I drive a 2001 Dodge manual trans. truck that now has only 39000 miles on it. Hubster drives a 2005 Dodge Neon automatic - now has 33000 miles on it. We bought them both on the same day early last year and paid cash! Ahhhh! That felt good not to be signing loan notes - hard to part w/the cash. We plan to drive these at least till hubster retires in six years if we can, and then possibly buying something to replace my truck and make it the family car and the Neon the one to run to grocery in or to trade off between us when one of us needs to go out of town to visit relatives. He currently drives his about 40 miles a day and mine sits in the drive most every day - as for now I time my errands & try to hitch a ride w/the kids when they are out and about when I can.
Dream car? Any one that's paid for!
I wouldn't mind an inexpensive hybrid for the gas costs, not the looks - eck!! For looks I'd take a 2007 BMW 335i coupe - there is one in town that I'm lusting after -- cherry/burgandy metallic w/gold trim package. OH B A B Y!! N.i.c.e.!! ...twas probably a custom order but it is sweet.
