Okay... so, what do you drive?

[ChoralScholar]

Google Image Search is Helpful Here

Mine - a 1998 Kia Sportage 4WD - Green


Elfrangel - a 1995 Plymouth Voyager - Burgundy

[bridgit]

1. focus...

this isn't it but...it's a focus :thumbsup:

[ChoralScholar]

4. Well, those cars I posted aren't mine either,

but are very similar ones turned up by Google Images.

[Left Is Write]

2. 2003 Toyota Sienna.

[ChoralScholar]

5. oooh.. I like those... how do you like it?

[Left Is Write]

84. I like it very much.

We were one model year too early for the seats that fold into the floor, but I'm still very happy with my Sienna.

[deadparrot]

3. Suzuki Aerio...

Something like this:

[tuvor]

6. 2006 PT Cruiser

I loves it.

[ChoralScholar]

50. I see a lot of those.. do you like it? EOM

[tuvor]

58. I like it very much.

It could be better in terms of acceleration response, but there's a turbo version that's available, which I imagine would look after that. (Sorry, I'm useless when discussing car specs.)

Other than that, though, I have no real complaints. I should probably also offer the disclaimer that it's a company car, so I don't have to worry about other costs like maintenance and so on. On the other hand, the company DOES, and the Cruiser was their ultimate decision.

[Kathryn STone]

67. what kind of mileage do you get out of that?

my boyfriend's best friend in KY has one and won't talk about it.

[tuvor]

70. This should be pretty accurate...

I've been entering fuel data into my PalmPilot since November, and it's telling me that my mileage is 10.70 litres/100 kilometres, which works out to 21.98 miles per US gallon. About 95% of that driving is on the highway.

[Kathryn STone]

152. that's good-it "looks" like it gets less. BF's friend says...

in KY they give them "truck" license plates. Is that true for you, too?

[wildhorses]

7. okay guys I live on a 1/2 mile dead end dirt road so please

understand I need the vehicle for it's versatility....

I drive a Ford Explorer sport edition








you may now throw the rotten tomatoes...

[ChoralScholar]

11. Hey.. the explorer is a small SUV.

In my opinion, a very reasonable vehicle.

At least it's not an Excursion, Navigator, Suburban, or an H2.

I live in the Ozarks, in a town with very steep grades. When we do get snow and ice, you almost have to have a 4wd to get around. My wife's van does ok, but it still wouldn't go up some streets during the last snow.

[wildhorses]

20. thanks for understanding and making the distinction between

the samller version although the gas mileage still sucks compared to the Honda Accord I used to drive when I lived in the city...




do you think gas will be over $3.00 before 4th of July?



we have bets at work and one guy bet on next week....

[ChoralScholar]

27. I dunno... Our gas is way above the national average in North Arkansas

It's already nearly 2.70 here.

Which sucks, since I only get 23-24 mpg from the Kia.

[wildhorses]

52. that is what I am paying here, too

:wtf:

[cleofus1]

79. hey i have an explorer too!

my lovely wife and son model with the black 2000 ford explorer...

[laheina]

110. After being on my father's "street"

I would never do such a thing. ;)

Actually, it's more like four wheeling in front of a randomly placed house. :) He lives in the desert, and taking that thing in my Civic was traumatic.

[Droopy]

8. One of these

[liberaltrucker]

16. In your dreams!

:hi:

:toast:

[liberaltrucker]

9. Freightliner and 53' trailer

GVW 80,000 lbs. At home though, a 2004 Toyota Echo.:blush:

[Droopy]

19. What kind of Freightliner have you got?

I drive a 2004 Century Class. Not a bad truck although it's in the shop right now for a few minor repairs. It has a 430HP 12.7L Detroit in it and a Super 10 transmission.

[LeftyMom]

30. I like the Echo!

I did my driver's training in one and was really amazed at what a neat little car it is. If my kid weren't well on his way to gargantuan-ness I'd look into getting one. As is I think I'll be investing in a larger vehicle soon rather than a smaller one. :(

[A HERETIC I AM]

115. Mine's a Kenworth T-2000 and a 53' Featherlite with a 40'X 8" slideout

This one, in fact;


Hey liberalTrucker!

I'm in Phoenix this week. 4 displays in a row then leave saturday for SoCal.


Ps...at home it's a Chevy Venture Minivan. I havent driven it more than a mile in over 2 years

[RandomKoolzip]

10. 1990 Subaru Loyale station wagon.

This one's stuck in the mud. Ours isn't, and is black to boot. Good car, runs like a dream after 16 years.

[ChoralScholar]

13. is it All-Wheel Drive? EOM

[RandomKoolzip]

25. Yup.

And it only cost us 1000 smackers!

