What does everyone drive?

“..got my Toyota Matrix last month...after an eight month wait. Was supposed to be 4 months, but they ordered an automatic transmission for me by mistake (arrived in July). I refused it...so I had to wait another 4 months.”

“...one BIG project!”

“'00 Ford Ranger 4X4, 58,000 on it.
The most heavily loaded vehicle I ever owned, I'm getting spoiled.”

“2002 Honda Accord 4 dr. silver”

“1 - '98 Dodge Ram Van 1500

2 - '95 Buick Le Sabre - My wifes, but one of my favorites.

I'd like to get an older Jeep 4x4, so I can get to trailheads that have non plowed access roads. Something along a project Jeep, if ya know what I mean.

Speaking of: LOL @ Buddur!!”

“I have a new Subaru Outback that I love. I also have a Plymouth Voyager minivan, but the seats are uncomfortable for me. They give me a backache even on very short drives. The Subaru, however, fits great and is a pleasure to drive. Should be better in winter driving too.”

“1990 S-10, 120,000 miles, paid cash, don't need collision insurance, don't need to lock the doors or wash it. Saving the money for more important things, like retiring early :-)”

“Big Wheel(sans side brake)-approx 3000 miles-had it since I was 5-only modification is the extended fork I put on it during puberty”

“2001 Ford Ranger
Humvee
M-113/982
5-tons
Duce & a half”

“LyndyS, get one of those aftermarket backrest...the one's with the adjustible air bladder at the small of the back.”

“2002 Chevy Prizm. Exact same car as my last one (including color!) but this one has a moon roof. :)”

“I drive myself crazy!”

“2002 Bentley G series with leather and all options.”

“PFFFT!”

“Moon roof huh? I always wanted to see one of those in action.”

“2001.5 Volkswagon Passat, V6, 4-wheel drive, blue/silver, all sorts of toys...

Yeah, I like it a lot.”

“I posted this thread, sorry being a fng I didn't realize it was an old thread. Still driving the '79 Scout”

“2001 Subaru Forester, S model (with the heated seats, etc. - ahhhhhhhhhhh).”

“I love those heated seats.”

“I have heated seats too...just hasn't been cold enough to use em yet. Next time it is really foggy and chilly out here I may drive with the window down just so i can use em.”

“Right bongo, hasn't been too cold here in the east bay either (you're in the City, right?).”

“My wives new van has heated seats. Her friend said “you have to get the heated seats they’re great for cramps.” They just give a sweaty a$$. I drive a Subaru.”

“That should have said
They just give ME a sweaty a$$.”

“Martyb-

Yeah, I live in the city and commute down to Palo Alto...sometimes during the summer I'd just about cry when I got to Pacifica...sunny and 80 where I left and foggy and 59 where I was going...

I should probably know this, but what part of the east bay are you in? I used to live in Berkeley, and some day, I want to move back...I prefer the east bay, the fiancee prefers the city...

I have used heated seats in my buddy's car up in Tahoe last winter...they were great!”

“green 94' 5 speed mustang, dual exaust, 235/60/r15 kelly chargers all around, other minor mods

its my workhorse, my transport, and my racecar :p fun car though, and can dust most things on the road, holds its own offroad (for a 2 wheel drive, rwd) but thats all in the way its driven”

“'90 Ford Taurus.
'01 Klein Adept Race

tekapo, that's a sweet ride, the bike I mean.”

“jeep cherokee and eclipse spider 2001 (hmm or 2002?? I am not sure anymore)”

“93 Jeep Cherokee 108k miles”

“LOL!! I'm still rolling at that one, MustHike!

Thanks, Stanlee, I'll look into that back thingy. I never heard of such a thing before.”

“99 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 24k miles”

“'94 Corolla Wagon 144,000 miles. Great for hauling gear!”

“But her paint has faded significantly in Georgia's summer sun, she has developed a disturbing vibration/rattle at higher speeds and today she sported an ominous knocking noise from the engine on the way to work. She goes into the shop (again) tomorrow. We're shopping for a replacement but I can't help thinking, "Shop faster, shop faster!"”

