What kind of Cars do you guys drive?
« on: October 29, 2012, 06:13:49 AM »
Yeah, let's talk about some manly stuff!
What kind of cars do you guys own/drive?

What's important when you are choosing a car? Price?  Low consumption? Safety?


I've had 3 cars so far;
1996 Citroen Xantia 1.6i  ("Great" French car :D)
1998 Mitsubishi Galant 2.5l V6
Currently I have 1997 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 2.5l V6 TwinTurbo AWD

2011 Hyundai Sonata (hybrid).
2002 Honda Odyssey. Was the 'family' vehicle when the kids were young. Now the Sonata is the primary vehicle.

I just bought a 98 Toyota Corolla and I absolutely love it. Its reliable, and fantastic on gas.

I also own a 92 RS Camaro, but rarely ever drive it since its so bad on gas. These days I'm all about economy.

Not a pic of my exact car, but that's the model and color.  I got 2 Dark Castle stickers, a Stolen Babies sticker, and a Jimmy Johns sticker on the back.  Pretty tight.

I've had way too many cars to remember all of them.


Right now I drive the best car there is: FREE Company Issued Car w/ Gas and Maintenance Card  :hat


It's a 2009 Toyota Camry, but when the lease is up next year I'll probably be getting a 2013 Nissan Maxima


We get new cars at my company every three years.

I drive an 01 Saturn SL2 5 speed.

It's not my dream car, but it's paid off so I'm able to put money in savings.  To me a car has to be one that i enjoy driving.  I had a 98 Chevy Malibu for a while and I hated it.  It was (for my taste) too big of a car and it had some issues (it went through tires and the radio didn't work too well).  Gas mileage also was a problem.
In high school my buddies and I built a Van Der Graaf generator.  You know, to get girls.

2005 Toyota Camry.  I got it used a few years ago, but I live close to my job and I don't have a life so I could probably drive that sucker for fifteen more years if I had to.

After having a '99 Honda Accord for over 10 years, I got an '09 Honda Civic back in July.  Only had 23K miles on it when I got it, so I am hoping for another 10 years out of a Honda. :coolio

Cars I have owned:
1992 Toyota Camry (my grandfather gave this basically brand new car to me when I turned 16, just before he died.  I'll never forget this one.  My granddad was awesome.)
1993 Geo Prizm (wife's car when we got married)
2001 VW Passat
2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid (current)
2012 Lexus IS250 (current)

I've only had one car, it was a 1990 Volkswagen Passat. I sold it about a year ago though.

Hey, this ain't just a guy's topic now. :P

I have owned...

1964 Chevy Impala (aka boat of car)
1987 Toyota truck (which got totaled in November of 1996 :'( )
1996 Ford Escort (got the engine replaced in 2004, almost completely died on me in late 2007)

I've owned my current ride since late November 2007, which is a 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser.  I love it - probably the most dependable ride I've owned since the truck.

hmm...let me see...

99 Sunfire...not a bad little car.
2002 Grand AM GT, loaded leather the works..and usually a "good" brand of GM car. Ours was absolute lemon.

Currently, Mrs. Spider drives an 08' Trailblazer (pretty good truck - no problems)
And I am in a loaded Mazda 3 gt sport, hatch.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Happy Lives to you all.

I loved my mazda3 hatch. I bought it with 42k miles on it. It gave me very little problems in the 85k miles I added to it. Then some douche rear ended the fuck out of me.

Fun is the most important thing.  I get about 14mpg and burn through a set of tires in about 18-24 months, all of which gets really expensive, but it's the price you pay for combining transportation with entertainment.

The first one is my favourite to drive, by far.  :tup

Also, the first two cars I drove were FIATs. They aren't nearly as bad as many claim they are.  :angel:

I added an intake on my Mazda 3 it has a solid little rumble now.

The cobalt is a popular car with young tuners. I've heard mostly good things about wear, and general maintenance.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

First car was a 1999 Mustang.
Traded up to a 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe.
Before my son was born, I traded the coupe in for a 2010 Infiniti G37xS sedan. That's my current.

Bought it for $7,000 and it seems that there have been more repairs to it than the car cost itself. I love it though. Mine has 135,000 miles on it and I still think it runs really well

Between my Panda and I we have:

1996 Mustang Convertible (3.8 L V6) (hers)

1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ceira (3.8 L V6 ) (mine. bought it last weekend. Amazing condition... 144k miles... God bless 92 yr old women who take care of their cars)

and a 97 F150. Long Bed Extended Cab. (4.2 L V6) trying like a bitch to sell this mofo.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

This is too important topic to die!!!

So there has been a tragic change in my life;

I had to part ways with my Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 .  It simply got too expensive to drive.  i drive a lot novadays so I had to get car with smaller fuel consumption.

I bought 2001 Mercedes Benz E-Class 200CDI !
What a great car!  Very low diesel consumption and amazing to drive!   
I've never  really cared about Mercedes before, but I decided to try it because of the nice reputation. Nice car overall
Chicks doesn't like it as much as my VR-4, but at least I feel "like a Sir"  cos i drive Mercedes.

Just look at it ! ;D

Stay by my side / as I fade / so you can point to the end of my struggle /and the twilight of eternal days / at the low, dark edge of life.
