Poor taste? What do you mean? That's genuine bobcat fur interior in that car.

Anyway, sorry to derail. I came across that picture today and had to share.

Like Dion, we own a '05 Escape. Great vehicles. Zero problems. Just changed the tires for the first time after 77,000 + miles. Plenty of power too, in the V6 version that we have.

Love it

'98 Audi A4 and 2000 Audi A4 were the best vehicles I've owned. Fantastic to drive, great interior design. The all wheel drive was fantastic for Calgary winters (fun to see people spin their wheels for minutes while you just push the gas pedal and go) as was the heated seats. Love climate control that you can adjust to half degrees.

I'd definitely get something like that again in the future.

I love my 2007 Shelby GT500 convertible. Hard to keep the tires from smoking but I can deal with that.

I love my 09 Tacoma. Great for work and fun as hell to drive with the 6 speed manual and the 4.0 engine.

I test drove a few cars and ended up with a 328i and I really love it. Its little like me, and it drives great. It's probably my favorite car so far. Although I had a 65 Mustang in college that was a boy magnet, so that was fun. Too much upkeep though. I think Classic cars are for boys.

This isn't my actual car ... but it's pretty close. I sure miss it. Met my wife because of my '68 Cougar too.

I loved my 1973 Series 3 SWB Land Rover. The most fun I ever had driving.

I've only ever had three vehicles in my name, but we've had quite a few different farm trucks over the years. Best one was the ol' 1980ish Chevy shortbox. The rear diff was going/gone in it and oh man would it ever squeal when you got going haha. Now it's just sitting out behind rusting. Wish I had the time and money to get 'er back in shape, but I think it might be beyond repair now.

I've loved all of my vehicles, but I think more for the memories than for the actual ride itself. The little B4000 once had 5 guys plus a bunch of subs crammed in it during a five am trip to Camrose for Sev chicken haha. Then there was the Durango, which was nice because you could get loaded and sleep in the back of it.

Favorite vehicle though has to be my current one though. Mazda 3. 2.3L, 5 speed hatchback. Not the fanciest car, but it does a decent speed with good milage, and has enough room to haul stuff in it.

4x4 did you get a Access Cab or Double Cab. I wanted to get a 6 speed Access Cab but could only find a Auto Double Cab with the features I wanted in my area.

I love my 09 Acura TSX. Best car.

My very first car was an 86 Pontiac Acadian... thats how i learned how to drive standard. The best was when the muffler fell off....or no wait...the time the clutch died on deerfoot trail.
Ahhhhh the good ol days...

88 Chevy Corsica. 90hp. Column shift automatic. Reliable as hell though. I replaced EVERYTHING on that car. Very good for the drive from Vancouver.
88 Chevy Beretta...total piece, bought it for $900, a blast to thrash around in.

92 Nissan 240sx met a tree.
My second one's engine went

Currently driving an 07 Mazda 3. Fun little car. Hatchback's useful too.

I couldn't get the double cab because I wanted the long box. And now that I think about it, I recall that I considered the shorter box to get the long cab, but with the tow package and the TRD, it would have forced me to have an auto tranny. Screw that. So after consideration, I concluded that I really don't give a crap about whoever is squished in the back seat, so I went with the access cab and the 6 speed with the tow and the TRD. Pricey, but I love every minute of driving it.

Nice. Mine is black with chrome door handles and grill. I didn't want black, but, to me it looked the best with the chrome, so, i figured what the hell. And of course it had to be standard. Automatic is BOOOOOOOOOOORING...

I dont' have a picture of my 64 Austin Healey but this was my favourite car, bolted on plastic side windows, English electronics and all.


Another picture from the web much like my 67 Firebird. Mine didn't have the tach on the hood like this one though.



My present bike. I liked my 68 250 Ducati but this Honda VFR is a much better motorcycle.

2007 BMW X3. Powerful, comfortable, and very dependable so far. I have owned it for a year and a half, and have done service on it once.
