2002 Saturn with 268K miles.
That I hate car payments, and believe in driving a car until the wheels fall off.
It’s O.K.
Sure, I’ll take a Bugatti Divo.

Daily driver: 1999 GMC Sierra Z71 (last year of the classic body style)
Also have a 2015 Chevy Express 15-passenger van
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. It’s got a great backseat for lugging the kids around, and it’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.
Thanks! I’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.
Daily, a 2011 Ford Ranger.
also in the garage are a 2017 Yamaha FZ-09 and a 2018 H-D Street Glide.
2008 Dodge Charger R/T. Gray.
It probably says: ‘He bought another car?!’
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 I’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 I’m cheap, value reliability over style, and don’t have any kids. I love it and don’t want a change, but I wouldn’t mind upgrading the stereo to something with Bluetooth.
2013 Prius. As a lifelong sci-fi fan, this is the next best thing to a hover car!
2012 Volvo XC90
Bottom-of-the-line 2011 Dodge Caliber (the dealer’s loss leader, and the salesbeing was somewhat miffed that I couldn’t/wouldn’t be upsold).
What does it say about me? Time magazine called the styling “dorky,” 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 I’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.
I guess what it says about me is that I don’t care if I arrive at work sweaty.
To paraphrase Tom Waits :
Hey Emil, I think I’m happy
For the first time since my accident
I wish I had all the money
That we used to spend on dope
I’d buy me a used car lot
And I wouldn’t sell any of ‘em
I’d just drive a different car every day
Dependin’ on how I feel
Most often one of the BMW’s (e10, e30’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.
Don’t ride the bikes much anymore, but the Honda’s are catching up to the Suzuki’s.
No one will own up to driving a minivan other than me?
Now I really feel uncool.

[li]2018 Kia Stinger – Panthera grey[/li][li]If you don’t know what it is, you think “Eh, grey sedan from Korea. Unexciting, reasonable middle aged dude.”[/li][li]If you DO know what it is, you think “I wonder if what they say about those things is true…” And then you ask if I’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 I’ve worked hard and done right by those in my care, and that it’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 person’s ride. I wanted a sedan that looked as cool, but not an old man car (because I’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 didn’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 I’m also practical and cheap because otherwise I’d have a a Cayman R and a pickup if I had the cash.
White 2015 GMC Canyon…FWD four door.
