    Dood. You gotta have a RED MUSTANG. No exceptions. :eek:

    How about you tell us what yours is?

    I am driving a 2003 Camry. I also own a 2003 Corolla. Reliability. No, they weren't recalled. :)

    08' Avalanche, limited edition.

    Great truck, I truly love it. Only downfall is that I average 15mpg.

    2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan

    Pros: sporty and fun to drive, nice gas mileage, Honda reliability and safety, convenience (4 doors), good looking interior, impressive stock sound system

    Cons: quite a bit of road noise, requires at least 91 octane gas, front wheel drive complicates potential HP upgrades, carries the stigma of being a "ricer" car


    1994 300ZX Twin Turbo

    Pros: twin turbo, fast, looks sweet, fast, rare, fast

    Cons: questionable reliability, rough ride quality, very expensive to maintain

    Nice looking car. I bet the twin turbo version is super rare.

    I've had it for a long, long time and hasn't given me one problem *knock on wood*. Someone stole my catalytic converter but I don't think that counts.

    2002 Subaru WRX.

    Cons:

    - Kinda noisy.
    - The engine/clutch annoys me. Sometimes it has good days when shifting is smooth as butter, sometimes it doesn't and it shudders even when I give it plenty of gas. I've heard it's just how boxer engines are.
    - Manual transmission. I liked it for a year or two, now it's just an annoyance.

    Pros:

    - Zippy.
    - It's a wagon, so it's got some size to it.
    - Good visibility while driving.
    - Totally reliable thus far, despite being treated rather poorly.

    Next car: going to evaluate a BMW 3-series, Audi A4 and Lexus IS to see which I like better... perhaps next year?

    Pros: Reliable, Durable, Maintenance is cheap

    Cons: Thieves love to steal the converter, mpg isn't very good
