Im just curios as to how crappy my car is compared to other people on the forum.

 

I own 2 cars

The first is my daily driver and its an 12 year old ford focus (yes it actually dose have a moustache) Its done 147,000 miles and is falling apart I cant complain though I got it for £400 (about $650)

 

The second car is was a 1994 Subaru liberty rs wagon It was a restoration project I started 2 years ago and never finished it is currently in about 4 million pieces in my back garden.

 

so if you drive what do you drive?

 

ps after searching through my computer I cant find any photos of the focus and I deleted all the Subaru pics ages ago Its pouring with rain outside and its also night so Ill try and get pics up tomorrow

I have a license and a car. I drive a Toyota Avensis of the year 2000. Quite nice and hasn't had a lot of bugs during my use since... I think I've had it since 2007.

 

I also used to own a 1990 Nissan Sunny during the years 2002-2007. Unfortunately the age brought up rust on its sides and I had to trade it away for my current car. Quite good car considering its age.

 

Here's an image about my current car:

Yes, I have had my license for almost 6 years now, and I own a Toyota Rav 4. Nothing fancy, but it's been a very good car so far, and has been great for going back and forth between school and home at the beginning and end of vacations. Plus, it's quite compact, so it's pretty easy to get into even tight parking spaces, which proves quite useful at times! :)

2005 Mini Cooper. Black. Dual sunroof. In fantastic condition. Manual drive.

 

I gotta say, the Mini is probably the most fun I've ever had driving a car, even more so with it being manual. And, since it's mini, it's easy to park in tight spaces.

 

EDIT: I have a picture of it, but it's on my phone. So I'll upload it in a little bit.

Been driving for two years and I still use my first car, a V reg (2000) Fiat Sciecento. It's an absolute pain, I've installed a new radiator, a new fan belt, had to get a new manifold for the exhaust and had to get the bonnet resprayed as when I bought it had loads of stone chips in the paintwork... and yet I love it to bits and its drives no nicely. Doesn't use a lot of fuel either as it's only a little 0.9 litre :)

I have a license. I have an interesting relationship with driving. I hate the act of driving. It gives me panic attacks and I really have no ability to drive late at night, or for long distances. However, I love the freedom that driving gives me and the places that it takes me.

He's not wrong! My friend has one of the new 600's and even they seem to be a royal pain. I still need to do a few jobs on mine like respraying the right wing as the body is so thin I accidentally dented the metal somehow and I need to tighten the handbreak! Lovely little cars although now I have the money I've been looking at the Suzuki Swifts.

i currently drive a '96 ranger 5 speed, 2wd, 2.3 liter 4 bangers, gray and black interior, extended cab. mostly gutless and slow, but it gets around. im currently doing a head gasket job on it and a extensive tune up on the engine, so once its back on the road, it shouldnt give me an problems for awhile. needs more bass though...

I've had several rigs since getting my license at 18 (now 25), and I finally found what I was always looking for. I need to get a second vehicle so I can finish restoring what I currently drive and have something with better mileage, but I won't be able to afford anything anytime soon.

 

Anyways, my first was an 88 Jeep Comanche Eliminator, then an 86 Comanche X, then a 91 Comanche Eliminator, then I had a 96 BMW M3, a 95 Talon TSi AWD, and now I have my dream vehicle a 74 Jeep Gladiator (the truck from Tremors basically). I should have kept the 91 Eliminator since it got 25mpg, but I'll buy another someday or buy a 4dr Wrangler. Never again will I own a car because I found them way too close to the ground, only exception will be a DMC-12.

I drive, but I don't have my own car right now as my 1992 Honda Accord's transmission broke down and it's a pain to pay for it to get fixed. So I sold it to a junkyard.

 

Currently, I'm using my mom's 2002 GMC Sierra to get to school mainly. I love trucks. Hopefully soon I'll obtain one of my own, they're so easy to drive in imo.

I drive a 2012 Toyota Camry. It's a pretty good car. I can plug my iPod into it and listen to music so it's super awesome ^_^

 

Here is a picture of what it looks like. The exterior doesn't look that great, but the interior looks really good.

Do you even drive?

 

The only car I had was a rusty '89 Ford Taurus. I fell asleep at the wheel and rolled it nearly two months into ownership.

I have a Toyota Rav 4 as well. The car is god-tier. It's been through 3 different accidents from previous owners, it's got 200k miles on it, it's got me for a driver, and it's still going strong. You just can't stop that car.

I drive a bright yellow '88 Honda Prelude which has no antenna, no radio, no air conditioning, no carpets, no back seats, no fog lights, no spare tire, no odometer, and occasionally no speedometer as well. (Some days it decides that it's better for me not to know how fast I'm going.)

 

Do you think it's time for a new car yet?

no, its time to do an engine swap. all the added weight seems to be gone, so now it needs more power and a better suspension. ive driven a few stripped down cars, and theres nothing quite like feeling every bump and vibration as well as hearing everything working. its tough to find a clean older prelude, so if you have one, then make it special.
