What Do You Drive?

[spike]

Bleah. Trucks and SUVs, I hate trucks and SUVs. Gus guzzling wastes of metal in my opinion. I drive a 97 Saab 9000 CSE Turbo(it's a stick also). Well, I did drive, I think my dad is selling it

Let's see....my 2005 F-250 DIESEL (read it again....DIESEL YOU IDIOT), get 25 mpg.  Show me another vehicle that can pull 17,000 lbs that gets that good of fuel economy.

My 2004 Freestar uses gasoline and gets around 25 mpg also.

My 2005 Mustang GT with a 5-Spd is actually rated at about 25 mpg on the highway as well.

Also, I will be trading my 04 Freestar in for the 2005 Escape Hybrid when it comes out here (mid-2005 is what it is looking like).  It gets 35 mpg IN THE CITY.  Eat that bitch![/size]

Good, buy the hybrid. You work at a car dealership, why do you need something that can pull 17,000 pounds? What are you ever going to run into that is 17,000 lbs and that you need to pull?

My boat, moron.[/size]

Shit. Well, um, you don't need a boat because you could um, swim?

You are losing this debate like Kerry lost the Presidential debate earlier.  Give it up.[/size]

You need 3 cars? and you need to be able to pull 17000lbs?

I saw that Arnold Swartzneiger  (htf do you spell his name) was going to do something usefull with himself and push through some laws in florida meaning that these future "SUV's" are going to have to be a lot less poluting and meet much better environmental standards. good man

Too bad Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Governor of California, NOT Florida.  Ugh...dumb Brit.

I agree, i love BMW motorbikes. But for the love of god Elan, get rid of that Dork Shield and get a sporty, sleak viser for your bike.

2000 toyota prerunner.  And it's finally paid off.  MoOOt

I drive a '89 Honda Accord. Hell, it's not a bad little car. At least I didn't have a $75K Range Rover bought for me like some people at my school.

As for bikes, I'd have to go with sportbikes. My friends got a '01 Honda CBR 600 F4i. That thing is a fucking beast. It's like a Civic on 2 wheels weighing like 400 pounds.

My mother's "PIMP" '96 mitsub. lancer station gli. 1,6 gasoline, 14mpg when she drives, less when i do. Manual everything, crappy sound, horrible looks, disgusting "rims" (pimp plastic), but it's got 200k km (convert that one yourself), yet still a pure, and as-new drive.
still got the basic lancer chassis though, screw electric gizmo's. I like driving, feeling what the car does. Parking an SUV (yes, i have), is like fitting a square peg into a round hole, with all kinds of useless electronics.
Occasionally I do manage to drive a crappy red toyota corolla. Hang in there lothario.

     Camry update: I'm still driving the same '96 that I was driving at the time of my original post in this thread. For something like nine or ten months now, it's had no reverse and no fourth gear in its automatic transmission. For the past four months, it's had no rear brakes (only had enough money to replace the fronts), the driver's side exterior door handle is broken in half, and three days ago, one of the two vertical metal supports for my seat back snapped at the base, so now I'm holding myself up with the steering wheel.

     ...yay?

So uhm, Loth, how often do you drive this deathtrap on wheels on a daily basis?
Personally, wouldnt go within a 100 mile radius of your, um "car".  No offense intended.  

And i dont have a car, im 18, going to college, and i ride a -BIKE- damn right.

Dont tell me it restricts mobility either, within a few weeks once i heal up from the little date with the pavement i had a few days ago, im going to be taking it 120 miles over a mountain pass to get home, instead of paying 20 bucks to get a ride on the bus.  Stupid, crazy, and silly, yes.  But once i get over the pass and start coasting downhill for about 50/70 miles, makes it all worth it, since the grade is absurdly steep for most of the way.  

[Mr. Lothario]

      Almost daily. I deliver pizzas with it. ~9 months with no reverse, pizza driving four days a week, and I've only gotten stuck twice. Not too shabby, I'd say.
