MY dad has a 1988? Samuri and he LOVES that thing. He also has a '51 Plymouth, '73 Porsche, '97 F-350 and they all just sit in the garage and driveway. All he drives is that Samuri that he paid $800 for.
I have been looking around for one (not very seriously though) and I cant find one anywere.

I like my '95 Ford Aerostar minivan alot, although I only drive it about twice a week for groceries and going to the home improvement store for supplies and light hauling. It's paid for (paid a grand for it) and looks nice but not in perfect condition. 131k miles and runs good but leaks oil. About 19mpg city driving. It came with a Pioneer Supertuner III stereo.
Unfortunately it's sitting in the garage with a flat tire (had a "bubble" in the sidewall). It also needs a front end alignment but I'm just going to have to deal with all this when I get around to it.
Thankfully I don't have to depend it for my transportation needs.

i like my car. I like the way VW's ride. always have. I like my bike better than my car tho. Car good for haulin stuff about. Getting my bikes greater distance from home than possible without a car. Even tho I never take a car; if my bike is capable of getting me where I want to go.

I love my car. It gets us to the mountains for snowboarding and biking and it's a joy to take exploring and/or to transport our bikes to someplace where we can go exploring

I like my car a lot, although I don't dream about taking it on drives. It's a 1999 Toyota Corolla, used to be my wife's car until we got a minivan. It has been extremely reliable and gets good gas mileage.
