I've "had" two cars - technically, my parents owned them, but I was the one who drove them the most.
1. Early first-generation (2001?) Ford Focus ZTW (wagon)
This was originally a courier car from where my mom works (and where I do, currently), where it was used to carry medical samples from collection sites/hospitals to the main laboratory for testing. As you can imagine, it had quite a few miles on it when we got it, but it drove just fine. The first couple times I drove it, it felt a bit finicky; it always seemed to go 5 miles faster or slower than you wanted it to, but eventually, that went away as I got better at driving. It was pretty basic - it was an automatic, and I forget if it even had power windows - but it worked, and it was able to carry my keyboard when I played for church.
It got in two accidents I can really remember. The first was in the winter; we live in a subdivision that's a little out of the way, and the only way to get to the house is up a short hill from a nearby main road. As was customary, the road iced up with the first snow, we slid off the road, and a protruding rock on the shoulder jammed through the radiator. At least I wasn't driving. The second time, I was gone somewhere - I think I had spent the night at someone's house or something - and when I got back home, Mom told me that someone had rear-ended it when she was driving it. Nobody was hurt, but that was the end of that.
2. The EX Rally DX Mk. Alpha Omicron Delta Prime Turbo GT, AKA the greatest 1992 Mazda Protege ever built.
This is my current driver; it's a white 4-door with an automatic. The muffler has corrosion holes in it, it drinks oil at an incredible rate, the radiator leaks coolant, the power locks don't work, and people look at me funny when I talk about how great it is, but it really is a blast to drive (or at least it feels that way); with a bit of luck, it'll probably hit 200K miles. Plus, even though it's almost as old as I am, it's still getting 28-30 MPG. Sweet.

If I could pick any car I wanted, I'd probably go with the
Fisker Karma, a top-end plug-in hybrid because just look at that thing, it's gorgeous. Being able to drive it without having to use any gas is just the icing on the cake. Realistically, though, my next car would probably be pretty similar to what I've got now: an older sedan that gets pretty good mileage, can be bought cheaply, and can carry whatever/whoever I need.
We are loved even though we suck.
