cash the ol' girl in for an updated road bike this summer.

1995 VW Jetta five speed. I hate automatics. I only like German cars, they hold the road so much better then any other kind of car. My next car will be 1999 VW GTI 5 Speed, black. Its my parents and I will be getting it within a year. I cant wait.

1989 Toyota Corolla, still running the original clutch at 277,000 (and change) kilometres. I put in something just under 40 litres of gas every two weeks or so. Sheba's doing pretty well, has quite enough pep for a couple of old fuddy-duddies, and doesn't give us any grief. My first car was a Corolla, and my last was a Honda Civic that I drove for 18+ years. Rob's last car was a Datsun 510 that he drove for 15 years or so before we got Sheba. When the time comes, we'll likely go Toyota or Honda again.

A 2001 Woodland Pearl Toyota Corolla is what I drive (when I actually drive, I'm more of a bus/metrorail person). I *heart* Chuck; yes, my car does have a name. I think Chuck will be around for a very long time!
