I drive a 2004 Toyota Corolla. It has a massively powerful 140 HP inline-4, haha. I really like the car, it gets great gas mileage and it came with an awesome system. It also set me up for a funny one-liner during a conversation about huge pickup trucks being compensation for something (not that it was completely a joke, mind you).

Jeep YJ.

Currently driving Jeep TJ. Have no plans to buy the JK. They are huge and ugly, and apparently they are now made by Fiat. FIAT!

In reverse chronological order, these are the vehicles I've driven:

'05 Nissan Sentra
'04 Nissan Frontier
'97 Saturn SC2
'90 Honda Civic
'87 Ford Station Wagon

The Sentra has been solid for me. Almost 5 years old and not one problem beyond routine maintenance.

edit: this thread inspired me to change my av ... still not sure if i like it though

the trouble with being an aspie and car guy (or person in my case) is rolling up to a stoplight side by side with somebody who wants to throw down. i dont want to look at other drivers, much less race them

i mean dont get me wrong, im not going to spend the money on that car to not drive it fast, but speeding is one thing, street racing is another entirely and i like to avoid the police when possible (especially with my tint being illegal where I live).

2005 Hyundai Accent

I love this car. I've gotten up to 36 miles per gallon with it, it turns on a dime, and it's small enough to squeeze into just about any parking space. I would like to get a Chevy Cobalt in a few years though.

Was driving: a blue 1995 Buick Regal sedan with 215k+ miles on it - that poor thing had been through hell and back; affectionately dubbed the "Blueberry Bomber." Kicked the bucket in August.

Now driving: a black 2002 Saab 9-3 turbo SE hatchback. Big improvement over the Buick! :lol:

A rusty, trusty, 1990 Chevy S-10 with a wooden flatbed.

But, my favorite is my old 1970 C-50 semi-converted school bus!

This cracked me up, because it's so true. :lol:

I'm currently driving a 2007 Volvo XC90

and a 2005 BMW 745Li. I don't have a pic of the beamer on this computer though.
