What other type of car do you currently own?

jlowen · 12-27-2005, 05:47 PM

99' BMW 328 91,000miles
I chose my other car for speed, cornering and pure fun.

Based on who (me/wife) is working further from home, gets to drive the Prius.
It's interesting to see how much I love my Prius, but at the same time, love (and maybe "psychologically" need) my BMW. I guess sometimes my practial side is overshadowed by my adrenaline side.
And for those who know DC, everybody has a BMW. Apparently, I am a follower.

Gotta vote GM for my wife's Buick Regal. We drove it out to NE and back over the Christmas holiday. On the interstate, it really does drive well. I traded my Regal in for Priapus with almost 100k miles. Hopefully, in a couple years she will trade it in for a HyCam.

We have an '04 Camry and a '95 Corolla. The Prius will be physically replacing the Corolla, but is replacing the function of the Camry as a commuter vehicle and family car for a majority of the time.

my car: the prius
his car: camry

what can i say, he works for the company!

I voted Honda, as hubby's car is an '04 Honda Accord. He's been seriously debating how much he could get for the car if he were to trade it in for a Prius. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets to drive my Prius more than me. He's certainly 'into' all the technogeek stuff it has.

My current car is a '96 Saturn...awaiting delivery of my Prius in the next few weeks. So I won't have the Saturn for more than another month now, hopefully.

My wife has a Sienna to haul the Bouvs. And all the dog and cat food...

cap_ut · 12-27-2005, 07:01 PM

mine - soon to be gone '95 Saturn SL2
his - '94 Toyota truck (the little one)
ours - '92 Chevy Astrovan with ~200k miles on it used for road trips and big haul jobs. We lived in it for a while.

'97 Toyota Paseo red convertible. Only year they made the convertible. Echo chassis, 1.5 L engine, always 35 MPG and, for my money, the biggest convertible bang for the buck ever sold here. Found it online in Chehalis, up near Dave in WA.

We have:

'03 BMW Z4 - My wifes daily commuter... and our most fun car
'99 Jeep G Cherokee - Extra car for my wife when the Z4 is too small, or bad weather
'06 Prius- Daughter #1 (Christmas present

)
'05 Jeep Liberty - Daughter #2
'05 Jeep G Cherokee - My car... used for towing, and mountain pass driving
'06 Prius - Due mid January - My daily commuter to reduce milage with the SUV
