What kind of car do you drive?

[txteach]

I drive a 2001 Neon. My wife has a nicer car than I do, a 2007 town and country. She does most of the running around with my daughter so she needs a bigger car. I told my wife when I retire I'm buying a jaguar. She told me she doesn't think they sell exotic animals legally in the U.S.. Ya, it was funny at my expense but little does she realize that I was serious about the car.

[toys2cool]

Mine is my 95 Cobra :grin: and my wife drives an 05 Corolla which I practically drive since the gas is so darn expensive ;)

[Mikey]

1993 GMC 6-cylinder 2WD pick-up that's super rusted out and the brakes are going :)

Man, my ride is soooo cool :grin:

a 2006 pontiac torrent suv (a company car), my wife drives a 2004 honda crv which we both love, although we take my car more then hers. mike

[Merlyn1976]

85 Cavalier, 96 Cavalier, or 96 Jeep Cherokee....

[mitchedwards]

95 Isuzu Rodeo that burns oil and drinks gas. Hope to keep it another 10 years. Or trade it in for a Motorcycle.

[RussG]

a 93 Mercury Sable, a nice fun car nothing to look at, but then again that way I don't care if I get door dings in the parking lot :biggrin:


now my other ride is my 1971 Ford Torino 351c all original even the paint. I don't drive it too much it gets like 10 mpg. It's more than just a car ... it's a family member :)

[HardyGirl]

I don't have a car and haven't driven in close to 15 years. The only car I did drive was a 1980 VW Rabbit Custom (automatic).

[critter2]

Chevy Cobalt, I've had it about a year and no troubles yet.(knock on wood) I got it for the milage.

[Hector]

My daily driver is a 1989 Ford F-150 truck, I use that sucker for everything, commuting, workloads for house/yard improvements, camping, etc...and my weekend driver is my classic 1964 1/2 Mustang coupe, that's all about style and profile.

[DocDrako]

A minivan. Dorky? Yes. But the minivan is great considering all the stuff we need to haul when we take the baby anywhere. I've always liked vans. Not minivans in particular, but it works for us.

:grin:

[Lynn TXP 0369]

I drive a 1995 Ford F-150 extended cab 4 X 4 truck, the wife has a 1999 Dodge Caravan.

We want to get a Mustange some day, but that won't be until the kids get bigger and can possibly afford it.....

I just got my first new car in 10 years. '07 Honda CRV. Also have a 96 Accord.

[Hulk]

02 Toyota Solara coupe. Working on 5 years (a personal record) and not looking for anything else, another shocking development.

Should have just told her you want an expensive Ford. :googly:

[MegoMonk]

I have a "prairie tan" 1999 Ford Taurus, which I have had 6 years. Since I live in Brooklyn, NY the car is only driven about 5,000 miles a year. The odometer will reach 50k in a few weeks.
Otherwise I am a VE enthusiast. I had 2 Karmann Ghias and a 71 VW Fastback when I was young. When I eventually move to the suburbs, I will get another old VW. I look at them on EBAY all the time.

[The Toyroom]

2005 Hyundai Tucson

Hmmmm....

Still ride a bicycle. Cars are a ripoff. On duty I get a G-Wagon or a LAV-3.

[Steeler80]

2001 Ford Ranger XLT

For weekends: 1978 Trans Am (decals go on this Wednesday!!)

[MIB41]

My wife drives all of the newer model cars. She currently has a 2003 Pontiac GT Sunfire. Me? I proudly drive my black 1985 Mercury Capri complete with yellow/orange RS decals and strips. 302, 5 liter high output with a four barrell Holley. It purrs. :grin:

[Brue]

I put the most in town miles on my Schwinn Mesa GS Mountain Bike that I put road tires on and have a rack with bag and a trailer for toting my two daughters around town. Last year I also put about 1000 miles on my running shoes. The alternate mode of transport is a really exciting (it is hard to write sarcasm) 01 Hyundai Elantra. I need it for long trips mainly. My wife drives it more than I do. On the rare occasion we both need to drive I have a 99 Grand Marquis.

[luey]

1997 Toyota 4Runner for me, wife and Maggie drive a 2007 Toyota Sequoia, yeah I like it too :) and get to drive it on the weekends :)

[Meule]

'97 Peugeot 307

[VintageMike]

1994 Toyota Camry. Originally bought new by my parents and I bought it from them in 1999. Had it ever since. I love it and it's served me so well, I may end up just getting a similar model when it finally goes. I feel like this style camry ( I think the body was used from '93-'96) is "my" car and I see so many when I go out I don't feel like I'm driving an outdated car.
Hopefully though I can get at least another year out of it before I have to think about that.

[highquality]

Here's mine:

I call it The Batmitemobile.

Mine has cooler wheels and more chrome than the one in the photo.

[Megospidey]

I drive a 1992 Honda Accord EX 2 door coupe 5 speed with 190,000 miles on it. Does not burn oil and gets 33 mpg :grin:

My wife drives a 2006 Honda Odyssey so she can chauffer our 3 boys around.

[steelcouch]

I drive a 2003 mustang 6 cylinder for the gas and my wife drives a 96 chevy tahoe 4x4. Have a 69 mustang le grande that was put away after the gas went above $2. It was my daily driver. Just liked that vintage smell to it. Currently looking for another afordable on gas SUV but my wife is into spending and loves bigger cars.

[Bionic Joe]

until it finally died my daily drive was an 85 camaro z28 which i brought brand new in jan 86 as a left over with 337k miles the engine died i have plains to put a new engine in it as i can't imagine not haveing it so my new daily drive is an 85 corvette my former weekend driver i have had since 94

[Adam West]

I drive a 2003 Toyota Highlander. It gets ok gas mileage for an 4 wheel drive SUV (about 20 MPG average). Luckily, I work 10 miles from home so I only burn 5 gallons of gas during the workweek since I typically don't make side trips.

My wife had a '95 Toyota Previa that started to go down hill when it hit 160K miles. Leaking oil in multiple areas of the engine. Took it to a mechanic who said the entire engine would have to be lifted to fix all of the leaks at the low, low price of $1500 so we passed and just kept topping it off. We finally threw in the towel when the sliding door hinges apparently rusted and the entire door fell off when my wife tried to close it.

She now drives a pimped out 2006 Toyota Sienna. It was purchased used but only had 2,000 miles on it and I was able to get it for thousands less than a 2007 model.

[Earth 2 Chris]

99 Saturn SL2 is what I drive. Our "good" car is a 2002 PT Cruiser. I say "good" because I've had some major problems out of it, and have had zero out of the Saturn in the almost-9 years I've owned it. But the Cruiser is our "family" car when we go out together. My wife primarily drives it during the week.

She wanted a Cruiser, and it appealed to me because it reminded me of this:

I'm a bit of a Mopar nut!
Currently, I have a 71 Plymouth, 74 Dodge 1 ton, 92 Dodge Dakota, and an 03 Hemi Ram.

The 71 is in a constant stage of being redone. The 74 is from my days on the farm, has several hundred thousand miles on it, is built like a tank, and still going strong.
I just repainted my Dakota last summer, other than the paint peeling (common problem on domestics from the early nineties) she has 307,000 km's on the clock and still running strong.Best vehicle I've ever owned, and I hope to own her for as long as I'm on this side of the dirt!
I ordered the 03 from the factory, built the way I wanted, and unfortunately, havent had near enough time to really drive it yet! It's only got 23,000 km's so far.....hope to change that this summer!!

I'm also seriously trying to convince myself NOT to buy one of the new Challengers when they come out....An argument I seem to be losing.

[Wee67]

Here on the crowded, parking-space-free streets of Manhttan, I zip around on a '02 Vespa ET4. It only does about 55mph, but it gets great gas mileage and there's always a place to park.

[MegoMike]

98 Nissan Pathfinder & 93 Kawasaki Vulcan.

The truck has been great to me. I've had it for almost 7 years and never had any serious problem with it. It's tempting to get something new, but I'm enjoying not having a car payment. After paying $400 a month for 5 years, I'm not in a big hurry.

You have a Cuda????

Oh man, that would be friggin' AWESOME!!!

...and yeah, those new Challengers look wicked, a true throwback to the original 70s muscle car:

Nope, sorry (I'm consoling myself here) no Cuda'. Its a 71 Scamp, same car as the Dodge Swinger, just in Plymouth clothing. Nice enough car, but a bit more than a stones throw short of a Cuda. (and not nearly in as good of shape as your Mustang either!):)

[saildog]

I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima with 185,000 miles that still gets 27 MPG. It's long paid for and still has a lot of "uummphhh" when needed.

Except for being down the last ten days waiting for a part (that evidently was only on the 1995 model) and needing a new alternator (ouch), it has been dependable beyond belief. I'm kind of spoiled by the dependability of this car...it's only been "change the oil and put on new tires", until now. First time it has EVER been in the shop and I can't wait to get it back.

[JDeRouen]

We have a greenish 2005 Kia Sedona minivan for trips, and a red 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser for in town driving. I love the PT Cruiser!

The Scamp is cool too, I always loved the "boxy" look, that's why I bought a 64 1/2, it's not curvey at all, just like your Scamp:
