Your cars

What car do you guys drive (only those who are allowed to drive of course )?
Mine looks like this one:

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.

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.

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

@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.

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.

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

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"

I litterally just took this pic!
And This is on the back window:

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.

Oo... that is a cool logo decal. I should look into something like that... 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.

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!)



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).

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. (We didn't realize just HOW expensive Beamers would be to fix before hand. Last time I make a mistake like that!)

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
