My car is a Millenium Year (built the decade before) Ford Taurus, finished in silver, complete with 2 sun visors a side (so you can put one to the side window, one down), electronic climate control, power seat/pedals/lumbar/windows/doorlocks/trunk... I cannot drive any vehicle without a leather wrapped wheel now I also called the auto crushers to take the 02 Camry away I like my car, save both have a gazillion miles on them. I purchased the Taurus cuz it was the only car I could afford and I needed a working car, that was cheaper then the new engine required in the Camry, along with the shocks, brakes, tires... My dream car is a Corvette Any year, I don't car, stick please

The story of my car is that is the first car I ever bought new and paid off, all by myself. When it was finally paid off and I got the title from my credit union in the mail I actually teared up, because I was so dang proud of myself.

Henceforth she bought a her first motorcycle and I bought my umpteenth. We will be riding down to Disneyland the week after next, we are very excited. All other times I can be found aboard a sleek fast racing bicycle. PS. I HATE driving cars!

I needed to haul teenagers and their junk! It gets us comfortably to Disneyland in 5.5 hours; has 5 power outlets so said teens can watch movies and play X-box on roadtrips; and 10 has cupholders, LOL!

Originally Posted By officerminnie Vehicle? 2003 Nissan Altima. Get to work? I drive 8 miles to work every day - no freeway so it takes about 20 minutes. Color?

When DH died, I decided I needed something really reliable, so I bought my very first brand new car. I had been thinking about a small SUV, but every time I saw an Altima, I thought to myself "Man, that's a nice looking car". So I did my research and went and bought it all by myself, which was kinda scary! And actually, I consider that one of my greater accomplishments in the past 2 1/2 years.
Originally Posted By friendofdd What's your vehicle? I have several, but for this questionaire it is a Motorscooter. A 2005 Suzuki 650 burgman. It has enough storage for grocery shopping if I want. It averages 45-50 mpg in town and is always fun to ride, freeways or surface streets. How do you get to work (Ie walk, take a scenic road, shortest way)? No longeer go to work, but do go to DL frequently. 30 minutes surface and 15 minutes freeway. Also get preferred parking in chip & dale or pinnochio parking lots because it is a two-wheeler. What colour is your car? (Or paint scheme or bus system locally) Royal Blue Do you like your car? Love it. I chose it specifically last fall for my transportation needs. Is there a story to why you purchased it? I had owned my previous motorcycle for 18 years and felt the need for something more modern. But I still own, and ride, a smaller scooter also 18 years old. A 1987 Honda 150 Elite. Color is pearl.
Originally Posted By TomSawyer What's your vehicle? We traded in the ZX3 that I loved for the Mazda MPV that I'm not quite as enamored with. We kept the 99 Saturn that my wife had when we met.

Some mornings I just hop on the freeway and get there in 10 minutes. Other mornings I like to take one of several different surface routes so I can listen to the radio and relax and see what's going on in the city. I would take the bus, but I pick up the kid at daycare and I only have a couple of hours to spend with her so I don't want to lose out on any of that time. (The bus commute would only take me half an hour, but it's a 10 minute drive) What colour is your car? The Saturn is dark blue. The MPV is silver Do you like your car? I love the fuel economy of the Saturn. I only use about 10 gallons a month to commute. And I do really like the MPV. It's smaller than most minivans but still has plenty of room to haul our stuff. And it's loaded with features. Is there a story to why you purchased it? My wife bought her Saturn after her 88 Prelude gave up the ghost a few weeks before her post-doc internship was supposed to start. We got the minivan because a two door small car wasn't going to cut it once we both went back to work after Anna was born. We found the MPV in the year we wanted - the last year before Ford started putting their engines in them which just happened to be the year before their reliability ratings plummeted.

I was in a car accident the year after that (which I like to call "Kez vs. a 12-tonne truck!") and ever since, even though I obviously got it repaired, the car made a funny noise when I accelerated too heavily or braked. I finally got sick of hearing it and having it remind me of the accident, so I made the hard decision to part with her and I knew exactly what I'd upgrade to It's the first time I've had a car loan and even though I'm less than 1/5th of the way through, I feel rather proud of myself and I'm happy I've done it!

My biggest decision of the day is which one to drive to work. They both get about the same mileage but I want to save the Cadi so I drive the C-10 about 75% of the time. I also bought the pickup so my kids would have something to borrow.
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS What's your vehicle? 2003 Jeep Liberty How do you get to work? It's about 3 miles to work so I do drive the Liberty. What colour is your car? The color is called Khaki, so it's a really light tan on some days and looks olive on other days. Go figure. Do you like your car? I absolutely love it. Just wish I didn't jump into buying it so fast so I would have thought to ask if it had cruise control..It doesn't. But I still love it! Is there a story to why you purchased it? I had a 1991 Lumina that decided when it wanted to actually work and I got really tired of that. There were many many times that I was stuck on the freeway or in an intersection. The car would just stop dead in it's tracks. It ended up being something wrong with the tranny but no one could figure it out. I sold it to someone at my dad's work for $1000. My credit is crappy so my uncle, who is a veteran, was able to co-sign for me and get me great financing, along with tons of rebates because of his veteran status. He told me to test drive everything, make sure I could afford the payments, and I bought the first car I test drove. I hate taking the bus!!

If I'm late I drive the most direct route which gets me there in 8 minutes. But I prefer the scenic route, which is actually very scenic. What colour is your car? (Or paint scheme or bus system locally) My car is Le Monde Sunset which is sort of a metallic caramel orange. I'd prefer taking public trans if we had a half decent system here. Do you like your car? I LOVE my car. Is there a story to why you purchased it? I have always driven a sedan or large van (used to show Great Danes) or a smaller SUV. My kids are grown (no more car pools); my dad left me some money. It was between a Toyota, Altima or this. The deciding factor was when I asked my sister-in-law (who is very practical) what I should do, she said take the sports car - you really deserve it, lol.
