Your Chevy is called the Matiz over here. I once drove one and when I arrived at my destination the complete gear stick broke off :D I was glad I had just parked it :)

Yep, previous models were Daewoo Matiz, and Matiz II

When GM bought Daewoo they rename Matiz to Spark.

Though no one I know has any serious issues w/them. My brother had Matiz II and no problems what so ever.

Mine has 50.000km and all I did was oil change... So I'm rather sathisfied. Two small kids, and wife and me make with that one where ever we want. Not to mention Serbia size, so for US, Canada, Russia or some other countries standards it can easily be mistaken for backyard...  :D :D

You might have guessed this form my avatar even if you never saw me posting pictures of it before, but here's my usual ride:



And, since my wife doesn't drive much I can be seen almost as often in this:



Ash- what year is your Sunfire?  We finally gave up our 2000 Sinfire (red one) last year when we bought the Golf.  My wife bought it new before we were married and while it was a nice enough car I was never that fond of it overall.

Just for the fun of it, here's another shot of my Jeep... :D

It's an 2002. I had a 2006 and my roomy totaled it so I decided to not buy brand new and have a payment again so I got this one.

Ok, so here is what I have.  All stock photos because I couldn't find any of the pictures that I've taken of them here with me at work. 

2005 Saturn Vue - Manual transmission which was really needed because of the 2.2 eco drive engine.  This is my daily driver.

1999 Honda CR-V AWD - recently purchased for my son who is now driving age but my wife is really starting to take to it.

2001 Chevy Silverado 1500HD Crew Cab (2WD) except ours is Charcoal grey and has a camper shell.  This is the one my wife is most likely to use as a daily driver because she likes the idea that she can run over smaller vehicles and haul all her stuff with her everywhere she goes.  It does come in handy.

Currently, we have one more (1992 Chevy Lumina Euro) but I'm probably going to sell it to a salvage yard or donate it to an animal shelter.   I prefer the latter, but unfortunately times are really tight and I need some cash for Christmas.

I'm not even going to disgrace myself by showing pics of my old wore out rattle traps.  I'll just say it's a 1991 Plymouth acclaim and 1978 dodge truck with a old slant 6.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

Fiat 600 to be exact.That brings back memories. I and a few friends played with its cousin Fićo, cut of the roof to make it a cabrio and drove it cross country. The problem was that lack of a roof caused structural instability so one person had to sit in the back and hold the whole thing together.  :ahhh We were 14-15 years back then.

 There's a Fiat 600 that makes the cruise night rounds around here in the summer. At 6'1", I couldn't even begin to IMAGINE fitting in that sucker.

I owned one Fića (Yugoslavian model of Fiat 500) when I was in college... Now don't make me explain what I have done with it and in it...

And I was 6,07 feet and 220,5 lbs....

Just got this last month and have been putting it back to the specs as it was in 2004. It's a 2004  JeepWrangler TJ - Willys Edition ( 1000 were manufactured by Jeep in 2004 ). 72,000 miles, 4.0L inline 6. The tube side steps were installed by the previous owner and are not factory original, I think they look OK so I left them on. In 1984 I picked up the sales brochure for this Willys model at a Jeep dealer and still have it, finally I was able to get one ! Great running condition, I replaced a rear axel which was bent, changed out the tires and put new " glass " in the doors ( rear side panels are tinted, not dirty  :o). It's a lot of fun to drive, and people take a good hard look at it when I go by. Over the years I have had 5 Wranglers, first one was a 1969 in Boston.  Any other Jeep owners out there, show us you ride.








I still have my 2007 Avalanche - 40,000 miles.

Nice to see some pictures of the new ride Andy- what a beauty!  Everyone knows my yellow Jeep, but one thing a lot of people don't notice in the photos is the decal in the windshield:



I'll bet yours does a better job of hiding than mine does though!



Good to see the Avalanche too- Is that an old picture or is it still that shiny?

Looks the same - people can't believe it's 5 1/2 years old.

Hope all is well with you, warm here - no SNOW.

We've had two good snowstorms this year but the snow from both only lasted a few days before rain washed them away.

My Jeep looks a little odd at the moment as I put snow tires with black steel rims on it, and I'm used to the alloy rims.  Currently my Jeep has more footwear than I do- I have two complete sets (5 wheels) of alloy rims and tires and one regular set (4 wheels) of snow tires on steel rims, making 14 tires in all!

I'm going to put some decent offroad or mud tires on my 5 spokes since the all seasons on them are bald, and I have some nice city tires (Micheline MTS-LX) on my machine faced rims.

I've jumped up to a 30" tire which fits nicely under the stock suspension.  31" also fits but rubs a little in a tight turn, which is no big deal, but I'd rather have the radius than the miniscule increase in height.

Last year I also invested in a hard top for winter.  My poor custom rag top is starting to wear out and this upcoming summer will probably be the last year for it.

I need to get new tires for the rear axle on my truck.  The ones on the front are brand new.  When I bought the truck the Driver side was new and the passenger was worn, meaning the previous owner was a nincompoop because he didn't keep like tires on the same axle.  I have never seen a vehicle with mismatched tires on front and back.  I probably have another year on my rear tires and then I will be forced to get new ones.  I am hoping to get the wifey to spring for a complete set of BF goodrich T/A's so I can have the good front tires as spares. 

Love the jeep Def, I would own one if I didn't have kids, but I need the space my truck offers.  With my quad steer I get a pretty tight turning radius but it still ain't a jeep.  It is, however, a 4wd monster with a V8!  I just installed a brush guard on it and finished my nameplate swap.  I removed all the 05 Chevy nameplates except the quad steer badge, and replaced them with 2010 chrome Chevy S-I-L-V-E-R-A-D-O lettering on the doors and tailgate along with an L-T nameplate to match on the tailgate.  (it is an LT, no posing here).  I lucked out on the emblems, I work in a body shop and we had a rash of newer silverados lately so I was able to salvage the emblems off the wrecked doors.  I had to reassemble them though, and that took hours to make them straight.  Saved me about $100 though, well worth it.  I would never have paid for emblems, I would have gone without. 

Next project for me is gonna be to remove my Nerf bars but that has to wait until my wife delivers, she can't get in the truck without them right now.  I have to buy hardware anyway, the bars mount directly to the cab mounts and the bolts are too long to go into the captive nuts without the nerf bar brackets they hold. 

I plan to add a toolbox to the bed sometime next year.
