2007 Lexus SC430.
It's got a bigger trunk than everyone thinks.

2002 Ford Explorer. We've pondered trading it for a new SUV, but even with 175K miles on it, that thing has made 15+ trips up to the midwest (driving 90mph all the way) without ever giving us a problem. And those moments when my phone GPS re-routes me thru areas like Fort Worth Ave and Sylvan--- it makes me really glad to be driving a slightly beat up looking 8 year old vehicle. No one glances twice in that neighborhood! :) | | | | |

2008 HHR. So far the most versitale car I have ever owned. I can put an 6' step ladder in it and close the back. Also room for the claw footed tub in it. | | | | |

2001 Ford Focus...tons of room for my camera bag and tripod in the backseat...it goes the speed limits, nice gas mileage, and A/C still works fine.

one ton dually, 4x4 crew cab -- Duramax diesel.
but that's just so I can pull the 42' trailer with all my gear in it! 
better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it..... | | | | |

I upgraded to the '09 TL with Tech. The audio system and electronics package is worlds better than the previous generation. But I do like the way the previous generation handled better (except the turning radius sucked). | | | | |

However, I heard that the Volvo was the least reliable and capable of the three main SUV-like wagons that came out around the turn of the last century (Volvo, Audi and Subaru). I always thought the Audi version looked best out of the box, but maintenance and price were too much. I settled for an Outback and loved it for about 7 years! It would go anywhere I wanted, though that volvo looks like it could go anywhere and then some!

I can carry a single ladder in my legacy but 2 or 3 starts to become a problem along with the rest of my stuff. If all goes well, I would love to have an STI as my weekender/toy car.  | | | | |

It blends in and it never gets a secong look.
