SO Cars... First, Current and DREAM CAR

I'm kind of a car/truck nut, so I love hearing people's opinions on vehicles.  


What was your first car, what do you currently drive, and what is your absolute dream drive?

    First 1985 Chevy Nova hatchback, manual. It was like $300.00 and leaked brake fluid. I also had to jump it every other drive. I bought a second for spare parts.

    Current 2002 Saturn Vue. It was my dream car when I got it a decade ago.

    My real dream car is Volvo SUV. Maybe a Lexus SUV. Basically a luxury SUV. DH is saving for his right now and he gets first dibs. His is a Subaru wrx.

    First: 1993 white Saturn

    Current: 2013 Toyota Highlander (or at time ever buying a new car, and I hope it lasts 10 years)

    Dream: I pretty much like my car now, but I might look into a higher-end SUV, and I would want a hybrid. We just didn't want to pay the extra $6K for hybrid.

  • 1st car was a Hyundai Excel with busted rack & pinion steering so that you had to use your whole body weight to turn the wheel.  #safe

    Current car is a 2010 Honda CRV

    Dream car is basically what a few others have said - an ultimate family car.  SUV with third row, fully loaded, etc.

    Dream: If I win a lot of money in a lottery, vintage Jag; If I make my millions (ha!) with hard work, Audi A8. I'm not sure why the difference; a Jag just seems like a "lottery" car.

    1st:  1986 Ford Thunderbird.  Battleship grey with a murder red interior.  That thing was a tank, I could have driven thru walls and not damaged it.

    Current:  2003 Ford Focus 5speed.  I love my car.  182k on it and still going strong.  I hope to get to at least 250k before it dies.

    I also love my current, but even though it's impractical for winter driving, I still want a Mustang...

    Oh, this makes me look like a Ford weirdo, so I have to say drove a VW Jetta VR6 for 8 years and love loved it.
  • First:  1979 Buick Regal.  Electric, glittery blue, baby:

    Current:  Subaru Outback

    Dream car:  ??? I'm not really a car girl.  Maybe a top of the line Audi, since I liked my VW when I had one.

    I love talking about vehicles!! I met DH in auto shop :)

    First car: early 1985 Porsche 944; bought it with a blown timing belt with 2 bent valves and fixed it with my dad!

    Current car: 2010 GMC Terrain. I really love this SUV (crossover?) for it's decent fuel mileage and size (not too big or small). I would gladly own another GMC again.

    Dream vehicle: being practical yet splurgy, a BMW X5 M package diesel. Dream vehicle that I could have without having to tote kids in; the BMW M3 with the V8 or a 911 twin turbo.
  • Well lucky for hubby I am a car enthusiast. We have six cars, as if right now. Lol my first big purchase car was my 1968 chevelle, then my Acura rdx, he has his two commuter cars, and two old cars, 1960 American rambler abd 1965 tbird. His dream car would be a 66 camaro. And I'm good with the rdx, seeing as how we just got it three weeks ago ;)
  • First:  Suzuki Sidekick, I think it was a 1992ish

    Current, 2010 Honda Civic 

    I don't really have a dream car, but I really want a Cherokee, or a Tahoe.
