Your cars
 
What car do you guys drive (only those who are allowed to drive of course :D )?
Mine looks like this one:
http://www.delta4x4.com.ua/tuning3/G...%20MS%2015.jpg
It's a 1998 Volkswagen IV.
I used to have another car (a 1997 Peugeot 106) which looked like this:

It was my first car but it got crashed in an accident. :cry:

Voltron 03-20-2004 12:12 PM

My car is a 94 Corsica. It leaks anti-freeze, has no: windhsield wipers, defrosters, or turn signals. The front to tires are bald and the driver's side door wont open from the outside.

2003 Kia Spectra. It's my baby. http://img33.photobucket.com/albums/v98/Ink20/tlol.gif

2000 Pontiac Sunfire. Needs new brakes, right front shocks and tranny fluid :goofygri:

愛 03-20-2004 12:38 PM

A Red 1990 Toyota Celica GT. It has rims and a fairly good sound system. I like to blast my J-Pop :D

Barkworm 03-20-2004 02:00 PM

@Voltron & Taloniss: Don't you guys have to bring your car to a security inspection in the US? I have to get my car checked every second year, otherwise I'm not allowed to drive it.

Taloniss 03-20-2004 02:16 PM

I live in Canada, I only have to get emissions testing done once every two years. I plan on fixing the stuff, whenever I can get the parts I need.

Barkworm 03-20-2004 02:25 PM

But isn't that too... dangerous?

98' ford explorer. I love her. :)

Billy the Kid 03-20-2004 04:27 PM

Midnight Gray 2002 Huyndai Elantra. Overall nice car but I could do without the power windows and the windshield wipers are weird.

MW8979 03-20-2004 06:53 PM

My cars are all lavishly displayed in my sig pic. Yep....all 8 of them.

Wow really? Thats nice, must be expensive right?

Buslady 03-20-2004 08:38 PM

I like the front end on the VW...different from the USA spec models. I'm a big VW fan, I used to have the Vanagons(Caravelles) and 2nd generation type 2s.

I have a Saturn Vue....first year model, 2002. Black silver, loaded. sun roof & everything. "Skyvue" had everything I was looking for when I traded in my first Saturn a '99 SL. He hasn't moved in a few days, so the brake disk is gotta nice thin layer of rust! That green thing on the dash is a sea turtle plushie and the yellow decal on the back side window is "Powered by Saturn"

http://www.buslady.com/DSC04917.JPG I litterally just took this pic!
And This is on the back window:

BUSLADY!!! Where did you get that decal thing? I want one!!

Custom made. I'm a baaaddd girl. I gave the guy a printout and he had the machine cut it. The guy had to do ALOT of line straightening to make it work. The lines were so thin, there's actually one missing, look on the left hand, where the sai's wing meets his thumb, there was a line that came off!
I don't know if I can get another one, it's at a mall I rarely go to. If i go anytime soon I'll see if I can get more. The size is 7" and it was like $12. It's big enough for an Explorer's back window.

HorseTechie 03-23-2004 12:16 PM

Oo... that is a cool logo decal. I should look into something like that... :evilgrin: The Transfans make the TF insignia from the same kind of sticky vinyl stuff too. I'm a disloyal TMNT fan though... I have an Autobot decal on my back window. :P

I wish I had my digital camera too, but a friend is borrowing it. So I will post this really old picture of Cyven instead. (ignore the husband type in there - he's mine!)

http://www.turtlequest.com/images/bradBMW.jpg

Cyven is a 1993 BMW 325i, manual drive. He's all paid for AND he still runs good! The wheels however, I bought the car with those shoddy things. We imagine the car was in a wreck before, and the previous owner put those on it rather than spend the extra for the BMW brand. Prolly explains why it was priced at $15K (when we got it in '99). :roll:

But I love German engineering... my next car will be a VW of somesort because I am not a rich bitch, and Cyven is a horrible vampire as far as general maintenance and repairs go. :dead: (We didn't realize just HOW expensive Beamers would be to fix before hand. Last time I make a mistake like that!)

damnhooligan 03-23-2004 12:38 PM

Presently, I've got a 1991 Mercedes Benz 230E. Nothing to rave about, but it's a sturdy car, well worth the money. But alas, it's European specs and isn't street legal in the States. So...

I'm just a few months' paychecks from taking the plunge and buying a factory-direct US specs 2004 Cooper Mini S. Gotta get it in British Racing Green, and make a good ol' "My Car Has a Napoleon Complex" sticker for it.

You can pay to have your car inspected by a mechanic, and someitmes he..."overlooks" a few small details

That Matt Guy 03-23-2004 01:04 PM

I have the same car as jeff the cheff, except mine is the 93' model.

