How old are you and how many cars have you previously chosen and owned?

Wow, I have had 15 cars, but then I realized I didn't actually pick the first two.

14. 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid, Taffeta White, 37 mpg
15. 2007 Toyota Prius package 5, Silver Pine Mica, 48 mpg

I guess Microsoft doesn’t know about Toyota Prius. Of the fourteen cars above, Prius is the only one the WORD spell checker doesn’t recognize as correct.

 

I was a horrible person.

Oh my, I guess the Toyota lover in me will come out now

2005 Toyota Matrix AWD (Same as 03 but AWD killed Mileage..did great in snow though)
2007 Toyota Prius (I doubt I'll by a non prius again...please make the hybrid X design as a plug in for 2009!)
2007 Toyota Corolla S (just replaced our Sienna, we would have done another Prius but the cost was too high, basically a Matrix without the hatch)

hmm...at 26 i've only owned two cars

#1: 81 Chevy LUV stock model
#2: 2007 Prius

I should add that during college i didn't own a vehcile because there was no need to have one..why add another expense. Then when we lived in IA my finace's company provided him with a work vehcile..so at that point together we only owned one car (which is in his name) a 2000 S10...had to get a second car when he changed jobs and we moved...so now i get the new prius and he's stuck with the S10..but we drive the prius everywhere we go together...
