2. Ford Escape Hybrid, please.
I'd love to have a small SUV, but I want an efficient one.

Thanks, you're the best!

19. I learned to drive in my mom's 1972 Charger SE 440/4bbl...
that was a FAST car.
when you'd floor it, there'd be a soft thunk as the carb took a big gulp of air and washed it down with gasoline... and then-
Zoooooooooooommmmm...

16. No, no, no
What you REALLY want is the '68 hemi 'Cuda with the shaker hood and the REAL THING underneath.

The ground's gotta SHAKE when you fire that bad boy up - big 'ol high lobe camshaft goin' ka-flump, ka-flump, exhaust rumblin'....

Damn, I miss that.

22. My first car was a 72 Challenger.
My friend's dad dropped a Hemi in it for me. The floorboard on the driver's side was fashioned from a 35 MPH street sign that I stole, but boy did that thing ROAR.

Sadly, I'm no longer a motorhead.

*sigh*

5. Check out the Saturn Sky
I didn't get to see one at the SF Show in November, but I read the AutoWeek article a few weeks ago. It sounds snazzy...

11. I have my license!!
I rent a car a couple of times a year to go downstate to visit my family...I don't drive nearly as often when I moved up here. I'd start driving more...if someone gave me a new Mini-Cooper convertible. :-)
