Back in my college years, I owned a '91 Honda Accord as my commuter car. I put 40K miles on that thing in two years, beat the death out of it, and hardly spent any $$ on it. However, we've driven GMs and Jeeps mostly. My mom currently has a '99 Grand Cherokee, I have a '01 Cherokee Sport, and my wife has an '03 Liberty Limited. From the time I was born in '73, my parents have only had two imports - my mom drove a '72 Beetle until my dad bought a new Camaro in '85, and two years ago my dad bought an '05 Audi A4. The A4 has been good to him, and it's great in the crap weather.

94 Chevy Camaro V6

My current DD is a 2005 Toyota Camry. It's the first import that I've bought for myself, and it isn't a bad car. I would have preferred the Pontiac Grand Prix but the hood over the instrument panel made it impossible for my wife so see over. :P
The wife drives a Toyota Sienna.
My 1988 Trans Am is the fourth F-body I've owned.

hahahaa, classic! never heard that one before.
my gf just picked up a 2003 "mustbesushi" galant, but i myself have never been guilty of owning anything worse than a 1987 F**d F150. all jokes aside, the thing was absolutely bulletproof. I abused that thing in despictable ways, and it still ran to 265000, sold it running strong for a grand.

I learned of the term "mustbesushi" from Justin, your trusty Admin. I even have a homemade bumper sticker with the Mitsubishi font type and the logo transformed into a funny... well, I'll just have to take a picture of it and post it. You'll all roll over laughing when you see it.
