I drive a 2006 Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck. I like to call it my “kite-mobile”, because I carry my kites and other kite related stuff in it, whenever I want to go kiteflying or otherwise hob-nob with my fellow kite people! ---

> [@Balthisar](#): > > I’m currently driving a company Expedition (much newer than my own). This thing is so loaded, I’m not sure I’ll ever need to be a Lincoln customer again! It’s kind of a comfortably dangerous ride, though, because every once in a while I look down and have to slow down in a _big_ hurry because I realize that I’m doing over 100 mph. Heh. Same thing happens with hubby’s BMW. With my Chevy, I have to work at it to keep it pegged to 65 on highways where that’s the speed limit (lest I annoy other drivers by going “too slow”), but in the Bimmer, I’ll be cruising down the same highway, look down, and go :eek: “better slow it down; I’m at 95mph!” You simply don’t _feel_ the speed in that car! And it certainly doesn’t have to be ‘coaxed’ to go ‘zoom-zoom’! ---

2005 Toyota Camry LE Only 45,000 miles. God willing, my answer to this question will be the same in 2019. ---

I was waffling between basic family car and econo-box. Then I decided an econo-box would be an Element or a Scion or one of those other toasters on wheels, so I shoved the family Altima into the family category. P.S. I don’t drive. Don’t know how, never learned. This fact astounds many people. ---

I voted my Honda CR-V because that is MY daily driver. We also have a Smart Fortwo Diesel which gets around 68 mpg. ---

You forgot to include “None” as an option. I do not need to own a car here in New York City, and owning one here is grossly inconvenient in ways non-residents can’t even imagine. So I don’t have one. ---

So I don’t have one. This is why I never learned how to drive. Born and raised in NYC, no car necessary-- or even desirable. 4 adults live here and only one knows how to drive. And he learned while at college in Alaska. Now that we live in the wild and untamed mini-malls of Long Island-- we can still make due with public transportation most of the time. But it ain’t like in the city. ---

Unless I get lucky in life, this may be my only opportunity to own a Porsche. Turbo 911s didn’t exist until '75. Whether it’s a '71 or a later year turbo, you should buy it either way. ---

Mazdaspeed3, so I picked small sports car even though people think it’s a station wagon or SUV. :rolleyes: It corners, brakes, and accelerates like hell. ---

01 Dodge RAM3500 for those runs to Costco 04 Saturn ION for my wife 08 Kawasaki Ninja 250 that belongs to my wife, but I ride. Truck and bike in storage. We sold the Saturn a few months ago, but when we get back we will be buying something similar, buying two cruisers, and the Ninja will be sold. My wife figured out she isn’t a sport bike type, and I knew I wasn’t. -Otanx [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-kind-of-car-vehicle-do-you-drive/511568.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-kind-of-car-vehicle-do-you-drive/511568.md?page=4)
