5. Of course! That's how he rolls.

6. Don't knock the Chuggomobile.

It is the number one car for going leafing in Vermont with the Lakeshore Stranglez.

The suspension leaves something to be desired, however.

4. 2010 Nautical blue Toyota Matrix

Similar to what one might find here:



Which is really kind of ironic seeing how ho-hum I was on my previous car, a 2004 Toyota Corolla, which I couldn't wait to get rid of. The Matrix is essentially a Corolla wagon. But what can I say? I liked the Matrix's styling and some of its features. Plus the fact that I got to pick out the color and the features on this one helps build my enthusiasm towards it.

And just to let everyone know, I am not a foriegn import snob and I did consider both American and Japanese models....if GM hadn't been discontinuing Pontiac, I probably would have considered buying a Vite instead (which is essentially the same car as the Matrix). It just so happened that the Matrix had the most of what I was looking for and it manages to fit into my way-too-tight garage. FWIW, the best car I ever had still has to be my very American 1994 Dodge Shadow.

7. Thats a nice car.

I LOVE the color. I think Toyota has made some nice visual improvements on the Matrix. I'm a Toyota girl myself..I loooove my Celica. I'm just pissed they don't make them anymore.

8. Only ever got it in a bottle

never been able to afford a new car and most likely never will.
