1996 - Toyota Red 4Runner (still have it, but it's a family car)
2005 - Toyota Metallic Blue 4Runner (another family car, which my dad traded in for the next car)
2007 - Toyota Hybrid Camry Titanium Grey

thennnn

2006 - RX-8 Copper Red Shinka (Finally my own car)

as you can probably guess, our family loves toyotas, as they're pretty reliable and they do make good family cars, but for driving, then not really.

well as for the Ford Focus. it looks exactly like the aftermath of a ford focus my friend got hit in on the passengers side while driving on the highway. literally the entire side of the car came off.. Its a miracle she didnt get killed too... no way i would ride in one of those things, i dont care how good the gas mileage is, doesnt do you much good while they are peeling you off the highway now does it? Glad you made it out alive and have moved on to better things.

Mineral Grey '02 Mustang GT Convertible (premium) totaled. I love this car... spent (wasted) lots of money modifying it. Drove like a dream. I loved that color so much, I've actually thought of re-painting my '8 the same color.
