Default What Car do you Drive.

I drive a Truck, but my wife drives a 2003 Ford Taurus.

Me too Calvin. I have a 92 Ford 4x4 an if I am behaving, my wife will let me drive her Sebring convertible. She just loves it. It is a nice car and we took it on a trip last year. Good mileage and easy to drive.

I always drive my standerd shift 5 speed Silverado. Why a standerd transmission? When ever I need it, I know it will be in my driveway, no one will borrow it. There to lazy to use a third peddle. If I use the car my wife has an 08 Impala, she has to have On-Star. She gets lost in our own neighborhood.

Wife lets me drive hers when she's with me. Think she's afraid I'll hotrod it if I go by myself.

I gought a Dodge Caliber Friday. I pick it up from the dealer today. I didn't want a little car, & this one is agood size. It should get 30 mpg+. I needed something with good mileage, as my round trip to work is 120 miles. My hot rod Chevy4X4 truck comes in at 10mpg, & the Cadillac gets 24. I can save quite a bit on gas with this thing.

I've been driving Chevy Impalas for a long time. Gas prices finally got to me. I bought a new Toyota Corolla just before Christmas. It doesn't ride as nice as the Chevy and it is not as quiet, but it's sure easy to park and 34 - 36 mpg isn't too hard to get used too!

My daily driver a 1999 Ford Ranger 4x4 that I drive to work and use for carrying around all my scuba equipment. My 'fun car' is a 2007 Mustang GT, 5-speed, Red w/ black leather interior and just about every option Ford offers. Been a Mustang guy my whole life!

I also drive a Ford Ranger. I remember when the Mustangs first came out. It was a status symbol to have one. Out of all the cars that I have owned during my lifetime, I've never owned a Mustang. I always thought they were neat looking though.

I know what you mean. I can't do without the Ranger because of hauling my diving gear but my wife drives a Chevy Blazer 4x4 and that's going to be replaced by a Nissan Sentra, Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla in the next year. Our monthly gas bill to drive to work is running $700.00 and that's without any vacations or other long trips. Interestingly, my V-8 powered Mustang GT gets 27-28 mpg on the highway and 22-23 around town (unless I get frisky with it that is )
