No more so than the women who open their closet doors, stare at the vast assortment of clothing and declare they have nothing to wear. And a good car is like a good woman, if you wake up one morning and she’s gone, you know it wasn’t by _her_ choice. 😉 ---

In an ideal world where I had no debt and/or a higher salary, I would drive either the new Prius (for longer trips) or the Smart Fortwo (for bopping around the GTA). I would also have an honest-to-god non-poseur _pickup truck_ (with cap), all dented and used, but still in prome working condition, for haulin’ stuff. Other possibilites include the Toyota Echo hatch, the Subaru Outback, and, for sheer massivity, the Chrysler 300 sedan (the new one), the front end of which IMHO has the look that Rolls-Royce tried for and failed to attain. Currently I have no car, just a bus pass. ---

A 1997 Red Acura Integra. !20 thousand miles on it. I expect another hundred thou before I replace it. ---

I own a 1991 GMC Jimmy SLE with 136,000 miles on it. I like it and with the 4 wheel drive I can get through the snow. I also own a 1984 Pontiac Parisienne that has 209,000 miles on it and it still runs great. I plan on giving this to my son. Nothing like a tank for your first car. ---

A '98 Toyota Camry and an '02 Subaru Forester. Practical, reliable, and not very interesting. ---

I have a black 2000 GMC Sierra crew cab. It’s been extremely useful over the years (moved the entire contents of my apartment to my new house with it), but I got a new job with a longer commute and it isn’t much fun to drive in heavy traffic. It’s getting traded in on a new 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee - the one with the HEMI. I really wanted a new 2005 corvette convertible, but you can’t drive them in the snow. I hate being practical. ☹ ---

Driving: Silver 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS. Manual 6 speed mostly stock. ~70,000 miles in the 34 months I’ve had her. Want: 2004 Nissan 350Z or a G35x Coupe. Drooool. ---

I have a white 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, with the Quad Cab and 4WD and a big ol’ dent in the side. It’s done me pretty well for 106,000 mile, except that transmission I had to rebuild. Cowboy has a 2004 Dodge one-ton dually diesel with almost as many miles on it. We’re both pretty hard on our trucks. A dream vehicle would be… an '05 3/4 diesel Ram, or if I was really getting crazy, a Ford. Yeah, I live for the practical. **Chefguy** , my Dad has two cars that are almost your dream - a '66 Gran Prix convertible and a '67 GTO. He’s restored them both, as well as other Pontiacs when I was younger. ---

> [@WVmom](#): > > 2004 Audi A4 Quattro. 3.0. 6 speed. I love my car. Mine’s an '02, no quatro, sport package, 3.0 with the cvt tranny. Which means I got you by couple tenths 0-60. 😉 It’s dolphin grey, black leather interior. I’m thinking about having some striping done, if I find somebody good enough. And I don’t blame you, I also love my car. ---

'99 VW Passat 4D sedan. It’s been utterly dependable, is comfortable, hauls almost anything a sedan will haul, and has a great clean baby-Audi look. Only minor giveback is that the CD player is in the trunk. ---

Everyday: 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee (not the “Limited”), 4x4, 5.2 liter V8. Not since I returned it without washing it: 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sport, hard and soft top (it belongs to Mom). Sometimes on weekends: 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 four-door sedan, 352 cubic inch V8 engine with a four-barrel carburator (technically Mom’s, but she won’t drive it). Not unless it’s an emergency: 1990 and 1999 Chevrolet Suburbans (both Dad’s).
