My company has a relationship with a Peugot car leasing company, so I get a great deal on car rental. I hire whatever size model best suits my journey. It works out cheaper than owning a car and they deliver and collect from my office.

I don´t drive, don´t even have a driving licence. I´m one of the lucky guys who get along and around without it. If sometimes I need a car I have to ask a friend for help, giving them a chance to feel useful, adding to theire positive karma

I own a 98 Jeep TJ. It's a little bit changed from how I bought it, but it gets me 'round.

'96 Toyota Corolla. Unfortunately, it's NOT the 'upgrade package version' with the fold down seat. If I want to fit my bike into it, I gotta take off both wheels. 
What a pain. But, the car is paid off and I'm not selling it any time soon. Only 50,000 miles on it!

For the little woman (who isn't a cyclist yet) a '97 Chrysler Cirrus. Actually it's the family car.
For me, my mother-in-law's old piece of $H!t (did I say that?) '94 Oldsmobile. My wife wanted to buy it because of the low mileage and good care it had received. I hate it!!! The only things about it that I like are the bicycling bumper stickers (like "Share the Road") and the Yakima roof rack.

Increasingly lonely Chevy S-10. I am taking a long trip in it next week though so it shouldn't get too jealous of this new Bike commuting thing I've started.

1988 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, the boxy GM full-sized, rear-wheel-drive wagon. Tired and old, but it passes emissions fine and it's paid for.

I don't drive. I don't fit in most cars in the driver side and prefer walking or biking.

I just got rid of my Honda VFR 750 Ft (motorbike) as I didn't use it much last year (travelled less than half the distance I cycled)
But we have a Saab 9-5 Estate (Wagon) as we have 2 big dogs (well one big dog and a pup-soon to be big dog) It only gets used at weekends mostly to pick stuff up.
The bikes will fit in the back with the seat down and dog guard out, but my Rhode Gear Shuttle won't fit.
i think I may get a Smart (600cc microcar the most environmentally friendly internal combustion car -if there is such a thing) so we don't have to use the Saab except when we want to take the dogs a distance.

I haven't owned a car since 1997 and I to be honest I don't need one. I don't need a hot car to make up for any (ahem) shortcomings. heh!

I have a '85 AMC Eagle 4WD station wagon that sucks so much gas I keep waiting for it to sprout a hump to store the excess. It's one of the reasons I try to ride bike more...but, living 7 miles from the nearest small town and 20 miles from Green Bay, a car is a necessity. (Try to haul your laundry 40 miles on a bike, eh? Or the dog to the vet.)
On the good side, my bicycle and camping stuff fit nicely in the back for special trips.
