Most people know I dig my VW, and there are a few of us who own way more than one VW... There are also a few Jeep owners. I owned a Mazda RX-7, the rotary engine was something else, but now the VW engineering has snagged me...
i have an '87 chevy astro minivan - great for going camping, hauling big items, seeing over everybody else's puny little cars , going anywhere you are going to get dirty or wet. not good in high wind and rain storms which are pretty common here on the coast. with rear wheel drive it was also a bitch in the ice and snow in the midwest us where it started its life.
GF has a '99 subaru outback legacy with the standard awd. i love to drive this car. also good for camping. great in wind and rain and probably snow. only thing i would change is creating a little more leg space for the driver.
My car is a 1980 Toyota Celica which is in very good shape, has a turbo, and goes like a cut cat - when it wants to. Well, at least it goes.
I also half-own (with my dad) a 1969 Daimler V8 which is in need of restoration and has sat in the garage for five years now! A truly beautiful car, though; the body of a Jaguar Mark 2 with different bumpers, grille and a lighter, more powerful engine.
Its my parents. I can't help but love the positive way that I look at cars. I drive a nice one now, and when I set off into the world next year, its going to take me 8-20 years to get back to where I started.
We'll I'd trade the car for a BMW 3 series anyday. I voted for toyota, since thats who makes/owns them.
You forgot Saturn in your poll! They are just under Lexus and other luxury cars when it comes to service and quality I was told by someone who does surveys and such and boy do I agree with him!
We got our car and a free car wash whenever we want for life! We can even come in once every day! Every time we come into the store they treat us like family, it is really nice.
We share a common spirit testuser.
I do all my work to (when I'm not feeling lazy). One of the more involved jobs I've done was replacing head gaskets. Hours of fun breaking knuckles. I'll have to say my favorite tool is the sledge hammer. Cracking frozen bolts on a 25 year old car is cathartic.
All that stuff about saturn is really true? I had just assumed that GM was trying to grab some more market share with false claims of hospitality, under a different companies name.
