I don't know anything about cars. I have a Subaru Outback because it has room for me to fully extend my legs.

Wish I owned a car for weekend getaways with the fam and 75lb pitbull

johnnytheboy 02-16-14 03:36 PM

i live in texas and dream of being car free one day....unfortunately, the way it's so sprawled out around here it would be very tough.
i love bikes, but i also love being able to hop in my car and cover 70 miles in an hour.

Used to own a '68 Saab 96 , V4 4 stroke with tranny designed for the 2 stroke 3 cylinder, motor..

Freewheel bearing ... so I could coast down slopes , never taking it out of 4th .. 30 mpg easy ..

Only had to feather the clutch to start in 1st.

Favorite car: C5 Z06 - Used to own a few sports cars but the need for gas mileage got the best of me

Cars that piss me off: Prius - Don't know why, just really dislike them.

JeremyLC 02-16-14 04:24 PM

1. 1997 Mazda Miata that needs new brake pads and rotors in the back, and tires up front. (guess what I'll be doing next weekend! :-/ )
2. Favorite? No, though I have always lusted after the Lotus Elise (notice a pattern?)
3. Those driven people with their faces glued to their cellphones. :notamused:

Mumonkan 02-16-14 05:13 PM

i have a hulking pile of **** thats known as a 2000 ford focus, the door handle doesnt work and neither does the window. it has a leaking waterpump and the valve cover gasket needs to be replaced, it also needs new tires. also recently the radio doesnt work either

i hate my car.

id love a wrangler or a defender, and my dream car is a 67 shelby cobra

johnnytheboy 02-16-14 05:16 PM

favorite car that I've owned - my GS

rex615 02-16-14 05:48 PM

1. I drive a company car, an 07 Camry SE - good for "business" car - fleet manager told me my average fuel consumption for the last 25,000 miles was 29.6 mpg. Amazing, considering the way I drive.
2. I recently acquired a car I have wanted for a long time: Scion Xb first generation (2005). Love it, fun to drive, very roomy and sips fuel very daintily.
3. Don't hate any cars - a$$hole drivers on the other hand....

GromCake 02-16-14 06:29 PM

1. don't have one, sold it for a bike

2. vw vanagon. the eternal struggle, I want to live car free but I want a sweet ass van too

Sweet truck I got for 250 bucks, had to repair the whole front end/replace ignition and clean out the homeless smell in it(they were sleeping in it). Notice the super smug share the road plates.

I work on cars and the only cars I hate are people who think they have a nice car when it's just a BMW 328i

1. Here's my 1991 318is E30 BMW and some crappy tilt-shift..
I've driven this for over 8 years and it has never broken down on me. bombproof.

2. Not a car, but I'd love to own a vintage BMW motorcycle.
Here's a R69

3. I really hate big vehicles... of any sort.. no exceptions.

to be fair i dont have anything against the focus itself, just mine. cuz it sucks.

few years ago i had an 08 ducati monster 695, by far my favorite vehicle i ever owned. had to sell it to buy this pile of garbage focus cuz dad totaled my previous hand me down saturn

GMJ 02-16-14 10:24 PM

I sold my POS '01 Monte Carlo over the summer.

Its still too cold to bust out my CB650.

Higher Class 02-16-14 10:35 PM

'93 Chevy G10 "shorty" cargo van... keeps everything dry, and there's enough room for me to sleep. Saves a good chunk of change on race weekends.
I guess the Mercedes Sprinter van would have to be my favorite car.
Cars that piss me off... hm. Smart Car? At least the US version. Tiny and expensive with less than 40mpg. Give me a break. It would make sense in a cluster**** urban environment, but I see a lot of them around here (sprawling town of ~120,000). Why not improve your gas mileage, comfort, passenger capacity, and storage space with a Prius or equivalent?

Leukybear 02-16-14 10:43 PM

what car do you have?
Between my wife and I, there's a '07 subaru wrx sti with a built engine sitting on coilovers & a relatively modified '13 audi s5 with a recently added '14 rs5 grill.
In the back of the garage there's a '97 mazda rx7 that has a blown up engine that I've been working on and off of.

what's your favorite car?
R34; the only thing stopping me from feasible owning and driving one is the man.

which cars piss you off?
Ford Mustangs because of the tendency of their drivers having popped collars and exaggerated adrenaline levels. And the oversized golfcarts called Priuses

Errr light & compact with a good power to weight ratio for great acceleration and handling.

agreed, theres nothing smart about them besides a marketing ploy

the gas mileage isnt better than your avg german sedan, it takes ****ing SUPER, and if it gets into an accident with any regular american car over 6 mph all occupants are gonna be pink mist

Leukybear 02-16-14 10:52 PM

Well they're just derped up mercedes afterall... :rolleyes:

Sixty Fiver 02-16-14 10:52 PM

Nobody owns a Pontiac Fiero ?

:D

Sixty Fiver 02-16-14 10:59 PM

My '93 Sentra... it's a little battered and will need some bodywork this spring and has 250,000 km on the odometer.

It is a bombproof little bike hauler and a car that has crossed every pass in the rockies in good weather and bad, been to the west coast several times, and taken me back and forth between here and Portland repeatedly with nary an issue.

Despite our cold winter temps it never fails to start when you turn the key and is one of the best winter cars I have ever had... it rolls around on Nokians when there is snow.

http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/rando...993sentra1.JPG

I paid $1.00 for it and might have put $500.00 into it for new front brakes, a new battery, a little exhaust work, and a new tie rod end.

Sixty Fiver 02-16-14 11:03 PM

Smart cars also piss me off... they do not get much better mileage than my Sentra and I can't forget the Prius.

Favourite cars were my Thunderbird turbo coupe and my '75 Toyota Land Cruiser... they were both bulletproof and while one would light up the tyres at 60 kmh, got great mileage, and handled like it was on rails the Landcruiser would go anywhere although it would not go faster than 110 kmh because of the low gearing in the tranny.

Taking the roof off the Land Cruiser in the summer was a no brainer...

i'm a sucker for fox body mustangs...
