As the title states, I've been on this site for more than 52 weeks.
All of that was started by my reading of Cupcakes. When I started I admit that I really didn't know much about the fandom, only really knowing that I liked reading it. Kinda shows since I have 521 Read Laters and 5655 Favorites (I'm still catching-up!).

I recently learned that the person I was letting drive my 2011 Chevrolet Aveo has crashed it.
It has been declared totaled by the insurance company, and the insurance company will "give" me $13K to buy a new vehicle or something.
No-one involved was injured.

I want to replace the vehicle and happen to be open to ideas as to the vehicle I ought purchase, no motorcycles unfortunately.
So...I'm open to suggestions.

Out of curiosity I can't help but wonder what vehicles people own/drive on this site.

So, a question to all those who wish to answer:
What vehicles to you own or drive, please include secondary or tertiary vehicles if you own/drive that many.

As it only seems fair my vehicles are as follow:

Primary/Secondary (Dependent on reason for driving) This is also most detailed ('cause I love it)

Make: Урал (Ural)
Model: 4320
Year: 1970?
Fuel: Muti-Fuel, Diesel

This is probably the luckiest member of the military I have seen on YouTube. In regards to being shot at, not explosive near-death.
Also if you were to open the description on YouTube you would find out that he did not drop his rifle, although he really should have had it on a 2-point sling regardless.
(Hint: look around his feet for random dust blooms)

Random seems to happen around these parts...
Also, I have a ~3/4 of a beard - I may have not mentioned that. We are allowed beards when deployed because it shows that we are showing respect and stuff for the Afghan culture.
