I drove a '08 Honda Civic Hybrid, before having to downsize to a '12 Yaris Hybrid. Will miss the Honda though as it was a nicer car. Unfortunately Honda does not manufacture a 'green' enough Civic to commute into London for free....

How do you feel about London's congestion charging?

The Corolla Trueno twin cam is a sick car...Montreal is also one of my favorite cities to visit...

1974 Jeep Wagoneer, full time 4WD with 34" tires and a locker in the rear. Got 8mpg.

It hasnt been really restored (yet). Its more of a 50 footer, original paint is a little rough. What I have done to it myself is replaced the engine, was blown when I got it, upgraded to 3/4 ton 8-lug axles with a shackle flip in the rear for lift, razor grille conversion, larger fuel tank, custom bumpers and rock sliders. Also did some interior mods.

This Wagoneer is a little deceiving because they never made a 4-door SJ with wide track axles and fender flares. This was converted to a wide track when it was new by a dealer out in Cali. Only the J-trucks and some of the 2-dr Cherokee's had the fender flares.

A 1986 Chevy Celebrity. I bought the car used for $900 and drove it hard until it died. Sweet ride for being a bit of a rust box.

mirapatec · 01-28-2013, 12:51 PM

I previously drove a 1999.5 MK4 VW Jetta (one of the very first ones to roll off the assembly line for that model). I loved this car overall, but it eventually developed peculiar electrical gremlins where the windows would not function depending on the phase of the moon, the car alarm would go off in the middle of the night even when not set, the turn signals worked when they felt like it, and numerous plastic pieces decided to break/snap off just for fun. Wheee!

With me requiring an absolutely dependable daily driver, the aforementioned oddities were unacceptable. I have higher hopes for Toyota.

First I had a 2007 yaris Base 5 speed manual and now I have a 2012 SE 5 speed manual :D

2010 Tundra had to get rid of it due to gas prices in my area over 4 dollars a gallon and at 9.9 mpg average it was killing me.

And before that a lifted 2008 Tacoma
