What do your buddies drive?
I figured we've all seen each others cars, what about the cars our friends drive... Try and keep it to 3 closest friends, just so the thread isn't too over loaded with pictures. Post pictures because Pictures>Words, even if they are just Google images like I'm using...
#1. Drives an 02 Jetta 2.0, slow but somewhat reliable.
#2. 2001 Mercury Cougar 4 cyl. Done up nicely, I wouldn't drive one though.
#3. 2000 Plymouth Voyager. The virgin of the group
No real "positives" to this thing other than it drives.
Lets see em'

#1. Buddy drives a Dodge Stratus... I think its a 98 or 99 model and it is totally falling apart. POS makes all kinds of scary noises and vibrates like mad.
#2. Another friend drives his parents Pontiac Sunfire. I believe its a 2005. Has the most uncomfortable seats ever!!
#3. 2004 Toyota Camry XLE V6. Nice smooth engine but car drives like a buick. I always tell him its an old mans car and he gets so offended.
#4 Finally a car worth posting. 2002 Honda S2000 black/black.
That him at autoX with me riding shotgun.
Finally just for kicks my own ride...
2007 Honda Civic Si, Taffeta White
I was too lazy to upload pics of my own so I just found a random shot online.

Best friend drives a white S40 1.8T AT. My coworker thought it was my car, so when she saw me getting something from it, she said, "aww, I like your car, it's cute." 
He is looking at 05+ Mustangs though last time I asked.
Other friend drives a white AT SC300... she hasn't mastered stick yet
Just like below, except an Integra LS sedan, with a B20 swap IIRC.

This friend has car worth posting pictures of, I was too tired to get all this together last night
Spice Cosworth circa 92, he may or may no have sold this
Nissan R88C, this is his GTP of choice
He's got 4 of these, various years from early to mid 80's, two are set up for the track, the other two for the street
He's got two of these, but I believe one is for sale, his are former Corona cars, so this is not his but they all look more or less the same, they are late 90's indy lights cars, these are my favorites, the have modified 3.8l T motors from grand nationals
Radical SR4, he's set a bunch of records in one of these but he hates it, go figure
Daily driver/people hauler
He has two of these, ones the wifes car the other is his transportation in France
Something like this for traveling around to tracks
I don't think I missed anything in his current stable, but he tends to swap cars pretty frequently.

Guy friends:
1) 1969 MGB GT (coupe) ... weekend toy with 2005 Silverado 2500 (beater)
2) 2006 Accord coupe V6 (auto ... so the wife can drive it )
3) 2003 CL-S 6MT
Female friends:
4) 2004 TSX
5) 2002 Acura 1.6 EL 5MT (aka Civic with leather seats)
6) 2002 RSX base
Seems I have a very strong Honda influence on my friends when they were shopping for cars.