[ChoralScholar]

28. awesome. EOM

[Fox Mulder]

12. 1992 buick skylark

Although that is not my car, it's pretty damn close to what it looks like.

[ChoralScholar]

15. Hey,, now that's a cool car. I always liked the point on the front...

like the cow-catcher on a locomotive :)

I have a very good friend with one, and I like it a lot.

[Fox Mulder]

21. I love the way it drives.

So smooth and sporty. It drives better than my mom and dad's new PT Cruiser. :)

[MaggieSwanson]

14. 2001 Honda Civic. Silver.

:thumbsup:

[ChoralScholar]

18. I had a 91 Civic Hatchback that I loved

But I was driving for a living, so the no-cruise and manual transmission got old after the first 15,000 miles on the job.

[MaggieSwanson]

32. Manual transmission

is a no-go for me. I completely understand!

[ChoralScholar]

37. It was ok, and I didn't mind it,

until I had to make my living in the car. THEN it got old. There's only so much DFW rush-hour you can handle with a 5-speed.

[laheina]

112. Hey! Our cars are siblings.

And they get two thumbs up from me! :)

[MaggieSwanson]

157. Hey, that's cool.

:toast: to our silver Civics, long may they run!

[SofaKingLiberal]

17. .

:yoiks:

[ChoralScholar]

23. Ohh.. that reminds me...

ChoralScholar Jr. drives this ever since his 2nd birthday.



Except his is all red. I think it looks cooler than the yellow and blue.

[enigmatic]

22. this

http://www.firstflightbikes.com/1996_Klunker.htm

[ChoralScholar]

26. So is that like a custom bicycle or what....

It looks cool.

[enigmatic]

33. It's essentially the first Mountain Bike

Gary Fisher designed it from an old Schwinn roadster about 35 years ago; I've got my own version of it I made myself that I use for city travel. It's a beast, and hasn't let me down once..

[ChoralScholar]

40. I'd be in a lot better shape if I biked.

I had a decent Kensington 16-speed with aquatread tires that I sold for peanuts when I moved. I didn't have room on the truck.

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. ...

[ChoralScholar]

29. Now that is slick... what year model El Camino is that? EOM

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. '65

Had it since '81.

Thanks. :hi:

[ChoralScholar]

43. I remember seeing the 70's models growing up, and asking my dad

"Is it a truck, or is it a car?!?"

He never did tell me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

51. I refer to mine as a truck

But to each his own.

Once in awhile I'll call it a "cruck." :D

El Caminos are station wagons without the back seats, though. Same frame, same dimensions.

[ChoralScholar]

53. I haven't decided if my Kia is a car or a truck.

Calling it a truck doesn't feel right, and it is essentially on a car frame.

[Oeditpus Rex]

60. I've heard people call SUVs trucks

But it ain't a truck 'less it's got a bed or a fifth wheel.

[laheina]

109. I knew a chick from Oregon who used to do that.

It used to drive me bonkers. :crazy:

[Oeditpus Rex]

129. If you wanted to get technical

I suppose it's valid. Many or most (maybe all; I dunno) SUVs are on truck frames, and many/most/all also get a pass on mileage by being classified as trucks instead of passenger cars — which is the only way some of them are legally on the road.

But then, what's in a name? It bugs some people when I call my El Camino a truck. I can see their point; I just don't agree with it. :shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

31. 1999 Honda Accord.

[ChoralScholar]

34. Hard to beat a Honda....

I'd like to buy an Odyssey for Elfrangel, but I'm going to enjoy having my vehicles paid off for a while.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. I'll be selling it in a few months.

Moving to NYC, where I don't need a car. :D

[ChoralScholar]

38. Yeah.. renting a parking space would be more than MY rent. EOM

[dajoki]

39. 2000 Nissan Altima

:applause:

[ChoralScholar]

42. Good mileage, I presume? EOM

[dajoki]

56. Yep, not bad at all

:toast:

[LeftyMom]

41. '97 Saturn SW1

just like this but with different hubcaps:

[ChoralScholar]

45. I didn't know they made a wagon.. that's pretty cool... FWD or AWD? EOM

[LeftyMom]

48. It's FWD

Saturn didn't make an AWD vehicle until the Vue, though now they also make a AWD version of the Relay van.

It handles surprisingly well in snow though.

[ChoralScholar]

49. I had a FWD 89 Camry, with larger than spec tires

that I would put up against my 4wd KIA any day.

RIP '89 Camry. The engine lay in pieces on the side of US-412 in Northeast Arkansas.

[LeftyMom]

54. I've had oversized tires on it, but it's cool with spec tires too.

I jsut went bigger because the spec tires are pricy and a bit hard to find for some reason.

[ChoralScholar]

59. When I bought mine, it had 15's instead of 13's.

Apparently it had been in a wreck, and they got whatever wheels they could find.

