Okay, I'm not a guy either, but I drive a 2001 Nissan Frontier 4x4 pick-up - bright yellow with 65,000 miles on it. Absolutely love it!

When I graduated from LVN school I drove a brand new Camero. Now I have come back to the real world and since my husband and I both are in college.
I drive a 1986 chevy caprice classic -162.000 miles my dad say's ahhh it's got a V8 its just broke in. How about broke down, I have it sitting at my dad's shop to get the radiator fixed right now.
My husband drives a 1995 F150 extrended cab. This truck has 225,000 miles on it.
Both are paid off and we are driving them into the ground. Did I forget to mention I am a RN student. When I graduate Ill probably drive the same pile because i need a big house for 5 kids and 2 sets of parents. We are looking into buying a small gas saver car but that all depends on the price ,we only pay cash.. no payments here.

LOL...OMG...*SIGH* I drive a 1989 Eight-Eight Oldsmobile Royale w/162,000+ miles on it, and I, too, will drive it until it dies. ROFLMAO! Sheesh! It's fairly reliable, but it's got some "issues", but I just plead with it, and God(and my Dad) to get me to and from. LOL, sounds a little crazy, I know(well, re: Dad). Anyway, I am an ADN student, got in last fall, audited due to financial/personal reasons, and got back in for this fall---YEESH! Even on top of having two brain surgeries and throw in a migrain dx with the second one the day before d/c! Hmmm...

1996 Chev Calviar station wageon currently has 236,000
Best car
1975 Grand Am, turn it in with just under 500,000 miles on it. Only reason, the body was shot. Best car I ever drove. And if I had been driving it, 1in 19996, I would still have it, instead of having it totalled after owning it for six weeks.

I notice this forum is a "Male Nursing Forum". I'm not a male, but I enjoy reading men's thoughts about nursing, life, cars, etc. :)
Ummmmm....Men...do I have your approval to post on occasion on this forum? :uhoh21:
Since I'm already here......for fifteen years now, I've only driven Mitsubishi Galants, and have NEVER had any service problems. :)
Okay....carry on men...:biere:

I have an old Chrysler LaBaron convertable. I never thought I wanted one until I bought it. Living in the NW a convertable seemed stupid, but that sun comes out, and the top goes down. A nice drive to the beach...I love it.
