Mountian Bike in my case. Don't ask me why as the word "Pushie" doesn't load images of a bike but that is what they are commonly called here.
1998 Pathfinder SE for me and a 2004 350Z performance coupe for my wife:
We trade off depending on the weather, passenger/cargo needs, and availability of the Z.

A 1993 Honda Civic, which has about 180,000 miles on it.
My primary vehicle is a late 2005 Ford Explorer XLT LTD, Black, with the Floorboard-Storage option (as opposed to the extra 2 seats...). Got that a short while ago (technically a company car, but it's my mothers business anyway so.. )
The car I was driving before that (and still do quite often) is a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Sports Classic, straight-six....bloody lovely car, once the dodgy engine that got recalled was replaced, and the thousand other things wrong with it were fixed. very powerfull car, handles like a dream and has an awesome wheelbase.
Sometimes I drive one of mums BMW's (X3, X5), but those are some of the worst vehicles i've ever seen...can't see anything from the inside out (seats too high, windows too small), handles like a piece of shit in the ocean, and the steering wheel! It's barely as big as my fricken hand!

There's usually a lot of mechanics at car auctions since a lot of the cars need a lot of things fixed and nobody else is too interested in them.radeonic2 said:um no.. where yall get that idea?

Although there is absolutely no way that driving a hybrid SUV which only does something in the order of 30-40MPG could ever be called 'saving the planet'... Cars like PSA's upcoming diesel hybrids (around 70MPG) are at least an attempt to that direction, but replacing all the cars in the world with those wouldn't still do much else than rock the volumes of oil business a little.
Last of the real Range Rovers! 1987, the year before they went to the automatic viscus centre dif. Then added diff locks front and back, winch, bull bars, LPG/CNG, free-flow exhaust, snorkel, etc, etc, etc. Havent driven it in 2 years cos its in NZ, and Im not. It did get 27MPG on the open road using LPG, which in term of emmisions is about the same as getting ~70MPG on unleaded.
In London, I walk for 20 minutes to the tube station, then 40 minutes on the tube, then 5 minutes walk to the office.
In NZ I drove a Fiat Tippo 1.9 diesel. From home to work was exactly 3 minutes if I got all the traffic lights, or 7 minutes if it was a busy traffic day. 1 tank of diesel would last 3.5 weeks.

EDIT: Changed last paragraph to NZ from London. Opps
