Hey Lounge, what kind of car do you drive? I'm just curious.

[SKKY]

I have a 2002 Protege5 and a 1997 Citroen ZX. I mostly drive the Citroen.

[BeachBaby]

1. Hey Sailor....

:)

I drive a metallic dark green 1992 Firebird - she's my baby, and she's beautiful!

[SKKY]

100. You just love sayin' "Hey Sailor!", don't you??

:rofl:

[MissMillie]

2. this one

Same color and everything.

I love this car. Gets 33 mpg, fits into a compact space just like a Corolla, and when you put the back seats down, it fits a full-sized washing machine in it.

[SKKY]

4. I was actually looking at those for the wife...

...the Protege is getting just a bit too small. You like it, huh? What else about it?

[MissMillie]

10. Just be aware that

the newer models have a bigger engine, they're getting about 26 mpg--but they're peppier. Mine can't get out of it's own way. But I'm an old lady, so I don't race very often.

Front wheel drive, came w/ and iPod jack, and it makes me feel little because it's got about a foot of head room over my head.

I also like that it's made by Toyota. Toyota has never failed me yet.

[CreekDog]

49. I have one like that

I love the icemaker and the chilled water. :evilgrin:

[MissMillie]

90. lol

funny that you think it looks like a fridge. My family calls it "the toaster"

[CreekDog]

91. But the stainless steel look is all the rage these days

:pals:

Thanks for playing along with me. I've always been impressed with the space and mileage of those vehicles.

[MissMillie]

95. I don't mind taking a bit of a razzing about my car

it's all in fun.

Besides.... in a parking lot, I NEVER lose that thing.

[ceile]

97. That's what I want when my car dies.

Unfortunately, my Cavalier will never die. I don't take care of it like I should and it just keeps going and going...

[TexasBushwhacker]

180. Me too, but mine's "Salsa Red"

And I agree about the newer models. They don't get nearly as good gas mileage, which was one of the big attractions for me. And they aren't as goofy looking, and I like goofy. My one beef is that the road clearance is SO LOW. Other than that, I love my lil toaster.

[kedrys]

3. 2004 Honda Accord EX

and a 2004 Honda Element that's about to get a 2000-mile workout in a couple of weeks.

[youthere]

5. Mercury Sable

[mainegreen]

6. 1999 Protege DX

The DX stands for 'Dentmobile Extreme'.

I'm fond of the car. It handles great, has *tight* breaks and everything on it is cheap to fix or replace. Plus it's completely invisible to the police should I be speeding.

[LaurenG]

7. Today

A 1989 toyota corolla AWD. We are expecting up to a foot of snow here today x( and that car kicks a** in bad driving conditions!

[meegbear]

8. 1998 GEO Metro ...

I bought back in 2002 and while I bitch and whine about it (hey, it was cheap), the gas mileage I get makes it worthwhile.

[Adsos Letter]

144. I'm trying to picture you in a Geo Metro...

...it's not really coming together for me... :D

[TZ]

9. black 2002 Toyota Celica

Fun to drive AND gets decent gas mileage (28 city, 35 hwy). Its the bestest car eveh!!

[mikeytherat]

11. My rides:

Main ride (1987 735i - last of the U.S.-spec 7-series with a manual transmission):


Beatermobile (but gets 35/42 m.p.g., so gets driven a lot these days):


Bonus photo - find the kitty:


mikey_the_rat

[Redstone]

54. And it's from the time when 7-series weren't ugly! NICE ride, mikey...from a fellow

manual-transmission guy.

Redstone

[mikeytherat]

109. Mrs Rat (DUer "bonecrusher") and I are manual transmission-only drivers.

All three vehicles are five-speed manuals.

mikey_the_rat

[triguy46]

12. OK

This is what the wife drives:


this is what I drive:

[question everything]

85. Quite appropriate (nt)

[taterguy]

13. Why the fuck do you assume that we all drive cars?

What the hell is wrong with you?

[CreekDog]

53. Taterguy's transport

[harmonicon]

154. HAHA!

oh, man. I don't drive either, but that was good.

[taterguy]

166. Shit, I can barely parallel park a VW Jetta

How the hell would I maneuver that?

[Phillycat]

14. A 2001 Toyota Corrolla.

With a sticker on the back that says "Proud To Be An East Coast Liberal Elitist". Seriously.

