realtor and restaurant owner in Los Angeles (Studio City)
2003 Infiniti G35 with 230,901 miles on it. black on black.
As a realtor I need a 4 door vehicle that looks sharp for driving around clients but the biggest factor when I was shopping was rear wheel drive. I just hate the feel of front wheel drive. the 260 hp and sport tuned suspension help too.

I'm essentially a landman for renewable energy projects. After driving my '03 Buick Century into the ground (260,000+), I have recently acquired a '97 DeVille and a '96 Town Car. I didn't buy them as status symbols, but rather because they each have low mileage, are in great condition, and cost less than $5,000 for the pair.
I have always believed that a vehicle is merely a mode of transportation to convey oneself from point A to point B.

Assistant Athletic Director. Dodge Magnum with more than 200,00 miles on it. Love all the room it has...I'm going to drive it until it dies. After that I see myself getting a Ford Fusion or something similar to that. My better half has a 2014 Honda Civic.

1) orthopedic surgeon
2) tesla model s
3) no social pressures -- I drove a 1999 Camry through med school, residency, fellowship, and first couple of years of practice. I wanted something awesome and different. Plus, not having to buy gas is fantastic.
Anyway, I had the same SUV from med school through fellowship courtesy of the parents and I am starting my first job in August. Was thinking about the tesla so not to buy gas since I'll be driving 90 miles a day round trip to work.
The $7500 tax incentive is great as well.
Do you love it?
I did med school at Vanderbilt class of 01

Lots of pressure

from where? And how do you have the Michigan connection as a Miami (YTM) foreign exchange student?
Subaru Outback.
No pressure...but I also don't live in a major metro area where that kind of thing is more prevalent.
1) MD/PhD student
2) 1992 Cadillac Seville, black with a soft top
3) I don't understand
and truly blessed I am a Corporate Travel Director. I get to travel around the world organizing Corporate events. I am currently at the Great Barrier Reef for 7 weeks..and I get PAID to be here.....Ford Explorer..love my big SUVs I admit
I'm a graduate student living in Chicago. I don't own a car.
But as a son, grandson, and great-grandson of union folk in metro Detroit, including a great-grandfather that worked at Ford's for 30+ years, I'll be damned if I ever bought an import. Like, it will never happen. But I don't plan on buying a car until such a time as I absolutely need one.
The lines have been blurred for a long while. I grew up in Bloomfield Hills in the 90s and 00s every Ford family seemed to drive Volvos, Jaguars and Land Rovers, as Ford Mo. Co. owned them.
GM families frequently bought SAABS for their kids. Lots of moms drove an Hummers.
Currently Chrysler is owned by Fiat, so a lot of Chrysler family teens and college kids have Fiat 500s.
Import cars? You mean the German, Japanese, and Korean cars which have more American labor in them than Ford does?! I see the UAW brainwashing is strong with you.
Hmmmm, with stats like that I would've thought you'd be more of an '89 Lebaron type.
1. Gaffer/Key Grip

No pressures, been buying BMWs since the first time I was stationed in Germany.
AF vet here and AFOSI ranks were confidential. Not sure if the Army (CID) is the same way or not.
I suppose but when I do wear my uniform I wear my rank. In garrison I hardly ever am in uniform but we do go in the field and deploy. The last time I wore my uniform was flying back to the states in an Air Force Executive jet back in December. Besides crew there were 6 of us on the jet, just burning tax money. I worked with you guys back in Germany a few times, good people. I hope to do this forever, haha.

Thanks and likewise...
I never saw OSI in anything than other than suits. I got debriefed by them a few times so that's the reason I became familiar with that organization.
I never got the whole interservices rivalry thing. My last few years in I was constantly TDY and to joint assignments. Had to prove I wasn't "chair force" but after getting that out of the way, the soldiers and Marines I came across were great to me.

Nope, SNCO 17 yrs in so far and hoping for many more. Been buying used ones since I was 18, my first new one. I've been on TDY for the majority of my career and collected SRB. I first went to Germany in 98 and I have spent the majority of my time being based from there. A good portion of the lower EM in my company who was on their first tour there bought a BMW right before PCSing.
I think you observation is correct though. I did have a new company commander that drove a beat up conversion van he had shipped from the states. He said he had it since he was 17 when his grandfather passed and left it to him. I was his driver for a few months, one of the smartest people I have ever met.
1. Currently a Quality Control Technician, but just accepted a job that is my passion. In June I will be a full time pastor, no more full time and volunteer jobs for me.
2. Mercury Mountaineer AWD
3. Not at all
05 ford freestyle & 01 town n country
Not that I'm aware of; those wo kids have nicer or smaller cars, I haul around baseball gear and need something large and reliable and cheap
