What kind of car do you have? - Page 5

laralen02 · 03-25-2007, 09:54 PM

I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. Oddly enough, the color is cobalt (just didn't seem right otherwise). It's not my FIRST choice of cars, but for the first car I've ever bought, I'm excited about it! I bought it used, it was a rental, so it was a good price.

Dave had a 4-runner, but he left it with his dad. He then bought a really old Toyota Corolla from a friend (to help the friend with a money problem), but I have a feeling he's going to sell it pretty quickly. He says it's not worth driving a car across the country to wherever he needs to be.

We don't drive anything even remotely exciting! I have a 2000 honda passport and DH drives my old highschool car, a 97 mustang! Poor guy...it even has my name on the window still (hey...it was cool in high school! LOL) he did have an 89 rx-7 so wasn't much better but it got totalled last year when I was driving it! ouch...

we are in desperate need of a new car because my honda is having major transmission problems. but we are trying to wait it out until zac switches jobs and after the first year pay is over.

Well, we are an impractical family. We have too many cars, but Every car has a purpose, according to my dh. He LOVES cars. Right now we are in the process of selling his little Nissan 350z. We have a Land cruiser, I drive most of the time with the kids and dogs, makes things very easy when shopping, lots of room, lol. But we also have a PT cruiser for commuting and 2 porsches. One is an '81 911 sc and the other is an 87 930 turbo. I love them, unfortunately not enough room under the hood to put bags of stuff.

I've got a 2006 Mazda RX-8... I love her

She's perfect for my work commute because the handling on turns is amazing - and that's all my drive is

bf has a Ford Ranger out here.

you have your name on your car where everyone can see it? i'd be WAY to afraid to do that in today's day/age of road rage and all that...

I even see those people who have their family emblem (you know, the two parents, # kids stick figure thing) on the back window and figure they must be crazy with putting that type of information on their car! who knows what kinda weirdos are out there driving behind you....i thought about having a license plate with my name on it or like JC's name or something like that and decided not too cuz if anyone that didn't like me, my husband or the website was driving behind us.. figured out the info and wanted to hurt us, they could find us just seeing that information.

yea.. i guess you could say i'm paranoid about that stuff!

yea...I got it on my car when I was living in a town of 500 people! LOL So zero worries there. I never even took my keys out of my car anytime I went places until I went to college. And even then the first few weeks I didn't until my friends noticed me just getting out and shutting the door without locking it and freaked out! LOL I was a bit naive! I figure noone is going to be able to do anything because they know my name.

Legally...its not really even my name.
