I own four cars. Not trying to make a statement... I just buy the cars I like.

1966 Plymouth VIP 383-4 bbl (Because one of my brothers used to own a similar car and I've always wanted to own a '60s Mopar with a big-block engine).

1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (Because 1969 is my favorite year for Cadillacs and cars in general, the Fleetwood is big and roomy, has a big and powerful high-compression 472-cu-in engine, a nice and smooth ride and I like the front and rear end styling).

1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine (Because the biggest and most luxurious Cadillacs are not that expensive to buy. I've always wanted a limousine... can't be topped for elegance, glamor, ride and roomines. Super-smooth 500-cu-in engine, room for 9 people, huge rear compartment.)

1995 Lincoln Town Car (Because I can enjoy driving a big car yet still get about 20 mpg. Comfortable and smooth ride and reliable).

I think fins really work, man.

I grew up around fins.

I drive a hybrid because the earth is going to end if I drive purely a gas powered car. I hug trees on weekends. Ok, not really. I drive a hybrid becaus I got a good deal.

I love my Prius, but I'll admit to a longtime yearning for a Mercedes. Many years ago I got to drive one that belonged to someone I worked for, and it was wonderful! Definatly NOT in my budget, however!
