I'm Currently Feeling: | What kind of a car did you drive before you had your child? Had babies before I learned to drive.
What kind of car are you driving now? VW Caravelle & Ford Escort
What kind of car do you want to be driving but you can't due to safety issues with your little one? Mitsubishi Evo
My Escort is my little bit of madness LOL I don't often get to drive it because of the kiddos but anytime I get let out alone I take it for a spin 
The caravelle is my "mommy car" - driver+1 up front and 8 in the back - anyone see a problem with this in the near future when DF is home too  I suppose we could strap him in the luggage space | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hey this is my Car its a megane coupe 2.0 16v F7R... its my pride and joy but.... the boot is titch and its a coupe  im guna try and see if i can manage with it as i love it but if i cant ill have to sell...
1 reason id love to keep this car is when it was made it got 5 stars for its NCAP rating which is brilliant and there is no airbag in front passenger seat so little one could travel there in their seat but we shall see...  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I drive an 04 Subaru Impreza. My mom however has a nice BMW 3 series, and has been thinking about buying herself a new Lexus instead, and offered me the BMW, and she would just trade in my car. Which would be awesome, cause her car is much nicer, and more of a mom car than mine. (She has a sedan). I didn't want my car very much, but I sold my previous car before I had found a car to buy, so I had to go back to my car I got when I first got my license, (which was a pretty nice 98 Mustang Convertible), but I just hated feeling like I was driving my parents car, since they kept it after I got a new car.
Dh has a really really nice 2006 Pontiac GTO. (For you Australians, its the same as a Holden Monaro, but in the US). Its really fast, we used to go race it, and its fun to drive. It seats four, but is only a 2 door. We have been looking for a new car for him for quite a while, and hes so indecisive about what he wants. I think he just doesn't want to get rid of it, which I totally understand. But I think he is gonna get a new or newish Cadillac STS. They are big, and really nice. It has more luxury amenities than the BMW! Its hard changing cars to accomodate LO, especially if you really love the car you have huh? | |

BMW's are higher classed cars than Subaru's in my opinion. A lot of people around here in the states, "southern cali" are in love with Subaru's. I personally can't stand them cause I love American Muscle... anyway, BMW would be more of a mom car, more safe and it's more nice.
I've never had the chance to own a Mustang yet but they are nice. I am sure you loved yours... Mustangs are truly an american classic. The GTO would be a fun car to own ( as for I have a 86 Corvette, so I know what GM speed is all about ). GTO's are the same as Camaro's, just the pontiac version.
The Cadilliac STS would be a nice car too own. They're safe, somewhat reliable, comfortable and spacious... and not that great of a thing since you're going to have little ones in it, but they're beginning to pack all those cars with HORSE POWER... Some of those cadilliacs use the same motor as the corvette, they just drop them in there. They are power machines now. | | | | Status: Offline