[RebelOne]

15. 1999 Ford Taurus stationwagon.

It's not bad on gas mileage and I'm fortunate that I only have to drive 26 miles round-trip to work.

[opiate69]

16. 2000 Hyundai Sonata and '72 Volkswagen Squareback.

[Orsino]

17. Prius & hybrid Accord. n/t

[supernova]

18. 2002 Honda CR-V

Love, Love, Love it!

:D

[ThomCat]

19. I've never had a license or a car.

:)

[DarkTirade]

121. Not even a little Matchbox car when you were a kid?

:P

[supernova]

122. Yeah but, I bet it was hard

to fit the registration into the teeny little glove compartment.

:P

[DarkTirade]

125. You just gotta drive REAAAAAALLY carefully so there's no reason to get pulled over.

[ThomCat]

130. You are totally a smartass.

:P

[DarkTirade]

132. Just a leeeeeeetle bit.

:P

[Greyskye]

127. But you've got the ThomCatMobile!

Gotten that thing tricked out yet? :evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

129. Not yet.

But I think the Art Director at work has plans for sometime in the next week or two. :)

[Fleshdancer]

20. 2006 Mini Cooper

I never thought I would love a car but this one is just too cute and fun not to love.

[I Have A Dream]

51. I love the Mini Cooper! Do you feel safe in it?

I really would love to get one as my next car. (Although not having AWD would be an issue for me.)

[Fleshdancer]

103. from what I've read, they're safer than most small cars

I like that I'm not afraid of a rollover like I was in my old SUV so the turns are more fun. :)

I'm typically a very defensive driver and I refuse to answer my cell phone while on the road so this is probably why I feel safe. The only issue is I have to rely on friends or moving trucks whenever I make a big purchase.

[harmonicon]

155. I've driven one and felt safe

A good friend of mine has had one since about the time the new ones started being sold in the US. I think they're really great. If I needed a car, and could afford that car, I'd really consider it. Very peppy and really solid feeling.

[mike_c]

21. 2008 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a soft topper....

Getting ready to take it's maiden desert camping voyage next week!

[Deep13]

22. 2002 VW Jetta station wagon. Regular 4-cyl. gasoline. nt

[RubyDuby in GA]

23. 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe and a 2003 Honda CR-V

The CR-V is new. My 1997 Honda Accord finally gave up with ghost with 260K+ miles (the timing belt broke and bent the rods on the engine or she would still be going strong!).

[DS1]

24. this

[azmouse]

25. 2000 Camaro SS, 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8,

1995 Impala SS, 2002 Corvette Z06

[lizziegrace]

26. 2000 Ford Taurus and a 1994 Honda Accord

:)

[Ava]

27. a horrible SUV that i'm sure i'm going to get chastised about , lol

2000 mercury mountaineer

[BlueCollar]

162. 98 Jeep Cherokee Classic

Don't you worry about it...LOL

[Mutley]

164. No chastising.

But how can you drive that huge thing? Every time I get behind the wheel of any truck, let alone a huge truck, I feel like I'm going to bash into everything around me. I have zero sense of the size of the vehicle like I do with cars. :D

[libnnc]

28. '08 Honda Fit

that replaced a '93 Eagle Summit Wagon (180+k miles).

[grace0418]

60. I'm sooooo jealous.

I want that to be my next car. Unfortunately (well, really, fortunately) my 1999 Civic is in great shape and won't be needing replacement for awhile.

[libnnc]

76. We hung on as long as we could

and were fortunate enough to be able to save a lot over the last few years to get this one. I've been very, very lucky with the Summit but just couldn't push it any longer. The way we hang on to vehicles, this Fit will last 20 years, I predict.

[MrsBrady]

139. Honda FIT here, may 2007 n/t

[Guava Jelly]

29. 2002 Toyota Tacoma

[leftofthedial]

30. 93 Saturn wagon

[malta blue]

31. 2000 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon

It has 175k on it and I just fixed the ABS on it. Mechanic said she is ready to go for another 100k.

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. This:

[Redstone]

57. Gol dang, that is ONE purty El Camino. Are those Cragar S/S wheels?

Redstone

[Oeditpus Rex]

75. Yup

There's only a few cars of that vintage on which I'd put anything other than Cragars. From a '55 Chevy to a '72, they're the stylin' wheels.

