My current ride is an Audi TT, but when I get back from this deployment I'm planning on selling it and grabbing a JCW edition Cooper Clubman (The wife wants back seats). I was just curious what sorts of wheels you guys had, we'll call it Wheels Wednesday!

I'm driving a VW Jetta, and I would like to stay with German cars. If I can swing it, I'd like to get a BMW.

I had been a Honda man for over 20 years. Hondas are great cars, so I could go back, easily.

I currently drive a 2012 Hyundai Tucson which has been a very reliable and economical choice to date; the wife's daily driver is a 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid which she is absolutely in love with. For my next car I'm looking at the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid; but the more realistic choice will probably be the Ford Fusion hybrid! LOL!

Of course my summer choice is my 09 Honda Shadow Aero!

You know, life has a funny way of taking us on some interesting journeys in life. I spent 20 years married to a woman who had to have the top of the line.....everything. I spent almost half my life trying to keep up with the Joneses and you can never have enough stuff. I got in a hole so deep after the marriage and subsequent divorce that I'm now proudly sporting a tiny 4 banger with OVER 251,000 miles and a transmission that insists on having me hold the clutch in 3rd. Now, I'm married to a woman who lost everything in that 2011 tsunami. developed cancer, and got abandoned by her ex in a foreign country, with no way home...and no home to go back to. I've never felt so blessed in my life. Take all that money you would spend on the car of your dreams and find someone on the brink of disaster and be there for them. It doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are. A pure act of selfless charity will make you feel like king of the world. Respect! Uncle Mark

My current whip is a silver/grey/black Nissan Xterra. Stock. Just added better tires. It has cameras set up on it for 360* surveillance, comm radios and a computer on a pedastool in the front cockpit due to my civilian occupation. I have a few mechanical mods to assist with the fuel economy and tinted windows. Of course there's an Army sticker on the window.....

Current wheels are an '07 Impala and I love it. Next car realistically will probably be a Malibu, like the way the current ones look. My ultimate goal would be one of the new Corvettes but for now I'll have to stick with my model one. Much cheaper on gas and insurance than a real one.

My original car was an old (2000 era) Civic. Great car. Had close to 275K Miles on it.

I traded up at the beginning of this month. A 2015 BMW 428i X-Drive (all wheel drive), Gran Coupe. It's built in Munich, and I purchased it in Wurzburg. Got it with 4 miles on the odometer. Since have driving it some 1800 miles. This weekend driving to the Black Forest, just to get out of the greater Stuttgart area

Fun topic... while I would love a sports car, I don't fit into any German cars - not enough leg room, and besides, with the condition of the roads in this country, having a sports car is a waste.

For me it's about tech these days.
- LED or laser headlights (I need the lighting - cataracts make night driving interesting)
- Adaptive cruise control (I damaged my right knee many years ago while "Haze grey and underway) to make rush hour traffic tolerable
- Android Auto on the head unit - car navigation software is always buggy and out of date; the ability to use Google Maps in a large screen on the car is invaluable, and besides, once car manufacturers start making their infotainment systems play Android or iOS natively, the systems will be much more reliable and much simpler
- room, comfortable seating and good outward vis..
- power AND fuel economy

I drive a 2014 Dodge Charger and my wife drives a 2013 Dodge Durango R/T. My car has not hit 10,000 miles yet (although it's getting close) and my wifes is getting close to 40,000 now. I have been thinking about buying a Challenger next. My Charger is the SE version and I love it, but I live in Illinois. Winters suck in IL, and if you don't have all wheel drive, your vehicle is worthless for many months of the year. The Charger has a V6 with around 290 hp stock, and the Durango has a V8 HEMI.

I always loved fast cars and I loved driving them fast. But, now I'm an old fart and that's how I drive. My wife laughs when people pass us on the freeway. She remembers. Currently I'm driving an Infiniti G35 and may be driving it the rest of my life inasmuch as I only put about 3,000 miles on it each year. Driving just isn't fun anymore. If I have to get something else it will be a hybrid or maybe a fuel cell car if they are making them by the time I need something new. Toyota has announced its first. No, don't cry for me. I had my fun. It's your turn now...

2012 Ford Focus SE. I have way too many miles on a three year car (almost 60,000) but paid off two years early. It's the base model with the sports appearance package with adds cruse, leather wrapped wheel, some rims and I think lowered a little bit. I don't need anything too fancy. Only thing I hate about the car is the traction control sucks and I hate the SYNC technology. But been a great handling and riding car otherwise.

Before that a 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring. I got a TON of jokes (look it up on google) but I loved that car. Put a ton of miles on it and thing was a champ! I plan on keeping the Focus as long as I can but I bring up the Hyundai because I have owned a hatchback now for many years and my next car hopefully will not be a hatchback. I really like the new 2016 Honda Civic but not in a position to get a new car right now and if I did get a new car I'd keep the Focus for trips or driving to work.
