Aloha Friday: Jeep Liberty Baby

So this is my second time doing Aloha Friday!

If you’ve never heard of it, it started over on An Island Life.
I ask a question….I answer it….and then you answer it too!
Sound like fun?
_________________________________________________
Here goes:
What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Do you like it?
What was the worst vehicle you’ve owned?

A: ok, so ya that was more like 3 questions but one made the next pop into my brain and so on LOL! I drive an ’03 Jeep Liberty Limited Edition. I {heart} my jeep! I fought hubby so bad because I did NOT want an SUV for anything when we were looking for vehicles I was so darn hooked on having a Ford Focus (they had just come out). But I *had* to have in gun-metal great with a moon roof and stick shift. If we found it with a moon roof it would be automatic and so on. The prices weren’t really that cheap b/c it was a fairly new car out. Hubby finally made me start looking at SUV’s. He was interested in my getting a Nissan Pathfinder but I wasn’t having it, I thought the Jeep Liberty was so cute I had to have it. Suddenly there she was…dark blue, fully loaded, moon roof…..and heated, yes, heated leather seats LOL. I was sold. I now own an SUV. Hubby even gave me the chance to upgrade this past year and I turned him down!
While it’s not the most friendly on gas…ok who am I kidding I get 16 mpg on this thing and I had more room in the trunk of my Sentra then I do in the back of this, but I love it. I even have a tail gate on it. I’ve never towed a thing. ever. So I got a really cute Tinkerbell cap for it and now everyone knows when its me LOL
The worst car I ever owned was an old school (’89 i think) Mercury Tracer Hatchback LOL! The thing was hideous and I was so embarrassed but I was 18, 6 months pregnant, and I had just gotten in an accident with my Toyota when the breaks decided to go and I couldn’t stop at an intersection until another car stopped me. Lets just say when some idiot at the post office backed into it I mean floored into it and I got to get my Sentra I was blissfully happy.

    I have an 07 Mitsubhishi Outlander. I like it for the room and it also gets pretty good gas mileage for an SUV (22-25 HWY). Dont really have a bad car…I have only had 3.

  2. Faith - That's Just Freaking Lovely says

    I have a Durango .. it’s ok. I really want a Jeep Liberty!

  3. Sherrie says

    I drive an ’08 Toyota Highlander, and I Love it! I love Toyotas period.

    My worst car was my first car…and ’88 Ford Escort. I blew it up…LOL!

  4. CraftGirlAlli says

    I have an ’06 Chevy Cobalt. I loved it when I first got it. Mainly because it was the first car that I paid for on my own! It’s still a good car, but I just thinks its WAY TOO SMALL now. I’ve only had 2 cars in my life. The Cobalt and a ’92 Ford Escort. Although I never hated that car, I did complain about it, a lot! But it was my first car ever. The driver’s side window was broken, there was no A/C and it would shake terribly once you hit 50mph. But man, everyone loved it! I was covered in bumper stickers and everyone knew it was me! I drove that thing til it finally died. RIP Escort!

    Growing up I always had to drive the worst cars.. Beast cars.. the kind that seem to take up the entire highway..then choose to stall at any given moment lol ๐Ÿ™‚ When I got married.. I upgraded a bit lol We had a sporty vehicle up until last year.. but after having too..we both decided it was time.. yep..it was time to do the Mini Van thing lol We bought a Town & Country and we love it! Not as embarrassed as I thought I might be lol

    We have a 2007 Passat Wagon – I love it, but it is too small (with 2 car seats in the back my step-daughter has to SQUASH in the middle seat), so we are looking at 3-row cars. My worst car wasn’t mine, but I would have to say learning to drive in my mom’s massive old white buick. It was a huge beast! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  7. Shannon says

    I drive a Subaru Legacy GT Wagon and LOVE it! I can fit 3 car seats in the back seat! It’s great!

    Not sure if I had a car I didn’t like. I hate it when we have to pay big bucks to fix them though ๐Ÿ™

  8. Brandi says

    We drive a titan truck. I love it!

    I have only ever owned a ford escort which we still have.

  9. Michelle Johnson says

    I have a ’99 Ford F350. I love it!

    I’ve actually really liked all the cars I’ve owned. Hasn’t been very many but they’ve been good ones!