I don't think they look right on Corvettes, though. Classic 'Vettes should keep the Rallye wheels from the factory.

Mustangs from the '60s look good with Ansen-style slotted mags as well as Cragar SS, for some reason.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

173. El Com.een.OH!

Ever since I saw the Mexican, I can't hear that word without hearing Brad Pitt Say it. :evilgrin:
Duckie

[av8rdave]

33. 07 Jeep Compass and 2000 Roadstar

[AlCzervik]

34. 2007 vw beetle convertible.

[MorningGlow]

35. 2000 Jeep Wrangler

Crappy mileage, but I bought it new, back in the Good Ol' Days when mileage didn't matter as much. You know--back when gas prices were HALF what they are now. :grr:

Now it's paid for, and I can't afford to take on a car payment since I quit my job to freelance, so I need this little lady to keep on chugging for another 100K if she can handle it.

In the meantime, I will enjoy how much fun it is to drive, even though it's falling apart one piece at a time, and enjoy being in the cool club of Wrangler drivers waving to each other on the road. :D )

[flvegan]

36. 2007 Mazdaspeed 3.

Recently traded in my '02 Protege5 on her.





on edit:

This is my other ride

http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/ga/gary-fisher-03-sugar-3+.jpg

[CreekDog]

56. I think the Mazda3 is way cool

I was gonna buy one but I needed all wheel drive and more clearance so I went with the Subaru instead --much less cool than your choice but it gets the job done.

[flvegan]

63. If I still lived up north, I probably would've gone for the AWD, too

and gotten the Subaru rival.

[Redstone]

59. One of my neighbors has one of those. It's a hot box, isn't it?

Redstone

[flvegan]

64. Fastest front wheel drive on the planet.

And with only 5,000 made a year, somewhat unique.

[Redstone]

70. And not much torque steer, for all those HP going through the front wheels.

A terrific car. I'd not mind owning one myself.

Redstone

[flvegan]

72. Mazda designed a traction system to limit torque steer.

However, turn it off, and launching hard is just about impossible. Tires go up in smoke, and the wheel jerks all over.

Uh, or so I've heard or something. Not that I've tried it.

[AlCzervik]

62. i test drove the sedan version of that car, very zippy and sorry.....way cute.

thats a stick shift...please say yes, please say yes.

[flvegan]

66. Oh, yeah. 6 speed to be precise.

[AlCzervik]

67. good times.

the thought of an automatic transmission makes me want to weep.

[Redstone]

71. So I'm not the only one! Mrs R's S60 has one of those automatics that you can shift

manually, and it works pretty well, but it's just NOT the same without the clutch pedal...my left leg gets bored when I drive her car.

Redstone

[AlCzervik]

74. i was taught to drive by my Dad who always had manual transmissions so thats

what i always bought, i had one automatic and i was bored silly, it's like being on autopilot. The sad thing is that manuals are being done away with on many models, Toyota stopped making the camry with a stick and when i bought a Honda they had to get one for me from 200 miles away because they had no stick shifts, "People just don't want them anymore" well i do, same thing when i bought my Bug, only one dealer had one with a stick that had the stuff i wanted.

My daughter is 13 but i've already started teaching her drive my car, it's never too early to learn.

[IronLionZion]

68. How do you like it?

I'm considering getting that one in the next year or so. I'm also considering the VW GTI, Subaru WRX, and Mazda6 v6 unless I am willing to pony up for the Mazdaspeed6.

All that power sounds really good except for the fact that it all goes to the front wheels.

nice bike, can you lock your rear suspension?

[flvegan]

77. I love it.

For the money, it can't be beaten. I drove the WRX, and the AWD is nice, but the extra cash puts it in Mazdaspeed6 (also AWD) territory, which I like better than the Subaru. The WRX is also only *slightly* faster in the 1/4 than the 'speed3, but the 3 handles 10x better IMO. The 'speed is also a good deal more comfortable.

The initial launch can be tough, but the next 3 gears remind me a LOT of my 87 Grand National. Boost, sweet beautiful boost.

I have the first generation Sugar with the Cane Creek AD5, so it doesn't lock out. I ride it hard, so I've never missed the feature.

