Depends upon how much money you have to purchase it with, 'safe' is preferable to me...and that does NOT induce me to drive like a 'safe(r) nutcase' from lots of experience, and God's grace that spared me some of that/those experience(s)...

:cool:
 
I like the car that I own. Because it's the only one I can actually use.

I own an SUV, I'll pick an SUV over a car anyday.
 
Hope you like burning money. =]

It's worth every penny ;)
 
How about them prototype hydrogen-powered cars? 0 to 60 in 14 seconds :smile:

It probably won't be nearly as powerful as modern cars that get from 0 to 60 in 3-4 seconds, but at least it won't be guzzling up gas.

people honestly you are all missing out: the only vehicle for me is a motor bike, once you ride one u will never look at a car the same, i can't use words to describe the finer points of a bike you have to ride one to find out

In heavy traffic, I drive my Ram with the jungle bars. "If you can't Dodge it, Ram it." Light traffic, the Element, aka "The Toaster." Sadly, no place to put a gun rack on the Element.
