'04 Honda CR-V

Once I pick up my '06 Prius after 12/31 (want that credit!), I'll have the Prius and an '04 Honda CR-V. The CR-V has reasonable gas mileage for an SUV (21 mpg in everyday driving) and is great for transporting my kayak on a Yakima roof rack and my mountain bike on a hitch rack. Also, the 4WD is good to have when it snows.

'97 Sebring Convertible- My "fun" car. Will spend winters in garage

'95 Dodge Grand Caravan- For hauling and towing for my small landscape business

'95 Plymouth Neon Sport- for my 17 yr old daughter, however, she stopped paying me back for it so it will be re-po'ed this week and sold for whatever I can get for it.

Next year I will have to buy a gas guzzling truck (a 250 or 350) to pull the big RV I plan on getting when I retire in 2007. It will replace the Caravan. To avoid the depreciation hit, it will be a 2001 or 2002.
 
1992 Honda Accord LX Coupe - which the Prius will be replacing.
2002 Acura MDX w/Touring Package - I can't take this to work anymore since I drive about 30 miles one way! It costs too much to fill so I let my wife drive it.
 
Ooh, ooh! I get to add something to this list. I just got a moped(scooter) for Yule. (I know Yule is a ways off but they decided to give it to me early)

So hopefully soon I'll be getting rid of the warning light lumina.

Wow looking at all thoose cars and thinking most US ppl most be loaded...

I know there's alot of differences in insurance policies between EU and US.

In Sweden we have to pay for each car and not that much rebate if you more then one car... Soo it's can sum up quite much...

But as of now this is what I've got:
A MB A140 a quite nice car and lovely to have in the city..

And the vehicle I use most:


Well not a car but my daily comute during no-snow period.
 
'88 Mustang 5.0L LX w/ 42K mi and original Gatorbacks
'93 Ford Aerostar (178,000 mi and still going strong!)
'02 Ford Focus (my daughter's driving it)
'04 Mercury Mountaineer AWD (Mama's)
'01 Honda Goldwing (my couch rocket & the reason car #1 only has 42Kmi - yeehah!) :D
 
We recently sold our 01 volvo S60 and bought an 05 Scion XB...now before you all start on the looks of the car you have to climb in one yourself. Very roomy, fun to drive and we are averaging around 35 in mixed driving. I drive the Prius on a regular basis, but enjoy the XB occasionally... 8)
