I was when I was younger. I like any car that is reliable. I want to see electric cars though.

Cars cost too much money to own though. Insurance, gas, repairs... After 50 years it cost about $200,000 for each car you own, including the cost of buying new ones. Three cars in the family is over a half a million dollars in cost.

I am sure you are correct, Claire...which is why I didn't dare ask...

This, of course, leaves one of those images in my brain that requires a strong application of bleach...

Not a fan of cars, and I haven't needed one since I have been living in cities with quality public transport.

He means he 'loved' a car in a inappropriate manner.

If I showed you pictures of my car, it would definitely not fit the definition of being loved.

I drive a red pickup with dark tinted windows. I think its hilarious that most people think its a guy driving, and I love seeing the reaction when I get out with a skirt and heels.

Oh it was awful SV! When the firemen eventually peeled me free it resembled a badly barbecued sausage.
I had to have over 300 skin grafts. So many that my front bottom is now technically my back bottom.

I really love it. I bought it as a gift to myself after completing graduate school. I don't really use it all that much--I have had it for 6 years and it only has 15,000 miles on it!

Not me.

I used to live in Boston, which had a good public transport system. But not good enough to haul groceries home for a family of 4, or laundry to the laundromat...

I drive an SUV because of the cargo space. My last vehicle was a sport truck with a shell over the bed...it had terrific cargo space, but not so great for passengers. The SUV takes care of both needs and, when we go on holiday and end up on dodgy roads out in the bundu, the 4wd comes in quite handy.

I love my car, his name is Jack (as in the character in Will&Grace). It is a Nissan Sentra, 2003. It is my first car ever, it took me a long time to be able to buy any car, no family car either, so, yes, I loooove my car. Tucson's public transportation system sucks, waiting an hour for the bus when is 105 F out? not fun!

My dream car is a Jeep Grand Cherokee ;)

I never really cared about having one and never needed one in the UK. I had to learn when we moved to the usa. I still didn't care what sort of car really, as long as it got me from a to b.
For the first time in 30 years I decided I really want a particular type of car and got a pt cruiser and I LOVE it. Can't say it is my dream car because I never had a dream car, but I do love this car because it has great trunk space for transporting my art stuff, it zips around town and I enjoy the design features.
As a passenger I looooooooooove my husbands jag.

Still if I was living in a place with good public transport I would happily live without a car.

God no! I think cars are a horror. Since I retired I never use my car. I walk everywhere.

I love cars. My two favourites were my TR-6 and my 70 Dodge Charger.

My husband drives a Honda S2000 (his second one) and I presently drive an ML430.

I drive an Audi A4 diesel. It's a good car, but I'd rather that I didn't need it. My dream is not to have to own one in order to get around.

of course everyone wanted to own a car. but it's not that simple, you should not remove the funds to buy a little, especially with the latest design, I advice you better in the old car only modification to look like your dream car
