I've had a couple of those kinds of cars.

I drive my parents' 1995 Volvo 850 turbo station wagon, when they let me.

I'll take a picture of the back of my Jeep tonight when I get home...I have a Buddha fish, a yin yang, the stick family/pet figures and an "I heart my German Shepherd" license plate frame.

nevermind the dirty Jeep, it needs a bath

I once saw a sticker on a bumper which read ,, i love cats me ,,,DEAD ONES

which got a honk of the horn from me .

I noticed many people here have 2 cars, sometimes 3 cars each. I feel left out.

I drive some nice vehicles, and have spent much time driving and racing many 200k + exotic's, but after many years, I really don't find the "nice" vehicles that rewarding anymore. If it were not for kids, wife, and harsh Canadian winters, I'd have KTM Adventure motorcycle and that is it.

I'm getting a Qashqai after Christmas, (when the arm should be better), I liked the Octavia (a good Skoda!

) but fate didn't like it and decided to make a idiot veer out in front of me a while back. I could get another one but I may as well have a change.

The wife has two Mini's, one of the old tiny ones and a new one.

Everyone has to start somewhere and you could have done a lot worse. The general plan is that if you do not do anything stupid early in your driving career, you will eventually get to drive the volvo more or get your own car if feasible. My first ride almost was a 1970 pontiac GTO convertible, but The parents sold it as I was getting my permit. Still pissed over that one. My first ride ended up being a 1972 mg midget. Not quite the muscle car, but much better on gas. My wife fared worse. Her first ride was a Ford pinto. The pinto had no heater and whomever rode shotgun had an ejection seat.

I actually really like the car, it has a very smooth ride and a nice amount of room. The acceleration is rather impressive for a station wagon (what with the turbo and whatnot). Hopefully my neighbors will finally sell their old crappy Ford Explorer to me soon.

I really can't complain, I don't have my license yet, I can't legally drive yet per se. I take my road test next month and get my license in January. I'm a bit nervous.

My first car was a 1984 Nissan Sentra wagon. It was the slowest car I have ever driven, bar none.

I got a 70 on my road test. Laugh if you must, but I still passed on the first try.

My first car was a 4dr Ford Falcon. Bought from the tow yard from a hippie, it was easy on gas, ugly as sin and easy to fix with cheap parts. I never forgot that lesson. I went through 3 Porsches, 2 Mercedes, 6 VWs, a Barracuda, 2 Fiats, an Alpha Romeo, MGB, Austin America, 2 Ramblers, 3 Toyotas, 2 Suzukis, a Nissan 210, a PU and a diesil Sentra, a Cadillac, Tempo, Escort, Bronco, Cavalier, 2 Mazdas, F100, 3 Dodges, 6 motorcycles plus a couple of cars I forgot about. All that time I usually had a Falcon (I've had four plus an Econoline van) as a back up car.
