I drive a Diesel Ford Excursion. The biggest SUV ever made (it's not made anymore). And, YES, it is my every day car or my 'grocery getter'!!! We live out in the sticks and I have to haul 4 children + DH and I, all of their junk, strollers and a times pull two horses in a trailer. So my car can out pull most full size trucks and is really heavy duty- like a "Soccer Mom" on steriods!!!

I guess it says that "I am kind of busy with some VERY BIG things right now" not to mention that there are only a few really big trucks that are bigger than mine and I pretty much get to merge into any lane I want without someone trying to get in my way. I actually Love big cars and if it was possible to drive something bigger I probably would!!! LOL Most of my friends think that I am crazy and say I drive a bus!!!

What do you drive and what does it say about you????

I drive a Ford Focus, and it says I am humdrum and don't want to do anything exciting. Which isn't true, we just needed a car with good fuel economy. Our other car is a Kia Sportage, which I love and would rather drive, but it is so bashed up and doesn't run very well, so DH drives that. He works only about 10 blocks away.

a teeny tiny very cramped 2 door Hyaundai Tiberon. Have I mentioned its to small for me?

But, its a 2001, it PAID OFF (WHOOHOO) and very good on gas. So.............. I guess I'm stuck with it for a while

I bought it a year after Rylee was born and after i drove it home from the lot, Rylee's carseat would not fit inbetween the seat and the door. I HAD to go buy a new carseat! Now, I just laugh... to be young and just have to have that "cool looking car"

I drive the new Honda Pilot, it says I am practical, LOL

I love it though, it's a nice mid-sized SUV and all the features they put on the new 2009 models sold me, my favorite is the power-lift tailgate, meaning I can open and close the back with a remote, YAY!

If it ever breaks down Heather, I'll call you for a tow! LOl Of course it's a Honda so I would not plan on it breaking down.

So Heather, what will you do when it's time to replace your car? I don't think anyone makes an SUV that big anymore? I have known a few people that have them , they are HUGE, how do you park it?

Well, first off I can actually drive it and park it WAAAYYY better than DH- it drives surprisingly well and DH can't park it straight to save his life. He used to drive big trucks and still tries to drive it like a huge dump truck. I have always had SUV's so it wasn't a big leap for me, I had an Expedition before this one. As for having to replace it- that is why I wanted a diesel. A diesel engine can have 200K miles on it and still be in great condition with many years left (I don't even have 100K yet) where a gasoline engine may be chugging its last few breaths So hopefully I have many good years left on this one!!

I am a Quality Control Associate for a Honda parts manufacturer. This is all very good to hear! LOL

I drive a 2001 Alero. It has been very good to me, but it is getting a bit old. We will keep it till it dies. It says that I like practical and economical, but with a little bit of sport. I would love a Pilot, Durango or Pacifica next.

Am I seriously the only one driving a mini-van??? I drive a Chrysler Town and Country Limited. And, I will be buying a Honda minivan when this thing dies. What does it say about me??? MOM TAXI!!!

After putting in close to $4,000 over the last month, I will be driving this thing until it dies. And we wonder why Chrysler is having problems??? Their dealerships/customer service is horrible!

I love the look of the van, the seat heaters, the dvd player, the automatic doors (both sides and back can be opened with the remote), and the all wheel drive.

Mine's an Acura TL...which is actually a bigger car than I would normally drive (I used to be a Toyota Corolla kinda girl) which should say about me "I drive the car my DH LOVES" 'cause it was originally his car, and then when our commutes reversed I ended up with it because it was bigger/safer than our other car at the time...so warp ahead to now and we bought a new car last year - but DH took that one (he's now got the longer commute and wanted the more fuel efficient car) so here I am still driving the TL

I drive a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition. It's really nice and has all sorts of upgrades. But what it really says is I have too much money to waste on gas because it guzzles it!
