Well, if it has woodgrain, then it should get it's own category - - " woodgrain/big pimpin' "

Re: What do you drive? A car poll....
I'm a bit of a car nut. I own too many of them including:
2005 Mustang GT
20 year old small pickup
2 antique sports cars
1 antique convertable
The antique's ( as in 50's) get driven a lot in the summer.

Re: What do you drive? A car poll....
Although I still am the original owner of a 92 Camry (only 108k), my preference for local transport to get around and do basic shopping, is my Swift folder bicycle. It's also my small bit to cut down on gas consumption.

The 2004 Toyota Prius (medium sized Hatchback) that I drive doesn't seem to fit into any of the listed categories.

Re: What do you drive? A car poll....
'94 Ford Taurus wagon (102K miles)
'97 Nissan Altima (slightly crumpled left rear, 90K miles)
Our kid has proposed that we pool our family car funds to buy a used Prius, boost the battery pack, hack the software to keep the engine turned off below 60 MPH, and charge the batteries from our photovoltaic array. When she went to college we'd buy out her share of the deal and assume full ownership of the car.
At first I wanted to do a detailed financial analysis of the Prius vs a five-year-old beater. Then I realized that this would be a great way to get a cool new tech toy car and to add to our PV array. She's hitting all my happy geek buttons!

Re: What do you drive? A car poll....
2000 Ford Focus with 35k miles. I had considered keeping it for 10 years and then trading it in. Now, that I have had it for 6 I'll probably have it alot longer then 10 years. When people get inside they say it smells new. It has leather seats so that might have something to do with the new smell.

Re: What do you drive? A car poll....
2006 Pontiac Vibe - great on gas for commuting and love the small SUV style for fleamarketing and carting the dog around. Dh was amazed at how roomy it feels.
2004 - Avalanche - dh wanted it : 
1952 Ford Pickup - keeps dh busy.
2005 Harley RoadKing
1999 Harley Fatboy
We use the bikes for a lot of around town travel in the good weather, saves on gas and we have fun.

Re: What do you drive? A car poll....
2000 Ford F-150 4X4 (my truck for the ranch)
2002 Chevy Tahoe (the Princess'es kid taxi)
2000 Toyota Solara (general errand car and #1 son's school and event transportation)
I drive the truck when I have to, but it's usually it's just too big for suburban errand running.
