As the title states, what kind of car do you own? Also, what kinds of cars have you owned in the past? Currently I drive an '05 Honda Accord LX-SE coupe, 4 cylinder 5 speed. Went through three Nissan Sentras and an '88 Honda Accord LXI over the years (three of which died at the mercy of idiot/drunk drivers) and they've all been good low maintenance vehicles.

 
Current: '05 Nissan Altima 2.5S... I've put almost 80,000 miles on it so far

I also have my dad's '87 Ford Ranger that I assumed/inherited/etc when he passed away, it only has about 58,000 miles on it

Past vehicles:

'88 Tempo... good car, I was the 4th owner... It passed from an older guy at church to his brother... then my brother bought it... and was passed to me when he got married (and bought a new car).... I drove it from about 70,000 to about 145,000 miles.... way too many issues towards the end

'94 Tempo... another good one... 2nd owner... bought it with about 21,700 on the clock... drove it to about 88,000... traded it in on my current car...

 
currently own a 2006 Honda CRV, Hubby has 2003 toyota Camry and his company car is 2009 Toyota Sienna

I drove a 1998 chevy blazer prior to the CRV, and a dodge K-car prior to that (don't remember yr)

Hubby had a 2002 camry that was totaled when an old lady ran a very red light.

I love my CRV, I had to replace the tires this past fall, got 70K miles on original tires. Other than that just routine old changes and tire rotations. Did have to get the windshield replaced but that was from a debris jumped out of a truck and cracking the window.

It was a hand me down car from my parents when I was 16 and got my license. It was an epic piece of shit.

I can't imagine what they were thinking when they bought it.

 
Did the timing belt break and take out the Medallion?
