    Healthy living begins with a walk.

    I walk to my car every morning

    This is exactly why I joined MFP and participate in the forums.

    The motivation received here is unsurpassed... yet I must admit, you sir have set the bar very, very high.

    Exercizesing iz Hard !

    :)
    I'm all for great exercise and healthy living. I actually do walk quite a bit on a regular day. The thread is titled; Let's talk about our cars!, so about my automobile I spoke . The direction was changing, so I walked it back on track. Like a train. Now I've got to find a way to get a plane in here...

    I drive a Lexus ES350.

    Previous car was a Honda Civic.

    First car was an Acura Integra.


    I've had both the Lexus and the Acura Integra.

    The Integra was a blast to drive.

    The Lexus was silky smooth, I just want my cars the same way I like my womenz...

    fast, responsive, a lil' rough around the edges & unforgiving.

    I loved all of these cars. All reliable and easy to drive. Asian cars FTW.

    I’m getting a Tesla next though. White with white leather interior.

    2017 Mitsubishi Mirage.
    Most people think it's the size of a Smart Car. Then they get in and realize it's actually a comfortable ride at 4 and can seat 5 (3 smaller in the back), so perfect to haul the kiddos if necessary.

    It gets 40-45 mpg, so that's a bonus and it's a manual. I crack up every time kids' friends get in and are like "whoa, you drive a stick?"

    i drive an 05 chevy pickup with like 92,000 on the odometer, but this year everything started falling apart on it. Finally got the mechanical issues fixed now though, plus some extras.

    put some bilsteins under it to help smooth out the ride. upgraded the middle jump seat to a folding console with extra storage. upgraded the stereo head unit to one of those fancy ones with apple carplay. new speakers, new subwoofer too. i put in LED headlights and resurfaced the lenses so i can actually see at night again. i put in new door rubbers so it seals better and cuts down on road noise on the highway especially. new neoprene seat covers. new dash cam. new backup camera to go with the new head unit. even put a volant intake under the hood. tons of other little stuff i can't even remember.

    1989 Camry - First car I owned. Over 200,000 miles. Stick shift. Bought for $2000 from a neighbor while I was working at Toys 'R Us in college. Totaled in a crash.

    1997 Malibu - Bought for $3100. Ran it into the ground until the power steering broke. Donated to charity.

    2001 BMW 323i Convertible - Bought for $4500. Totaled while coming back on a road trip. Hit a patch of ice on the freeway and spun into a guard rail.

    1999 Infiniti G20 - Bought for $5500 at 35,000 miles. Amazing deal and it is super reliable. Almost about to hit 100,000 miles on it.

    Tomorrow is my last car payment! The idea of no car payments is somewhat freeing.

    I love my car, fingers crossed it lasts a while. It's never given me any trouble, so far, except when it decided to get stuck in a snow bank (my fault, I suppose) and humiliate me in front of the neighbours.

    Now I get to decide what to spend the "extra" money on! Surely I should spend it self indulgently, and not sensibly!

    Congratulations!

    My car was a Prado 4 wheel drive. It got left behind in the garage in the flood and now I have a very cute red Mazda 3 with lots of bells and whistles but I'll miss my 2 petrol tanks in the Prado.

    I was hoping "cars" was code for something else and I would stumble upon a secret MFP club. When in Rome...

    I have a Subaru outback. It's like a mini tank on wheels. A real tank would be MUCH cooler.

    That is awesome 🙂 I say, splurge and get yourself something nice 🤗

    Not too practical when you have a 45 mile one way commute.

    2004 vw Jetta diesel with 340,000miles on it, get 50+mpg hwy at 75mph. Best car ever. Not a single warning light in dash on!
    My fun car is an 85 vw gti with 470whp from a turbocharged vr6 engine, it’s devastating when I get traction, can spin tires at 70mph just mashing the “fun pedal” lol
    Also have two projects a 71 vw Baja bug, and a 66 chop top bug.
