Default Cars

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

What do you want to get for your next car?

What car would you never, ever buy/drive?

What is your dream car?

I drive a bright red 97 Chevy Monte Carlo. It still runs great, body's good & the best part is that it's paid for.

I've never owned anything besides Montes (I had a 77 & 84 before this one. My dad had a kickin' 72 a few years back. Gorgeous. Some guy smashed into it. ) but I'm thinking of going for a small SUV within the next year or two, mainly cuz the 2 door thing is becoming more & more of a pain and I need more room (for dog, camping, shopping, whatev.) Jeep Liberty, Saturn VUE & Hyundai Tuscon are on the list of possibilities.

I would never get one of those Honda Element square cars. I think they're hideous

I don't really have one anymore. I used to love Corvettes, but now - eh. BMW/Mercedes/etc. do nothing for me.

Right now I'm drivng a 1999 Mazda Protege...that I bought all by myself - I was SO proud lol...it's almost paid for. It's dark green, 4 door...and on the back window I have: A Beatle logo sticker, an NPR logo sticker and a WXXI logo sticker for the station I work for...

For my next car I'm thinking about either a Volkwagon - like a Jetta, or a Subaru...or another Mazda.

I'd NEVER drive a Ford or a Dodge...or a Grand Am...I hate them....

I love VWs, wanted a Passat for a long time. And yes, Dodge sucks.

I drive a 2002 Hyundai Elantra. It's ocean blue. 4-door. It's a sweet ride.

I don't have any idea what my next car will be. I'd like to get this one paid for. And then I'd like no car. I hate cars. I hate driving. I hate car payments. I hate car insurance.

I hate Honda Elements, too. I also hate the Toyota Matrix, and the Pontiac Vibe and the Aztek. And PT Cruisers. And those new Scions. I hate a lot of things.

I don't really have a dream car. One that's paid for. Although I do think that new Ford Mustang is HOT. And I hate sports cars.

What kind of car/truck/etc. do you drive? A Mustang Convertible GT and I love it!

What do you want to get for your next car? Another Mustang GT Convertible

What car would you never, ever buy/drive? Any of the Japanese ones-Hondas, etc. No style=:-) Cars have to have style to please me.

What is your dream car?One of those rare Mustang Shelbys or a Mustang Saleen..also rare. I have seen one however. Coolness.

I drive a 2001, four door, dark green Mazda Protege.

I'm thinking my next car should be a hybrid. That came to mind yesterday when I paid $2.44/gallon for gas.

My dad tells me to never get a chevy. He's had back luck with them.

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.

2004 Nissan Maxima, 2005 Ford Explorer

Yeah, I drive two cars. I love the Maxima, but its 18" wheels are not the best in the winter. An amazing autombile for the money.

I would love to drive a woodsided 1988 Dodge Caravan.

Seriously a 1968 Vette with a 4 speed and a 428 under the hood.

Acutally I wouldn't mind getting a hybrid either...I hear they're hard to get nowadays though..

Not that it matters - I'm not in the market for a car - but a hybrid would be awesome...my ex bf's mom has one

Yeah, I won't be in the market for a car for a couple of years, but I just feel that a hybrid would be better all around.

My car now is a 2001 VW Beetle and I love it!

For my next car I would love a convertible Beetle! They look so cute!

There are a few cars I would never get... the Multipla is one... ugly!

And for a dream car it would probably be an Audi convertible

I don't have a car.
I want a convertible, a tiny one, red, black, or silver, my car has to be stick shift - like a miata, or a toyota spider, or one of those things. Of course, if I ever have the money, I have to get a hybrid. Luckily, by the time I do, they will probably make a tiny convertible one...
