1999 Ford F-150 Lariat Extended Cab 4WD for the snow up north. Very reliable, and I've pulled several people out of snow drifts.

Corolla I bought used for $6000 w/90,000 miles on it. Now has 220,000 miles. I hate spending money on cars.

Husband and I are both pilots...
We drive a '98 Toyota Camry and a '08 Prius (We bought the Prius with salvaged title and it has been the best car we've ever had!)

00 Audi S4, probably one of the most maintenance intensive car on the planet ughh, but great to drive. I love/hate this car.

04 Yamaha R6, fun but am missing the torque of my now gone R1.

I am convinced that there is no more fun to be had for the money than motorcycle, specifically an older Japanese sport bike. Can't go wrong...
