What do you drive?


Star Fox Runner

Recommended Posts

I just got my first car 2 days ago! I'm very happy to say the least!

It's a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire, its red. Roughly 73,000 miles on it, 4 cylinder engine, front wheel drive, automatic transmission. 22 miles to the gallon in town, 30 miles to the gallon on the highway.

I'll put a picture up later.

So for those of us who have cars, what do you drive?

1991 Dogde Caravan it's got no air conditioning but it still runs so that's all that matters.

I used to drive a 1997 Dodge Caravan, that year statistically was among the worse for maintenance concerning Caravans.  I had it until it got destroyed.  Right now I drive a 2000 Toyota Camry, 4 cylinder engine.  The fuel mileage is awesome :D

I have my beloved '91 Suzuki Bandit 400. She's still a work in progress, with transmission gears and a new stator going in next week, but even as it is, she's crazy fast and unbelievable fun to ride. A 400cc inline-4 that thinks it's a 600.

I know, it's not a car, and technically, I don't drive it, I ride it, but I figured I'd post anyway. :P

Congrats Runner!

As a daily driver, my dads 2001 Mitusbishi L200 (Triton in the US, Warrior in the UK). With a 2.5 litre diesel with around 100 horses, it's not exactly spritely. But it's a lot better in every single way compared to the Toyota Hilux (Tacoma) I wrecked early this winter. Also, there is something special about pick-up trucks. Can't help liking them.

As for my own car, I have a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette which I'm slowly restoring. It has a 383 V8, or 6.3 in metrics, churning out about 350 horses. It has a T-top, which means that you can take off two panels in the roof, and save for a small beam running right down the middle, drive under open air. It also has the front and rear bumper from a later model, as I think it gives a lot more agressive look.

On the negative side, it has a TH-350 automatic, which I plan to replace with a 6-speed manual when I eventually get bored with the engine currently in it, and chuck it out for something beefier.

Some pictures of how it is now, or before I started working on it that is.

Mmmm.... Corvette. <3

Right now, I'm driving a 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle, but I'm getting a new car soon. :) Which, hopefully, if I get what I want, will be a Pepper White 2005 MINI Cooper.

A hearse.  :trollface:

I wish I had my own Hearse to drive. :yes:

I don't own my own car, but I do have access to a 95 Ford Mustang

...it's in crappy shape after my sister borrowed it for a long time, but it still barely runs...

I hate it, but it beats the crap outta walking.

I drive an 83 AMC Eagle Wagon

She's got a 258 and a 3 speed 998 Auto. I put a 1.08 bore Motorcraft 2150 2 Barrel carb, a TFI Ignition (Upping me from about 18000 volts to somewhere around 40K)

I get about 20MPG on the street, but when I went to VA I was averaging 30.2

I love my car, but I really want something different, with a man pedal, and a V8, looking into an 83 SX/4, it is still a 6 cylinder, but has a 4 speed, I could sway a Gen III AMC V8 into her easily if I can find a crossmember from a late mid size AMC that came with a V8

The 4th picture is where they get good

My father bought it for $500 (Pesos,

he had to fix. It works fine, however

I hear dieasels get pretty good mileage. I'd still prefure the vett if i could fit in it.

Nice Corvette Apser. It doesn't matter what year it is, but a Corvette is my dream car! Particularly the Stingray!

And thanks!

I drive a 1991 Chevy Blazer, has 104k+ miles on it, maybe around 10 miles in a gallon in a city, probably 12+ on the interstate. It's a rust bucket, but gets me where I need to go, so no complaints here :)

Thanks Runner. The "Stingray" coining lasted till '76, so mine's one year late for that. The third generation was also known as the "Sharks", because the designers used predatory sharks, like the great white, makos and others, as inspiration for its lines.

Perhaps you meant the second generation? When you spoke of Stingrays? Those are also gorgeus to behold.

I love those older Blazers and Jimmys actually. So full of personality. I've been pondering with the idea of getting one and stashing it up "redneck" style, but have neither time and space for another project at the moment.

My parents bought a 1995 Lincoln Continental, that car is terrible! They put $500 into fixing the power steering hose or w/e. Bought a new oxygen senor, it still runs like shit. I love how my dad says that Ford > Chevy, yet his car compared to mine runs like complete shit :)
