My first car was PURE GERMAN 1991 Audi Quattro 200 (20V, 255HP, TURBO)
Only 70 cars in the United States - definitely rare car
2157654_6_full.jpg

I sold it last May due to expensive parts. (For example - the motor blower costs me $250, starter motor cost me $850, which the part is used) but it was all worth it, and definitely fun car to drive around.

I almost bought Audi 2.8T but too many friends and coworker warned me about parts is so expensive unlike BMW.

I am thinking to get Cherokee. It's better than Wrangler for size and mpg.
 
Still have the '98 Ford Festiva
 
not sure what i said the last time...but here goes...a 1996 olds cutlessuperme.
 
Own 2007 Honda CR-V. I love compact CR-V. Once in a blizzard, I went to bring back a huge package and the car handled the storm and the load perfectly. Another time, I veered off the road to make a U-turn and the wheels started spinning, but hitting the gas pedal fully activated the AWD and got me out of the ditch.
 
:( I sold my Jeep Cherokee 3 weeks ago. :( I bought me a 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. I couldn't really travel so far with the jeep. the jeep had 180 K and its been wrecked 2 times by me and my hubby. the first one, my hubby hit a deer and the 2nd one was a woman walked out in front of me and tore up the jeep. so we got the jeep fixed and sold it. the gas was killing me too. 13 mpg. I then bought me a Monte Carlo which is about 25 mpg (city) and 29 mpg (hwy). I love the way it drives and its a v6 with a good gas mileage. that's all that counts for me. :) I sure do miss my jeep though. I loved it!

MonteCarloGirl, from what I read, insurance tend to cost jeep more money than any other vehicles in its category (SUV), because of number of incidents (mostly on rollovers). Is that true?

believe it or not, the insurance on my monte carlo cost more than the jeep. Because the monte carlo is a 2 door sport. the jeep was cheaper. any SUV tend to roll over if you're not too careful turning into a sharp curve.

and yes.. I'm a MonteCarloGirl now :)

I re-read your post... I'm not sure if the jeep cost more than any other SUVs I would have thought Landrover, trooper, depending on the heights and width of the suv.. would flip quicker than others. but you could be right.
 
It is the gravity issues, JeepGirl
