I went from Honda to Nissan and I am happier. The Maxima is much better driving machine than any Honda, though I am thinking a switch may be in order in the near future.

Honda: 8 (includes two Acuras)

Mazda: 1

I'm not sure how discussing what car you drive has anything to do with how 'successful' you are.

I know plenty of unsuccessful people who drive beautiful cars, and vice versa.

Dang it mu_hilltopper! jk. I was finna go with "RNGOUT" however... i had 2nd thoughts because of my affiliation with medicine (e.g., i did not want to become mistaken for a nurse specialized in inflammatory joint disease . . . ). However, some other fan took that and parks near JVT on Juneau Ave., which I totally respect.

Also, WEREMU, i have totally seen your plates or the WERMU plate somewhere. Also "AL2BUZ" which I definitely like, too. Love seeing everyone creative for MU!!!

too many to reply to on here; i think Henry Sugar has the '96 Corolla? PIMP!

I finally figured out that I really wanted a Hyundai Elantra when I was car-shopping, but ended up buying my coche from a 90yo lady off of Harlem ave in Chicago instead.... she had put 15k miles on it in FIVE YEARS. Sick, I know.

96 Camry with 205k...bought it with 170k and have never had any problems, just routine maintenance. Change the oil every 5k and have cheap tires.

I don't care about the recent recalls, 90s Toyotas are monsters. Can literally drive them until the engine falls out. My dad had a 93 Camry that he hung onto until 180k and then sold.

My last two cars were Camry's - I had a 1992 and 2003 Camry and loved them. I liked them so much I stuck with Toyota when I moved onto a minivan and have a 2010 Sienna I'm happy with. I miss the mileage my Camry got but I knew that the minivan would get much worse mileage before I purchased it.
