I am up early again and decided to start a new thread, so out of boredom, here's a fun one to find out the diversity of this crowd. I am asking what car you CURRENTLY drive, not what you have had in the past or want in the future, but add that in the comments if you want.

This thread has 48 views and zero replies, so if the mod's want to take it down, that's fine. I tried.

I love my 1999 Subaru Forester. I'd go buy another Forester in a heartbeat, except this one isn't used up yet. Only have 71,000 miles on it. Barely broke in.

I may have misunderstood the purpose of the poll. I thought there'd be an option for those who don't have a car, and so I checked "None of the above," then noticed that that reply is meant for people who own a car but it's not one of the types listed.
Sorry if I messed up your poll! Seriously, though, there are people who don't have cars and have never had cars. PwMS have sometimes had to give up their cars too--so there must be quite a few people here without cars.

I used to have one. My oldest son had the opportunity to sell his car and get out of a ridiculously high car note. So......I sold my car to him (no $$ changed hands but he did inherit my car payment.....which was less than 1/2 of his old payment). My younger son still lives at home so when I need a car (which is not very often) I use his. It takes a bit of planning on my part but wow.....the amount of money I have saved not having the expense of a car is totally worth it. Plus, I feel like I'm making a positive difference in the environment. I have gotten my need for a car down to twice a month. Once for my "big" grocery shopping trip and once for my "fill in" grocery trip and drug store/misc. trip. Dr. appointments and other misc. things don't happen that often but they are doable. I've saved so much money by not having a car readily available to me for those spontaneous trips to the mall or Target. I no longer have a car payment, insurance payment, yearly car tag and inspection, gas and maintenance. I've checked out car rentals and even if I needed a car four consecutive days each month it would cost less than owning a car. Lots less! And they will even come pick me up and take me back home once I turn the car in! I would only use the rental car scenario as a last resort but it's good to know it's available if I need it. I think I'm becoming a minimalist!

I have a 1999 Toyota Rav4-L. Full time four wheel drive. Love my car. Had an 88 Toyota Camry All-Trac that is apparently the grandparent of my Rav4. My Rav drives just like that Camry did, which is probably why I love the Rav so much.
I'm planning on driving my Rav till it wont go any more or until I cant work the stick shift any more. (think that will happen before the Rav quits working) After the Rav is gone, I want a minivan.
