What vehicles have you owned?

What else did you have?

Something here is not quite right.

No pix just a red "x".

That is odd, I have tried it on IE, Firefox and Chrome and it shows up in all three for me.

89' Pontiac Sunbird (first car in HS - crashed it)
89' Berretta GT (lasted me all the way through college and Law School- with paint peeling off it most of the way)
2000 GMC Jimmy
2007 Mercedes E350
2008 Mercedes E350
2008 Corvette (best of the lot- still driving it!)
2010 Lexus RX 350 (my wife's mom-mobile)

After nearly 100,000 miles, my 2002 Saturn starting having strange electrical problems. Reverse lights not working (checked bulbs and fuse), then A/C not always running, followed by door locks not working, and finally power window issues. Looked at several cars, and finally found ourselves at a Honda dealer. They had one 2012 Civic Hybrid left, gave us $2K for the Saturn (guess she behaved) and a good deal. We've had the Hybrid for a few weeks now and easily go 500 miles a tank at around 48 mpg.

Still will take a long time to make up the cost difference between comprable regular Civic and the Hybrid, but we tend to keep our cars for at least a decade. Besides, my work takes me to California regularly, where gas is close to $4.50/gallon these days.

With those gas prices, I might even consider a hybrid. The biggest suprise re my Vette is that I get close to 30 mpg on the highway (where I do most of my driving) and average between 24-25 per tank. Not hybrid material but incredible for a car putting out 436 HP.

My 2011 V-6 Camaro gets 30 on the highway when driven gingerly so your vette is getting great mileage I'd say.

1995 Chevrolet Camaro
1995 Mazda 626
1995 Acura Integra
1996 Acura Vigor
1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible

1999 Ford F-150
2001 Chevrolet Impala
2001 Ford Explorer Limited
2004 Subaru Impreza WRX
2007 Chrysler 300C SRT8

I just like buying cheap cars and driving them for awhile. Some I've fixed up for profit, some I've driven until they died, and some I've traded. Only a few were actually financed, but all were modified to my liking.

My most recent purchase, the 300C SRT8, is my overall favorite by far. The WRX is a close second (those mountains in UT were a blast). My third favorite would have to be the 1987 Regal with a swapped-in GMV8.

[GOG8TRS]

In addition, I've got a Corvette C4 purchase in the works ($2k) for my 14 year old. We plan on tinkering with it while he is in high school, and hopefully when he leaves for college he can take it with him.

I see it on my home PC so it must've been the firewall where I work .

Just made a couple new additions to the family.

2011 Buick Lacrosse- ruby red metallic (not so cheap)

2008 Chevy Tahoe (32K original miles) dirt cheap. new family ride

2002 S-10 ext cab, third time was not the charm, I drove this thing for about two weeks and the motor tell go, so it looks like it may just get a v8.

Note the fins, the chrome stars on the real quarter panel, and the little chrome

For some odd reason, that doesn't really look like the proper method to repaint your car.

Gives "white-out" a whole new meaning.
