still have no idea how my 1987 hyundai got 40+mpg (and gas was under a dollar) and i was still able to get up to 100mph and almost 25yrs later......

only thing cars are good for is hitting me

Yeah man, my Elantra is the ****. Gets like 30 mph and is at over 100,000 without any major failures/expenses. Also, the back seat can fit both my bikes!

Happy to hear it, my Tiburon is running steady and can fit two bikes as well.

i wish my car could get 30mpg!

30+ in my 85 Fiero.

Yum, poor man's ferrari; no offense meant whatsoever, it's a common saying.

I don't see many of these on the road anymore and lot in the backyards or driveways of people in a non - drivable state..... do they supposedly break down easily?

I drive a 2001 Volvo XC70 and get 20 mpg if I'm lucky. That's something of a confession right there.

Additional confession: I went through the trouble of boxing my bike up in order to take it to Baltimore via Megabus, and only ended up riding it for about four miles to go a used book store.

I used to know a guy that had 4 of these, one for each season!

None taken. I read in a Car and Driver or something of the like from back in the day that the handling was no better than a Civic... but was safer than a Volvo.
I seem to see a lot of them in that state too. A little tear seems to make its way out.

This is ridic.

Petition to change the title of this thread.

+1

^^^

to add to the current theme:
I drive my car WAY more than I ride my bike. However, that stands to reason as I spend way more money on car parts and I am a better driver than I am a cyclist. Something about setting off down an empty, winding mountain road at dawn or at dusk with the top down just strikes me as pure bliss.

What should the new title of the thread be? From "confessions" to "Wallowing in Automobilage/Sin"?

Oh yea, I forgot to add I am totally gaybones and I drive a girly convertible.

I really dig the Specalized Langster with the sloped top tube and everything.

I sold my Subaru Legacy GT wagon last year and - except when I occasionally drive Angie's WRX - have been pretty much car-free ever since.

Yeah yeah I know, I dunno why but I really just like them and when I Get back stateside if I can find one at a LBS I may even purchase one (Double cringe I'm sure) But hey I'm ok with that

I REALLY miss my 240sx.

of all the dum ass cars i had, i miss my MKI MR2 the most (even tho it spin like a top)

Those MR cars love to spin out, they're crazy.

I drive a gas guzzling SUV. I hate it, but free is the right price. It tends to sit in my 60 dollar a month parking spot for weeks at a time.

I'm ready to go roadie. Kit and all...

Except last time I rode a road bike I hit an island in a parking lot because I couldn't figure out how to stop.

The the lever thingies

Please get a CAAD 10

I want one really damn bad myself.

I got myself a caad9, and I ride kit and all, I like it way better than my fixed gear.

Really! Sweet! What component set would you be interested in?

They're up to 10 already :eek:? I bought a brand new CAAD3, doesn't seem like that long ago though I did get rid of it 11 years ago. I must be older than I think :o.
