I had for over 300,000 a 1990 Mercedes 300E. Best car I ever owned. One of my closest friends still has it. His wife drives it daily, over 400K on it.... Still running strong.
Should have never sold that car... Miss it all the time.
I have a 2000 Durango... over 140,000 miles and runs like new! looks like new! MPG about 18 on a good day!So how's the gas mileage on the Durango when your pulling the house?
When is someone going to mention a car worth stealing? :P
Just bought a Chrysler Sebring for my wife, and it is NICE!
Car worth stealing... 1966 Mustang GT, Candy Apple Red, Black vinyl roof.. 289 4bbl 4 Speed! Screw all those foreign cars, nothing like good ol' American Muscle! (Had a 69 Chevelle SS, 68 Camaro SS convertible).
Goal of my life is a Shelby Cobra Mustang!
My Two favorite teams are the Packers, and whoever plays the Vikings!
Rare? I didn't think so, see them all the time. Definitely fun to drive..got both the auto and tiptronic..wish I had the paddles, but still fun. Got the sunroof as well.That's a really cool car, and kinda rare... Is it fun to drive? I considered buying one once. Think it was a 2003...
Definitely moves, but honestly, it isn't a bmw. But, alot less problems then a bmw. It is just a souped up camry built in japan.
When I bought it, i was coming out of a very abusive saab and german relationship. I wanted a no drama relationship, and the IS has provided just that. Haven't had one problem.
That's what I'm talking bout!!
I love the old skool rides. I learned to drive with a 1970 Chevy Malibu. Considering how old it was the handling was great.

My first Jeep Wrangler. I bought it new, and I still beat it to hell. Tough SOB. I pussied the second one.
My first car was a '76 Red Volare Station Wagon. My second one was a '78 Pontiac Grand Lemans Station Wagon. The second one had wood paneling. Think Clark Griswold. It was sweet growing up poor. Hell, I was excited just to have a car. I didn't have one in high school. I was excited until I found out that half my paycheck would go to liability insurance on the focker.
I bought a Buick station wagon once, old fleet car for some local drilling company. Sucker was a war-wagon...had a 350 in it with a posi rear end. Just beat it to hell. Went like mad in the snow.My first Jeep Wrangler. I bought it new, and I still beat it to hell. Tough SOB. I pussied the second one.

I learned to drive in a '73 Olds Cutlass Supreme:
I had an '84 Pontiac Fiero when I got home from the Army, though.
That thing ran GREAT in the snow. [/sarcasm]
I'm still riding in my 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V.

I really want to get the Prius though. Figured out that I would have to fill up 3x/yr with that car.

My ex in college ha done of those. Just terrible in the ice and snow. I did an inadvertent 360 while making a left turn..right around Camp Randall. People were crossing the street. I was FREAKED OUT.I had an '84 Pontiac Fiero when I got home from the Army, though.

People say that your life flashes before them...well, all I could see was the headlines about fiero taking out like 10 college students.
Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, alright. We got 411 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper Edelbrock intakes, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fuckin' muscle.
Yep.....once that vehicle started sliding in the snow, about all you could hope for was to hit some pavement, or you just waited 'til the car hit the curb or a snowbank to slow down the momentum. Of course, that car was so low-slung that in the winter it was often below the level of the snow, so sometimes at intersections, I just gave her hell and hoped I made it.My ex in college ha done of those.

Go to your local library and check out Ralph Nader's Unsafe At Any Speed.
It is an excellent book about the many defects in GM's Corvair.
I had the opportunity to drive a Corvair in '72 when a roommate loaded me his car. I could not believe how poorly it handled driving 55-60 mph on the freeway! I literally had to clutch the steering wheel with both hands to keep in in the lane.
At the time, the car was only 2-3 years old.

My mom had one. Somehow my brother put it in a ditch...
