What kind of vehicles do you have, and why do you have them?

Well, I brought this topic up to see what people have sitting next to there Hybrids, and if they have a reason to have them.

2005 Civic Hybrid with Auto. We bought this car because it was time to buy a new car. We were considering a Legacy GT, but gas prices, and economics dictated the Civic. Got the car for 200 under invoice, with 2.9%. The payment is reasonable, and I love the efficiency. I can't think of a better car to drive 1500 miles on average per month.
2002 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 2wd with 4.7 v8. This thing is a gas hog. My wife drives it every day to the local metro. It was originally bought to be a sort of minivan. We have 2 Labradors, and the dogs wouldn't be very welcome in the passenger compartment with our soon to be child. It is great for its purpose of towing, going to the Home Depot, and easy to get or almost 2 year old in and out of. My wife actaully prefers to drive the Civic to and from the Gym on the weekends now. Never thought I'd get her out of that truck.
2002 Kawasaki ZRX-1200R. My wife and I bought this before the kid, and used it every weekend. This was my main commuter, to and from work. I've gotten older and much less bold. If it isn't clear and over 50 degrees out in the morning, I'll be taking the car.
1998 Subaru Impreza Outback: The original family car for the dogs. It's got 110,000 on it, and I've put a bunch of aftermarket into it. It's ugly, but fast. Empty parking lots after a couple inches of snow, are a blast. We keep it as a spare, plus it has AWD. for those snow days.
1997 Accord EX. We don't really use this car any more, so it's up for sale. It was my wifes first brand new car, It's been sitting in our garage, and driven only on the weekends if we wereen't taking the dogs for the last couple of years. Its a great car, but the Civic is taking on the roll of family sedan, commuter and fun car.

Have a great T-giving!
