2016 Ford Escape. I like the name if it because my 2014 Escape, I did have to escape from with help of the jaws of life. Deer vs Me. My days are numbered. ---

2008 Prius. Boring but effective. Previous car was 1999 Saturn (until last December). Loved that Saturn. What I would like: An orange Mini Cooper convertible. ---

2015 Ford F-150 Super Crew. Itā€™s got a great backseat for lugging the kids around, and itā€™s got a great payload, which we need for our family business. Once we got this, both my wife and I became pickup truck people for life. ---

> [@mind\_the\_gap](#): > > **Pork Rind** , may you love your MultiStrada as long as Iā€™ve loved my Buell. Thanks! Iā€™ve always had a soft spot for anything Erik Buell came up with. Except maybe the Blast. I will admit that XR600R is giving me a lot of bad ideas right about now. ---

2008 Dodge Charger R/T. Gray. It probably says: ā€˜He bought another car?!ā€™ I like the speed and power but it is really buggy. Yes, I do want a change but I just got this last November and it is financed so I would be so far upside-down on it Iā€™m pretty sure no one would touch it ---

2005 Scion xA with manual transmission. Not quite as small as a Smart Car, but I can still park it _anywhere_, which makes it great for the dense city neighborhood where I live. What does it say about me? Probably that Iā€™m cheap, value reliability over style, and donā€™t have any kids. I love it and donā€™t want a change, but I wouldnā€™t mind upgrading the stereo to something with Bluetooth. ---

Bottom-of-the-line 2011 Dodge Caliber (the dealerā€™s loss leader, and the salesbeing was somewhat miffed that I couldnā€™t/wouldnā€™t be upsold). What does it say about me? Time magazine called the styling ā€œdorky,ā€ which is pretty accurate. ---

2013 Focus ST. Nice little turbo hatchback. I bought it with 40,000 miles on it, I enjoy driving it every time. I like the touchscreen and electronics more than I thought I would. If I need to haul stuff Iā€™ll be in my 95 F-150. ---

2008 Lexus ES 350, bought used a few years back with 90K miles it. I tend to buy the Lexus ES series used when it is around 100K miles, and run them for another 200-300K or more miles. Comfy, reliable, gets me where I need to go. ---

To paraphrase **Tom Waits** : _Hey Emil, I think Iā€™m happy For the first time since my accident I wish I had all the money That we used to spend on dope Iā€™d buy me a used car lot And I wouldnā€™t sell any of ā€˜em Iā€™d just drive a different car every day Dependinā€™ on how I feel_ Most often one of the BMWā€™s (e10, e30ā€™s, 740), or one of the pick-ups (Ford, Nissan), sometimes the little shit-car, The Volvo sometimes, but almost every day, without fail, The Jeep to take the dogs out in the desert for their constitutional. Donā€™t ride the bikes much anymore, but the Hondaā€™s are catching up to the Suzukiā€™s. ---

[ul] [li]2018 Kia Stinger ā€“ Panthera grey[/li][li]If you donā€™t know what it is, you think ā€œEh, grey sedan from Korea. Unexciting, reasonable middle aged dude.ā€[/li][li]If you DO know what it is, you think ā€œI wonder if what they say about those things is trueā€¦ā€ And then you ask if Iā€™ll let you drive me around a bit. (And I will. Because it IS true, and I collect cheesy grins.)[/li][li]What it says to _me_ about me is that Iā€™ve worked hard and done right by those in my care, and that itā€™s ok to be good to me for a change.[/li][li]I do like it. A lot. [/li][li]It IS the change, actually. Couple years ago I was treated to a 2016 Subaru BRZ. Which was very fun and satisfying to drive, but not very practical or comfortable, and honestly it was a younger personā€™s ride. I wanted a sedan that looked as cool, but not an old man car (because Iā€™m neither young nor old). Went shopping with my wife and we ended up leaving her '15 Dodge Journey at the dealership and riding home in a red Stinger (she HAD to have it). After a couple months of eyeballing her sporty, practical ride every morning as I crawled into my BRZ I remembered I still wanted something practical. She took me shopping again. Tried a Civic Si & BMW 330i, and didnā€™t care for either of them. Ended up at the Kia dealer.[/li][/ul] ---

07 Subaru Legacy Wagon with some aftermarket kit. It says I want to have fun, but Iā€™m also practical and cheap because otherwise Iā€™d have a a Cayman R and a pickup if I had the cash. ---
