Question What kind of car do you drive or wish to own?

[clickypens]

the Sierra Madre? Did you have your badges?

I'd never heard that, but that's pretty much how the Federales act. what's that from?

"The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" It's an old Humphry Bogart movie.

That of course is one of the most quoted lines in movie history.

Just picked up a BMW 335i. Their first twin turbo in quite some time... had a few probs , bad ECU and fuel injector went in the first 2 months of owning it but nothing since then (fingers crossed). Loving the car, but BMW's service is nothing what you'd expect... shoulda bought a Lexus =)

The best car of that era was IMHO the Lamborghini Countach...

If you ever wondered where Lucas got the inspiration for the Star Destroyer...

That was my dream car (in black) as a teenager...

I managed to get my license (by 1 point!) in 1990 but lost my nerve and never drove again. (I suppose I will have to try again one day, but learning to drive as an adult is daunting.) Don't own a car (could not afford one). I really think Melbourne has the world's worst drivers (rude and aggressive)! I loathe, despise and HATE SUV's/4WD's with a passion (they turn drivers into arrogant bullies) - there is a plague of the abominations on the roads now.

They're the only way you can get to see beautiful homes like this

Let me limit the SUV-phobia to my own vision of hate : A SUV, like a VW Tuareg or Audi Q7, driven by a male tie-suffocating manager phenotype, who looks around nervously in his car like a hunted animal, despite sitting in the best battleship bridge on the highway. you know, this kind of seat, where you should have automatically a satisfied smile, looking down at these slow compact cars that you will one day crush below your huge tires, if you just want to, while listening to Beethoven.

And who also has to drive close to your from behind in a highway crossing, despite his car being already on the edge of the physically possible in such a curve.

I like SUVs, when I don't see them on the road - and sadly, most SUVs and their drivers are exactly like the SUVs in the Pixar movie Cars.

I don't mind SUVs, but I happen to live in a small town where lifted trucks are commonplace- they're ugly, obnoxious, and look like if they were in an accident, all the people in the "losing" car would be instantly killed. I can't say that the drivers of them are any better, unfortunately.

Beemers and Mercedes are the ones I hate. I always see them parked next
to a red curb labeled "NO PARKING FIRE LANE" I don't think people that
drive these things can read.

Alfa romeo 146 Turbo diesel engine

no is my car but is the same , in another colour

 

[n122vu]

2004 Chevy Cavalier, 4 dr, Silver, 2.3L 4 cyl., 80k miles, 30-35 MPG average, 35-38 MPG at interstate speeds (70 mph plus).

I traded my Cavalier in 3 weeks ago for a 2003 Ford Mustang, 3.8L V6, auto, 60k miles. Getting 25-28 MPG average. Haven't had her out on the interstate yet to check the mileage at speed.

Hope this counts, I don't drive but,

my Dad drives a Ford, Crown Victoria LX

and my Mom drive a Dodge, Grand Caravan

 

[Mantis]

I drive a 2004 GMC Envoy with a 4.7l i6 engine. Before all you SUV haters jump on me....I have a good reason for driving an SUV - I use it for hunting/fishing in some really remote/off road sites around the province of Ontario. I do drive it as my every day vehicle as well but I bought it with recreation in mind.

Getting a parking space can be a pain though!

(Come on, someone was going to post that eventually, so it might as well be me!) :rofl:

The way things are going, you'll probably be able to pick one up from NASA this time next year during their closing down clearance sale! :rofl:
