My Car

[Carowinds 73-03]

What kind of car do you drive? If you don't drive vote for what make you plan on getting or would like to have.

[Skye]

i don't think many will have a porsche.

I don't really prefer a make more individual cars. theres no point in listing my car make because you won't have heard of it (it's French), they don't export to the USA.

[Wes]

I have a VW Beetle (99)

EDIT:

Well since we're putting car histories, here's mine:

63 Ford Falcon (1st car, cost me $200) lol
91 Ford Escort GT

Also drove my dad's 67 Plymouth Satellite for a while.

[Cid]

i'll list my entire history of cars.
88 plymouth horizon a.k.a. the event horizon
74 mercury montego mx, probably my favorite. thing was a boat, just a smidgin longer than a fullsize suburbun
97 toyota tacoma, my current car, i'm ready for a wrx though which hopefully will be my next car

hey skye i'm curious, list your car list your car! is it one of those cool little european hatchbacks?

[Skye]

Yes!!!! But very un-american (it's tiny). But french cars are popular with young people because although the build quality is merely good they are cheap to fix and insure and have good a chassis (good fun to drive and fairly comfortable).

Actually the GTI's are conisdered classics like this 86-94 205 GTI:

http://www.sportsvogn.no/images/2002...02/205-gti.jpg

It's a standard 205 hatch with a 1.9 litre (fast in those days remember) some body kit and alloys and suspension mods. This is actually a modern classic and good ones fetch £2500+ still. It only wiehgs about 850kg remember also.

The replacement is a bit dull though: (206 GTI 98-present)

Still i would buy one if i could insure it (they have 180BHP now).


Anyway i got the smaller (and it can only really carry people under 4ft tall in the back for any distance) 106 a bit like this but without some of the side body kit.

I drive a 2000 Ford Mustang Convertible (Not a GT). When I go to college, I want to get a motorcycle if I cant take my Mustang.

I just have to ask this...is it red?

[Coastr Crazy 72]

You should have the Mods edit this so you can vote for more then 1. I realize you can only drive 1 car at a time but some people drive more then 1 like I will be doing.

I will be driving a BMW X5 for the most part and if my dad is fealing nice he will let me drive his Benz S500.

[Carowinds 73-03]

I forgot myself. I have a 2003 Ford Focus. Before that was my first car ever. It was a 2000 focus.

[coasetrphil]

I will be driving a bronze colored 99' Ford Taurus SE when I get my licence late this year.

[jimmycoasterman]

I will be driving a bronze colored 99' Ford Taurus SE when I get my licsence late this year.

Bimmer has his license. coasterphil is getting his license later this year. Damn, I'm sure glad I don't live in Marietta. Oh shi

[BimmerZ3]

I drive a 99 Honda Accord 2 door with a 5 speed manual transmission.

[coasetrphil]

Bimmer's car is infinitely cooler than mine, according to him. My will just get me from place to place.


*Edit* This is what my "crappy" car looks like.

[birdie311]

I drive a '92 BMW 325i. Here's a pic of it after a nice little snow. That explains why it's dirty as hell. Plus I'm lazy and don't feel like washing it during the winter.

Mods, I have permission to use this photo off that site.

[edh101985]

I just have to ask this...is it red?

Its Silver

BTW, we do have a red 1968 Shelby GT-500. It will hopefully be mine if I can ever pry the keys out of my dads hands........ http://www.theguildofautomotiveresto...lby_gt500.html

[Cedarpoint_Mark]

I drive an '03 Saturn Ion3. I seem to remember this a repeat, but couldn't find anything recently...

I started on an '85 Ford Escort, '91 Pontiac Transport mini-van, '96 Saturn SL1, drive once a '97 Saturn SL2, and currently my '03 Saturn Ion.

[leeloo1953]

Well, here's my car history...

68 Toyota Corona
69 Ford Mustang
73 Plymouth Duster
76 Mercury Capri
83 Toyota Celica Supra
91 Chevy Station Wagon
99 Dodge Grand Caravan SE

Someday, I will have another 60's Mustang!!

[Kyle L]

I have a Foes

Actually I'll be getting a Toyota Tundra or Tacoma sometime soon.

[edh101985]

Whoa....... its weird that I edited my post about my dads old mustang almost exactly the same time Leeloo posted about having a Mustang 1 year apart. What color was it? And was it a convertable?

BTW, I finally found a car that made my jaw drop. http://nationalvehicles.com/viewlist...sting_id=21005

I think it is $900,000.

[leeloo1953]

^It was black and yes it was a convertable, Mustang convertables are the best!

/me plans on getting a Porsche.

Reminds me of the Pagoni Zonda, except much more faster. That is one hell of a car though.

[Cid]

yes! i found a picture of my "boat" say hello to my 1974 mercury montego mx. 351 cleveland v8, bout 250 some odd horsepower, just over 4000lbs, and about 20ft long. also the first picture of yours truly on TN.

you can also see my tacoma two cars down

i miss my boat

and i'm about 5'11, i could also lay on the width of the hood without hanging off either side haha

[LoCoSuMo]

I drive a Black 97 Ford Taurus. It's basically CoasterPhil's with a different looking back end. It's sorta crappy, I have an exhaust leak and my dad has yet to fix it, and it has over 100,000 on it, but it gets me places and still runs pretty well.

[Knoxville]

I drive a 1987 Chevy K-5 Blazer.



The thing I like most about my truck is that you'll always know its me because nobody else's looks the same.

[Skeeber]

My car two years ago: http://www.pbase.com/image/9990128

Bone stock (besides K&N filter) '95 Ford Contour. 2.5L V6 180hp. Nothing spectacular, but it runs, and gets me where I need to go, and it's the first car I've owned myself.

[Drewbie]

I'm quite dissapointed that Toyota didn't make it onto your list.

Anyways, my first car was an '88 Olds Cutlass Supreme. I drove that til it died, bless it's heart. I then got my new "er" car. I'm now driving a '95 Toyota Avalon and it'd be hard to go back to anything less. My car's got 210,000 and going strong. I hoping to buy something newer towards the end of summer.

[Aaron]

Although I don't drive yet, I would want to get any kind of hybrid Japanese car, like a Toyota Prius. I have a friend who has one, she says she hasn't had any maintenance problems with it, they run great, plus, of course, it gets excellent fuel economy. It is Toyota that makes the Prius, right?

[Tim]

Seeing how you left off EVERY Japanese car manufacturer, I have added the big 4 to the list.

[Cid]

yup, the 2004 is even more efficient than the 2002 hybrid they had out. not only that but its quicker too. i recently read an article on it. i'm very impressed with the technology put into the car, but they seem like so much extra work.
