Cars and you...

[AfricanSwallow]

This is my F-150. It runs on an underpowered V6 to save on fuel.
Still, it's large and somewhat difficult to maneuver, so I've named it "Leviathan".

Don't worry too much about the V6. You're probably better off.

I drove an F-150 as my work ride for a couple of years. It's an interesting feeling when the gas light is on, you put 15 bucks in, and the gas light still doesn't go off.

I never forgot my gas card again.


..... Also, that Lotus looks like the prop car from Demolition Man.

I drive a mahogany 98 Ford Windstar. Yes. It's a minivan. My family calls it the HOJ: hunk 'o junk. But it runs, and that's good enough for me right now.

I am proud to be the owner of a 240SX with an S13 conversion. I love cars!

I need to book my driving test soon, my instructor thinks I'm ready.

I have my sights set on a nice silver Peugeot 206. I love hatchbacks. I also love BMWs but I'm trying to be realistic...

I hear new ads for cars touting their "great" gas mileage roughly equivalent to what I get with my car, never had to do anything except routine maintenance, it takes about five miles to get up to speed on the freeway but that's just a minor annoyance.

My sister used to have a 67 Mustang fastback, that thing was fun to drive but put one in serious risk of getting a speeding ticket.

She also has a Mazda MPV which handles just like my Civic (for instance, you can easily fit it into the tiny parking spaces they give you in southern California) except it has enough of an engine to actually accelerate and you can fold its seats down to the point it's almost like having a truck to haul stuff. I don't think one of those would be bad for a next car.

I drive this at the moment.

Citroen C4 VTS180 kicking out just short of 200hp. Although have a large mod list for it at the moment which I have only just started on. Wheels and minor engine mods came first. Next up is brakes and suspension. And then a lot of track days.

I drive around in my pink 1997 Skoda Felicia estate.

No one tries to steal it
You can fix anything on it with household tools
Utterly bulletproof
Can take 2 riders + bikes + gear + food + tents and still get up hills (scratch that, still gets up the Alps).
60+ mpg from it's little petrol motor
Comfy

It's (nearly) perfect
Aside from a van I can't think of anything that would suit me better, although a colour other than pink would have been nice.

I put my trainers on and grabbed my hammer to rush out and "borrow" your car when I read it again and realised it was pink....so I guess it's safe for now.

Seriously mate, you've pretty much sold me on it already and I'm not even driving quite yet. Sounds an ideal little car. I assume the tax and insurance are pretty reasonable? (Reasonable as far as England goes I mean)

2003 blue Ford Explorer
I like it, it gets decent mileage, goes through just about anything, I really can't find anything that I really don't like about it.

In an ideal world I'd be driving an old Wagoneer, I don't know why, but I really like their style. Either that or a tank.

You've caught me at just the right time. I'm actually planning an article called "Probing The Inaccuracies: The Automobile".

So, I'm currently driving a 1997 Volkswagen Golf Mk3 with a 1.4L I4 engine. It only produces 60bhp, but that's enough for now - I'm only 20.

One of my realistic choices for a car in the future is the TVR Cerbera, the one with the 4.2L V8. The cost is right, the performance is magnificent and it looks the part as well. OK, it's strangely laid out, but that means that nobody's ever going to steal it, because they won't be able to find the starter button, and even if they did, they'd end up smacking into a tree and killing themselves. TVRs are designed to throw insufficiently talented drivers into the Armco and eat small children.

Ha, it was only a matter of time before a post like this.

20 years old, but "realistically" going to jump from a car that costs $3000 US to an out of production collector sports car that goes for $90 000 US or more at DuPont auctions.
Hope you have that cheque book ready, you'll also need to provide full payment - you can't finance auctioned vehicles.

I look forward to when you begin to experience real life sometime in the near future.

Something I like to call the mercury mistake, its actually a mystic but it has a few things wrong with it but I don't got the money (Or my dads garage anymore) to fix it, but its dependable in all weather and most things,

89 accord. 5 speed. Purple interior. Slowly dieing.

Its still my favorite car ever.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Well, I should probably go ahead and get my learner's permit if I'm ever going to learn how to drive.. *sigh* Lets go fail some tests!

 

[Inverse Skies]

I drive a Kia Mentor... it does the job while being pretty rubbish. I'm not that much into cars really...