[XemaSab]

65. And liberal stickers all over the back

:eyes:

[LeftyMom]

68. We can't all have bones on our back dash.

:evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

69. It's an ANTLER, not a bone!!!!

I found it in Crescent City on one of the more interesting days of my life...

[texas1928]

44. 2005 Mustang

[ChoralScholar]

46. I love the homage that Ford paid to the 60's mustangs

when they redesigned it.

[texas1928]

47. It is a sweet car.

I love it.

[Ava]

55. i drive a gas-guzzling Jeep

it's true, i'm a hypocrite :cry:

[ChoralScholar]

57. not necessarily.. what kind of Jeep?

if you drive a Commander, we might need to talk. :)

[Ava]

63. a '97 Wrangler

sort of like this, except yellow, and little worn in because i got it's used:



i honestly don't know much about it, i left that up to my brother since he is the car expert in the family.

[GRLMGC]

61. 1992 Toyota Paseo

I don't even think they make Paseos anymore. Poor thing, its gone through a lot. I need to buy something new and hopefully more gas efficient when I graduate from school. Its not a gas guzzler or anything but the tank is only about 9 gallons. I love my little car but its struggling to stay functional :(

[ChoralScholar]

62. I know that feeling.

When I went back to college, I sold all my nice cars and started driving a hand-me-down 1980 Chevette. It had 304,000 miles on it. I drove it until I used some excess student aid money to buy a 1990 Corsica right before I graduated.

[GRLMGC]

64. I have some money saved up

So i'm thinking of buying something new. I'm not sure what the job situation will be, however, and I still haven't decided if I want to go to grad school

[AwakeAtLast]

140. Ha ha! I drove a '79 Chevette back and forth to BSU in the early '90s!

:rofl:

By the time I got done with it, you could almost do a Fred Flintstone because there were no floor boards left!

Ahhh, memories! :hi:

[XemaSab]

66. 1996 Toyota Corolla

It's a hand me down... Currently serving as a field rig.

"Lived in" is a good look for a house, but notsomuch for the car.

Oh, and I'm coming up on 200,000 miles! :bounce:

[unsavedtrash]

71. 1991 Mazda Miata

Not mine but looks exactly like it.

[Clintmax]

72. 2006 Nissan Sentra 1.8S Special Edition...

Exactly THIS one...

[Briarius]

73. 01 Volkswagen Golf TDI

Silver 4 door. Diesel and gets about 48mpg average :bounce: :headbang:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

74. Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Can't afford the insurance on my saab or the gas in the Jeep. It sucks.

[taterguy]

75. Gary Fisher mountain bike

[Random_Australian]

76. My feet. n/t.

[ET Awful]

77. '05 Honda Element

And no, it's not ugly, it just looks like it was made from legos :P

[Madrone]

87. Hey ET -

Have you noticed that every day it seems like there are more and more E's one the road? It's the new cult phenomenon I think. I live in a small town and there are at least 6 other ones I recognize consistantly, and I see even more random ones.

[ET Awful]

92. Definitely, I see them everywhere,

I think they breed and reproduce when we're not looking :P

[ChoralScholar]

100. And... they're stackable :) EOM

[ET Awful]

102. LOL . . yup, if you collect enough, you can make a school bus

:P

[ContraBass Black]

113. I'm getting there.

http://filebox.vt.edu/users/pacquah/matchbox/honda.htm

[Ohio Joe]

78. 2002 T-Bird

[bigwillq]

80. 2006 Nissan Altima (nt)

[nini]

138. I have a 2005 Altima

I love it.. :D

[seemunkee]

81. Mini

[B3Nut]

82. 2006 Kia Rio5

5-door hatchback, popular body style in Europe. Averaging right around 30mpg in mixed driving, still breaking it in. Mine's got the auto and power package, cruise isn't offered from the factory but an add-on is in the works. Same deal with the new Hyundai Accent (same chassis/drivetrain). Love the car, very agile but decently smooth on the highway for a little car. I can rival small SUV's in cargo room with the back seats folded down, too.

http://www.kia-forums.com/index.php?&act=garage&CODE=14&type=garage_gallery&id=928

I wish Ford would bring the Fiesta over here, it's a sharp small car...ditto the new Euro Focus, nicer than the US one which is getting long in the tooth. But Americans need to see the value in small cars again, I think the increasing gas prices are doing just that.

Todd in Beerbratistan

[Derailer]

83. 89 Ford E150

it has 110 thanks to my battery+solar panel setup but no wet bar sadly :(

yet

[progmom]

85. two cars in our driveway

one of these:


and one of these:

[XNASA]

86. 1993 Acura Integra LS 2-door hatchback.

