I think this is a pretty good idea, MadCow! The car I drive is in my profile (it's the LE trim if you're curious), however it's owned by parents, not me. I intend to buy a car of my own this fall though, so I'll keep you guys posted.

We should do a list for everyone who doesn't have a car too, just because I want to point an laugh.

The model number for the 190E is W201, and the Swift is a 1.3 GL Automatic. Good idea by the way, although the Post Your Car forum is a better place for it imho, stickied of course.