[libnnc]

79. After owning this one a month, I know

that you would blow the doors off of me




But I still love my Fit...fellow FitFreaks have told me that the manual is a little quicker. Mine is an automatic.

[flvegan]

82. I like the Fit. Great car.

I see them all over the place.

Also, while I might get there faster, you're passing more gas stations than I am. My best so far has been an avg of 26 mpg.

[libnnc]

86. I think I'm averaging about 30 right now

I tend to be heavy on the gas pedal in town. I really have to floor it on the highway to get it to zoom (a little frustrating) but it will move. Caught myself doing about 90 on the way to Durham last week :blush: :spank:

I could get much better mileage...I just have to slow down.

[Longhorn]

37. 2001 Saleen Mustang Convertible

Wanna see? :)

[Longhorn]

39. Pic

[Redstone]

61. See? Hell, no, I don't want to SEE. I want to DRIVE.

Redstone

[Longhorn]

78. It is fun to drive but the poor thing

doesn't get put to its paces. Kinda like trotting a racehorse when it's being driven by a 52-year-old math teacher! ;) The tires are too expensive to leave any rubber on the road. But you'd be amazed how many young guys in sports cars will pull up next to me at the light and give me a vroom-vroom like they're going to race me! :rofl: Many of them are really sweet and give me a thumbs up or call out, "I like your car!" And it gives me an added "cool" factor with my college students.

[MrCoffee]

38. 2006 Chevy HHR

[kwassa]

40. ours

05 Malibu Maxx, a great car



wife's 06 BMW 325i, of course a great car

[jakefrep]

128. The Malibu Maxx is a cool car

Don't let the GM haters tell you otherwise.

I dig the sliding back seat - like a Chevy limo.

[graywarrior]

41. '95 Toyota Camry.

37 miles per gallon on the highway, 30 mpg around town.

[Inchworm]

42. Currently without one and driving the "work" truck

1991 Dodge pick-up. I'm paying hella for gas and hating it.

x(

[PRETZEL]

43. Had a 2001 Stratus until it committed suicide couple of months ago,

now my wife and I carpool with the 2005 Pontiac Sunfire.

[timtom]

44. 1997 Chevy Lumina

[mondo joe]

45. 2006 Scion XB (aka The Toaster)

[LeftyMom]

46. 1997 Saturn SW1 for long trips, 90something Giant hybrid for short ones

bike (old pic, I've done more stuff to it since):

earth destroying death machine:

[SacredCow]

47. 2006 Saturn Ion Quad Coupe and 1979 VW Superbeetle...

Actually, both are visible in this pic...

[I Have A Dream]

48. A 1992 Subaru that doesn't have 100,000 miles on it yet.

(It's ready to turn over to six figures any day now.) I love my car!

:bounce:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

50. 2006 MINI Cooper (Pepper White) with black stripes on bonnet and checkerboard mirror caps

His name is "Chequers," and I love him. Mr. DTBK drives a silver 2007 Lexus ES350.

[Redstone]

52. Missy:

2001 Volvo C70 HPT convertible. Absurdly fast and utterly irresponsible. But I rationalize my sins against the Earth with the fact that I only drive 3 to 4 thousand miles a year.



Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

174. That is a nice car...

Not the car I would have pictured you in, but it's beautiful nonetheless.
Duckie

[LSdemocrat]

55. 1997 Honda Accord sedan, 4-cyl.

[grace0418]

58. 1999 Honda Civic and 2001 Subaru Outback. I mostly drive the Civic and I think

we will soon be trading in the Outback for another Honda. I think we're just going to be all-Honda from now on. Our Hondas over the years have been way more reliable than any other car.

[huskerlaw]

65. 2007 Scion tC

The gas mileage is pretty crappy, but it's got enough power to make merging onto LA freeways a relatively simple task. Plus, it's a Toyota.

[Initech]

69. '07 Nissan Altima

It's very nice - has all the cool shit that a high-end Lexus does, gets great mileage, zero emissions, and thanks to the CVT transmission I can go for 10,000 miles before needing an oil change.

[Highway61]

73. 2006 Subaru Forrester in the winter

2002 Mazda Miata in the summmer (Maine winters are a tad rough)

[libnnc]

80. What does your Citroen look like?

I've seen a couple of them on the TV show Top Gear but I've never seen any here in the states.

