What kind of car is your main mode of transportation?

[caledesi]

Poll question: What kind of car is your main mode of transportation?

Didn't have enough room for electric.

edit: had to enter an OTHER somewhere.

edit: removed Nash Metro...replaced w/ VW Beetle

[LeftyMom]

1. I have a wagon, but it's on the small side.

Not quite so dinky as some of the ones they're making these days, but it's a four cylinder, seats four comfortably or five if you're not going far and everybody in the back seat gets along.

[Maine-ah]

2. other

mid-size suv, Nissan Xterra.

[caledesi]

4. Maine - not enough room for all the categories. nt

[Maine-ah]

16. I edited to "other'

I must have missed that when I originally read the poll.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Other - Minivan

[billyskank]

5. Witchy!

:bounce:

9. billy!

6. Sportwagon.

I loves my PR5. 25 mpg on average, and I drive like a maniac. My Great Dane has plenty of space to stretch out, and since they only built it for a couple years, I don't see that many on the roads.

She kind of looks like this:

[caledesi]

12. Nice. Who made the car? Manufacturer. nt

[flvegan]

17. Mazda.

I think that they did a great job with her.

[tjwmason]

7. The kind with two legs.

I don't have a car - walk for most of the time, when needed bus, train or taxi (probably in that order of frequency).

[caledesi]

8. Other - No car and I am lovin' it.

No car insurance
No repairs
No high gas prices

Course, had to stop driving when I became disabled, and at first I was totally depressed, but that has changed. People are really generous about giving you a ride, plus I have access to a "disability van" for $2.00 each way.

[taterguy]

10. a bicycle

[DanCa]

11. City Bus

See theres an upside to not being able to drive. I save money on cut down on pollution. :D Yay having a chronic neurolgical illness pays off for once :D :hug: :loveya:

[caledesi]

15. I hear ya DanCa..same here. (neurological illness) nt

[JVS]

13. Can you give a more modern example of subcompact than Nash Metropolitan?

[LeftyMom]

18. Let's see

The Toyota Echo, Honda Fit, Honda Insight and the Chevy Aveo would all qualify IMO.

I have no idea what the heck a Nash Metropolitan is, but I'm only 25. :D

[caledesi]

23. I screwed up on this one. I was trying to think of the "new" Metro

which is a tiny car.

[caledesi]

20. Sub-Compact Examples....I will give it a try

VW Beetle
Kia Rio
Scion xA
Chevy Avio
Hyundai Accent

[JVS]

24. The current beetle is as big as a civic, thus compact

[Mutley]

14. A compact.

Get's pretty decent gas mileage. But even at these prices it's not good enough.

[Droopy]

19. I have a small pick-up

It's a 2002 Chevy S-10. I've always loved trucks and the little pick-up gives me good gas mileage while indulging my truck fetish.

[billyskank]

21. This is the actual skankmobile

[Mutley]

28. It's cute.

What is it?

[billyskank]

30. Hmmm, like you

It's a "Fabia", made by Skoda (they're Czech, but owned by VW). It's got a 1.4 litre engine, and can do more than 50mpg on the open road. :)

[Mutley]

32. ...

:blush:

So, in an off sort of way we both have VWs. :D

[billyskank]

33. Yes, it's basically a VW

VWs are good cars, but they are overpriced IMO. (Over here, anyway. I have no idea what they sell for in the States). But I can buy a Skoda for much less than a VW, and it is made with all identical parts. And the doors make a nice satisfying German clunk when they close. :)

[Mutley]

37. I have a Jetta

and it's cost was reasonable compared to other less expensive cars. We don't get the cool choices you do over there -- just the same old crap. x(

[tjwmason]

38. That's not a legal number-plate.

I'm telling the D.V.L.A. on you. :P

[yewberry]

22. The bus kind.

I'm pretty lucky--I'm on a bus line that'll go right into downtown in less than 10 minutes, and the bus line to work is only a 15-minute walk.

(But DANG, I got soaked yesterday waiting for the bus!)

[trof]

25. mini-van & mini-mini wagon.

Dodge Caravan & Ford Focus wagon.

[Initech]

26. I have a compact that gets pretty good gas mileage

21 city - 30 highway

[maveric]

27. 2006 Mustang GT.

What can I say? I'm in full-blown mid-life crisis. Its not too economical,25 HWY, 18 city, but its fun to drive and I've always loved Mustangs.

[auntAgonist]

29. I have a Pontiac Grand Am '99

I wish I could afford something better on gas though.

[deadparrot]

31. My Suzuki Aerio...

[caledesi]

35. Cool. How roomy is it? nt

[deadparrot]

39. It's actually roomier than it looks.

Plus, I'm short, so the person sitting behind me always has copius amounts of leg room. :)

It's a good car; it does what I need it to do: get me back and forth from home and school. Good mileage, too: I can do the eight-hour round trip on a tank of gas.

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Pacifica

:hi:

[Iniquitous Bunny]

36. We have a mini-van and a sub-compact.

I want to get rid of the van (only 19mpg) for a Hybrid Toyota Highlander. That's my plan in a couple years anyway.

[jakefrep]

40. 2005 Pontiac G6...

...Which category does that fall into? I didn't see a choice for "mid-size sedan".

[blue neen]

41. Mid-Size

Chevy Monte Carlo.

[brook]

42. My car:

A woman bought a new Lexus, and it cost a bundle. Two days later, she
brought it back, complaining that the radio was not working.

"Madam", said the sales manager, "The audio system in this car is completely automatic. All you need to do is tell it what you want to listen to, and you will hear exactly that!"

She drives out, somewhat amazed and a little confused.

She looked at the radio and said, "Nelson." The radio responded, "Ricky or Willie?" Soon, she was speeding down the highway to the sounds of "On the Road Again." The lady was astounded. If she wanted Beethoven, that' what she got. If she wanted Nat King Cole, she got it.

Suddenly, at a traffic light, her light turned green and she pulled out. Off to her right, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small sports utility vehicle speeding toward her. She swerved and narrowly missed a terrible collision. "Asshole", she muttered.

And, from the radio... "Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States...."

43. Main? 50cc Yamaha Zuma .. the other is a Mercury Mystique n/t
