I drive a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire Sport. I hate it. It is really small. Plus it's only a two-door and getting William in and out of the back-seat is a hassle. I rally want a SV. The guy I bought my car from (he owns a small repair shop an often buys wrecked cars and fixes them up to sell them) has a black SUV. I am not sure what kind it is, but it is really pretty. I want it :D unfortunatly, I am in no financial position to buy a new car. Im still paying this car off. I have about $700.
The nice thing about this guy that I bought my car from is that he will fix anything under the hood really cheap for me. The front end of my car was entirely smashed in so anything wrong under the hood is something that he had to fix, so he fixes anything under he hood. IE: my air conditioner/heater vents stopped working. I called him and dropped my car off. Two hours later he called and said they were fixed and I went to pick up my car and he had written down what was wrong and what he did to fix them. he knows that even if he explained it to me I wouldnt understand, so he gave me that so I could give it to my dad for him to know. If I had tried to relay an explination it would have been more like " well, that one thing that controls that other thing wasnt working so he replaced the thingy-ma-bobber" haha

2001 Ford Focus. Cute car, fun to drive. FORD = Found On Road Dead. I have had so many repair bills with this car and I'm so sick of it. Freaking thing caught FIRE a few months ago after the power steering line wiggled loose and a hole rubbed in it, spraying power steering fluid everywhere, which ignited on the engine.

Next time I'm buying Asian.

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee, that I love. I can go anywhere in my Jeep and know I can get out ;). I downsized from a Chevy Sub and thought that I'd miss the size and space I had, but I actually don't miss it all.

We have a 1999 dodge ram. It's been good to us over the years but now starting to act up. It has over 165,000 miles on it now. It is horrible on gas... we go through about 100 bucks a week on gas. I think it's getting around 12 or 13 miles to the gallon. Some of the bugs in it are normal wear and tear but it's all happening at once...lol. We really need another vehicle but we're holding off until things are financially better.

What I really want is a chrysler 300.... a black one fully loaded. Arielle is looking into a ford focus when she finally gets around to getting her license and a job..lol.

I used to be a loyal chevy person until I didn't like any particular chevy at the time when we were shopping around for a new vehicle. I like a comfortable ride and I want something better on gas. I like a lot of room and of course a lot of options with the vehicle. Safety is also a criteria... I don't want something that will fold up like an accordian on impact. And of course price is a huge criteria..lol.

2005 Ford Taurus. I wouldn't buy one again...I can't anyway, since I believe that was the last year they were made. Because of that, that year was made to be fleet cars, and the gas mileage is TERRIBLE. I get about 14mpg. :(

I would never have guessed a ford taurus would be that bad on gas.... wow, that's not much better than my big truck!

Me neither. I just assumed it would be in the normal range for a car, so I bought it. Most Tauruses are fine on gas. It's just that particular year that is bad. It makes me so angry, though, because I have years on a car loan for a car that I don't want anymore. Grrr. Other than the gas mileage, I do like the car.

Up until now, my family has been really partial to Nissan. My van is A 1993 Dodge Caravan, so I sort of broke tradition. I was saving up for a Nissan Sentra (we had rented one when I was first learning to drive and I loved it) but the van was handy and we were desperate, so there you have it. :)

A car has lasted you two years scob???? What have you done with the scob we know and love that likes to blow up things?
Hey now, He hasn't gone anywhere. This is my second 95 Grand Prix. My first one went up in flames and insurance got me this one. On the other hand the 1999 Ford Ranger that I had lasted about a year and that was that.

A minivan pulled out in front of me.