[SKKY]

99. I don't think you can actually get them in the States...

...I live in Spain, and they're fairly common here. It kinda reminds me of the old Volkswagen Siroccos, but not nearly as fast or cool.

[Throd]

81. '68 442

I love everything about it except the gas mileage. Fortunately I don't need to drive much.

[flvegan]

83. Nice! Got any pix?

[Throd]

87. Oddly enough, I don't. Bright yellow w/ Cragar SS mags though

[Fox Mulder]

84. '92 Buick Skylark.

It's only got 119,000 miles on it and the engine is fantastic. It drives a lot better than my roommate's 2000 Chevy Malibu. :)

Edited to add that the body on my car is a lot better also.

[NMDemDist2]

171. I have a '91 LeSabre, great car with 136K and going strong! n/t

[HERVEPA]

88. '03 Corolla, 130,00 miles. No problems

[Roon]

89. I ride the bus and lightrail

even if I had a car, I would never be able to afford gas and insurance. It's a fifteen minute bus ride to downtown so it's not bad at all. I have an Ipod and I watch it while I am riding.

[alarimer]

92. 2006 Mazda 3 Hatchback

Not the Speed3 (they didn't make one in 2006- not that I needed 250 HP at the time). The 160 HP of 2.3 liter seems to be enough.

Way fun to drive. It can really move and still gets decent mileage (24 MPG in town, 30-32 highway). Plus it fit four adults and all our luggage on a road trip. Lots of room in the backseat (more than my dad's Mercedes C230 in fact).

[tekisui]

93. 1990 Ford Ranger Pick-up with 300,000+ miles on it.

It's my work truck, it's beat all to hell, and I love it.

[Corgigal]

94. 2007 Mazda CX-9

Me love her so much.

[guitar man]

96. my rides

'03 Dodge Ram 1500, plain jane, small v6, 5 speed stick...ho hum



'95 Lincoln Mark VIII...200k miles, still going strong, wife's ride



But, my "main squeeze" is a '99 Harley Sportster 883c. Better than 50 mpg highway and it makes getting from "point A to B" an absolute blast :evilgrin:

[SKKY]

101. I will own a Harley one day...

...I'm partial to the Heritage Soft Tail Classic personally.

[guitar man]

102. Me too

I'd love to have a Softail, out of my price range for now though :(

I picked up the Sportster ridiculously cheap a couple years ago, it's still books for more than I paid for it :)

[michreject]

152. Here's mine

[ceile]

98. 95 Cevy Cavalier

Great car. The only major problem it's ever had is the AC. Bad leak, too expensive to fix. It absolutely SUCKS driving anywhere in the summer.

[laconicsax]

104. 1993 Mazda MX-3

27 MPG City
37 MPG Highway (I've gotten 40 a couple times)

[Thirtieschild]

105. Husband: 2002 Subaru Forester Me: 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser

We got the Land Cruiser (used) because we needed something that could handle our dirt road - the boulders and gullies were way beyond our 1990 Honda Accord. The Land Cruiser is a gas guzzler but I excuse it because I only drive it a couple of times a month. Stay home unless I have to go into town for a doctor's appointment and then run all the errands that have been piling up.

[WeRQ4U]

106. Switched from a lifted Jeep Wrangler to a Prius.

4 times the MPG. 1/100th of the cool.

[jakefrep]

107. 2007 Mazda CX7

[Samurai_Writer]

108. 1984 Ford Bronco II

I bought it for $500 off Craigslist almost two years ago. 161000 miles on it, and still going strong.

[SacredCow]

111. Oh, wow... That's what I had in high school...

Man, that thing burned some oil, but it was great for hauling all of my stuff!

[Samurai_Writer]

113. Here's my 'beauty'

It gets 25 mpg, and it doesn't even burn oil. It just needs a paint job.





Taken after going over one mountain pass, and about to climb up the other (we made it!).

[dpbrown]

110. Toyota Prius

Every dollar in gas is a dollar for the Saudi terrorists.

[harmonicon]

156. sweet

It's totally cool that you're so open about your support for terrorists. Most people wouldn't be so brave.

