Awww!  thanks, Frank. :)  I always wondered why there had never been a thread like this, considering how people WILL show off their cars.   but here is mine:




Mazda 6 i (Sport Value edition is what Mazda says it is.  I have no clue what it means   :rotf: ).

I drive a 2006 Kia Spectra.  It has a wimpy engine, inefficient drivetrain, horrible resale value, and uncomfortable seats.  I'm thinking of having a small turbo installed. 

Other than that, it is a relatively attractive car with a great warranty and low price, and it drives just like my 1992 Toyota Camry.


For people who care about such things, it is silver.

I drive a land rover..great mileage, european engineering, goes anywhere and has incredible OOMPH..however, it terrifies the local mechanics so I am becoming an expert on Land Rover repairs by myself.  I love the fact that I can easily manuver thru Vegas traffic, or hit the open range when told "take the short cut mommy"  :hyper:

A Kia with a turbo?  :confused: I think my Mazda would still be able to outrun it!

I'm sorry, Chris.  I just saw an opportunity to tease a little.  The car really is attractive, though.

The wife's car (and my toy):


Hers is the same color

Mine -- same color and all:



13,000 miles on it.  When I get it washed the red can actually hurt your eyes in the sun.

And we 100% own both.  Haven't had a car payment in 3 years.

My husband has an Infiniti G37.  


This isn't it but it looks pretty much exactly like it.

I have a friend that has one of those -- it has to be one of nicest rides of any kind of vehicle.

My mom has a 2003 Ford Thunderbird.  It has a small V8 and it's sky blue.

It has a great engine, but it sits too low for me.  I have to fold myself into it.

I love mine, it is still fun to drive.  We leased it and the lease is up in about a year.  I'm getting another one but this time a different color and it will have all the bells and whistles.   :-)

You'd LOVE my wife's MR-2.  You don't so much get into it as you put it on.

My wife's car.

What IS that?  It looks like a Buick version of a Corvette.

I wish I had never sold my 1989 MR-2 Supercharged. Bought a 300Z non turbo and then a 1994 MR-2 Turbo. I have spent piles of dough on new cars.
