Your current wheels....

No pictures handy, but I switch between 2, depending on the weather:

2009 Toyota Tacoma (TRD Sport, Long bed, double cab, 4WD) in Magnetic Gray
2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 (bright red)

2009 Subaru, and lovin it.
 
2006 Honda Ridgeline, for hauling the skis, bike, etc. around.

2006 BMW 330Ci convertible, for all other times. Since moving back to CA, I haven't put the top up yet. Gotta love having a garage. :)

Oh, and for commuting most days to/from work: Specialized Crosstrail Elite :)

Cheers,
-CM-
 
I have a 2006 Toyota Solara in dark blue (named Gilgamesh). Because I was so busy studying for the Bar, he hasn't needed a refill in six weeks. I like him because he looks great, particularly in that royal blue color.

Hubby drives a 2003 Toyota Highlander in light blue (named Galahad). He was our “not settling” car--at least what we could afford. . . He still looks good for 7yo. A few marks inside and out, but I like him.
Anyone who refers to their cars using masculine pronouns is weird.

Not surprisingly, it reminds of my former 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. Green, too? GM cars of the 1990s--those were our "settling" cars, as in we "settled" for them since we couldn't afford what we wanted.
 
Honda Prelude, the last gen.
2 door, 5 speed manual, lowered, rims, full lip kit, and a bunch of other mods. You can hear my muffler from a block away

I've driven faster cars. I drove my buddy's bmw z4 last week. Its a sweet car, but I just love the feel of a souped up Honda. You feel the road. BMWs are smooth luxury cars. You don't feel it so much. And Honda engines are high RPM. It screams.

You could be going double the speed limit in BMW but feel like you're not speeding at all cuz everything is so smooth. But with my Honda, you feel the every bump in the road and you hear the muffler, it gets the adrenaline pumping everytime. I love it. And I love scaring the shit out of my female passengers. Especially when they're drunk. It's like a rollercoaster for them.

The only thing I don't like is that my car is a police magnet. Thank God for my traffic lawyer. He is amazing.

Yeah. Personally, I'm a fan of Toyota and would love either a Corolla or Camry. Well built cars that last, for all intents and purposes, forever. Plus, they just look nice, but they're always well out of my price range, even used, unless I want one with 300,000 miles on it.
 
Currently I drive a 2005 Ford Focus ZX3. I wanted to get a used 1987 Mercedes 300E (my dream car), but my dad was dead set against another used Mercedes, because he felt another used car would be too costly to keep up, so he offered to buy me a new one. But I still want that '87 300E. Previous to the Focus, I had a 1985 Mercedes 190E 2.3, and before that, a 1982 Mercedes 240D, which was the first car I ever owned myself.

Have you thought about a Chevy, then? My mom has a Prizm, and it's the same as a Corolla, but cheaper!
 
2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
I love it. It's got great power, sweet exhaust note, smooth as butter, comfortable. 260 horses and 280 torques (:lol:) 3.8L supercharged V6
The downsides are that it's FWD, and automatic.

I really miss my 1993 Jeep Cherokee though . . .
Drove just as good through a foot of snow as on dry pavement, loads of cargo room, full/part time 4WD.
Downsides: ancient, rusty, and automatic.
I had to sell it as a parts truck because it got frame rot.

on the wishlist:
Jaguar XJS
1968 Mercury Cougar
Ford GT40 MKII
Shelby Cobra 427

I currently drive a '97 Buick century custom. However, it's just a temp driver till I can save up and track down a replacement for my true "wheels of choice" which is a full sized ford bronco. That was my last drive, but she was worn out and tossed in the towel on me with a series of malf's which were just too much to undertake repairing at the time. When it comes time I don't care how far I need to go to get it, I will be getting a '96 full sized bronco, and it will be the last car I intend to buy for the foreseeable future.
 
I drive a 1998 Toyota Camry, I've had it for over eight years.

Why do I like it? It's lasted me this long.
 
Same thing Ive been driving for the last 7 years since I left home. Which suddenly seems like a long time.

Traded my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a 2010 GC Laredo about 2 months ago. I actually managed to get the 1.9% financing plus about a $3,000 discount.

The new one has just about every option a Limited has except the V8, which I admit I would've liked.
