I have owned 3 vehicles in my 14 years as a driver.
My first car was a 1990 Honda Accord. His name was Chuck. Chuck was awesome, and got me through high school.
Second car was a 2003 Honda Accord. Her name was Helen. I loved that car. I didn't want to drive Helen when I left San Diego, so Helen is making someone else happy.
My current car was a "steal" when I bought it on the cheap. A 1999 Audi A6. His name is Richard. 'Cause he's a dick. The interior is pristine, exterior has only a few minor scratches in it, but the maintenance costs for Richard are ridiculous. There is an intermittent electrical short that I cannot find the cause of that will cause the battery to drain in minutes. On Friday, I got out of Richard at the liquor store to get some High Grav for the weekend, and when I got back, Richard was being a major asshole. Completely dead. Got a jump and got home and put the battery charger on it, and after a day, nothing. Then, after putting the high voltage starter current on it, it started right up, the electrical issue seems to be gone, and we're back to normal. This happens once every couple of months. Can't figure it out.
My favorite brand of cars is Subaru. I want a Subaru Legacy, Outback, or Impreza as my next vehicle. I love their utility. AWD, 4 banger boxer engine with enough power and fuel economy to be sensible. And most of all, easy and cheap (relatively) to work on.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
