I have a 2003 Dodge Caravan. Very basic, but with an upgraded stereo that rocks.
Eric has a 2000 Nissan Maxima.

Rob's piece of metal is a 97 Dodge Neon.............I hate the darn thing but he loves it!
I drive a beast of a hunk of metal - an 03 Ford Excursion. I do love it - in the fact that there is tonnes of room for the kids and future friends in addition to having the double stroller always accessible - and in the future space for at least 2-3 hockey bags inthe back......

ah, hockey bags LOL yeah...its the reason we didn't buy the Mazda 5 last year with the extra seats. I was like "hey, but where does the hockey bag go?!" and now we have two in hockey LOL

'99 Nissan Quest
It's the first car I've ever had that wasn't given to us (as in, this car is a piece of junk and we can't even sell it) or one that we paid for in cash. I love this car!!
We have a 1997 Honda Accord wagon that my parents gave us last year. We love it. It's nice and roomy, and even though it has 100,000+ miles now, it runs great.

2000 Toyota Camry. I really like it--it's completely paid off, runs great & gets excellent gas mileage. But it's just too small for 5 people and a dog. We'll probably get a van next year & then Matt will drive the Camry. Right now he's driving a 1993 Ford Crown Victoria with 150,000 miles on it. It works...somtimes :giggle. Luckily we live less than 1/2 a mile from his work, so he can walk.

We have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata and a 2001 Kia Rio. Obviously we dig Korean cars LOL.
5 sets of feet and one set tucked up snuggly warm in a baby sling or stroller :giggle - we don't have a car and we walk 90% of places, use public transport or rides from family for the rest of the time.
My dad drives a ford galaxy- a seven seater- purely because of the grandkids and his desire to be able to take them out places with my mother- all those grandkids are made by me!!!

We have a 2003 Nissan XTerra and a 2005 Nissan Sentra. Can you tell we are Nissan lovers in this family :dance
I love them both.... I adore the XTerra in the winter, I couldn't make it through all of this ice and snow crap without having a 4 wheel drive, as our city apparently doesn't know HOW to clear the roads adequately :rolleyes
And I love the Sentra for the warmer months, it gets SUCH great gas mileage and we use it to take the kids on trips and such :D

2007 Honda Accord, EX-L coupe ;)

I have a '95 Volvo wagon. It's very nice, and I love it, though, for whatever reason, the glue seems to have worn out. I need new doors, basically, and there's some body work it could stand, but it drives so smoothly.
My husband drives an '07 Toyota Yaris. It's adorable, and it's a good car at a good price, that gets great gas mileage. It's exactly what he needed for his commute, and as a bonus, we actually can fit all the kids and carseats inside, even though it's cramped.

if you can't treat yourself then who can you ;)
2003 Chevy trailblazer. I LOVE THIS CAR LOL It's soo cool. Very realiable unlike my last car.
Patrick drives a 1996 Dodge Ram 3/4 ton. It has a brand new engine as of 15000 miles ago and we replaced the entire brake system all the way up. So it's almost like a new truck.

LOL Jenny! Yep - likely one for sure in our family, and considering its a vehicle big enough for at least 7 large adults I'm sure I'll be nominated for driving to tournies..........................

We have a 2000 Toyota Corolla. We LOVE it. It could do with a bit of a tidy but it runs beautifully and should do for years to come.

We have a 2001 Kia rio and a 2000 Ford expedition. Sean hates the KiaLOL, but it does what we need it to and has never given us any trouble. The Expedition is wonderful except for the payments. :p I hate to have any paymetns. ;)

I drive the 2002 Saturn Vue. I like it but when we are ready we'll be trading to something bigger since there is no room for any friends or anything.
Dh drives 94 Ford Taurus. My ILs sold it to us. It gets dh from here to there.
Both cars have over $500 of repair that need to be done before the end of the year. That is going to hurt!
I drive an '02 Dodge Ram conversion van. Driving it is like trying to pilot the Titanic but I ADORE this vehicle. It's my dream vehicle. It's got the Regency conversion package -- leather, 13" television, VCR, shades on the windows, power seats and windows and locks. The third row folds down into a bed. Dh drove it to California last summer and just slept in it instead of getting a hotel room. :giggle I love this van. When we are done with it I plan to get another, newer conversion van.
Dh drives a crappy Oldsmobile Alero. I hate that car. It was in okay shape when he got it but he's totally trashed it, including getting hit by a deer which smashed in the entire side of the car! :rolleyes It's got a bazillion miles on it and the monthly payments are outrageous because he had credit problems and had to go through a "we finance everyone" dealership so he got a crap deal. I don't know that the stupid thing will last until it's paid off! I'm glad we have at least one nice vehicle.

We have a 2000 Toyota Camry and a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse which I :love We are going to be getting a 1997 Honda CRV from Rich's parents soon and I think we are going to trade in the Camry and Eclipse to get something a bit newer and with a manual transmission for Rich to drive :drive He misses having a stick shift to drive.

I have an '04 Honda CR-V. I absolutely love it, though I do like the new body style even better. The car was a second anniversary gift from my husband a couple of months after we found out I was pregnant with Sophie. I spent a lot of our time in the dealership running to the bathroom.

I drive a 2001 Chevy Malibu. At this point in time, anything that has 4 wheels and can get me where I need to be is fine with me.

We have a 2000 Toyota Sienna minivan and a 2000 Toyota Tacoma truck. We bought both of them used, with low mileage, and they are both paid off. and that is my most favorite kind of car. :D
The thing I like most about my van is that it has doors on both sides, so I can easily reach in and buckle both Sonia and Zoe.

we have a 99 volkswagon beetle...and i hate the thing.
it was my dream veichle, and i got it, but now with children...no room for the stroller but on the back seat, a new bigger car cant come soon enough.
We are looking at the hyundai santa fe, mitsibushi outlander or if finances are tight...than i really like the toyota yaris
I drive a 99 ford contour. It has been a great car, but we have by far outgrown it!
