Daily driver-
2006 Lincoln Town Car (like driving your couch to work!)
Trailer-puller/"extra" car-
1999 Tahoe, ex-Michigan State Police. It was a beauty until someone from one of my neighbor's drunken parties hit-skipped it. I'm still debating getting the damage fixed, but it's now my 'second-string' vehicle. Fun to drive, and you can haul about anything in it or with it!

I drive the best MPG car around. 2005 VW Jetta,TDI. Gets 38/39 combined city/highway and around 45mpg on longer trips. It even beats the Prius in MPG. My hauler is a 2004 Trailblazer with 8000 miles on the odometer. Only used to haul something that want fit in the Jetta. Neither has required any repairs.

I really don't mind, folks, just thought you might want to think about such things.

Lee, there are so many Mercury Sables in the world that you could never pick mine out of the crowd.  You can't throw a rock around here without hitting one. There are two more just like mine in my neighborhood alone. Same color and everything.  That's OK, though. At least I know where to get spare parts.

Pictures would be appreciated, sounds like a great car.
Our daily driver is a 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon. Good car for a retired couple during Wisconsin winters.

I totally agree, I didn't even realize that that my one picture had the plates showing. I actually found both pictures from google images.
I guess this actually goes to show you, that you really shouldn't post those kind of things on the net. You never know what kind of crazy wacko would use it in an internet thread. Or worse case scenerio do something mischievous with it.

I drive the Batmobile, of course. You've never seen me and Bruce Wayne together at a party, right? Here she is in the batcave.
And during a nice drive downtown past Gotham's (well, okay, San Miguel's) main square...
...and parked beside another one painted in a more "Rat Patrol" type paint-job...(which is NOT mine! Mine's BLUE!!!)
I've been driving this VW Safari (Thing) since 1991 when I first came down here. It's one of the last one's made (January, 1980) in the Puebla plant. It is an absolute SCREAM to drive, and I can't think of a better ride for Bananaland.

This is not a picture of my actual car, but it is identical in color and trim details, other than my Echo's lack of wheel covers (took them all off, after finding out how heavy they were when I changed a flat)...

My daily depends if the dog is riding with me or not. She rides in the 2003 Ford F250 4x4 four door. My car is a 2004 Pontiac Montana. The dog refuses to ride in the van for some reason, so regardless of the mpg, I use the truck.

2003 Silverado for me.
Mine was paid off the day I bought it in 2003. It has almost 45,000 miles on it now and at my age, this may be the last vehicle I ever have to buy.
