What do you drive?

[simply1]

2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in Black. Something like this




Had a v-8 4Runner that was probably one of my favorites to drive, also a chevy avalanche that I also really liked for the flexibility. At some point as I off-road-ify this one, I'll probably look at some sort of nicer performance sedan and use this for some rock bashing.

2013 Chevy Cruze. For the hell I hear Chevy's catch, it's been a really good car to me.

just bought a 14 cruze today. cruze cousins

Got a sweet pimping 2006 Dodge Caravan that needs a new muffler. You'll hear me coming. Husband backed it into our other car when it was less than a year old and we have the back bumper dent still since it would be over $1000 to fix. Will drive it until it dies, has somewhere between 225,000 and 230,000 miles on it. Don't be jelly of me.

I'm just going to leave this here...

I know. You're jealous.

It's okay...you can admit it.

subby WRX. bug eyed 2002.

I feel like anyone born before 1960 probably knows how to drive a stick.

You'd be surprised. I didn't learn how to drive a stick until I was in college...it wasn't required in my high school. And the only reason I learned is because my fiance had a little Pinto Runabout. If I wanted to drive anywhere, I had to learn.

My mom would fail your assertion.

I am 25 and drive a stick. My little two door 1997 civic is still running great. I want a new car and my wife wants me to get something more family friendly. We will see how I feel in the fall.

 

[bigdaddykane]

1995 mazda something, it's a piece of **** but having a car is better then not having one.

Is that kind of like Eskimo Brothers?

My little Suzie Cruze has been a good car for me in the last year. No regrets in buying her.

 

[Bobber]

I drive a 2012 Dodge Durango with about 80,000 miles. It's been pretty solid. Had to replace a couple rear shocks and that's been about it so far.

My wife has a 2007 Honda Odyssey with a little over 80,000 miles and it drives like new yet. Really hopeful we'll get another 10 years out of that vehicle and the way it's going, that should not be a problem.

I've had a couple Luminas an Impala, and Ford Taurus over the years put 150,000 plus miles on every one of them with very few problems.

My mom would fail your assertion.

Duh. It was implied that women born before 1960 didn't drive at all. Why the hell did we allow that to change?

Go ahead, try to stop me little man.

Good luck with that...

I have owned nearly 80 cars in the past 20 years or so....no joke. Everything from cheap poopboxes to sports cars and trucks. Currently in my stable:

1998 BMW 740il. Great trip car....built like a tank. Remarkable car for the $$.
1999 Camry. Work beater...has 262k miles on it. Still runs great....ugly and homely to most but beautiful to me.
1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Little hot rod...beefed up engine, turbo, etc. Hauls ***. Used to autocross this one.
1991 Nissan 300zx twin turbo. Great sports car...very solid and fast. Better than every vette made up until the C6.
1994 F150 ex cab 4x4. Drive in winter and tows quads and stuff. Great old mans pickup.
1966 Cadillac Calais coupe. Great cruiser....going to airbag it this summer. Fun to take around town.
1979 Chevy Malibu coupe. Going to make a street/drag car with this. Currently sounds fast, but aint.
1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR4. Great winter car....remarkably fast and solid at speed too.

Girlfriend drives a Subaru Outback. Solid winter car, and decent driver for her. The awd is nice going over mountain passes and in Oregon mountain roads.

Darn I figured I would have the most miles in this thread. My 99 Aurora has 261,000 miles, has had no major mechanical issues, and is running like a champ still. Darn good for a US manufacturer.

Forgot to add - pop-up headlamps are probably the dumbest design ever...

True fact. I'd like to change them out on my '04 Corvette, but I don't want to drop the $1500 for the conversion kit either (that's unpainted). Rock and a hard place...

2009 WRX Sedan
2015 Honda Pilot (wife's)

I had a 2004 WRX prior to the 2009 and my wife had an 2007 pilot before the 2015.

The WRX is just a fun car for the money. And somewhat practical being 4 door and AWD. Gas mileage is terrible in town. Interior is hard, cheap plastics. Driving experience, though, it nice. Stick is smooth and quick. Steering is very responsive.

The Honda is great. The 2007 was nice. The 2015 is even nicer. Not a huge fan of the new exterior styling but the interior functionality was the best of all 3 row SUVs (mid-size) that we looked at. Quiet and comfortable. The electronics layout is a little confusing and not the best I've seen. Surprising coming from honda. I thought Nissan had a better system in the Pathfinder.

I'd like to get a Subaru BRZ but still waiting for an STi version. If that ever happens...

I have a 2006 Mazdaspeed6. Great car. AWD, 6 speed, turbo. Running winter tires makes it a very capable winter driver. Deep, heavy snow is the only thing it can't handle.

My wife has a 2011 Ford Fiesta. Very economical and it's been pretty reliable.

 

[CyBobby]

'04 Grand Prix. So many people have the same exact car as it

Gran Pree U say...Yes I have owned 3 of them and one of my golf partners has owned 5 count'em FIVE of them.

Okay, carvers, you probably have me beat on at least some counts. My Dodge Grand Caravan is 2002, 125,500+ miles starting to show some maturity under the back doors. I consider rust like age spots -- almost definite you'll get some, but try to wear it as a sign of pride, not a calendar. At least one of our friends has said we can never get rid of the tailgate van. I think he's delusional, but if it helps with our football record I'm all for taking donations to make the switch happen faster than my bank account currently allows.
