Title: Question of the Day -- Tell us about your car!
Posted: 2 yearss ago

While some people like to claim that "you are what you eat", I like to think that what you drive says more about you. Minivan, suburban, sports car -- a person's automobile can be a great statement as to who they are. Not always, but a good portion of the time.

So tell us about what you drive. Why do you drive it? What do you love about it? What do you hate about it? If you could upgrade, what would you like to have? Today's question is anything and everything related to your automobile. Lay it on us!

We use to have this huge lifted suburban that was so high (4 inch lift and big tires) I had to almost jump to get in it....I felt like Queen of the road....Because I am only 5 ft tall...having a truck that is higher then most trucks made me feel not so short......ha ha we use to take it into the Dunes in CA......it was an awesome beast......

Anyway so when we decided that the truck was too high and getting older we bought a new truck we went low......Yukon Xl Denali with 22's low profile.....Now I feel like its a great truck...roomy captain seats throughout.....tvs and stuff.....maybe a little too overboard....But dang it looks nice.......and we have to change out the tires when we want to go to the dunes......blah....

I haul the kids around in my Ford Expedition. It's red, pretty big. It's nice because it has so much room. My husband has a ford explorer. He used to have a really nice Dodge Ram, but we sold it and downgraded him, so that I could get a bigger car! HA HA HA

We have a doge grand caravan. Its nice and roomy, but it seems to have so many problems. We had it for a year and the transmission went out, then the air, then the air switch, we are constantly having to do the breaks. Its just one big pain. Our next car is going to be a honda. With our other honda's we seemed to have a lot of good luck, I'm not a big fan of their mini vans, but I guess its quality that counts!

Me and hubby share the VW van.  It has lots of seats, the backseat folds out as a bed and lots of room to carry all that equipment for hockey!!

We're a Honda family with an Accord Wagon, Coupe, and Civic.  We love the reliabilty and function.  We can fit almost anything in the wagon, including all of our tree trimmings.  It was a sight to see us unloading all of the branches out of the wagon next to these big trucks at the dump!

My car right now is a Ford Windstar. Looking to get new one soon - thinking of going back to SUV - when I had 3 in car seats, to hard to climb into back seat to buckle older 2 in and out.  Now all kids are olds enough can do that on their own - so here I come - although I want a Chrysler Pacifica - my husband wants the Expedition - I will let you know who wins.

I love my car - it's a toyota matrix.  It gets 34-35 mpg and has a lot of room inside.  It's great.
