What Kind Of Car Do You Drive?

dgridley · 05-26-2009, 07:41 AM

With all the talk of auto company bailouts lately, I thought a poll regarding what kind of car we drive would be interesting.

I'll start with options for the top selling car brands but if your car isn't on the list, feel free to add yours below.

Old car? New car? Leased? How long have you had your current car?

If cars could talk, what would yours say?

Seeing as some families have more than one car, you may select more than one option.

Mine is a Saturn(1999) that needs some maintenance but is limping by on with a hope and a prayer.

Don't currently have a car.. couldn't afford all my extra goodies if I did

Mine is a cherry red 2001 Ford Windstar van. It's the only brand new vehicle we've ever purchased.

I bought a new Chevy S-10 truck in 2003 and it has been an excellent vehicle for me. It was an impulse purchase since I was leaving the dealership having purchased a new car already, and on the way out saw the truck, sat in it and said "change my order, I want a truck instead".

One of my kids left the car door opened just a bit last night and I woke to a dead battery.

The thing is when AAA asked me what kind of car it was I realized I really didn't know the year, style, just the make (and color!) lol. Nor could I think of the year of any of our vehicles. Wow, what an eye opener that was. Well I found out the information and hope that I will now know the next time someone asks me. lol

Anyways, I guess this is a multi choice for me to answer. It kinda depends on my mood or my need as to what I drive. I either drive a .... 2003 Hyundai elantra, or the 2007 dodge caravan, both silver. We also have a Hyundai xg300 if I want to drive that but I haven't for quite a while. Since the gas is going back up again I mainly been driving the 2003 Hyundai. It is way more fitting for me since I love small cars not to mention it is cute with a sunroof, and a spoiler in the back

. The van on the other hand is great when I have all the kids or kids with friends, etc.

I have a red Grand Am that I bought new in 1999 (it's really a 2000). Only new car I ever bought and my next one won't be a new one either. I would like to get rid of this car since it's getting a lot of miles on it. Now if only I could afford a newer car that would be nice. It's been reliable so I can't complain too much, but I need a change. My Grand Am was also the only car I ever took a loan out on. I've always saved up for my other cars which were usually a year or two old by the time I got them. That won't happen for a while since all the crap that has happened with our financial situation and job lay offs.

Always wanted a grand am. Not sure why, since I can't remember ever being in one before, just like the looks of them.

I had a 1969 Grand Prix, does that count

I use to own a 67 Camero, and then a 69 Nova. Oh how I wish I was still driving those cars today.

Almost forgot, when I was first married we had a 1974 yellow with black racing stripes dodge challenger. Nice, fast car.

For a wedding present he gave me a 1974 Black Convertible Oldsmobile Delta Royal 88. Fancy car. I hated it. lol I wanted to get back to my cute little 1967 Camaro. No wonder later in years we got a divorce when he couldn't get the right car in the beginning. lol

LOL.

I knew people that had a Nova but I never did. I like the body style ( 2 door ). Maybe one day I'll get one. On the other hand if I were to get a cool vintage I'd go for a Corvette Stingray

Both my brothers owned several corvettes through the years. Great cars but not what I wanted.

I really liked my Nova (2 door) but it was really lightweight in the back and fish tailed all over the place in the snow and could get stuck on the thinnest of ice only. lol That's when I got the 67 camaro and fell in love with it.

Before my Nova I owned a 67? Ambassador Brougham with a re-verb radio. Cool. lol

My Mom and my sister both had little corvairs at one time. One red and one white. Fun cars! lol Later my mom bought a 69 Camaro, dark green with a racing stripe. lol She was a tiny little lady and I always got a kick out of her driving this souped up car. lol

Wow if only we still had those great cars.