And I hate Ford.

cqb101 03-23-2004 01:12 PM

I don't have my own car, but I drive my moms Honda civic hybrid. I love that thing!

coolmike1586 03-23-2004 01:20 PM

I have a 1998 Dodge Intrepid,2.7 L 24 valve DOHC(nothing at all spectacular but it works, sun/moon roof, tinted winows and a decent system all pioneer so it isnt nothing spactacular, dual transmission, indeglo dash board and the only reason i am explaining it is cause i dun have a scanner or i would put it up

The Defibrillator 03-23-2004 11:06 PM

A red '94 Toyota Camry. Leather interior. It has some bad oil leaking problem that really needs to be fixed. Other than that it's in pretty good condition.

Toyotas are nice good longlasting cars.

Machias Banshee 03-23-2004 11:37 PM

Must be nice to have cars, sheesh.... I'm lucky to drive my brother's Giant Ford Van...

Other than that, I'm basically owned by my motorcycle... 8)

Tigershard 03-23-2004 11:39 PM

I have a '94 Oldsmobile Achieve S. The sound system is screwed up, half the speakers don't work, but it gets me places. I like my little purple ghetto cruiser (my brother called it that because he didn't like the car, used to be his).

Sadly I won't be driving it anymore next year because I will be in Germany. Once I get back I will probably be investing in a new car, hopefully a Mitsubishi Eclipse :)

Cascadia 03-26-2004 09:57 AM

my first car was a '81 Mercedes diesel thing. That car was very slow and made so much noise....shake, rattle, and roll

now, I have a 2000 Subaru Outback limited wagon. It is a maroon, which is a discontinued color in 2001.

Blaze DTGG 03-26-2004 01:00 PM

well.. i HAD a '92 oldsmobile cutlass seiera...

HOWEVER some *CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED*

pited my roommate and sent him spinning front in first into the center divider on the freeway.

for those off you who dont know what piting is.. it a technique used by cops to send people off the road into ditches during high speed chases.


-_-; so now.. my car is totaled.. and i am a VERY grumpy blaze

thankfully no one was hurt.. but that *CENSORED* had better hope i never get my hands on him.

milweskee 03-26-2004 03:18 PM

Toyota Camry '87. Toyota is supreme.

http://www.netikka.net/timo.nurmela/...s/88Camry1.jpg

Mazda is cool too though.
Ford blows.

raphael90 03-26-2004 05:13 PM

You have one too?! Mine's red! :D I have my own special nickname for it. :lol:

RyGuy 03-27-2004 12:16 AM

I have a white 2000 Ford Explorer SE. Not much to brag about, but it gets me from point A to B!

Hyper Metal Sonic 03-27-2004 12:20 AM

Well, my dad is getting a new 2004 Ranger, My mom has a 2003 Taurus Sedan, my sister has a 2002 Ford Focus...so that means I get my dad's old 1995 Ford Ranger.

I'll post pics of it soon.

Cascadia 03-27-2004 11:43 AM

the mercedes has been in my family since 1982, I was 3 at the time. at the time, my dad was fired from his job. So, it rented the mercedes because he lost the company car when he was fired. anyways, he handed me the keys when I turned 16. He told me that car has too much meaning to it.

Lisardo 03-30-2004 05:52 PM

I have a 1992 Saturn. Some ppl think they are ugly, but I think the models of that year are the best looking Saturns. The new ones are ugly IMO. Besides I think it's pretty.

Oh explorers are much to brag about. :) :lol: :P

LAXtitan99 03-30-2004 10:18 PM

I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport in red.

My first car was a 1996 Grand Cherokee Laredo.

Savanti Romero 03-30-2004 11:25 PM

A 89 Honda Accord Lxi with available sun/moon roof.
Get 90 miles to the gallon in this hog. (30)

General Warning: Don't buy Kias. We just got this big Kia dealer in town and the cars fall apart like no other. My stupid friend got one and now i just laugh at him because my car (which i got for a $1000)already has less problems and a better interior than the Kia. and from my experience the Honda has far fewer problems than Ford, Chevy and Dodge. The brands my ingenious parents buy. Even the 85 Izuzu we have holds up better than the 97 Dodge.

TilasTrinity 03-31-2004 12:06 AM

My main one- 1993, GMC 3/4 Ton 4WD.
http://www.artinsanity.com/RKCoon/DragonWagon.jpg
I love this truck, but currently it hates me. It's down for repairs at the moment (damn tranny blew up -.-; ) so I'm going to get this one at the end of the week- (no clue what it is excatly though. Dodge something :P )
http://www.artinsanity.com/RKCoon/Truck1.jpg
Not as pretty, but hell, it'll start at -45 without trouble! ^.^;
