Just wondering which automaker made your car. If you have more than one car, use your daily driver, i.e. the car you drive most often.

Note: Because I was linited to 12 choices I listed wholly owned marques under their parents but listed partly owned ones (Mazda, Mitsubishi) separately. Sorry, Volvo owners.

I lied about my poll answer, because I hate
polls. I'm really sick of them, and it is none
of your effing business.

BTW: I like your tag line from "Indiana Jones,
Raiders of the Lost Ark"

No one forced you to vote or even look at this thread.

Anyway, I've got myself a 2003 Mazda Protege. Only 3k miles on the bugger.

That was also an inside joke because the character was, in fact, named after George Lucas' dog, Indiana.

Heh... I got a '84 Ford F-150. It's blue, like the one on the show The Simple Life and it's got like 203,000 miles on it. '03 was the year that sucked (for me, anyways).

1997 Toyota Celica ST (mine's red though). Made my final payment on it today!




In case you were wondering, I had a balloon payment that I refinanced.

Same thing I was thinking.

I own two GM mad cars.

2000 GMC Jimmy 4x4
2003 Chevrolet Venture extended w/DVD. (really my wife's, but it is fun to drive. But, I drive this on the days it is my turn to drive for the car pool as it holds 7 people.)

Yes, here in the U.S. we've been trying for the last 20 years to forget about Renault and Fiat. But thanks for reminding me.

Oh, and I almost forgot: Mine is a 2003 Subaru Forester.

Well, Renault ownes a big part of Nissan/Infinity
Fiat ownes Alfa Romeo /Lancia / Ferrari / Maserati

not to bad.

Mazda should go under the Ford brand
Rolls Royce under BMW
Bentley and Lamborghini under VW

and I drive a Toyota Rav4