“Bongo, I'm in Alameda - great place because it's real close to the City, yet in the East Bay. We lived in the City for a while (I was born in SF actually, grew up in San Mateo), but the East Bay is better for us now, especially for housing costs and child-rearing. Work in "Palo Alto"? Used to live in Berkeley, huh? Which side of Big Game are you on?”

“1988 Toyota Tercel, this car has nothing, you know how on your rearview mirror you have that tab that you can push or pull so at night the headlights aren't so bright... yeah my car DOESN'T have that! But it gets 40 mpg.

Also 1988 Honda Accord can't complain 196,842 miles.

1996 Honda Shadow 1100 American Classic, 100% manufactured and built in USA, HD can't say that!”

“MartyB-

I am employed by the team in Red (well, their hospital at least), but my heart is with the Bears...being an ND fan, I could never root for Stanford.

Alameda is supposed to be great. I have a few friends who have moved there and love it.”

“Yeah, I knew you were an ND fan, bongo, but I didn't bring it up, since, well, you know all about the coach hiring thing. Maybe we should make a pitcher of beer bet for next year's game.

I used to work at Stanford, too, for about 7 years after I graduated. Great place to work, as I think any college campus would be. "We" are due to lose the Big Game, so won't be disappointed if Cal wins. But college football is fairly unpredictable - that's why I like it.”

“Martyb-

yeah, the running joke in my family is that ND stole Ty and all Stanford got in return was me...

you are on for next year's game...I usually refuse to bet on teams I like, because they always disappoint, but that's a bet I am willing to take.

Agreed on the upredictability of college football...and rivalry games always bump that unpredictability up a notch...see ND/BC as a painful example (for me) of that...”

“Let's see, the ND-U$C matchup is coming up. That's one that our family always hopes ends in a scoreless tie!”

“I drive a '91 Chevy Corsica, w/ peeling paint and a completely trashed windshield. It drives, that's all I care for in a vehicle.”

“Thanks for getting us back on topic, ng! I was afraid I'd have to start justifying my 2-8 football team's existence....

Rox, my first car was a new '83 Tercel with "nothing" in it - great car! Copper color (I think they called it "metallic orange"). I see one of that year once in a while and always look carefully at it to see if it was my old one - it's probably still running!”

“Christine is a '93 Corsica. She recently rolled over 250,000 miles. I'll miss her when she's passed on to the great beyond. I just can't help but think that it's going to happen on the way home from work today, lol.”

“I've never understood the fascination some guys (and sometimes gals) have with cars...

But FWIW I drive a 98 Neon with 130,000 miles on it. I just hope it lasts until I finish paying for it. :)

I believe in driving a car until it drops. The cheapest car to drive is almost always the car you already own. As a man staring in the face of 20 years of college expenses, I am in no position to be choosy about my wheels.”

“Right on Fritz! Right on!

Skullcap, mine is heading toward 200,000 now. I think the death will prolly happen on one of my nights on a lonely highway back from school!”

“Whenever it happens, it has to be the worst situation possible. It's just the way these things work.”

“I agree. I felt her given out just a bit last night, I know it's right around the corner, but I'm trying to drive it until I have no other choice but to get a new one.”

“Yeah, that's what I'm doing too. I think I may be there, though.”

“I MIGHT BE EVIL LORD VOLDEMORT, BUT I TRAVEL IN STYLE.”

“I drive a 1987 Cavalier to work. My wife has a 1985 Caprice.
I've got two "toys" one being a 1969 Firebird 400 (w/455 CID motor) and the other one is a 1968 Coronet 500 convertible.

Hey nvc83 Wanna race...Wanna Loose? :)”

“ooh, a first gen f-body :o, id kill to have one of those, especialy with a BB like yours - is it original? is that the 455 superduty? got any pics? what tranny? is it all tubbed out, kept stock, or somewhere in between?

coronet's pretty sweet too, im just not much of a mopar guy, got a friend with a 72' new yorker with a 440 hemi, and that thing is nothing but trouble- he's eventualy gonna pull that 440 outta that boat and stick it in a cuda'

and yea, you'd hand me my a$$ on a platter

later,
-nate”

“I drive a 2000 Dodge Ram

Weezr drives, "me crazy"”
