The 'What Do You Drive?' Thread

My first car: 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix (April 11, 2005-January 26, 2008)

I really did like this car. It got 20 MPG for a V6 which I thought was good, but when I bought it in 05 gas was only 2 a gallon roughly. Also I crushed three deer behind the wheel of this bad boy (2 within 24 hours), and each time my car drove away almost completely unharmed. It had like 112K when I bought it and 153K when it finally met it's end. The final diagnosis was a cracked block, so I decided to just get another car.

Car 2: 2000 Kia Spectra ( Feb 11, 2008-Present)

Well, this car gets like 26 MPG which is an improvement, but after riding in a v6 for three years, it took some getting use to. The first night I had it, a wire snapped which caused some severe shaking. The dealership fixed it for free, but until about mid april, I had no confidnce in the car. I still really don't like it that much, but one of the upsides is that it only had 76K, so even if it only makes it to 150K (I drive roughly 10K a year) then it will last until I have a job teaching and I'll have enough cash to buy a Corolla or something like that.

Car 3: ??? Who knows, hopefully something that gets 60+ MPG.

White 1998 Holden Commodore VT 50th Anniversary Edition.
I haven't modded it much, but i did upgrade the rims, and added an awesome sound system.

Very smooth car, much better than my previous one (a 1993 Ford Falcon EB). Since i live a good hour and a half (~170km) away from the parents, i wanted something that was good on freeways, and so far this car even with its largeish (3.8L) engine gets a good amount of distance to tank.
I filled my tank (65L) the other day for about $96, and got nearly 700km out of it, which means it is running at about 9.8L/100km.

Not too shabby.

I needed a new car something chronic, after my last one died of a failed starter motor. My previous car had a bumper held on only with duct tape, due to me running up the back of a stupid couple who wouldn't go at a green arrow. It also had a dodgy door and side mirror due to a run in with a 1.5m tall Eastern Grey Kangaroo that happened to JUMP INTO MY CAR when i was doing 110km/h.

Stupid roos, worst animal to hit with your car ever.
Actually, i take that back. Wombats are worse. my mate hit one the other day, but since they have really bony asses they walk away unharmed but screw up your undercarriage.
 
By Friday I will be driving a metallic red Fiat Punto 55S, my first car, which I really cant wait for, since I passed my test in March, I've been driving my mums new Micra S, which doesnt really suit a 6ft+ man!
 
I used to drive a black volvo s40, but some high idiot crashed into it as he was going up my hill...

I wanted one of these cars since they came out, but I just recently found one I could actually afford. I've had a fair amount of cars, but I think I'll be holding onto this one for a while.

you know, not to say i don't believe your parents are going to buy you a $120,000 car that has to be imported from europe at a steep price because audi isn't bringing it to american dealers until either 2009 or 2010....... but i don't believe you......at all......
 
Well vespa, his parents must be fucking loaded...

I mean god you must have made them feel really bad to spend that much on a car for you....
 
i didnt say i was gonna get it anytime soon lmfao >_>

im just making them think about it but until then im getting my s40 repaired -_-

Hence why i cant drive anywhere right now :(

im bored
 
My First Post on the Site!!

I'm only 13 so i don't have a car yet....however, when I get my first car, it's definately going to be a 2009 Cadillac Escilade. People can call it ugly all they want, but I'll till love it. Unless of course by the time I'm old enough to buy a car they invent flying ones... ^_^
 
Just got this a couple of weeks ago, 2008 Focus. Not the most exciting car in the world, but it's still a brand new car.

is it the hatchback model? i really like that design and it does pretty well in the offroad rally circuits.

my insurance finally payed out (still in court for damage reparations with the drunk prick) and i got myself some new wheels:

and it only cost me 22K! leaving me a few thousand to play with (can you say bigger turbo? mmmmmmm tasty) its an '02 and black not blue. i get about 30mpg on the freeway too which is pretty decent for a car with lots of power. just autoXed it for the first time yesterday and i now understand why people love them.
