You are what you drive!

What are you driving now, and what would you be driving if you weren't restricted by money?

I drive a 2004 Pontiac Vibe, and I love it! I get great gas mileage and this thing is fun to drive. I used to drive a Jeep Cherokee, and it was hard to let go, but I love getting around 35 mpg!

Here's what I'd be driving if I could have anything I wanted a 2008 Jaguar XK...SWEET!

We recently unloaded our Jeep Cherokee because it had a gas guzzling 4.0 liter engine. The wife now drives a Kia Sephia which is WAY better on gas.

I drive a old Ford Ranger beater, 4 cylinder 5 speed manual and I get good gas mileage too. I haven't checked it but it's probably in the mid to high twenties.

Due to my ongoing disdain for insurance companies and lending institutions our criteria for auto ownership has changed. We now find it wiser to own a newer used car (paid for) with a lower insurance premium and monthly payment.

I still find it hard to believe that my biggest expense is for something I never or rarely use. Insurance! What a freakin' scam..!

I used to drive a Honda Pilot, but I have a 76 mile (one way) commute everyday to work, so I bought a hybrid - 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid. It saves me quite a bit on gas money.

When I win the lottery, I will be buying this:

It is only about $200,000, but with 612 horsepower it flys!

Right now I'm in a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire. Not the best looking or manliest, but it's cheap and gets me where I want to go.

I'm in an 8 year old Lexus SUV...........with only 60,000 miles on it. I'm told it'll be good for at least another 8 years! The dash info. says I'm getting 22 miles to the gallon, so I guess that's pretty good.

If I had my druthers.......a new Hummer in burnt metallic orange. I'm kinda' a showoff granny, too.

I drive a 99 f-150. Love the truck but hate the gas mileage.

If I could have the car I want it would be a Mazda Speed 6

Sweet car and fast too
