Default What kind of automobile do you drive?

I have a 2004 White Chevy Trailblazer. I love the SUV, but hate that it is a gas-eating hog.

I really want to trade it in for a new 2008 red chevy malibu, but am afraid to give up my 4 wheel drive living in the mountains.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I drive a 2007 Saturn Vue. Love my mini little SUV. Gas is ok on it but like Kenya says its up again here. WE are up to 3.35 a gallon. Ridiculous. Luckily I only drive about 10 minutes to work.

I cannot believe gas prices. My preacher told me to be thankful when I pumped gas that I have the money to pay for it, but it sure is hard being so thankful at 3.35 isn't it? Our gas prices are 2.97 right now. Unbelievable, but I am thankful I can pay for it. There I said it. LOL!

Gas prices? Here, it's over $5.00 a gallon now
I drive a silver blue 2003 Honda Inspire, this brand is sold as the high-end model for the Accord line in the US, I believe.

I drive a 2007 Ford Five hundred SEL. When it first come out 5 years ago it was my dream car. The hubby made it happen this past year getting a unbeliable deal on it considering they was making way for the new models. The new model to this is a Ford Taurus. The only difference is the grill. Belive it or not it gets 30 miles to the gallon. And it is not a small car and does have a V-6. Genmel you do have a debate for sure considering where you live. Our gas here yesterday was still 2.75 a gallon.

We used to drive a Dodge Neon. I loved the car but the insurance price on the thing was enourmous. I was told it was the second highest unsafe car on the road. Me and my hubby have clean records and insurance on that car full coverage was $167.00 per month! We got the 500 and now its $50.25 per month full coverage. Insane isnt it. We have another older car which is a 87 Mercury Marquise. It rides like a dream but sucks major gas. Its our back up car and rarely used.

I love the way the Malibu looks (I think I want something flashy because of my weight loss - LOL!), but I feel so safe in my SUV during the winter. I hate depending on anyone, my daddy made me fiercely independent by making me take care of my own car and such. I don't want my hubby to have the only 4 wheel drive. Insane huh?

No I understand that cause my daddy made me the same way. I have to share this story with you. One day last year it was really to bad to try to drive into work considering it was a hour away. The hubby knowed I was gonna try. He got up and took me. I was fussing the whole time about ......what about him getting home. He decided it was so bad he stayed at work with me all day long because he felt it unsafe to drive home! LOL. He tells me when we get home that if i ever decide to drive like that again.....he will go with me and sit all day. The boss after that day decided to tell me if it was doing anything in the winter weather related I could stay home. LOL !

I drive 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD. It might be a '99, but oh baby is it loaded,I love it.I also would not give up my SUV living in Buff. N.Y.(20 mins.outside of the city). It is the sweetest shade of marroon and it was a gift a few yrs. age from DH. The gas mileage is horrible but I guess we all have to drive so we r gonna drive what we like. Kathy