White with blue interior. 5-speed. Only 76,000 miles. Mint condition except for a few rust spots around the rear wheels that I'm going to take care of soon.

I just got some new 7 spoke rims and a fresh set of Bridgestone Potenzas too.

She's sweet.

[Bassic]

88. a 2002 Hyundai Elantra.

I'd actually like to get a small pick-up to be able to haul my band gear more easily and also get me a camper.

[LynneSin]

89. Different hubcaps and a DU sticker on the back

[RebelOne]

90. 1999 Ford Taurus station wagon.

Believe it not, I bought it with my Rottweiler in mind, so that she would have more room in the back when I put the seats down.

[bikebloke]

91. A Gas Guzzling Bicycle

Pretty much a custom touring bike, since the off-the-rack bikes are made to last a year or two. Otherwise, it costs more to replace chintzy parts as they wear out after a few months. At least as often as I'm in the saddle.

[LibertyLover]

93. I drive a 2005 Mini Cooper

and my husband drives a 2004 Honda Element. We have to laugh at the Honda commercials now that refer to the Element as a truck. Anything less truck-like is hard to imagine. We also have 2002 Jeep Liberty for hauling the trailer when we go to SCA camping events, need to haul mulch or whatever from the garden center to the house or the step daughter needs to go to IKEA to get furniture for her house. Most of the time it sits in the driveway. Come to think of it, so does the Element. My husband uses it around town to take the kidlet to pre-school, gynmnastics or food shopping and errends. Otherwise, we drive the Mini.

[azmouse]

94. 2000 Camaro SS

[Alien spawn]

95. wow! prices must be low!

:sarcasm:just means our economy is 'perfect' eh, republicans

[ChoralScholar]

99. I actually paid 4395 for the Voyager

two years ago. I got them to knock off 500 because the A/C didn't work (I knew what was wrong with it, and they didn't)

The Kia was 8995. Still got a while to pay it off yet.

[Burma Jones]

96. Infiniti M45

[RubyDuby in GA]

97. 1997 Honda Accord SE

208,000 miles on her. That car is the bomb!!!!! I see absolutely no reason whatsoever to ever own anything other than a Honda.

[lizziegrace]

124. 1994 Honda Accord

with 150,000 on it. My last Honda (1989) had 177k on it when I sold it to buy this one in 2001. I won't own anything else.

:hi:

[RubyDuby in GA]

156. I knew someone out there would know exactly what I was talking about

Love my Honda! :hi:

[flamingyouth]

98. 2000 Volvo S70

[Initech]

101. 2001 Pontiac Grand Am (made in America)

Yup, I own one of the few GM cars made in the last five years that was actually made in America.

[Katha]

103. 1993 Buick Park Avenue

13 years old and still in fantastic shape. Looks great too!

[FunkyLeprechaun]

104. I don't have my own car but I borrow and drive these...

My parents' cars: 2002 Toyota Highlander and a 2000 Subaru Forester




My sister's car: a 2005 Toyota Corolla



and next month I'll learn how to drive in my fiancé's car in England, a 2006 Fiat Panda 4x4:

&width=150

We're looking at cars for myself. My fiancé wants to get me an earlier version of the Fiat Panda.

[maveric]

105. 2006 Mustang GT.

And I love it.

[In_The_Wind]

106. That all depends on the weather, my mood and how much I have to bring home.

A Ford F150 pick-up, or a Honda Goldwing Trike, or a Chevy Tracker.

[nickinSTL]

107. Here are my 2:

I meant this post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5037016&mesg_id=5040005

to be replied here, not there. :blush:

[XemaSab]

125. I was thinking more about hitting people than deer

Deer typically make bad witnesses.

[billyskank]

126. I was just illustrating

how cautious I am! ;)

[XemaSab]

127. Where did you GET that anyway?

:shrug:

[billyskank]

128. Get what?

:shrug:

[XemaSab]

130. A European DU front plate

[billyskank]

133. Thanks, for the compliment

Although I know my photoshopping skills are actually quite mediocre. :pals:

[XemaSab]

134. You don't really have a DU front plate?!?!?!

www.freerepublic.com is looking for people of your bent. :grr:

[billyskank]

135. I am not bent!!

Just a little crooked, maybe. :cry:

[XemaSab]

136. it's a metaphor

:pals:

[billyskank]

122. I'll have to be extra cautious

;)

Actually I was quite proud of myself managing to avoid a deer that walked foolishly across the road right in front of me, in the dark, while I was driving home. :)

[JCMach1]

154. Peuegeot 307SW

Cool French car!

[Jamison]

155. Something like this.

It's a 1994 Acura Integra GS-R. Still runs VERY strong with over 200,000 miles on it & it's pretty easy to work on.

I'll drive it till it dies b/c it gets a good 30mpg on the highway.