  10. Auntie E says

    We own three, Buick Lasabre, love my car. rides nice get good gas mileage 30MPG. Chevy Impala, hubby’s car, we like impalas have had them for 10 years. great cars, good gas mileage, get pick up. Third car Pontiac Aztek, this car is a great sports vehicle. Four wheel drive car, not so great gas mileage. but good in bad weather.
    Worst one was a Chrysler New Yorker, it was a lemon. When it rain out side ,it rain inside the car. The dash board caught fire twice. and car would shut itself off while traveling on the highway. And, the man in the Dashboard also said ” Your Door is ajar!”lol We got rid of that car fast.

  11. Jenn(ifer) says

    I love my Mitsubishi Montero Sport. Its an 03 model. Its just getting a lot of mileage on it, and the a/c is NOT the best. The gas isn’t that bad however. I really do LOVE my truck, but with 3 boys…I’m needing a 3rd Row. I would like a Honda Pilot. My bff has one and its awesome

    I had a Nissan Maxima that was wonderful until one day without warning the stearing wheel locked up and left me stranded in the 100 degree heat with mybabies!

  12. sues2u2 says

    I drive an 04 Toyota Sienna minivan. I initially didn't want it but the gas mileage is great so Hubby wanted it. I LOVE it! We bought it new & it has been the best vehicle we've ever owned. Absolutely wonderful.

    My worst was the pass-around Ford that was making the rounds in England @ our base. That thing literally had to be put down cause it wouldn't die & yet it smelled. Quite badly.

  13. janetfaye says

    I know this will sound strange but I have never learned how to drive!

  14. Dee says

    I have a 2008 Ford Escape and I LOVE it!

  15. Jen E @ mommablogsalot says

    I drive a Toyota Corolla (o2) and my husband drives a Camry (93). The worst vehicle I’ve owned was probably an older Ford Probe – had leaking issues – yuck!

  16. Abby says

    I drive an 04 Nissan Altima. I like it, but I don’t love it. I feel like it has had more problems than it should. Not huge problems, but it’s still annoying. My least favorite vehicle was an 88 Plymoth Reliant. My favorite was a 92 Toyota Camry.

  17. Shari@aPsychMommy says

    I’ve got a 2003 Ford Focus–it’s alright–I got it in grad school because it was affordable. Now that I have a kid, I would love something bigger though

  18. TheAngelForever says

    My current car is a Chrysler Town & Country. This is only the second car I have owned/driven so nothing too bad to report. Loved my own Plymouth Neon while in college.

  19. Cathy says

    I drive a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country Minivan. I like it…it gets me where I need to go, and it is large enough for my family. My worst vehicle was a red Plymouth Horizon. It was so small and low to the ground. However, it did get really good gas mileage!

  20. Jinxy says

    I have a 2003 Honda Accord. I love it! It is exactly what I want in a car.
    The worst car I had didn’t start out that way. It was the car my Dad bought me in high school. A 1989 VW fox. It had no air conditioning and in CA that sucks. Then we moved to Montana and it went down hill from these. The car just started falling apart a piece at a time.

  21. Toni says

    I have a minivan and I love it though when the kids get out of carseats I want to return to a SUV. Worst car had to be my great grandfathers pontiac LOL. Yeah it was pretty bad

  22. ParentingPink says

    I now drive a Honda Odyssey, but it was a tough decision. I had to trade in my Lexus when I had my daughters for the minivan. Tough stuff! But, now I LOVE the van and couldn’t live without it!

  23. Jenny says

    I have a 2001 Toyota Camry and love it. I do wish it had a remote trunk release, but that is the only downside.

    I would love a Toyota Sienna, just to be able to fit my sister and her kids in the car to go places.

    The worst car my family ever had was a Chevy Lumina. That car was a lemon from day 1. I had to learn to drive in it and the steering liked to go out. Gee, nice! I think it only lasted a few years and a gasket blew or something.

  24. Jenna says

    I have a Hyundai Santa Fe and i love it. It’s just right size, decent gas mileage and drives nice. I would love to trade it in for the newest model because of the body change is nicer/better ,but I’m happy with what I got.
    My all time Worst car was a 95 Ford Contour! UGGGHHHH!!! That thing went through 3 fuel pumps!! 3!! O I hated that car!
    I kinda want a Nissan Armada but it’s kinda big.. and probably guzzles gas! But I like it!

  25. A.V.A says

    I drive an ’06 Nissan Pathfinder.

    The worst car I’ve ever had was my ’98 Sunfire.
