We have every type of thread on here regarding each of us personally (Post your pic, etc.), but I've never seen a car thread.

So, without further ado, post what kind of car you drive.

If you want, post a pic of your car.

Ford Fiesta 2011

No pics of my car on my computer but I drive a 2001 VW Golf.

I'm looking for a new DD but I'll never let my golf go, that thing is most reliable and fun thing I own.

You know, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about VW, especially the Golf. They must be good cars (never drove one personally).

2005 Honda Civic coupe. I'm selling it ASAP. I can't stand that it's a base model (manual locks, windows, everything), I can't stand it's fucking 4 speed auto trans, and I can't fucking stand that it's a poorly repaired rebuilt title. I'm gettin either a Golf or a Scion Xa, or whatever isn't a fucking rebuilt Honda Civic. The car was so badly put together that it's basically held together by zip-ties. I'm tired of finding a new problem with the car every month.

Please tell me you got one with a real, honest to god, foot operated clutch.

Once they came out with the 1 series, I kind of figured that would be my next car, but it's still a few years before the used ones drop into my price range. Currently shopping for an interim E36 to replace the one I've got now.

SMF 2 doesn't want me posting any pictures, so no dice in this thread.

If someone didn't get this with a clutch, they would be a terrible human being.

Normally I'd be inclined to agree with you, but BMW is really trying to do away with the clutch, from what I can tell. They really want people to drive inside the box, so to speak. It's entirely possible that those things are impossible to get in a stick.

My golf has a terrible reputation but my golf has been relatively problem free aside from a few electrical gremlins here and there.

Awesome Awesome Awesome. Did you drive any of the 3-series? If so how do they compare?

I haven't had the time to drive anything other than the 335 and I'm having a hard time justifying the cost brand new. I've also looked at the 1-series however I've never driven on.

That seems to be the common trend with a lot of the German auto makers, but only in the states. I know a lot of the race edition VWs and Audis are only offered with clutchless transmissions, while germany and all of Europe gets the good ol' 6 speed. I know several people who had the systems imported, then converted their cars.

Well for one thing, America's love affair with the car is winding down. More and more people just want transportation, and actually having to shift gears detracts from your texting time.

My mechanic and I discussed BMW's tendency away from cars that are fun to drive a while back. His take on it is that with all of the automakers, BMW included, offering huge warranties and quite a bit of scheduled maintenance, they have a major interest in keeping people like me from abusing their cars. The stick-shift is a fine example. I'm an absolute terror to any clutch, and that's a $3k hit they'd rather not absorb. My first BMW was an E30 that I abused mercilessly for 12 years every day. I don't think the modern, more plastic version of the 325 could withstand my abuse for 100k, much less the 220k that my old one did, and I know that they don't want to be responsible for maintaining it during that time. Better for them to just build a car that will only let you drive the way they want you to.

Now, that said, I'm real interested in hearing if Doc Millah's car defies my theory. They're still making M-coupes for a reason, so the game's not entirely over. His car has a power to weight ratio that's absolutely absurd, so I'd like to know if they left room for playtime.
