I drive the Mom-mobile, paid cash for it and am delighted by the fact that mine is the same year as my sister's IDENTICAL van, and I paid one-fourth what she paid!! Love Fords, don't want to drive/own anything else, and love a van. It's extremely practical for a mother with two kids who used to use car seats and who now use booster seats--and who will use them until they're eight years old and/or 80 pounds. I can load up on groceries and still have room for all my purchases at the hardware store, the discount store or Wal-mart. Nothing beats a van for hauling stuff around!

I drive a 1982 olds delta 88. Bought it for 3,000 with 48,oo miles. (original miles) it now has 78,00 miles. I just love it. Dh has a 98 cavalier, manual. Icky pooh! My car is twice the size and very comfortable, it wasn't built for power, but for comfort.

I drive a 2002 Mazda Tribute that is a light bronze color and my DH drives a 1994 Toyota 4 Runner that is hunter green. (had the engine rebuilt last year) It has close to 200,000 miles on it. Mine has a whopping 20,000.
LOVE THEM BOTH!!!

wow, our sonoma has over 250,000 miles on it
the suburban has 106,000
each bug has about 55,000
the jetta, which we only got 7 months ago, already has 21,000 on it!
when you live in the middle of nowhere in california, you put on a lot of miles.
heck, going to wal-mart puts on 9 miles round trip.

i bought new an 81 toyota pickup. i even drove it to boston and back and after 6 years, it only had 34,000 miles on it. living where we do now and having to add up all those miles so quick is really sad.
i get to do the college round-trip tomorrow. son's last final ends at 4:00 and he won't wait even one more day to come home. then he will be taking the black bug back to school...maybe. depends on his grades and his attitude. :-)

Tigerfan - LOVE your 300M! I wanted silver, but DF wanted the slate...he won. About a week after bringing it home he wished he would've listened to me. That thing needs a good wash about twice a week it's so hard to keep clean!

Tasha - I seriously wanted the Sebring convertible when I was looking at cars. They had one at the dealership that was black w/ black top and nice chrome wheels. It looked sharp! But then I saw my car in the shark blue and fell in love! Plus I'm not as nutty as DF and wouldn't have had the time or patience to keep it looking so sharp...see paragraph above, lol.

my first car, which i got in 1996, was a 1990 Mitsubishi Mirage- and I put 28000 miles on it in the first 8 months - I already have over 60000 on the Rav4 which i got in May 2001 - trying to be better with mileage but still travel more than i should :-)

with my first car, there was this mysterious leak in it and water would fill up on the floor of the back seat - no one could find the leak and i didnt care when in NC where it didnt rain much but once i moved to syracuse it was torture- raining daily so i would have a foot of water sloshing in the backseat unless it had snowed and then i would have a foot of solid ice there- and to make it worse, the moisture would cause the inside of my windshield to ice up so i would have to scrape the inside off as well- with the ice falling on my lap- i have no idea how i endured that for 2 years :-)

The fun news around here is that Ms Sweetpea ordered her 2004 Mini Cooper 2 weeks ago! (After two years of wanting one) Yay!
Its production date is about three weeks from now, and it should arrive in early May. We are revved! They are soooo fun to drive!!!!

bluemini
Indigo blue, white roof, sunroof. Base model. I think she should get the bonnet stripes, she is undecided, but leaning towards no stripes. They can always be added later if she wants to.

Look for me driving:
wheeeeeeeeee!

She is finally putting her still-in-great-shape '93 white Civic hatchback out to pasture (driveway), to be used for the occasional hauling of furniture, building materials, other large objects.

I'm now driving the Civic 4 door, '03, silver, great for gently hauling my Mom, family, dog, and friends around. Had to replace my much loved sporty red 92 Civic coupe that some dopey college kid totalled last fall. <sigh>

Tigerfan - my parents have the indentical car to yours. They love it too! It is a great car - my Mom wanted to trade it in for a Jaguar but once she drove the Jag she decided she actually liked the Chrysler better.

I drive a 2002 VW Jetta - I got it in Oct. 2001. I love it, I got all the extras (leather, sunroof, etc.) I did the "Buyer's Option" when I bought this car, it's not a lease, I own it, but I can either turn it in at the end of the 39 months or I can buy it and finance what I owe. I have to decide what I want to do in October. I know I'll be getting something new but I'm not sure what it will be. Possibly either a BMW or another VW Jetta or Passat. I do love Audi's too.

lol Froggie - it seems like I'm forever waiting in line at the car wash or hounding my hubby to condition my top so it won't ever crack.

Everyday drivers:

ME - 1999 Silver Olds Alero
DH - 1994 Black Dodge 4 x 4

Special day drivers...meaning NEVER in the winter and practically never in the rain:

1979 - Maroon Chevy Malibu
1968 - Blue AMC AMX with white race stripe
1934 - Ford truck (this is still a work in progress but I think it may end up being red)
These three are all custom built by DH. Cars are his passion.

For fun drivers:
Dirt bike & quad

(Can you tell my DH is your typical "boys and their toys" kinda guy?)

We have two vehicles - both 2002:

Me: 2002 Silverblue Saturn SL (4 door)

Tim: 2002 Black Dodge Durango with 5.9L V8 engine (man that thing sucks the gas!)

Due to my old car ('91 Plymouth Sundance) that I paid $5,000 for at the dealer, only to pay an additional $10K for at the mechanic - three new engines, a head gasket replacement every year, new tires, brakes... yada yada yada... My 2002 Saturn costs me $25 more per month than the Durango!!! WHAAAAAAAA

1997 Audi A-4 2.8. Silver. It's my third Audi since 1981. I drive 'em until I just have to have a newer one. With this one, I had decided I had to have a new(ish) Audi TODAY (this was 3 years ago) and I had to buy it from one of the John Elway dealerships so I'd have that Elway license plate holder. I found one and by the end of the day it was at home in my garage, sitting next to the '86 with 200+K miles on it. If I drive it until it has 200K miles like I did the '86, I'll have it a while, as I've put only 16K on it in 3.5 years.

A 2001 light silver, sporty Saturn SC-2 (the three-door model, with the teensy door behind the driver). It's not a bad car, has only 12,000 miles on it, is auto everything but the tranny. BUT... it's freakin' light silver, and it's small. Do you know how many small light silver cars there are in San Diego? Do you know how often I *lose* my car in a large parking lot (such as at the airport or Horton Plaza)?
