Hondas. CR-V (or is it C-RV?) and an Accord. My third Honda; my
husband's first one. OT? Hey, it's not political!! :-0)

Absolutely.

We're a Ford Family, from my 5.0lt Mustang and F-150, SWMBO Explorer, to
our current Taurus stationwagon. We'll be adding two more Fords in the
near-future with a F-350 crew cab and an Expedition.

Does it count if we happen to hate our current vehicle?? Ford Focus, and
sadly, my last Ford-I'm pretty well done with them. As soon as I can afford
it, I'm going for a Subaru Outback. Better suited to the driving issues
here, for certain.

Actually that's not a motorcycle, that's a motorcycle wannabe, that's a
rice burner. hehe

I drive:
1991 Landcruiser
2004 Kubota Grand L 4330
2004 Kubota BX1800

Sheldon

In the last three years I've driven a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2003 Ford
Expedition and now a sweet 2005 Ford Escape XLT (which I absolutely
adore)! What would that say Ranger in connection with food, how does
that defines us Ford people?

Sheldon,

You're outstanding in your field!

I do not drive anything. I do not even have a driver's license. (

When I go shopping, I take a small shopping cart with me. Since I go
shopping almost every day, my groceries fit nicely into the cart.

When I need paper goods, such as large packages of toilet tissues and
paper towels and they are on sale, I may have to make more than one
trip to the store.

I always dreamed of having a Jaguar, while my husband was still alive
and his dream was a Cord Duesenberg. Both were unrealistic dreams.

I may make some Blueberry soup tonight for dinner.

I drive a '97 Toyota Camry. Hubby drives a '04 Toyota Prius (and, yes,
it very much defines him and everything about him--even has a "Darwin
fish" on it .

Depends on what day you ask! lol
Currently we have:
1968 Dodge Charger 440
1968 Dodge Coronet 440 R/T
1969 Porsche 911
1995 BMW 325i Convertible
1969 Chevelle Malibu
2003 Honda VFR Interceptor
1998 Ford Expedition (Ex Park Ranger truck)
1999 Chevy Caprice (Ex Texas Ranger with police engine/tranny pkg)
And hopefully in about 15 hours, a 1953 Ford F100.

Mind you, this is the least amount of vehicles we've owned in about 10
years.

Addictions, gotta love 'em.

No, not even in southern california. But looking back at the array of
cars we've had over the years, they do seem to reflect how interests
and activities change. Tastes in food change over time, too, don't
they? Think about foods you used to hate, now find ordinary or better.
Think about how much spiciness you have liked at different
times....-aem

We've driven Japanese cars for more than 20 years and it was time for
a change.

Yeah, but... since you were present at it's maiden voyage christening
(you probably cried over all that spilled wine) I bet they'd let you
drive the IRT. hehe

Oddly enough, when I think about it, mine does. Broken
down and not running. Okay, I'm only half kidding, it's
going in this week for a new alternator, and I can get back
behind the wheel. Watch out, world.

91 Maxima, nice nice car, manual transmission and all.
Gonna miss it when it goes.
05 Acura TL, now that's a really nice car, too bad about
the automatic transmission.

Lincoln Mark VIII here, though I doubt it "defines" me at all. There
simply came a time of unexpected money for me that was of an amount I
could splurge with. At that time I gave my then perfect condition, low
milage car, an Oldsmobile Grand Marquee(sp?) to eldest son who'd loved
it, and bought youngest son a new T-bird. I was raised with a love for
Lincoln-Marks, and this is the second one for me...first was handed
down to me from my also Lincoln-Marks loving mother.

Ford crewcab truck when I'm working and a Ford SportTrak when I'm playing
