Red mustang five speed with two car seats in the back lol. My husband drives the bus err, I mean, CUV because he can't drive a stick.
Prior to having kids I drove a Neon...I know, it makes NO sense.
The car questions got me thinking...
and (sadly? lol) as a mom of many, my 'car' identity is wrapped up in a 15 passenger dodge van...
BUT...in my 'pre kiddos' younger days...I WAS an alpha romeo...red...convertible...
What were/are YOU?

I'm an old beater volkswagen bus with a psychedelic paint job and a bunch of loaded hippies trying to get out...before it explodes!
Well....my first ever car was a RED mustang--sweet!
Now....meh....some days a Gremlin, some days a Jag! LOL
I'm your vehicle, baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
Not sure that you wanna know
That I love ya, love ya
Need ya, need ya
Want you, got to have you child
Great God in Heaven you know I love you!

(giggle, sorry. But you know I WAS a DJ in another life. That is to say the 80s, and worked in oldies clubs)
It's too hard for me to choose just ONE car, I'm a motorhead.
:)
Prekids I was fierce, fast, pretty, and prone to breaking in spectacular fashion. Also military. So I'd say a James Bond Car.
Post kids I'm like a classic mustang sitting in the rain for a few decades, or the twisted wreck left by Bond in a ditch. THE POTENTIAL is there to be a great car again (but not James Bond, Q came up with better newer models in the interim)... But I sure need a helluva lot of work!!!
I was a bright, shiny jeep.
Now I'm a jalopy :-/
*but I still run and my radio works :)
in my younger days i'd have to go with my beloved first car, a '67 mustang fastback, metallic green with a 289 high performance engine and 4 barrel holly carb (i'm so dating myself!)
and i don't really fit the purty new/used lexus my sweet dh recently bought me. i love it, but it's much sexier than i.
i'm probably my farm truck. sturdy, always get where i'm going, but very...very.....slowly.........

S.
1984 Ford Mustang 5.0... fast, loud, but baby it and it will purrrrrr...
Before sobriety - crashed car (literally and figuratively)
After sobriety - the Dave Ramsey beater - dependable and consistent (also literal and figurative)
I'm a Jeep girl all the way.
I'm 2011 Ford Expedition King Ranch Edition. (Or a 2012 Nissan Frontier, depending on the day.)
I used to have a Harley, but sold it because I can't deliver cakes and cupcakes on it. I wish I were a '66 Mustang Convertible...in red. ;)
Before kids - Jeep
As a mom - reliable Toyota
Lexus, suv...... nothing else...Love it and it makes me feel secure.
Yugo. :p
I don't know, maybe a 68 Mustang. :)
How dare Jennifer call the Honda CRV a family car!! I bought mine when I was done having a family car, err, van.
While a SAHM. A Chrysler Town and Country minivan
In transition. ... Hubby gave me a red Mazda miata convertible and a couple yrs later a Mercedes CLK
I now drive a Mercedes SL 550 convertible (LOVE IT) It fits me well!!!
Our daughter drives the CLK and it fits her well! She treasures that car.
Great question! Before kids 300zx. After kids SUV's for twelve years. Now a Lexus car. No need for SUV. Daughter will be driving soon so I bought what I wanted for me this time lol. I love it.... Smooth as glass..
My car actually fits me pretty well. It's a Honda CRV. Reliable, a family car, secure, and a really loud color. Yep that's me.
If you are talking about physically I am a step side truck. Streamlined everywhere else with a flared backside.
before marriage I was a Gremlin
after I am a Jalopy.. is that how you spell it?
I'm a Honda, always realiable as long as my maintenance is kept up. 100,500 miles and counting!
A Green VW Beetle. That's what my previous car was, and it suited me perfectly! It was fun, unique, and so happy! I would like to have another one, but I hate the new body style. Now I drive a Mazda 3, and I like it, but it's not as fun as the Beetle.
Hmmm...I've never thought about it. I'd say I've been a mini cooper before and after.
HAHA We play this game in the car. We guess who we have in mind by asking questions like this, car, pie, tree
So I am always described as the fullsize conversion van with a class 3 hitch, pulling a trailer or a boat. Ours is a GMC though. ;o)
Pre-kid days, the party van.
jade metallic green 6 speed rsx type s that i had to0ns of work put into - totally customized...it got stolen 2 years ago =( now i drive a pearl white acura tsx got it used in great condition and still in a 6speed manual.. good thing i went for a bigger car now that were expecting ... an audi R8 is my dream though if i had that car id live in it
I drive a Honda Ridgeline fits me well, before that a Durango that I loved! But what am I truly.....a Bugatti Veyron. makes me weak...
It would depend on what time in my life.
My first car was a hot rod (I really miss that car).
Than I had the cheap clunkers while trying to survive on my own (in my early 20’s), but as I got older I would say I am a mid-sized SUV. I can have fun off road and still carry the family and all the stuff around.
I don't know that much about cars.... I know some of he mechanics: how to change oil, how to change tire, engine stuff.... but about particular cars, you got me!
My first car was a 1977 Chevy Nova with a 350 hp engine, which meant it was fast. I could beat any preppy guy in his land rover at the stoplight anytime. It had an amazing sound system, and didn't even have 100k miles on it. It was a beast. A stick shift, and though it looked a little rough, it was so freaking awesome. I dream about having one again. I recently told my husband, in all seriousness, that if he could find me another, or comparable, I would trade in my completely paid off minivan, and he could buy a nice truck. I would do it in a heartbeat. There's plenty of room in the back for 3 kids. ;)
So with those things on it's checklist: fast, loud music, rough around the edges*, but amazing inside, I'd say that's me ;)
Have a great day!
