What car do you drive and why?

i drive a 2001 rocky mtn hammer (its a bicycle)

but i own
a 61 chev belair (project car)
an 86 pontiac parisienne w 375 000k (get 30 mpg on the highway, i kid you not!)
an 81 vw vanagon w 1000k on a rebuilt 2.0L fi engine (anyone want to buy it?)

and i dont drive any of them... goddamit!

 

When I get my license it will either be a 1990 Chevrolet Silverado or a 1996 Toyota Camry LE because I know as sure as hell that my mom isn't going to let me touch her navigator.

 

I drive my grandmother's 2003 Ford Focus because she says I can.

 

I drive an '89 Chevy S-10 Blazer cuz I'm poor.

 

I used to have this same car year and everything I also had a 97 760 turbo and loved it. I drive a 02 mustang now and miss my volvo but don't miss the brakes.

 

I drive a new Ford Escape because my mom married for money and he buys me stuff in hopes I will like him.

 

2002 VW Golf GLS. 2.0L 4 cylinder, 115hp. I love it, fantastic car. Fun to drive, good gas milage, can haul lots of stuff, its great. I absolutely adore my car! (It's in my gallery if you wanna see it...)

 

1999 Toyota Tacoma cause it gets good gas mileage for a truck, it races up mountain passes, has 4X4 for the three-foot snow days, high ground clearance to get far from pavement and I can keep my camping/travelling gear stowed away in the camper shell year around. Plus they run for-like-ever....

 

I drive a 1994 Chevy Deathtrap.... uh, Cavalier RS. Because it was cheap. Its name is Mike Harr. (say it out loud...)


I'd much rather have a hybrid car. But I don't drive Mike very much because I live on campus, so I guess I feel better about the pollution issue and whatnot.

Oooh, oooh, I have a Buddha glued to my dashboard, too! And about 12 bumper stickers. My favorite one says "Proudly marching to the beat of a different kettle of fish". Hence the username, hehe.


*peace*

 

ROFL! That's pretty funny...

I use public transportation because it's better, in regards to conservation...
*AHEM* It has nothing to do with the fact that insurance is about $300/mo. in Baltimore City... <<HLS is shifting from foot to foot, not looking anyone in the eye>>

I so miss my Thunderchicken... er, um... yeah, you know what I mean.

 

I drive an '88 Honda CRX Si, because I bought it fairly cheap a few years ago, it's semi fast and has a standard, gets 35-40mpg and it still runs just fine at ~250,000 miles. I've had it since I was 15 though, and I'm getting kind of sick of it, probably going to be getting a new car in the next year or two.

 

I drive an 04 Chrysler Sebring Convertible, and a 02 Harley Davidson Lowrider, why, because they are American made

 

I drive a 71 Vw bus. Not the greatest environmentaly but its got character and gets decent milage. (21-25MPG). I have always driven busses for some reason, without actually counting I'd say this is probably my tenth one in the last 5 years. I am seriously thinking about starting up an online vw bus parts business right now.

 

I drive a 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Wagon.


I love it!

I got it specifically because I wanted a car with decent room to lug my stuff, a roof rack for my kayaks, and all-wheel-drive, baby!! Subaru makes a great all-wheel-drive system.

Now all I have to do is move back up to where it snows. No snow in Florida, and I love driving in the stuff!

I remember seeing pictures of your car back on the old forum. That's awesome.. hahaha..

 

2004 Scion xB

Great gas milage and lots of leg and cargo room. Great price too!

 

97 ford taurus... its my parents so its that or nothing

 

1969 VW camper bus
why
cause my mom thought me sis and i would like it. and i do she doesnt...
its costing some money to fix it up
it gets good mileage for a car taht old...around 20 or 22 mpg .... and fits alot of friends... which is good
a bus full of people makes me happy

 

I drive a 1973 VW Beetle convertible. It gets exceptional gas mileage and has more room than I usually need. I like having the battery hidden under the passenger's seat in the back. I also like the fact that it is so old that it no longer needs to pass smog inspection. It's old and crappy and no one ever wants to borrow it.
It costs virtually nothing to insure, it fits in the tightest parking spaces, it's very easy to find in a garage (unless it's sandwiched between a Hummer or an SUV), it makes U-turns easily and repair is very inexpensive.

 

89 Toyota Tercel

Why? It was my first car. got it for around $1800, that was about 5 years ago. I havent had to put much work into it.

Dream car -- which im working on manifesting -- a diesal truck or jetta running on recycled vegetable oil.
