I'm just curious...How many vehicles does your family have? blush.gif

mckayleesmom replied: We just have 1...a Kia Amante...But at the moment we only really need 1. Dh travels for business 3 weeks at a time and hes usually back 2. When he is home..he goes to the office, but is usually back by about noon. When we move he would like to get a truck, but right now its not neccessary.


Is the car or truck your dh wants something he is paying cash for? Or does he want to make payments? I would say no if it is something that involves payments.

Edward's Mommy replied: Zero!

MamaJAM replied: We only have 2 now...though only one of them fits our whole family. DH has a Saturn Vue (SUV) - I have a Saturn Relay (minivan/SUV thing).

We used to have 1 minivan - 1 van - and 1 car....we kept an older, cruddy minivan around for when the main van was in the shop (which was too frequent). When we got my Relay - we got rid of the van then the minivan (it wasn't in great shape either). I miss having the back-up of a second vehicle we all fit into...but I don't miss the repair bills. happy.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Two, both VWs...mine is a station wagon and his the SUV. We would never need a third. Why does your DH want a third??

jacobsmama replied:
He wants to buy like a 600-800 dollar car for him to have so if he doesn't want to drive his truck he doesn't have too. And it is like a sporty one that he could never drive in winter if needed. OH and BTW this is the man who is so deprived that he has a motorcycle, fourwheeler and a hotrod truck he is working on. sleep.gif What a brat! wink.gif

1lilpeanut2love replied: 1!! A dodge caravan.

luvmykids replied: Five. I know, we're ridiculous. DH has his truck and a jeep, I have my Excursion and a car (which I never drive, it's too small!) and we still have a convertible we just can't part with. I'm determined to drive it some this summer or it goes bye bye.

redchief replied: Two of our own... and I have a work truck that belongs to the plumbing business. I also have the fire chief's car, but that belongs to the town so I can't really count it.

We have a Chev. Tahoe for the mob and Lisa, and a Beretta that acutally belongs to my second son, but is used by us when he's away at school.

mom21kid2dogs replied: We have 2~ a 95 Toyota Tacoma and a 02 Chevy Prizm

MyLuvBugs replied: 2, but it might be one soon if my car doesn't start acting better. dry.gif

zdk753 replied: 3, but only 1 that we drive. The other 2 have been sitting in my yard for over a year now. 1 just needs a starter, but my hubby is too lazy to put one in & the other 1 he bought w/o finding out if 1) the owner had a title for it & 2) if the name on the title matched the person selling the vehicle. Needless to say it has been virtually impossible to tag it.

kayla's mama replied: We have 2.......03 Dodge Ram Quad Cab....that's Jason's but I've been driving it til I find a job because it is such a gas hog......99 Saturn...its about on its last leg....can't believe it has almost 100,000 miles ohmy.gif I'm to scared to drive it to St. Louis...it a 5 hr trip.

CAMSMOM1 replied:

rolling_smile.gif Kristi, your DH sounds like mine! Are they friends conspiring against us? rolling_smile.gif


Justin has 3 motorcycles, 1 fourwheeler, 1 three-wheeler, he has a Chevy Truck & a 70 El Camino SS. Oh yes, he is SPOILED!!!! rolleyes.gif

I have a great car though, so I can't complain. I have a 2003 Chevy Impala LS. I love my car! wub.gif

But even though Justin has a lot of vehicles, and off road vehicles...it's nice having an extra car around.

What if one of your cars breaks down? It's nice having a back up, and if he's only thinking of buying a 800.00 car...sounds like it's a good plan! But I know how you feel, boys & their toys! They'll never be satisfied! laugh.gif

Edward's Mommy replied: I wish I had a car!! sleep.gif

Crystalina replied: We have 4 vehicles. We have a caravan, a toyota (my car), an S-10 pickup and my husband has a huge pickup and I have no idea what model it is. happy.gif
I got the Toyota last fall because it only takes $20 to fill it up and with me living 15 minutes from anything I use alot of gas. My van was costing about $60 every 4 days! ohmy.gif Something had to be done.

jacobsmama replied: Yeah Ann I think we are secret twins and don't know it!!! Even our hubbies have the same bad habits hahah


We have been talking about getting a car for him but Ann said it best

Boys and their toys! rolling_smile.gif

Chiflata2003 replied: We only have one.

3xsthefun replied: We have 3.

00'Subuaru Outback Sport- Is my car.

87' Ford F-150- Hubby's Truck

84' Ford SVO Mustang- neither one of us are driving it right now. We are hoping get it back on the road this summer we will see.

CosmetologyMommy replied: one right now, chevy cavalier. DH's family took his pontiac when we moved out on our own. We plan on getting another with our income tax.

Boys r us replied: We have 3 right now, a 2004 VW Passat, 2004 Chevy Tahoe and Rick has a HUGGGGGGE truck that he uses for our business, a 2002 Ford F-350.

coasterqueen replied: We have two. My 2002 or 2003 (can never remember) Chrysler Town and Country mini van and a 1998 dodge neon. DH got the neon when I got the mini van. It's his turn for the brand new car when we pay the mini van off.

We would like to have a truck again too, an el-cheapo, one day.

jcc64 replied: 97 Nissan Pathfinder
02 Subaru legacy GT

can't have anything but 4WD around here.

JP&KJMOM replied: I have a Tahoe (LOVE IT) and Jason has a 2003 Dodge 3/4 ton.
Stepson has a '72 Chev truck and we also have a farm truck that stays at our place.

Oh and JP has a Honda 3 wheeler.....does that count? laugh.gif

aspenblue1 replied: We have 2 cars
DH has silverado
I have SRX

C&K*s Mommie replied: We have two cars, that are paid for but sometimes Chris and I get the itch to get another one (sell or trade one of ours) just so we can have a newer vehicle. But we eventually talk ourselves & each other out of it, we do not want to accrue anymore debt right now.

Kaitlin'smom replied: We have 3
my 05 Relay
his 98 Saturn
and the 93 truck, we payed cash for it. we got it cause we were always needing a truck for something, espically pinballs and to rent one as often as we needed one well it was cheeper to buy. he is thinking of sometime trading both in on a bigger truck

giffmom replied: We have 2, I have a 97 breeze which I hope to trade in pretty soon for a mini van or suv, DH has a 95 dodge ram extended cab and he wants a motorcycle to break his neck on. But if I have my way he is not getting one.

My3LilMonkeys replied: We have 2, I have a Jeep Cherokee that's on it's last leg and DH has a Chevy Blazer.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: We have one working mini van that my parents are lending us (it's OLD) and 3 non-working vehicles. wacko.gif We don't have the best of luck with cars. rolleyes.gif

3 of our 4 vehicles are old junkies given to us - one we are still paying for (it was mine before we got married) and it is parked in our garage because the transmission went out. growl.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
I know how you feel. I am stuck at home all day because Dh has to take our only working vehicle to work - and I live half an hour away from everyone I know. dry.gif There isn't anywhere to go in my little hick town anyways. rolleyes.gif I am looking forward to Spring so that Andrew and I can at least go for walks! cool.gif

~~*Missi*~~ replied: we have a 2003 malibu a 2004 kia spectra and a 2005 kia optima for our home (which has my parents in it also, we bought a home all together so sabrina was close to them)

So three for four adults is nothing
