    Ah, a topic that I love almost as much as my pets.

    My current daily driver is my '04 Nissan Titan. Although I drive a ton of miles and this thing gets horrible gas, I couldn't imagine a more comfotable ride, for me,to sit in traffic in.


    And the reason that I have truck as a daily driver is to keep me entertained on the weekends:

    I really wish this picture wasn't taken with a cell phone. So many times I wish I had a camera that I could take out to the desert and not destroy it.

    I've had a lot of cars/trucks in my 8 years of driving but my worst had to be my '86 Ford Escort. The car realy did try and it wasn't horrible, but it would always break if I tried to go more than 30 miles any direction out of town. Steering wheel came off on the freeway, frontend fell out twice, and at the end of its life it had no first or second gear and it was donated after the stick shift pulled off in my hand.

    I have to add my favorite too. My '68 Mercury Cougar that was my first car that I bought with my own money, well a loan from Grandma but I payed it back. It's what has been keeping me busy during the week because I pulled the engine out and am rebuilding most of the car. However, here she is in her prime before I pulled everything out again:

    I don't own a car at the moment but my dream car is a '69 Red or Black Mustang.



    Craig, that Cougar is HOT!!!

    Thanks Kay!

    I love that car, but we have a love/hate relationship. It always seems like there's something else to do to keey her running.

    I'll post a separate topic of the current build. The car looks so sad sitting on stands without an engine or transmission.

    I recently bought a cheap car to get me around town, it's a 1990 Toyota Corolla. Can't go wrong with a Toyota in my opinion, and plus the dogs love it.
    See how much he likes it??

    I can't say that I've hated any car I've ever owned....my first car was a Geo Metro, it took me everywhere, I loved it!!! I love small cars and someday I would like a Mini Cooper (with a sunroof of course).

    My son had a red '69 Mustang which he had restored almost 100%. Unfortunately one day an old man pulled out right in front of him (never even looked!) and the car was totaled as the insurance did not compensate him on its real value.

    I drive a 1999 Honda CRV and am in the early stages of thinking of trading it in. I love CRVs but am also very strongly attracted to Toyota's RAV4's. I have owned a couple of Toyotas in the past and they are a very good car.

    Troy and I use his 1991 Honda Accord. It's about to crap out on us so we're going to see about getting a new or used one. We're about to move into a new apt, though, so it might have to wait.

    My first and worst car is/was a 1972 Datsun pickup that my dad bought for 90 bucks! It runs fine minus a few minor details on the inside and the way it looks. So, maybe it's not the worst.

    I would love to have a 69 Chevelle.

    I drive a 93 Dodge Shadow (first car). I HATE it but it gets me from point a to point b (after replacing $2000 worth ) so I can't complain. It was free from a family friend too!

    I have to add my dream car too! My dream car is a Celica. It's a somewhat affordable car (compared to my other "dream cars" anyways) but the last model available is the 2005 model. Hopefully I'll find a used one when I'm ready to get one. If I ever get it, I want to modify it and add Lambourghini doors and add a body kit.

    I'm scared to ask how much that costs!

    I'm 13 so I don't drive, but since my parents do I can still tell you the worst car we have had.

    A Pontiac. I don't really remember what kind of car it was but it was always breaking down on the highway and it the engine started smoking once. We gave it to my brother, who hated it and traded it in for some other car.

    The best car is the we have now which is a 2004 or 2005 Navigator with all the works. The truck opens by itself, the runners come out when the door opens, and a dvd player . We also have a Lincoln LS, which my dad drives to work.

    I'm in a Ford Taurus which I love and never have any problems with.
    All my cars have been good, but due to a period of unemployment once, I was unable to maintain my Nissan for awhile. There was a hole in the radiator and the hood would fly up, on the freeway. (Lot's of breaking down on the way to work. Lots of stalling in the pkg garage at work.) Ugh yeah. Memories.
    I guess my favorite was a 450 SL mercedes convertible I drove for about a year.
    A friend drove it without my permission and totalled it. He wasn't hurt, but had no insurance. I later found out my insurance co. had been in bankruptsy while still taking my premiums every month.
    So I sold it for scrap. And lost my a$$.

    Haha, they're not too expensive these days. (Newer) used ones are going for anywhere from $13,000 to $20,000. I've always dreamt of modifying my car though.. that'll really empty out the bank account.
