1986 Charcoal Gray Ford Taurus
1994 Emerald Green Ford Taurus
1996 Silver Ford Taurus
2003 Charcoal Gray Ford Escape 4x4
2005 Silver Ford Escape Limited 4x4
2009 Blue Sensation HONDA Fit Sport AT w/Nav

-13 inches shorter than an Escape = lots more garage space
-Only lost 7 or 8 cubic feet of cargo space
-Tripled my in-town mileage
-Doubled my highway mileage
-No more "Found On Road Dead" jokes.
-Least expensive vehicle I've owned, but.....
So far, after a week.....I am lovin' this car. I was looking for better mpg, lots of cargo space, reliability, and all the safety features I could find after meeting my 1st three criteria. The Fit fit.

My first car was a 1995 Honda Civic EX Coupe in Milano Red.

My second car was a 1998 Honda Civic EX Coupe in Vogue Silver Metallic.

My third (and current) car is a 2009 Honda Fit Sport in Tidewater Blue Metallic.

I guess I'm a Honda Girl!


I also drive my fiance's 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi in Flame Red with leather seats upgrade.

I bought it on the base at 126,000mi and drove it til about 142,000 and then it crapped out on me and I couldn't afford to fix it so I let impound have it. Wouldn't have gotten more than $500-1000 for it anyway. Paint was completely ****ed, everything was stock. This Fit is the first car I actually modified lol

My first car was bought used by my dad, then he gave it to me in 2005 when they got a minivan. It was a 1999 Mercury Tracer, teal (the picture is not my car, I believe it's a 1998, but it looked like it and it's the same ugly color, lol)



I traded it in in September when I got my 2009 Fit... my first new car, the first car that I purchased too.

Here is my baby before I got the Fit.

Loved the roominess and the seating position.
Only had the car for 3 months then it got written off.
