So, I'm not sure if we have one of these, but I figure we need a car topic.
I'm in love with the Mazda Miata (and I'm actually looking to buy one, but with no luck. The only one I can afford is in SoCal. :( )
So, feel free to talk about your dream cars and cars you like and don't like and etc.
Right now, I'm stuck between driving my mum's '94 Pontiac Grand Prix and my sister's '98 Ford Windstar to school. They're old cars, they both have a lot of problems and I'd much rather be driving my dad's '07 Mercury Milan, buuut if I had things my way and I was super rich, I'd probably get Pontiac Vibe or something like it. Something smaller than the mini van and a stick shift so I don't have to pay so much for gas.

Our family had a pontiac vibe once. It was a really good car, it's engine gave out around 300k miles.
As for what I drive now, nothing. Occasionally the family van or the smartcar, but I want a miata really bad, I mean, I have three months and I get my license, and I wanna be able to cruise around in what I think is one of the sexiest cars ever. XD
I actually bought myself a new car yesterday :>

This beauty is a 1997 Oldsmobile LSS. Cost me a bit under $1100, paid with my own money after saving up. Just what I always wanted: a cushy, elderly people car with some decent power. It's got a 3.8 liter V6 that puts out 205 hp -- it's nice and easy to drive with a very comfortable ride, but give it some gas and it moves. Needs the AC recharged, but other than that everything works great. Killer sound system, too, which I'm very pleased with. And it has a remote to lock and unlock it! I love those things. c:
I'm a fan of the 98 Ford Taurus. I have no idea why. It's such a pretty car.
I drive a 2002 Kia Spectra that I bought from a used car dealership.
Come next March, the car will officially be mine.
So I bought myself a car today. Up front, in cash.
I drove up to Roanoke to get it with my family.
She's alllllll mine.

She's a 1990 Miata, she's got a rollbar, brand new tires, suspension, brakes... She's got an adjusted cam so she sounds FIERCE, she has fingernail-breaker doorhandles, she has pop up headlights, a radio/CD player/Audio Input and AC...
We're talking like, a really, really quality car.
Here are some more pictures.
