Cars!

What do you have and what do you want?

I currently drive a 2004 Mazda6, I love my car and I'll probably drive it until it dies.

My dream car is a Subaru WRX STI, but if I have as many babies as I want, I'll need something bigger lol

I currently drive a Toyota Corolla, but would love something bigger that's better in snow.

I currently have a 2013 Ford Explorer and I love it. I don't want anything else right now since this is exactly what I want plus it's brand new.

I drive a Mazda 3, and H drives a Mazda 6. H's lease is up in April and so we're currently figuring out what our next vehicle will be- any suggestions are welcome, we're thinking either another sedan comparable to the 6 (or another 6) or a small SUV.

I drive a half ton truck... Dodge 1500, Sport crew cab, it's alright... not my most favorite vehicle. H drives a one ton dodge for work, he thought having a "back up truck" for our vehicle was a good idea, I wanted an SUV. The half ton is a 2012, and I like it, it's got 4WD for snow and stuff so in that regard it's great, but it's just not my ideal vehicle. 

 When we trade that truck in (which if I have my way will be in the next couple years) I want an SUV, and I think i've got hubby convinced. He'll still have his truck, but I think an SUV will be better once we have kids. It will end up being a bigger SUV as we want 2 kids plus a fairly decent sized dog.... not sure what at this moment though.

After my car exploded I got a Toyota Camry and love it so much! I hope it will last me got many years!

I drive a 2012 Jeep Patriot (just got it this past summer) and so far i'm really liking it. It's not a huge SUV but I feel safer in it than I would in a car so it's just the right size for me.

I love SUVs and would never buy a car, so my dream SUV would be a Range Rover

I drive a 2001 Honda Accord and DH drives a 2002 Honda Civic. After we sell our condo DH will probably get a new car (his is smaller than mine). Once I need a new one (hoping to drive it until it dies- hopefully another few years), I will probably stick with Hondas. I may get another Accord, or if I need something bigger because of kids I'll most likely get a Pilot or CRV.

I drive a 2012 Hyundai Elantra and H has a 2012 Jeep Wrangler.  I love my Elantra if for no other reason the crazy great gas mileage I get. Previously I had a Hyundai Santa Fe which is a mid-SUV AWD and I LOVED that vehicle.  But when I had my car accident H really wanted a Jeep Wrangler and had been looking for one for years, so I figured I would cave in and get the gas mileage!  Love that I get about 30 in town and 40 highway.  Fill my car once a month and LOVE that!  H made sure I got every feature I could on it so it's loaded up with leather, navigation, XM, bluetooth, etc.  It's a fun little car to drive, but I honestly do miss my AWD in the winter time.  Husband LOVES his Jeep.  He's like a kid at Christmas everytime he drives it!

I drive a 2012 Ford Fusion, and I really like it.  I have had it for a year.  I am enjoying the mileage it gets.  Prior to this car I had a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe, that I loved to, but it bit the dust.  I wanted to get another mid-size SUV, but decided on the car.  My husband drives a 1995 Chevy Lumina that squeaks, but he rarely has it since he brings a work car home at least 2 times per week when he is on call.  We do at some point want to get an SUV again since we live in the country and could use something with a hitch to haul firewood and to get us through the snow in the winter.

I drive a Toyota Matrix. It's nice.

I would like to drive a 1964 Aston Martin DB5.

I don't know what it says about me that everyone else here seems to want totally attainable, reasonable cars. Best not to think too much about it

I drive a Chevy Cobalt that I just paid off last month!!! Woohoo, no car payment I don't know that I have a 'dream' vehicle... I don't put a lot of thought into cars/trucks/SUVs, as long as it gets me from point A to point B I'm satisfied.

I drive a 2009 Toyota Rav4 Sport. I love love love it! I'll drive it as long as it'll let me. 

H drives a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. He loves it but I'm not a huge fan. But as long as it makes him happy!

I know, I know... it's Tuesday.. but I missed the madness! 

I bought our 2008 Hyundai Elantra..  It's a great little car, but horrible in the snow (most likely my own stupidity, not having better tires for snow!)  I have less than a year left to pay it, but we'll probably keep it for a while after that.

BUT, H has been driving that lately, and I've been tooling around in the 2011 Toyota Highlander. LOVE IT.  It's a hybrid SUV, which is sort of an oxymoron, but it works. I think we actually end up with comparable or maybe even slightly better mileage than the elantra. We picked it with the expectation that if kids are in the future, it will be my 'mom car.'  I have just been driving it pre-kids

 Prior to these...  I've had at various points in my life, a 97 pontiac sunfire, a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer, and a 2001 Saab 9-5.  The elantra is my first 'new' car, though.   Those were all pre-loved.

I drive a 2006 Land Rover! I love it!

My dream car would be a 2012 Land Rover. That will never happen as they are about $70,000. So yea... lol
