    I drive a 1998 Ford Taurus. While I enjoy cars, it has never been a goal of mine to have a super nice car. I view them as a depreciating asset, and thus get by with a beater. The major reason I still drive the Taurus is that it does not require a monthly payment and I am able to put my money into savings and investments. Just a matter of personal preference I suppose.

    02 Acura Rsx I like it, it's fast and handles nice and it's half decent on gas with the price being so high in Canada right now.

    I drive a '92 New Yorker Fifth Avenue (green) has a few wiring problems, nothing I can't deal with, has around 83,000 miles on it.

    Looks basically like that.

    Nice car! I always loved the way those steered. Turns smooth and ride comfortably like a big boat..

    I had number of Spirits in my time, not dissimilar to the New Yorker and they were some of the best cars I ever owned. Great in the snow too! So reliable!!! Wonderful cars!

    I had goofy oddities like that with mine, but that's what made it unique. Mechanically it was a champ, and to me, that is what mattered.

    half with you, half without ;-)

    funny unrelated off topic story, a guy I used to work with discovered (through a co-worker I think) that the google street view team caught him leaving the parking lot of his company!!

    What are the odds of that! I mean it's a really remote place too, not near a 'city' by any stretch.

    here's the link. hit street view, rotate 180 degrees and his is the RED GTO :) first time I've seen his new rims....sweet!

    I should upload the pics I took of the car a long time ago.

    This is what I drive, the only difference is mine is a little darker.

    Yeah, they are pretty good at getting that street view thing working in the most remote places. Its insane... Saw the van for the first time a few weeks ago.
