    I drive an 03 Mazda Protege5, gets round 30-32 MPG steady, got it for 0% interest and like 2300 off sticker( dad works at dealership) and has lotsa room in it with seat down, plus was built entirely in Japan so its solid as a rock

    Had your timing belt changed lately? Certainly hope that doesnt go on you or you'll be car shoping soon. I know I've been there.

    I drive a Black 94 Ford Mustang GT with competition headers, cat back exhaust, and K&N air filter because it's fast, thrilling, and hard on gas mileage.

    My wife used to drive a gas guzzeling 95 GMC Jimmy SUV. That was before the twins came along. To accomidate our growing family we bought a 01 Chrysler Voyager. It's much better on gas than the Jimmy and has a lot more room for our three children.

    Anyone want to buy a Jimmy?

    Hahahaha that is too funny.

    I have an old diesel 76 Mercedes 240d with more miles on it than Madonna has had lovers. I have had it 20 years and it has never let me down other than I had to have the water pump replaced in 1986. Cost me $120 that did, dammit.

    I never lock it ... if you can start it you can have it ... I can barely start it and I have a key!
    Yep and its great when I go to register it in WA state. Registration is based as a percentage of the car's worth ... it cost some people $2,000 to register. Me? 68 bucks LOL!

    I have always kept it in a garage and I think that makes a big difference to a car's life and performance.
