For the winter, I'm driving an 02 Ford Explorer, but for the Summer my dad bought me a 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 that I'm planning to soup up. My dream car is probably a Ford Mustang GT 500E, one of those Carrol Shelby specials.

I drive a '90 Ford Tempo. Yeah, I'm up to me chest in tail.

I hate you.

I drive a 1994 Geo Metro (standard) hatchback with 3 cylinders, no air conditioning, and a tape player that only works on alternate Thursdays. Even the radio has crapped out.

Before that, I drove a 1990 Toyota Tercel (standard) hatchback that was so abused, by the time I got to it, it drank a quart of oil for every 300 miles, stalled randomly, and was going to cost $4000 in repairs.

Before that, I drove a 1980 Toyota Corolla (standard) hatchback that had been rolled and crashed a bazillion times by my mom, the body was literally falling apart around me. The seats were shredded, the AC blew only dust, the body was dented and various shades of pumpkin pie. Eventually it was sold for scrap, not because the engine died, but because the brakes had rusted shut and rates ate the wires while I was away at college. The engine was still perfect. Other than a slave cylinder and alternator, it's never needed anything more than an oil change (which I do myself).

God I miss that car.

Oh yeah...I hate you.

And my dream car is a 57 Nash Metropolitan convertible in seafoam green.

Your Dad bought you a new car...you bastard...other than the Corolla which was handed to me because Mom had other cars by then, I've paid for all mine. The Corolla was 16 years old when I started driving it. The Tercel was 10, and the Geo was 8.

You bastard...

*goes to stare wistfully at cars that can go faster than 35 up hills*

Haha, I know ivy, i'm a spoiled little bastard. But it's a Focus with a 5 speed manual trans that I'm goign to trick out.

I bought all my cars myself. My first was a

1985 Firebird...it was about a year-and-a-half old, and I got it off a guy who needed money quick for some reason. My parents put up half the money since they felt guilty for moving me to a new state before my senior year, but I had to pay them back.

My second car, I bought new and drove the hell out of. It was a

1991 S10 Blazer. I had a few company cars during the time I owned the Blazer but I kept it because it was handy and I liked driving it. (I won't count the company cars, but they were a 1994 Buick Skylark GT--yes, GT--and a 1995 Taurus, which was such a pussy going up hills, I referred to it as the Cli-taurus.) I'm glad I kept the Blazer, because I was too poor to buy a new car when I quit my last company car job.

I sold it in 2000 and bought my parent's 97 Bonneville. Yeah, I looked like a pimp.

It had the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in in a car, because they were adjustable 9 different ways. The panel for all the seat adjustments looked like it was designed by NASA.

Now I own a 2004 Saab 9-3.

I like it.

I ride the bus

and/or the train

Compensating much?

I drive a 57 Nash metropolitan that my dad gave me for High School Graduation. He said I would take better care of it than a new one because it was a little hard to get parts for.

My dad owns a car dealership (Ford), so my present car is:

2003 Ford Explorer in that color

Some of the nicest cars I've driven:

2004 Mach 1 in Azure Blue, 5 speed manual

2003 Red Focus SVT, 6 speed manual

And if I get straight A's by the spring:

mwahahahahaha!

This is the reason I don't read these threads, you never know when some wazzock is going to post some FUCKING FURRY PORN.

Rant over, here's what I'm driving at the minute:

I'm driving a tricked out STD turbo with twin engine crank shaft and dual overhead cam.

I have no idea what I just said.

I ride the bus because my 1996 Astro van (with no air conditioning and only intermittent heat) needs at least $2000 worth of repairs before it can be road-worthy again.

People crazy.

I drive a dark blue '96 Peugeot 306 Cashmere 1.4 that's provided by my employer

When I can drive, I'll share a car with my brother, probably a Volkswagen Passat.

I was riding an 18 year old model last night. Don't drive though.

1995 Ford Escort Hatchback 2 door automatic.

It's nothing special, but it's what I got.

It does have cool stickers on the back though. That counts for something, right?

...why do you have a liscense plate cover that says Lyndon Johnson?

1987 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. That's a pic of my actual car.
I once fit 8 people comfortably in the car, as well as 3 people in the trunk.

We had an 81 Caprice Classic...same body style..but ours had two-tone blue on light blue paint.

Dragon, that escort is in pretty good shape dude.

A silver 2000 Honda Accord.

A silver 2000 Honda Accord.

First car: '74 Plymouth Valiant. "Shitbox Dodge" indeed. I miss that car.

2nd car: '81 Toyota Corona. Sold for $800 in 1994 with about 220k miles on it.

3rd car: Plain white 1992 Toyota pickup, std, plain white cap on back. Could park it anywhere and people would assume it was the HVAC guy or whatever.

Two old Econoline vans in there somewhere. Band wagons. Last one threw a rod through the engine block in 1996. Total loss, like everything about that band.

Now: 1993 Toyota Corolla Wagon. Had 30k-something on the odometer when I got it a few years ago. Now over 100k.

Dream car: '68 S/S Barracuda, 426 Hemi. Failing that, '68 Dart, same engine. Pass anything but a gas station.

My first car was an '86 Dodge Diplomat affectionately known as the Brown Buffalo. It could comfortably hold at least 8. HUGE fucking car. Never broke down on me once.

My current car is a '92 Mercury Grand Marquis, white. LS. Big pimpin' yo... or at least big elderly-liking in. It was a hand-me-down. Can't say no to a free car.

A 2000 Saturn. Gray.

Before that I had a 1994 Bronco. I miss that piece of shit. On my second date with my wife, it caught on fire. I drove it for another year after that.

Yes, Broncos are truly awesome.

My dad is Mr. Lear. He gave me one of these

when I got my braces out. Then I totaled it, and he gave me another one. My dad is the best!

I drive a 96' Chrysler Cirrus.....It has a flat and I've been driving on the donut for 4 days. I'm going to get a new tire tomorrow. Also, it's badly in need of a wash.

So I wake up this morning and it turns out the other tire I thought was just low on air is also flat. So I drove to work on 1 flat and 1 donut. Both on the same side of the car. Then during my lunch break I went and got 2 used tires put on. 70 bucks.

Huh. You should get one of these:

I just got my first brand new car less than a month ago.

His name is Strongbad.

He is a 2005 Chevy Aveo LT 5 door.

i drive a Nissan 350z. and i added a spoiler and rims. i'd post pics, but... the camera is currently being updated

I drive a 98 Mercury Mystique, which was finally paid off in May. Only 71K miles on it too. Before that I had a 80 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Those are the only two cars I've had in the last 9 years.

Before that, however, it seemed like I went through at least 1 or 2 cars a year. My first car was the only one ever bought for me, a 78 sky blue (eww) Ford Pinto (double eww), which caught fire in my parents driveway when I was 18.

Other cars I've owned, almost all of which cost less than $1000 :
80 Chevy Malibu
76 Ford Gran Torino - Landbarge on wheels.
84 Ford Escort
80 Chev Monte Carlo - My favorite car, old but reliable, no rust, clean, and drove like a dream. This car was used to jumpstart 3 cars (including a brand new Ford pickup) one morning in February 1994 when the temp was -28 F.
85 Olds Cutlass Ciera 4 door - This is the car my ex talked me into trading in the Monte Carlo for. She said we needed a "family car".
79 Chev Camaro
83 Olds Delta 88
90 Geo Metro - One word describes this car...yuck.

I know I'm forgetting at least one or two.

Got the 'old camera out and thought I'd show you my ride.

BRUM SUCKS!
