    Alright, here's mine:

    Dad's silver 2008 Hyundai Sonata SE, with the 4A, a beige-and-black cloth interior, the 2.4-liter L4, and rims from a 2009 Kia Optima. (It also has black door mirrors, replacement parts from when the original ones broke, and an alumni-themed rear license plate holder.)

    In 2006, Skoda tried building a van without really thinking of fleet buyers.

    With so few vans bought by fleets, it's unbelievable they failed.

    Hyundai - the official brand of people who don't really want to spend much on cars, because they don't care about them. For them, the Sonata is not a midsize car - it's an M-sized transportation unit, made to operate on a maximally limited budget.
    Volkswagen has always been building the "cool" vans, where you could get camping gear and six-cylinder engines and GPS and whatnot, but couldn't really do van work, because the chromes would get dirty.

    This one is no exception, which is why the owner does not do van work with it.
    Volkswagen Golf - the official car of not caring about cars.
    Volkswagen Golf - the official car of hearing "buy a Golf" when asking car buying questions.
    Volkswagen Golf - the official car of accidentally breaking the entire highway code.
    The Celebrity is an epithome of low-cost, practical family motoring. It's cheap to buy, cheap to fix, it has a bigger interior than other cars its price, and it's unkillable. Unfortunately, it's also as fun as an enema.

    You got closer than I thought you would with this.

    *Dad does care a great deal about his Sonata, so much so that he single-handedly fixed the driver's-side window motor out in the cold confines of our carport. Admittedly, he still hasn't changed the transmission fluid on it (the car's got around 130,000 miles on it, if not more), but other than he's kept up with maintenance the best he can with his maximally limited budget.
    *Dad also is a big car enthusiast who enjoys watching NASCAR, F1, and IndyCar races. He also knows a lot about cars, even more than I do. Admittedly, the Sonata has turned into more of a trashcan than a car, but we regularly clean it out when it gets too dirty.

    Will you even accept a Ssangyong Rodius Automatic :p It works and the Mercedes engine never fails, even though on a cold morning there is a bit of *crank crank crank crank shooom* and now the engine *bang bang bang bang bang bang* it isn't quiet but it is the kind of thing you get satisfaction out of starting :p It will always go just when :p

    Will try.

    Astra:
    The Astra seems to be like a Golf, but not as refined. Which means it gets drivers who care about driving like Golf drivers, but a bit less. And that's a horrifying level of uncaring.

    Corsa:
    Remember what I told you about Astra drivers? Well, the Corsa is a cheaper alternative, which means it gets even less caring drivers.
    Oh shit.

    L200:
    The car of men who recently felt a midlife crisis, and just realized that they can afford a midlife crisis by buying a pickup truck. They buy one, and then realize it's not what they thought it to be as kids, because it's got LEAF SPRINGS!

    '06 Golf:
    In typical Golf driver fashion, this one has transcended part of motoring needs. In this case, the need to have 4 hubcaps.

    325i:
    For the owner of this Bimmer, their car is not an Ultimate Driving Machine. It's an Ultimate Being Washed Machine. Or even better, Ultimate Never Parked Under A Tree So Birds Don't Shit On It Machine. Remember, it's not the car that matters - it's the washing sponge.

    '00 Golf:
    Sometimes, Golf drivers do care about cars. Unfortunately, their care ends where the Highway Code starts.

    i10:
    Meet Doris. Doris is 83 and her 1998 Fiesta failed its MOT, but needs a car to visit Shirley and Mary, her old friends. Fortunately, the Hyundai dealer offers a good discount, so she gets an i10. And not all dies with the old car - the beads she's had since the 1973 Marina are still there!

    Focus:
    Fords seem to have a curse, because there is no natural explanation for the sort of abuse these cars get.

    E-Class:
    Ryan just got a new company car. And he is going to be happy, he is going to be happy as fuck... until Harry gets a 2018 5-Series.

    207:
    Small Peugeots have always started as MILF-mobiles, then went to sexy secondary school girls who weren't your girlfriends, and ended in hands of lower-class louts. And the Peugeot family is happy to see the 207 follow its forefathers.

    Fiesta:
    Surprisingly, some Fords invert the curse and end up being cared for more than some Bugattis. And this specimen of a Fiesta shows this. It's going to be with its owner until it dies.

    Or the owner just can't afford a new car.

    Transit Connect:
    The life of a van is one of the biggest tragedies in the car world - because nobody cares about a van. Nobody cares about buying it. Nobody cares about driving it. Nobody cares about denting it. Nobody cares about scrapping it, or wrecking Fiestas in it in a banger race.

    Mondeo:
    Mondeos have always attracted the worst sort of owners. Apparently, these people think cars are conscious and can wash themselves. No real explanation for the phenomenon otherwise.

    Will do the rest later!
