So I have a confession to make to everyone. I fought it for a while, but I eventually started admitting it to a few people. Now I am ready to admit it to the entire world, or at least to the 5 people that read this thing.
I drive a girl's car.
That's right. My car is a car that a girl should drive. It is a 2002 Jeep Liberty. This is the part of the story where all guys will say, "You know what he is right," and all the girls will say, "No, that is a cute car and I really want one." That is exactly my point. The Jeep Liberty is a "cute" car. I was drawn to it originally because it was a Jeep and I associate Jeep with "Man."
That association quickly went out the window. Driving around Columbia, I notice Liberties a lot more than I used to before I had it. (When I owned a Nissan Altima) The thing I have noticed about my car is that I am one of the few men driving it. Look at the next Jeep Liberty you see. Odds are there is either a college aged girl, or a middle aged woman driving it. There will also be her initials written in script on the back window.
Thinking about my girl car makes me wonder, what are some other girl cars? Here are some that I consider to be girl cars in no particular order. Please don't kill me men if you drive one of these cars.
1. Mazda Miata
2. Ford Mustang (not counting the original 60s versions)
3. Mini Cooper
4. Volkswagon Jetta
5. Ford Focus
6. Pontiac Vibe
7. Volkswagon Beetle (the new ones)
8. Chevy Tahoe or any other abnormally large SUV (this might seem like a reach but just look at who drives them)
9. Jeep Liberty
10. Toyota Rav4
So that is my list of girl cars. Guys, if you drive one of these cars and didn't realize it, then I'm sorry, but you needed to be told. Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone. Now I must leave and go downtown where girls will see my car and be jealous of my cute mode of transportation.

First, you know the miata has always been my dream car. Secondly, I currently drive a vibe. So you're right on those two being girls' cars. Though the vibe may be more fit to a "classics" or "collectables" category, since pontiacs are no more. You could add the altima onto the girl list, too, since yours was technically mine first. And if you have a "Berenstein Bears" category, go ahead and add my first car, the navy blue 1983 300SD TurboDeisel Mercedes. Good times.
