  1. Do the vehicles we drive define us??? Like "you are what you eat." It
    might be fun and insightful (yeah, right!).

    Current Stable:
    1998 VW GTI/VR6 5-spd manual
    2002 Honda Nighthawk 750 (that's a motorcycle for you cagers😉

    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.

  6. 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?

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

    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 😉.

    🙂 Or if DH hates my current vehicle?
    I drive a Mazda Sting 1.3 liter 5-spd manual (made by Ford in this part
    of the world)
    and he drives an Audi A4 1.8 liter automatic

    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

    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.
