Do You Drive One of Indiana's Most-Bought Vehicles?

Over the years, I've had a couple of different rides. My first car was a rusty green Chevy Cavalier, which I'm still surprised made it to as many miles as it did before blowing a head gasket. After that, I had a Pontic Grand Am for a couple of years, which I loved, followed by a Ford Fusion, a Dodge Journey, and a few trucks here and there. It's safe to say I had a good taste of what each big auto manufacturer has to offer.

Currently, I drive a Ram 1500. It's a great truck, and there seem to be quite a few of them on the road here in Evansville, along with the rest of Indiana. Of course, that's not the only truck on the road, and I've recently been curious as to what vehicles Indiana drivers prefer the most. Luckily, Indy Auto Man has put together such a list, and I'll be honest, I was surprised to see what rides made the cut and which ones didn't. Let's take a look.

It's important to note that, according to Indy Auto Man, pickup trucks have always dominated the U.S. car market. Personally, I was really surprised that the Toyota Tacoma didn't make it on the list, as I feel like I see a lot of those on the roads. Additionally, I was surprised the Ram 1500 and even the Ford Fusion didn't make it on this list. I see quite a few of those on the highways as well. What vehicle do you think should have made the list?

Outside the major cities, the Hoosier state is full of tiny little towns you've probably passed through on your way to one of those cities. Most of them are likely 100 to 150 years old, or older, and have been around far longer than the large metropolitan areas such as Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Evansville. Typically, they were started by early settlers who found their way to the state and decided to make it home. Eventually, others would join them, and a community was formed. Over time, as the surrounding areas grew, most of them were folded into those areas and governed by the nearest city or county's governing body officially making them "unincorporated," meaning they did not have their own formally organized municipal government.

A scroll through Wikipedia's long list of unincorporated communities in Indiana shows several of them have names that by today's standards would be considered weird, quirky, or just downright right funny. These are my 40 favorities.