[Jamastiene]

112. 1891 Nissan Sentra

I meant 1989 Nissan Sentra, but decided to leave the funny date up for kicks. :P

[Scooter24]

114. An '08 BMW 335i Convertible

I'm so looking forward to warmer weather so I can let the top down :)

[REP]

115. I still love answering this question: 2008 Nissan 350 Z Grand Touring, got it in November

Mine is this color (Nagoro Red) and has the RayS rims and Brembo brakes (etc). I lurve my car.

[cordelia]

116. 2004 Honda Civic

Love my little Zippymobile. She's awfully good to me.

[yellowdogintexas]

117. 2001 Chrysler Sebring which I love !!!!

gets great mileage, comfortable runs like a top. I can drive all the way to Little Rock from Fort Worth on one tank of gas.

[Mezzo]

118. I'm a vovlo driving liberal

[NightWatcher]

119. an 06 Toyota Corolla - great car 35-38 mpg

[DarkTirade]

120. My car went kaboom a while back.

But I'm sharing two cars with family that I'm living with right now. The one I drive less frequently (at least while the roads are still icy. It doesn't grip the road as well as I'd like.) is a Civic hybred. The other is a Hyundai XG350. Not the most fuel-efficient car of its size, but it's got the kind of control I like to feel on roads full of ice, snow and/or stupid drivers.

[GOPisEvil]

123. 1994 Infiniti G20.

147k miles and still purrs like a kitteh!

[Sabriel]

138. I still have a '95 G20 I bought new in '95. Great car!

Even after 13+ years, it has fewer rattles and far better quality paint, upholstery, etc. than my 2007 Honda.

[YankeyMCC]

124. 2006 Prius

[Greyskye]

126. Prius and Bug

and



I get the Prius these days, as I have a longer commute then my wife does. :D

[Generic Brad]

131. Am I the only one here with a Scion XB?

[GOPBasher]

133. '02 Hyundai elantra. n/t

[mwooldri]

134. What I would want to drive? A Dennis Dart. lol :)

Well, I wanted to drive one when I was younger...

In reality I drive a very non-exciting 2004 Ford Focus. Base model, though it has automatic transmission and air conditioning, otherwise it's manual locks, manual windows, manual mirrors, manual heat...

Mark.

[Bennyboy]

135. Bicycle.

Really can't afford to drive a car anymore. gave it up about a year ago. Was spending over half of my income keeping the car going.

[KeepItReal]

136. Here's mine

'007 Sport

[AwakeAtLast]

137. Me - 2005 Camry. Mr. WMU - 1987 Supra

He is in the process of customizing the Supra. He just put the Japanese version of the engine in it that has a higher boost turbo. He had to install a blowoff valve after that!

We seem to be a Toyota family.

Here's a picture of what he's going for:

[movie_girl99]

140. 2006 VW Golf

it is by far one of my favorite cars thus far.

[ScreamingMeemie]

141. 2003 Yukon XL

[Digit]

142. 2005 Honda CR-V

I am only 4' 11", so it really helps me see over the other cars. Plus, I can see over the dashboard and can reach the pedals.
It is only 6 miles to work, and the gas mileage is not too bad.
I love it.

181. I had a 1998, I miss the height

I have a 2006 Scion xB now, and I like the gas mileage, but it's SO LOW. All these big ass trucks here in Texas are hard to see over. Fortunately, I don't have to drive a lot.

143. 2001 Chevy Silverado, 2005 Nissan Maxima, 1991 Isuzu Trooper

the Trooper is a lot of fun...just don't hit those corners too fast...or anything else, for that matter.

Edit: Holy Cow...forgot the wifes 1963 Nova SS...her first car!

153. 2005 Town & Country and 2000 Saturn LW2

I've been very happy with both. My T&C has 44,000 miles, and never a problem. I was initially very apprehensive about getting a minivan, but now I love it. My Saturn has over 140,000 miles, but still runs fairly well, but the timing belt may be on its last legs, and it has a leak in the coolant tank, which will both cost more to fix than the car is worth. The Saturn was hit head on in 2002 (at 35 mph), and had to be completely rebuilt at the front end. I can vouch that it is an extremely safe car...my kids and I walked away from the accident; I was very sore for a few days, but otherwise unhurt.

