And my wife drives a 97 Saturn, which I'm gonna replace when I get home, although she doesn't know it yet. I'm thinking about getting her a Mazda 6.
Also I'm working on restoring an old WW2 Willys Jeep.

Oh yeah, I paid off all my vehicles :) Almost have enough saved to pay cash for the Mazda 6 as well. Hopefully, I can get that around the middle of July while my wife is on a trip for two weeks :)

My first car was a '57 Buick Special. Best car was the '87 Mercury Sable, which had over 350,000 miles when I traded her in '97 for a Ranger pickup. I now drive a 2002 Ranger 4x4 and acts as my practice room during lunch breaks.

Hey Lara, it's something to look forward to, just be careful about what kinda car you get. When I was 18 I was quoted 3000 dollars a year for insurance on my Mustang GT :) Not even full coverage either.

First car -- 1975 AMC Hornet - no power steering, no FM radio or cassette, no AC, and the good ol' fashioned brights switch on the floor. I drove that in 1988-1989.

Currently -- 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. But it's looking like we'll be in a minivan soon....

So sorry to hear that, on both counts!

First bike: some red thing on training wheels that eventually came off. I think that bike still exists somewhere.

Current bike: Mongoose D61R that's going to receive a complete overhaul in an attempt to create a downhill / freeride bike. That's once I have about $1,000 in spare cash though.

My first car was a Subaru Legacy that I drove while I was stationed in Okinawa Japan. My first car in the states is a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4x4 which I own today. It has the original everything. Great car.
