Is anyone here a car pony? If so, what do you drive?

I'm not really into cars, but I currently drive a 1991 Mazda Miata and I really like driving it a lot. 

 

Oh nice! I love it too, since I've got a 1990

 

Have you done anything to it?

 

I do like my cars.

 

I currently (as I post this) drive a 2010 Kia Rio Hatch.

 

My car in the future I am hoping to get is a Toyota GT86 (any year really but just with the low km/s or miles on the engine). That car or Mitsubishi Evo VIII :D

 

I like those but I wish they designed them as a convertible initially... 

 

Lancers are cool though! 

 

A car person? Me? Nah. I don't really know anything when it comes to cars. I just know which ones I think look cool!

:lol:

 

As of now, I drive a 2001 Nissan Maxima.

 

Nissan's are good. What kind of cars do you think look cool? :o

 

 

2012 Ford Fusion (28K miles) & 2003 VW Passat (160K miles) with a replaced engine because the first one died.  Random reference photos for model and color.

Both are nice looking sedans! I don't mind a small sedan, but those are a bit too big for my taste. That might change if I ever have a family >.<

 

 

I own a 1997 Acura Cl 3.0l. This model is the premium edition. Acura produced a few of these models, so I don't see a whole lother where I live, and I work on cars for a living lol

Oh? Do you work at a shop or dealership?

I drive a 2001 Hyundia something. For some reason I've never learned the actual model xD

 

I've known a few people who do this, but its honestly a good idea to at least know the model in case you need parts/repairs

I work at Firestone complete auto care. As a service tech.

 

Ah, nice. Do you enjoy it? Is the pay good?

It's alright. I don't get paid hourly, I'm paid flat rate so when I'm not working on a car I'm not getting paid. Sometimes we are slow and sometimes we are busy so it's on and off.

I used to be a tech, I can relate.

I gotcha. I couldn't really imagine doing that kind of stuff myself. I've got two cars I've gotta keep alive in my life and that's about it tbh

Oh yea it can be rough can't it?

It pays the bills atleast. I just had to take mine to have some gaskets and stuff replaced that we don't normally do where I work. Cost me $700. Thank goodness for federal tax refund.

Out of curiosity- if money were no object, what would your Dream Car be? I'm torn between a 1958 Buick Roadmaster, a 1950's era Chevy Bel Air, or a 1967 Ford El Camino.

My older sister actually gave me that car for free when I turned 18 years old. It was a really generous gift!

 

As for cars that I think are cool... Probably this one:

(Please note that I don't know if ths car is real or not)

 

 

 Looks like a Lamborghini Aventador with a whole bunch of neon stuff.

It's like the second family car, so I don't really do muchw ith it except throw in petorl and make sure the oil and stuff is ok. 

 

I looked yesterday, it's the Hyundai Accent, 2001 model. Grand, reliable little thing. Severely underpowered. Though I think as it turns out we're replacing it with a 2006 Volkswagen Polo - which despite being a smaller car will actually be better :P

Oh I like accents

But yeah hey if it's cheaper and smaller that's better in my eyes. I love small cars...

The aventador is one of the models. Really pricey, v12 engine, with formula gearbox transmission. Great sport cars. Not really a special edition, just lots of neon lights installed on it in that picture.

Yeah that annoys me. I don't consider it an antique but you could get antique plates for it. No thanks, those plates are ugly

Most states have a standard "historic vehicle" plate with looks like a modern set of vanity plates. Or, some US states allow you to use their state plates of the correct vintage for your car, so for example, if you live in Missouri and have an 89 Miata, you can get an old set of 1989 Missouri plates and have them registered to the car. Rules same as with the normal historic plates.

This is what mine would have to look like.

 

I'm not a fan
