i currently drive a '97 mercury mystique. i didn't pick it out and i don't like it. when i left NYC i needed a car and i handed cash to a friend and that's what they brough me. at least it's in good shape. there's a RedSoxNation sticker on the back and a New Yorkers for Kerry sticker on the front. my plate reads FMACFAN and my anti-FM roomie just laughs at me every time she sees it.

i was rear-ended a few weeks ago and was going to spend the insurance $$$ on a new car, but instead decided to blow it on new furniture, jewelry, and a trip back to NYC.

i am looking at a pontiac vibe, i know *hayley* doesn't like them, but i think they are so hot. a few weeks ago on CarTalk, one of the guys stated that 'a honda element would benefit greatly from a roll-over.' so true!

My dream car would be a 70s mustang, fuchsia colored, with black velvet interior. No. Seriously.

To me a car is a car and if it gets me from point A to point B it's good enough for me.

I think you may be right about the Chevy. I have a used car and got mine first, then my friend bought a Cavalier brand new some time after, her Cavalier has already croaked, and I'm still driving my Toyota . So I would advise against a Cavalier from her experience.

The used Miata got a great review recently somewhere... oh this old brain of mine.

If I could, I certainly would. I love the Spyder. You should get it! Cars are insanely expensive, aren't they? but that isn't that bad, really, relatively speaking. Sounds so cool, I love silver cars.

Edit: There are a bunch of Miatas on eBay http://search.ebay.com/miata_W0QQfso...R3QQsacatZ6001

hmm...my aunt has a little black Miata she always says she was going to leave to me when she dies....then she got diagnosed with breast cancer....but alas no car...she's in remission...

Before I sound tooooo horrible...she was the absolute WORST candidate for cancer - she milked it/is still milking it for all it's worth whilst using people and using people's sympathy to get things she wants...it's so evil.....

What kind of car/truck/ect. do you drive?

Currently I have a '01 black Corvette. I'm kinda sick of it though, and want to get something new.

What do you want to get for your next car?

Something way out of my budget I'm sure.

What car would you never, ever drive/buy?

A Hummer, Element, Grand Am, or a van. Boo!

What is your dream car?

A Ferrari, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Mercedes. The list goes on and on.............

What car would you never, ever buy/drive?
Any compact car.

What is your dream car?
69 Chevy Camero......

95 red Blazer. I was planning on getting a new one this year, but the vet bills are looking like I'll be driving it another year.(I don't NEED a new vehicle! ) I also have 2 U-hauls.

What do you want to get for your next car?
From above, I was PLANNING on a new Blazer, BUT, with the way gas is going, I'm thinking about keeping the one I have for bad weather, and buying a Civic or something.

What car would you never, ever buy/drive?
Ford.

What is your dream car?
Some antique car, like a Model A(yeah, I know, that's a Ford- before they sucked!)

I drive a 2003 Saturn Vue. DON'T get one... whoever said they were considering it. I've had nothing but trouble with this one. But it's paid for, so I won't be getting a new one anytime soon. I can say one thing, Saturn's are damn safe. My late hubby rolled my first one 4 times and he and my lil' one came out without a scratch on them.

Dunno about the next one. I'm enjoying having one paid for!

I would never drive a hummer, or a littlel bitty car. Or a Ford. Unless it's a Mustang... then I might consider it.

My dream car? A '69 Camero. I almost bought one last year, but he wouldn't come down on the price. He wanted over $17,000, and I refused to pay that much for a 35 year old car. Sure was pretty, though......

I have a maroon, 96 Toyota Camary. (with a Stevie Nicks Rocks sticker on the back ) It's nothing fancy, but it will last forever. Or, I should say, it HAS lasted forever! I also have an 83 Fiat Spider (little red 2 door convertable sports car kinda thing). I kind of inherited it from my loser ex boyfriend. I want to sell the damn thing..I don't even know how to drive a stick!
If I could get any kind of car, it would probably be a black Lexus sudan of some sort.
Cars I would never own....most american made cars I haven't had much luck with them. Especially my ford escort What a piece!

Yes it works. The body is in great condition, but the interior is tour up. If you can get to St. Louis...it's yours! I'm about ready to pay someone to take the damn thing and get it out of my sight!
