What kind of car do you have?

[flygirl813126]

I have a 2001 Honda Civic. DH has a '98(I think, it may be '97) Chevy Suburban. My parents gave us the suburban as a wedding present, it had been theirs. The gas mileage is killing him, but he hasn't decided to get anything new yet. He wants to get something with better mileage.

As if I have a options for transportation...

I (shock) drive a minivan... a Dodge Grand Caravan, with the all important drop down video screen. Beyond that, garden variety minivan. I teased my friend (dealer) that sold it to me that it needed to come standard with an AYSO sticker on the back.

I drive a nice reliable 2005 Honda Civic Special Edition (charcoal gray) and Nick has a 2000? (can't remember) Ford Explorer (a real nice dark blue gray metallic).
Pretty boring. We're both not into cars- we just want reliability.
Of course every time Nick sees Kristie and Doug's BMW he says how nice it looks!

DH and I both said that we would NEVER get a minivan. Then......3 kids later......I'm driving a Chrysler Town & Country. The twins were 2 weeks old and we went out to get that minivan. It was a tight squeeze in the back seat of a Subaru with 3 carseats! But now we like all the conveniences of a minivan. We've taken the back and middle seats out before and gotten a couch back there!

I drive a 2001 Monte Carlo. Did the minivan thing when the kids were younger, at the time I swore I'd never be without one. Now the ex husband drive it.

I have four kids, what would your guess be??- Yes I drive a mini-van. I own a 2005 Kia Sedona (silver) and aboslutey love it. In fact this is my second Kia Sedona, my first Sedona, a 2004 was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle. Amazingly my four kids and I walked away from the accident injury free. (What do you know... DH was on the start of a 4 day trip when this happened- another story.).
Head on collision and 5 of us injury free- of course we went out and bought another Kia Sedona.

I drive a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Car is great, except my battery terminals and wires are terribly corroded. <-- TaDa! The cause for the self-reliant thread.

yup, burbans don't have the best mileage but if you have kids in high school, they can fit ALL of their friends into it and if they can parallel park in it for their drivers test, you know they're safe drivers! haha

that's what i drove around for the last year of HS...it was ugly but dang if we didn't have a good time in it!!!

when it's CLEAN! hahaha

I wouldn't mind getting one of the new 2007 X5's because there's some really nice added features AND i would be able to get sirius in it (as long as we don't get anything with self-suspension yuck!)...but, i'm thinking i don't really need an SUV that much anymore, it might be cheaper just to get a standard sedan (Audi, Volvo, european made/put together) or something.
