this is a great place to tell looooong stories.

yeah, go for it, the gits. Want be to come over and call them bad names?

Hey Bruce, what's that thing down the bottom in the middle? That's hot

First car I drove, was really the 'rents (stolen pic approximates memory of how car looked) and favorite car, the one I drive now (stolen pic too, but almost exactly the same)

Current daily driver, Chevrolet SSR, convertible truck.

My sis-in-law made a funny comment the other day, that El Caminos are like the mullets of the car world (business in the front, party in the rear.) It fits on so many levels!

The SSR has the coolest convertible top EVAH!! I could watch it for hours.

ETA: I also love the Camino, but only the 78 & newer body styles.

So nobody in your town has a garage? Or just no big garages? Ya can't have a "work shop" w/a big honking sliding door?

Also, is that a shortened Caddy or just a funky angle?

First: 1980 Datsun 210 (not a B210, a 210. Sedan. Green. And to top it off, it was a pre-production car, found out because 1980 parts would not fit it, and I had a heck of a time buying fuel filters, since they insisted my engine family did not exist in the deal shop parts book. Had to drag the parts dude out to look at the sticker under the hood more than once.)

Favorite: 1994 Eagle Talon. Emerald Green Pearlcoat.

I loved that car, but it was too small for my needs. So now I'm just cramming junk in the Sable so I can only carry one passenger, for that sense of nostalgia. I make vroom vroom noises as I pretend to go fast now, too.

First car: '87 Ford Escort. White. Crappy. Hated it.

Favorite car: '90 Jetta Gli. 16v, recaro seats, bbs lace, low profiles... Fabulous car.

Favorite suv: '06 Jeep Commander. Limited, Hemi, loaded, lifted, awesomeness.

My first was a POS Pinto (yes the kind that exploded if you spoke harshly to it).

My favorite (so far) is the 2009 Accord I have now. It drives like a dream. Time will tell if it's as reliable as the old one was.

I've had remarkably few cars in my life.

Pinto (~1974)
Fiesta (~1978)
Accord(1987)
Civic(1993)
Venture(2002)
Accord(2009)

All of those after 1987 overlap as we've been a two-car family.

I've had two cars.

1982 Buick Century - got used from my Grandfather when he stopped driving
1996 Geo Prizm - ordered from the factory new. Love this car. It just works.

1964 Corvair 700, 4 door. 4 speed.
I LOVED that car... Nader was full of ****.

First - a who-knows-what-year used Fiat. That's for Fix It Again, Tony.

Best - Brand new 1985 Cougar

Favorite - 1967 Cougar, in the mid-eghties.

First car: 1990 Honda Accord LX, charcoal grey. A hand-me-down gift from my father with 114k miles on it. Drove it to 185K, sold it for $2k in 2001.
2nd / current car: 2000 Honda Accord EX (4-banger, not 6), dark green, leather interior. Currently with 140k miles. I'll probably drive it for another 5 years, or till it becomes obvious that big repair bills are coming.