157. I drive a...

2007 BMW 335i Sedan with a manual transmission.

Edit, if I lived in germany, or anywhere in Europe I guess, I would drive this, the Wagon variant of the same car.

158. Hyundai Terracan (2005)

Hard to get by without 4 wheel drive in the Sandlands...

159. 94 Mazda 626 V6

This is not my car, but looks like it:

Mazdas have transmission problems. This one is on its third transmission. Houston is hell on automatics with heat and heavy traffic. People who drive stick shifts around here wear out their clutches really quickly.

If you fear for your life you get a six cylinder instead of a four, so you have enough pickup to get out of the way of some maniac barreling down on you in a pickup or SUV.

160. 2006 Skoda Octavia VRS

If I had the money then I'd have a Lotus Elise for the weekends too, but I don't.

161. Have A Metro And An Intrigue

Bought the Intrigue from the daughter of an elderly neighbor (whom I had knownd since childhood) that passed away and usually use it because it has air (live in CA) and radio but thinking of switching back to the Metro for obvious reasons.

[Mutley]

163. 2003 Volkswagon Jetta

I love it! I intend to drive it until it just won't drive anymore. :D

[Paladin]

165. 2008 Honda Pilot SUV

Recently bought it to use here in Colorado. Got rid of a sleek, expensive German number that we brought with us when we moved from Texas; it turned out to be an absolute death trap on all the ice and snow up here.

And by the way....we chose the navigation option on the Pilot, rather than the rear entertainment system, BUT---you people with young kids ought to get down on your knees and thank God that such diversionary electronic devices are now available. When I think about the back-seat riots that used to break out on long trips between my bored, restless daughters, years ago.....

167. 2004 Jeep Liberty

We call her Libby. She's a great truck.

168. MINI

bad picture of me after a century ride with my son, but here is my other ride

[NMDemDist2]

169. 1991 Buick LeSabre, 2003 Olds Bravada

the Buick is a great car that I drove for a year until hubby got a new job 30 miles away. It gets (marginally) better mileage (24-27) than the Olds so he's driving the wheels off it. 136,000 and going strong with it's 6 cyl. front wheel drive

the Bravada doesn't fit our lifestyle anymore but we only owe another year of payments on it so we'll hang on to it. It does have the 6 cyl in it also but only gets about 20MPG. Luckily I only drive about 5000 miles a year

here's the Buick



and the Olds looks like this one except it's in the gold/tan color

[Lavender Brown]

170. 2008 Hyundai Sonata

[Boudica the Lyoness]

172. 2002 Jeep Liberty

I have a farm/ranch so it's good for driving up very steep hills and chasing cattle home when they escape. I've even hauled a couple of new calves in the back.

[BreweryYardRat]

175. '89 Volvo 240DL wagon. Also known as that thing I curse and scream at.

[kaiden]

176. 2006 Honda Element and a 1999 Nissan Frontier.

Both 4-cylinder, manual transmission. Pretty good gas mileage on both.

[BarenakedLady]

177. 1987 Chevy Venture

or my preferred VW Passat (not sure of the year...2001?)

[fizzgig]

178. a 1982 245 volvo station wagon

i've had that car since i was 16. i will probably be the only person at my 10-year reunion who is driving the same car they drove to graduation.

i will drive that car until it bursts into flames or the engine drops out

[datasuspect]

179. a 1974 Dodge Monaco

i got it at the Mount Prospect police auction, they were practically giving them away. it's got cop tires, cop suspension and a cop motor - a 440 cubic-inch plant.

[bamacrat]

182. 99 VW Jetta Wolfsburg, black, 112,000 miles, only one of the windows works.

I like it though, the sunroof opens and it gets 26-30 mpg depending on how I drive.

[Patsy Stone]

183. 2003 MINI Cooper

Blue, with a Union Jack roof decal.

His name is Simon.

[Bombero1956]

184. this is mine.

On the 27th of this month it will be 2 yrs I've had it. Still only have 15,000 miles on it and never a mechanical problem.

[Kutjara]

185. 2006 Honda Accord EX-L.

I assume the initials mean something else besides Ex-Lax.

It's a great car though, and the four cylinder engine is fairly fuel efficient, without being feeble.

[skater314159]

186. 2004 Ford Ranger... and my dad's old Buick - I mostly drive the Ford.

Driving the Buick just makes me sad.
