2009 Red 5 speed Mitsubishi Eclipse - and I love it. We also have a 2010 GMC Sierra.

2000 Dodge 1500 4x4, 4-door extended cab with 6' bed, 5.9L Magnum V8. Got it when we bought the farm (literally, not figuratively). At the time, I debated getting a 1/4 ton, thinking that would usually be enough. In retrospect, the 1/2 ton, especially with the 6' bed, is too small. I didn't want "a big truck" - since we can't afford a second vehicle and drive it all the time, I wanted to be as fuel efficient as possible. In retrospect, a 3/4 ton at least would have been better, and with an 8' bed. They get nearly as good fuel mileage, but I often have to take 2 trips due to weight or bed size limitations, and thus burn more gas, and waste more time.

I couldn't have a new truck, 'cause I'd beat the crap out of it in short notice. If I toss some firewood into the bed, but miss and smack the side of the truck, I don't want to feel bad because of the dent. this one has been mostly reliable, though none of the gauges work, except gas and oil pressure. I do miss having a functioning speedometer, which is much easier to read than the little numbers on the GPS...

In an ideal world, I'd lave a 3/4 or 1 ton 4x4 with a crew cab and an 8' bed (and they'd make the parking spots bigger at work...), probably the Dodge with the Cumins diesel, supplemented by something small and fuel efficient for tooling around town, maybe a Prius or a Nissan Leaf. Of course, we'd have to gravel the driveway for one of those to actually be able to make it down the drive, even in the summer. Most of the winter and muddy parts of spring require high ground clearance all the time, and 4wd 20% of the time at the moment. But a mile's worth of gravel isn't cheap...

Oh, and a 1966 Massey Ferguson 135, with the Perkins 3 cyl diesel. Now THAT'S a well functioning vehicle, though one has to question some of that British engineering logic at times during maintenance, and it's a butt to start in cold weather (no block heater (actually, I have one but haven't installed it yet) and no glow plugs makes it tough...).

A Toyota Yaris for the gas mileage, and Jeep Wrangler TJ for fun. Planning to trade in the Yaris toward a Porsche Cayman some day.

My hubs and I both have VW Rabbits. Mine is silver and his is grey. It is cute having 2 rabbits sitting next to eachother.

If you have 2 rabbits sitting next to each other, you better keep your eye on them! Next thing you know, you'll have 20 rabbits in the driveway!

That is our plan...never have to buy another car again!

I drive a 2010 Dodge Avenger,
No just bought it in June,
I hope to someday own a 1930 duesenberg model j cabriolet such a sweet looking car

Currently:
2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Hatchback
Why? It's truly a driver's car with excellent handling and driving dynamics in a practical package.

Goal:
Cadillac CTS-V Sedan
Why? Because 556 HP, 0-60 in 3.9 Seconds...

The CTS-Vs are pretty badass, but are they really 3.9, or is that what GM tells everyone? ^_^ I remember seeing a breakdown of stuff a few years back done by Consumer Reports showing that almost all of the 0-60 advertising were a bit...ehm...exaggerated. If I remember right, at that time, the Lotus Elise was by far and away the fastest real 0-60 in a production car, and it was something like 4.1 seconds.

Probably not 0-60 in 3.9 with me in it... lol... I bet it comes close if you have the right tires and know how to launch it properly.

I drive a Mercedes! Hubby drives a BMW! :drinker:

Audi!! Twin turbo power! Manual! 6 speed power!!
