Drive the H-2 in winter and on trips. (Nothing like feeling like a semi going down the road)! Toyota Highlander for commuting, fiance drives the Chevy SUV. It is great for hauling the kids and labradors.

93 Saturn SC2, I bought it new. I'm pretty upset Saturn is going away from the plastic body panels, I think someone at GM realized how long these cars were lasting and decided to switch over to sheet metal.

The next car will be a PHEV, mostly because I am tired of my money going to OPEC.

Big Volvo sedan. Seats like La-Z-Boys, stunningly good audio system, and plenty of safety to protect AA from bad drivers and himself.

Shopping for new weekend toy.

Add AA to the list of former MBZ owners. Their glory days ended a while back.

I went from a brand new MGB (when I was 17) to a Saab, BMW, and finally, a Mercedes. I then moved into my first "mommymobile"--a Ford Aerostar with a TV in the back which we never even used (oh, yay). I then moved to a Ford Escort, another something American-made that I can't even remember, and now to a Chevy Tracker that's been nothing but trouble since I drove it off the lot(and an old Jeep Grand Cherokee for the kiddies). All the cars that were manuals (including the Escort) were amazing. The Tracker should never have gotten through QC...and reminds me, daily, why I should stick to buying cars based solely on what they look like v. who supposedly makes them (though I will admit that for an SUV-wannabe, the Tracker gets good gas mileage and being able to switch from two to four wheel drive in Illinois is a nice option).

2002 Pontiac Bonneville. Big, solid, union-built, American-made, and dead-on dependable.

I want to add...my dream is to be carless.

No car payment. No buying gas. No insurance. No maintenance. No parking. No traffic. No nothing. A bicycle and the CTA. Ahhh...one can dream. My job, unfortunately, requires a car to get out to suburbs that aren't friendly to public transit.

Reddbyrd, my demographics have little to do with the cars people drive. It's how they vote at the Statehouse. lol

Little Egypt--GO SUBARU! I am on my second Subie (drove the first one for twelve years) and am picking out my third. Safe, never go out of style (never in style to begin with), all-wheel-drive rocks--can't lose. I'd love to buy American, but they don't make anything I want. Plus, they have a "green" plant in Indiana now. Maybe my next one will be built there.

Initially I thought Capt Fax had slipped and cracked his noggin before picking this QOTD. Then I realized that this was just a clever way of getting marketing demographics to lure more advertisers...good job Capt. 71 answers and counting

'08 Cadillac CTS. All-wheel drive. Best car I've ever driven and won't roll over like my former Jeep did. I got a 3-year lease because I'm worried about my finances in the post-Blagojevich era. lol

Also, '97 Z3. Won't go in the snow or ice, not even great in the rain, but I love that little thing.

2004 MINI Cooper for me.
2004 Jaguar X-type for the wife.

British cars can be a PITA to maintain although the MINI shares a lot of BMW engineering. Reminds of a joke. Do you know the difference between heaven and hell?

In heaven you have British policemen, French chefs and German mechanics. In hell you have, German policemen, British chefs and French mechanics.

93 Camry. 135,000 and counting. Car payments are for suckers. It's about safe and reliable conveyance, not status, especially when you park on the street in Chicago.

I never understood the people with nice cars and no garage to keep them nice. What a waste.
