Dream Car: Motorcycle :p
You can weave through traffic, park it practically anywhere and the insurance is mucho less.

Sperrit, you forgot "and can turn your body into supersize cherry slush in any slightly physical encounter". I like bikes but I'd never seriously consider a motorcycle for anything more than a fun ride. I've been in accidents (never while I was driving tho) and the thought of doing 55 even and hitting anything on a bike not pleasant at all.

Ming, the Oddysey is the Rolls Royce of vans (God, do I sound "domesticated" LOL). They had one I saw in a dealership for $40,000+. Who seriously draws up a 40k van??? Sadly, it's worth it but why waste all that in a van? It was sweet tho.

All I can say is that most injuries from accidents in cars come from people smacking into things... IN THE CAR. With a motorcycle you can just jump clear or get thrown clear as opposed to slamming into metal and being trapped in what is, essencially, a large combustion bomb.
But there ain't nothing wrong with cars.

Motorcycles are also a hell of a lot cheaper in most situations.

Plus a motercycle (Other than Gold Wings of course) force you to be aware of your surroundings since there's no radio or dials to fiddle with. Hell, it freaks you out to look at the spedometer so ya just go with the flow.

I had a motorcycle and it was sweet to ride...I just never got around to getting one of them motorcycle license things. So I eventually sold it cause I couldn't ride it and I wasn't willing to pay $200 for me license. I may go get the license later this year so I can buy a new motorcycle. You can't beat $19 a month for insurance and like 40 miles to the gallon all in a machine that you can buy used, AND in good condition, for under 2K. (Most people buy motorcycles and get rid of them like 2 months later and depritiation is a biatch)

Okay, now for my post on what I actaully drive...
I dive a Jade Green '00 Nissan Sentra GXE. It's a good car, got a 127 hp I-4, 15" alloy wheels and 180 watt sound system (all of that came with the car, mind you). Not too bad for my first NEW car.
As far as future plans, I'm leaning towards either a Nissan 350Z or an Infiniti G35 (Next Gen Skyline, Katana's baby)

Yeah, but those are Harleys... Which are commonly referred to as the Fords of the biking industry.

Namely they are well known for rattling apart and needing to be tuned once a month. And the latest Harley Dove Tails have Japanese engines in them and Harley STILL went in and screwed the engine to the point of rattling it's own bolts off.

If you want a REAL bike you can depend on go with Honda or Indian. But if ya got like $50 K get a custom bike from a professional designer guy. I can't remember the name of the bike I want at the moment but I know it was a honda and it was about 10 feet long. It had 6 cylinders (Most bikes only have 2 in case ya didn't know) it was quite nice.

You know, I'd say I drive a bike...

...But ^^;;

...I can't ride a bike.

So, I walk.

Or Chris carries me.

I am currently driving the Honda CR-V. Its 160-horsepower, i-VTEC® engine packs a heavyweight punch, while the refined chassis delivers a responsive, agile ride, no matter where you're headed.
