What do you drive?

[teqrevisited]

Almost got my license. The car I drive on lessons & my test car is a Clio. Before I get my own I'll have a choice of borrowing either a Mazda MX5 or a Ford Cougar.

I nearly managed to get an old Austin Mini in British Racing Green for £250. But the owner had left it sitting too long and it would've cost far too much to bring up to standard.

A 2009 Pt Cruiser. Fuck I love my car

HOLY SHIT! I always said that I'd never meet a person that actually likes PT Cruisers. I now have!

Holy shit!

May I ask, without being too rude, why?

I never understood why anyone would buy them, when ever I see one on the road I wonder if it was a prize or what have you.

What about it appeals to you?

Well, first of all: My mother owns two cars, including the said PT Cruiser, and she ALWAYS let's me drive the PT Cruiser (As long as I put gas into it, but considering that I pay that gas with the money she and my father give me it's not really a problem.)

I also love how it drives, I don't have a huge frame of reference (Haven't driven many cars) but everything is REALLY smooth, the lightning system inside the car is awesome, the gas millage isn't anywhere near bad. And basically it's my car (Even if it isn't). So I really love it, who knows, maybe if I start driving more cars I'll start to not like it so much.

Basically I'm just hugely biased! Sorry if this wasn't the kind of answer you were expecting, haha.

I drive a 1.4 Vauxhall Corsa from 1998. It's my first car, so nothing flashy.

I would love to drive a TVR Tuscan. Beautiful motors!

I don't drive these days. I had to sell my car to move overseas a few years ago (it would have cost more to ship over than the car was worth, for one thing), and I now live in London, where there's enough public transportation to get me pretty much anywhere I'm going.

Back in the day, though, I drove a Saturn SL1. I still miss that car, especially when I'm coming back from Sainsbury's or something with a load of groceries on the bus.

Four wheels = a 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8. I might get a 2012 depending on what Dodge does to them and how much they cost. I have nothing but love for my car and can't imagine driving anything else.

Two wheels = A 2009 Suzuki Boulevard C50. Bit a of cheap cruiser but it looks great and I wasn't about to drop 10+ grand on a Harley since it's my first bike.

Just got rid of my truck last month - was a 2005 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. Got a brand new 2010 Toyota Corolla S. Fun little car. This I think is the 15th vehicle I have owned.

Looking at getting an old 1978 Bronco this weekend to have a truck around. But the new car is my daily driver to and from work.

Wife owns a 2003 Toyota Corolla that only has like 30k miles on it.

1996 Pontiac Bonneville SE. Not the prettiest car in the world, but she gets me from point A to point B without burning too much gas.

I drive these:

Every day

For fun

[Randomologist]

2006 Renault Megane.

Spoiler: And because everyone else is drooling over what car they want...

Not sure why? Smack yourself around the face and look at it again. Look.

Then again I can drive the Argo just about anywhere, even across water and on top of 20 feet of snow (yeah I did that), and I don't really find that thing fun to drive - most of the time.

Awwww. Why is it not fun?

Mostly because you can literally get out and walk as fast as the thing can drive up a hill. Still need it since walking through snow carrying 600lbs of equipment and fuel is a little difficult.

It's a beast. Slow and nearly unstoppable, with a capacity of 1000lbs. I did manage to get stuck once, slid off a hill and even dumping everything out of it I couldn't get it back up to the road. I really want a winch for that thing.

It's a bit better since I got an enclosed cab for it.

 

[Solstar100]

I've got a '86 VW Scirocco as my every-day car and a '96 Toyota Mr2 for weekend blasts

I drive a older model civic that i think is a truck.

It has been serving in the place of a Company F-350 duely for the better part of a year and people havent seemed to really notice a difference in performance.
If i were to buy a new car today i would probably go with a Suzuki SX-4 hatchback with all the fancy features, but i have no idea what i would buy if i could have anything. Probably a 2006 M3, but i would keep the civic for mundane things.
after all a little BMW is not a truck.

 

[PseudoDuck]

First car was a 2004 Toyota Yaris. Current car is a 2008 Seat Leon.

On a lease contract, which I'm probably going to pay off at the end so I own the car. Even if it takes a hefty chunk out of my savings it'll be worth not having the outgoings every month.

 

[Amberella]

I drive a 1998 Pontiac Grand Am. :3 It's super good on gas.
Oh, and it's white.

I have no problem with kids getting cars from their parents. I have a problem with kids being ungrateful for those cars and wishing their parents would buy them a different one. My first car was a '97 Dodge Intrepid that broke down constantly starting the first month I got it. I didn't like it but i never told them i wanted something better from them. Instead I got a job and started saving so I could buy my truck.
That sound mighty familiar to me... Kinda... Hmmm...

I can see hating the '97 Intrepid. From my understanding, once they start breaking down, they KEEP breaking down until you replace virtually everything. My '95 came with the best engine for that particular line (Fastest I've taken that car is 117. It was still climbing, but I had to slow it down when I saw a Stater was a mile ahead of me). All '95 Intrepids have one fatal flaw: The transmission WILL DIE. I had to replace mine the third year I owned it; but up until that time, I never repaired or replaced ANYTHING on it, so I didn't really care. Up to date, the car has cost me (roughly) six thousand in repair bills, but I've owned it for nearly six years now, I drive it nearly every day up to nine times a day, and in turn I take very good care of it because I KNOW its an older car.

Still going to get a pickup down the road though.

Bicycle.. yeaaah, I know what you're thinking.

People insane, obviously.
