All but my dad's dad have passed, but I don't think any of them ever had cars. I think my grandpa had a scooter, though. (My grandparents lived in India.)

You?
That would be a Toyota T-100.

My grandparents have:

1995 Toyota T100 with 85,000 miles
2004 GMC Sierra with 32,000 miles
2010 Toyota Avalon with 22,000 miles

My grandparents were born in the 1880s & 1890s. My maternal grandfather died in the early 1950s before I was born. I assume he drove as he was a farmer. I don't believe my maternal grandmother ever drove. (Heck, my mother didn't get her license until she was 42 - we lived in town and she had a bunch of sisters who would drive her if needed. She only got her license when dad joined a car pool and he left our car at home a few days a week.)

I don't believe either of my paternal grandparents drove as they immigrated from Russia in the mid-1910s and lived in New York City and San Francisco. I used to visit them after they retired to the mountains around Felton, CA and grandpa & I would walk to the general store / post office.

^LOL, whoops, too many Ford varieties! My second Grandpa has a 2008 or 2009 Hyundai Accent, and a 1996 Chevy Suburban we owned before. BTW, our Grandma sold her 1999 GS300 with 160,000 miles to my brother for $2500 that he has now. She said she wanted it to "stay in the family" since it was so reliable for her. She went to The RX400H from there and she LOVES it!

Where did your Grandpa live/where is he from??? Never heard of a ZAZ, I know Dnepr is a Ukrainian motorcycle. Anyways those cars look distincively "Eastern Bloc".
