My 2009 Mustang GT, bought new. Built like a tank, solid as a rock. Only unscheduled maintenance has been replacing a side marker bulb.

A boring 2003 GMC Yukon XL family hauler. I miss my corvettes and cts-v but I love having kids more than having fun cars. Once they are out of car seats I will get something fun again.

2013 SXT, the day I brought her home (still has the markings on the windscreen, here, lol!). Hoping to upgrade to either the R/T Scat Pack or SRT 392 (or whichever will be the available trims) in a couple years.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
I love to drive in my Jaguar

Either the Camaro SS or the VRod.  Just depends on how much noise I want to make.   :D

It depends on the year - but its always either my Ford/Lincoln management lease vehicle (this year a Tuxedo black AWD MkT - looks like a hearse, last year's was an Explorer Sport) or my LPE-modified Corvette (a '96 LT4 C4 of a dyno'ed 420 hp). I'd have a Mustang instead but, at least 'til now, you couldn't get one with an independent rear and a roku-soku-mission, as my Japanese friends call the vette's six speed. I may bleed Ford blue but I've had three Mustangs in past and I do love the vette. I just need to convince my wife that adding a fourth car is a really good idea, because the new Mustang looks really tasty.

Anyway, I figured there'd be a lot of car guys here. Salutes to you all, even the bow-tie boys, the silly Mopar Fiat people (Jeeps are kewl), and the boring rice-burner jockeys (yawn, though that Nissan GT-R is some car).

I should note, on my recent trip to Australia, I was driving a Toyota C-Car. It was miles behind ours, in content terms - and comparing our content/attributes and design efficiency to theirs is actually my global role in company. My wife actually agrees. She used to drive a Toyota and I've currently got her in an Escape Titanium. She's NOT going back, preferring, instead, to GO FURTHER.

I encourage all my friends here to take a test drive...
