Odyssey van when I'm hauling gear and an Acura TL-S when I'm not. Next car? I don't have a toy car at the moment so I'm itching to have one again (I used to have a Lotus). I like the mid 80's Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolets a lot, or a carb 308. I never had a Ferrari and I'm not getting any younger!
1. 97 Honda Civic
2. I don't know. I'm not into fancy cars so this isn't something I think about. Despite it being 18 years old, my Civic only has 134K miles and I plan on driving it until it doesn't run anymore--which will be a long time considering how many miles a Honda can go
05 f250 but ford is bringing back the bronco based on the f150 in 2016 and I have a major hard on for one. my aunt drove a 92 Honda civic to 300000 miles and when she traded it in it only used a quart of oil between changes.
08 Ford Fusion interested in the new Broncos that will be out soon. And an old lead sled Merc or maybe a Pontiac Cheiftain for a rat rod / project car.
A 90 something Subaru Forrester. It's got 230 some thousand miles on it. I'll drive it into the dirt and then pick up something else I can drive until it dies.
"Sports cars are expensive and unnecessary luxuries."
I get that view. But the same thing could be said about strippers or lots of other very fun indulgences. A mustang is a good compromise because it's a fun sports car that costs no more than a nice truck.
"I would rather be riding that chick in your avatar Mr Smith."
Holdem, that girl is the hottest woman I've ever seen naked second only to my DS. If you guys are nice I'll post a link to her pictures one day soon.
2015 Kia Sorento - even with all the bells & whistles, I miss my 2011 Honda Accord v6. If I could get rid of the Kia, I'd probably go back to a Honda Accord.
2000 Honda Civic (black; 2D Coupe EX 5-sp) w/ 200k mi.
But it new in 2000 and thought I would only keep it 3 years at most – kept it mostly out of laziness and not wanting to invest in a new car since cost of ownership for the Civic is super-low (never breaks down; excellent gas mileage; cheap to insure).
But – I’m planning on getting another car this year in the spring time or so – looking at a 2012 Lexus ES350 – I like luxury cars and this seems fairly affordable/good-value and nothing else really turns me on w/o having to pay a lot more.
Another Mustang GT owner here. In addition to John Smith's comments, the Mustang can carry a lot of stuff, with fold down rear seat. Another thing I like about it is it is still a bit "old school". As in not being so dependent on an electronic key fob for things like keyless entry and start.
As for next car, maybe I'll get a Vette again if I stumble upon the next Amazon or Microsoft.
Shailynn, I make maybe a tenth of what you thought everyone here made.
1) 2009 Toyota Corolla. It's earning its keep at work.
2) What's next and when? Whenever I can't drive the Toyota any more, I'll try to find another used car of recent years and low mileage.
1. Presently drive a 2013 Hyundai Elantra.
2. Haven't really thought about it yet, but something similar to the Hyundai Elantra, probably. If they still have Lincoln MKZ's when I decide to get a new one, I might get one of them.
Currently, our family rides are my 2006 Dodge Charger R/T and my wife's 2003 Pacifica AWD, both of which we love. No plans for a replacement of either, yet. Now that I'm retired and not putting a lot of miles on the cars I may go the certified used route on my next one.
@shailynn: No shit! What a bunch of boring ass cars! What's wrong with you guys, wife won't let you buy toys?
I rarely took the Lotus to the club as too many people knew the car, but I took it everywhere else: bowling league, shopping, taking the kids to their various events, just as long as it wasn't raining. I miss LMN, at least he had style!
rock,
One of my non boring ass cars got taken out by hurricane andrew, Irreplaceable! The other, got beat out by the Harley, so it went to a more caring owner for restoration.
