OT: Just for fun... if you could buy any car you wanted (under $50k!), what would it be?

A Honda Civic...Then save the rest for a rainy day.

Aw, c'mon... that's no fun!

I got to drive a 2011 Kia Rio several months ago and I loved. It was gold and had almost everything I wanted on it except power windows and door locks which I think would be nice but aren't really necessary I guess.

I'm looking at cars right now. The one I like the best is a Lincoln hybrid. It gets 41 miles to the gallon and I think it's kinda cute. It's about 32 K.

Car shopping now, actually.  Not 100% sure but so far I am leaning towards the Hyundai Sonata Limited w/nav package.  Theres a nice blue that I love. 

I have driven a Jaguar, a Corvette, and a brand new Infinity, all with all the bells and whistles, and I now drive a Prius.

Those other cars are great to drive, right up until you have to gas up...

My little Prius is not pretty, but it does have most of the same bells and whistles as my Infinity; however, the gas savings when I fill up is the big thrill for me.

I just got really tired of pouring my money into the pockets of the greedy fuel interests, so decided that I would give up looks for premium, and would do it again.  My next car will also very likely be a Prius. 

Gas usage would be my priority. I would only consider a car with V4 and 1.8 to 2.4 liters. I also want safety, so I would only buy a car with ABS and every possible airbag available. Color would be dark inside because I have kids who love to spill food. That's about it. If I had $50,000 I would get a BMW or Mercedes. My lease is coming up on my Toyota Matrix and I don't even have the money to buy it or another car. I actually dream of a Toyota Sienna that would fit all my family but definitely don't have the money for it.

Infiniti FX35. Love it!!! I have a Supercharged Mini Cooper, six speed manual tranny and I love it too. I'm a car girl. Would love a red Corvette convertible, a Nissan Cube, I could go on forever.

That's an easy one for me.  With two little kids I long for a new Honda Odyssey Touring Elite.   

My dream car would be a red 68 convertible mustang with white interior.  But new, that's easy a white Toyota 4 Runner LTD loaded.
