Whats your Ride?
 

I drive a 2005 honda accord, 2.4L I-4. You?

When my Father gets a new vehicle I'm geting his old one: a silver 2001 Ford Expedition with enough miles on it to go around the world twice. Almost broken AC, bad brakes, and the seatbelts aren't that great either

2005 Toyota Corolla. I've done some personal modifications on it with the help of some friends. Better suspension, good tires, switched out the battery that came in with someone else, added more head lights.

I really want a Ford Explorer, which is pretty much a smaller, more controlable Expedition. I hate driving though, so it doesn't matter

1998 Nissan Maxima...Even though it is 10+ years old I have no desire to get a new car.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" right?

You got it.

That's why we still have the Expedition. I've seen it go up almost vertical inclines, tow things it had no business towing and generally take tons of abuse and it's just now starting to malfunction

1994 Mustang GT, also use to drive a '87 GT but it's parked right now.

Damn, those are way better than my falling-to-pieces Ford

Cool, I have 50,000 miles too, well, 47, but at least i could almost go around twice:p

My father used to go to Canada (a long ways away from Texas) on company business, which is why it has so many miles on it. Now that things are more stable, he flies instead of driving

A 1985 black Ford Sierra , my first car (i´m 19). Btw, my father has a 2004 Renault Kangoo.

85? how is that thing intact?

I don´t know, I bought it a year ago and painted it. I love to rebuilding old cars, next month i´ll reupholster the interior with red leather (seats and doors). Btw, it uses CNG with a big cylinder in the trunk, cheaper than the gasoline.

2005 Kia Rio.

Believe me, I'd much rather have a Ford...

I can see why

I currently have a 2002 Chevy Cavalier.

What I want is a 1970 Chevelle Malibu SS 454

We got the Expedition washed today and it looks brand-spankin'-new.

I really want a Toyota Prius, a third generation one in a silver color. My Aunt owns one (she lives in San Antonio and is a city counciel woman) and she calls it her "Silver Bullet". The best part is that it's fuel efficient so I'll get more mileage per gallon. I would also want to own a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. I like it because it's sleek, black as a panther, has a bird on the hood, and Burt Reynolds droved it in "Smokey and the Bandit".

Isn't buying a prius like giving up your man card?

That's what idiots who are obessed with thier manscuality think. Buying a Prius is like doing someting good for your enviorment (like planting a tree or recycling). You're saying that Priuses are for women, homosexuals, metrosexuals, and men with femiene personalities?

Actually, there's some debate on that. Check this out:

But anyway, I do agree that buying a Prius has nothing to do with masculinity.

So, buying a Hummer means that you´re the king of testosterone? I hate big and useless cars, that´s make me a girl?...

No, hummers suck. Can we all admit the minivan is girly, at least?

I don't like the prius, hybrids end up being more expensive and worse for the environment in the long run to. You know when the battery's replaced it just goes into a landfill and seeps acid into the ground, right?

Cadillac Escalades are some of the worst polluters on the market, and are just a tiny bit more useless than Hummers. If you want a SUV, get a goddamn Ford instead of buying what amounts to the Chauchat of Sport Utility Vehicles

The escalade is a luxury suburban with a new badge and that somehow makes it way more expensive. I think the Ford Excursion is worse though, just gotta say.

"luxury SUV's" are stupid, wasteful and shouldn't be sellable. If you get a SUV, get one that's actually good for something. Hell, a real SUV would probably cost less an be more fuel efficient

If you have that attitude, don't ever have a big family. Or any family, for that matter. People buy minivans because they have kids, not because they care about what's "girly" or whatnot.

The link I posted discusses this.

I never got the "minivans are needed for a family" thing. A 4 door car works just as well. Most families have just 1 or 2 kids. I can drive around with 3 or 4 of my friends in my accord. The minivan is just a marketing scheme.

I agree. You can totally fit as many people that you can in a minivan as you can in a Expedition

Actually, when minivans first became a trend in the auto market in the 1980s, the average American family had 2-3 kids.

Kids are fussy and like room to play around and keep lots of stuff to play with, especially on long road trips. That is the main reason people buy Minivans.

Except the mileage is worse.

Dude, I rode from North Kentucky to Gulf Coast Texas a few times in a little four door sedan when I was a kid. It isn't that bad.

Do you know what solipsism is?

Can you sleep on your back in a minivan? No, but you can in an Expedition. I can see how a minivan can be useful if you live in the 'burbs and never go into the country or city, but it's useless anywhere else

Nope. And I don't care, but go ahead and tell me.

It means that you think that everything that's good enough for you should be good enough for everyone else, and that nobody has any right to argue. In other words, it's basically a hallmark of a superiority complex.

Actually, it's not uncommon for kids your age (since your profile says you're in high school). But it is kinda immature.

Considering you (almost surely) aren't even paying for your own gas, don't you think that's somewhat inappropriate?

A green 1998 Ford Explorer, engine smokes, but it runs.

Priuses aren't girly (and just because the extremely unfunny Jeff Dunham says so, doesn't make it true), and when people drive by me in Hummers I yell "Viagra" because I assume people who drive Hummers are compensating, and could use it to help their poor endowment.

And solipsism is basically being self-centered and egomaniacal. Lets play nice guys, these are hurtfully eloquent words.

Only because you asked nicely

I'm not saying I think S&Wshooter is actually solipsist, just that he's kinda acting that way.

I have friends (my own age) who talk the same way, and I don't think they're egomaniacal. Just outspoken. But I do tell them that they'll be perceived as self-centered if they talk that way endlessly in public. Which is a valid constructive criticism.
