Just bought a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz and love it! Still have my 1998 Nissan Altima and 1996 Mercury Villager mini-van (the dog show mobile). Anybody want to buy an Altima or Villager? LOL! I usually buy used and drive them forever but we got a fantastic deal on the Veracruz. Thank you eBay! haha Flew from AL to Cleveland OH to pick it up (Stevie, stopped in Frankfort and Lexington on the way home).
My other car is a 1972 Toyota Carina. Dad bought it brand new in '72 for a grand total of $1500. Or was that $1200? I can't remember. 242,000+ miles later the original engine died. Dropped a used engine from Japan in it and it kept running 'till I parked it in '97. I've neglected the poor thing and it needs a TOTAL rebuild. Maybe I can harass my husband into getting it for me (from my parents house) so we can start restoration. It was a really neat car!
My baby is a 01 Dodge Durango SLT--a little heavy in the gas department but it will out run mu hubbys 89 Chevy POS truck!!! A nice black with tinted windows and a new flip-out radio :)
They are starting to get a little older but they are paid for. We take extremely good care of the vehicles because we drive the same one until the wheels fall off and can't be put back on. I had a black Grand Prix for 12 years that I only replaced it because a kid hit it broad side and bent and twisted the frame so it was unfixable.
I'm not really a car person, but I looove my Mazda. The only other inanimate object I've been this in love with is my first DSLR. I used to drive a Honda but I'm "selling" that one to my partner. ;) (Yes, I'm being cryptic about the models for a reason.)

A Yaris! I was actually one of the first people in the US to own one. I have the papers showing the Japanese shipping information. They rolled out the display car for me and I bought it!

Mine. '97 Toyota 4Runner SR5 6cyl 4wd. Paid cash in '96. Still runs, looks, smells like new. 20 mpg. Next car will be a Segway. :)
Below: Taken 2003 maybe?
Taken just now where I park at work.
I have a 07 Cadillac SRX, it's smaller than the Escalade but still seats 9.
Just bought it last week. Before that I had a 06 Pointiac Torrent, I think it's the same thing as the GMC Envoy.
I love the new one!
I drive a 2008 Toyota Corolla, like this one (which is not mine) ... only dirty because I don't ever wash it... :)
