What Do You Drive?
 

Just purchased this 1994 Ford Bronco. I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone drives.

I think those Broncos from the early to mid '90s are really cool. 4WD?

I drive a Toyota Camry XLE

Yes to 4WD. I use to have a 1994 Bronco and now I have another one. I absolutely love them too!

A car.

And my wife crazy.

Daily - 2011 Ford Fusion SEL or 2013 Ford Mustang Convertible

...depends on the weather

And if it's really nice and we don't have to go too far then this:

2010 Stang.Ill finish payments this year and then I want a blacked out Camaro.

Everyday a '04 Dodge Ram. I also have a '39 Buick and a '70 Nova that I don't drive everyday.

When it is nice out I ride this 1994 ZX-6. I bought it a 3 yrs. ago with 2,100 original miles on it.

I live and work in the crowded big city and don't have a car. About 20 restaurants, 7 coffee shops, 3 grocery stores, 10 doctors' offices, two vets, 2 drug stores and more within two blocks of my home, and I can get to and from downtown via bus and boat. I have a valid license and do borrow a car once in a while.

If it counts, my neighbor two homes down owns a jaguar. I've ridden it it and fine it rather cramped.

1999 Lincoln Continental. I love it. Have been told many times I should get a newer car, but it looks good, travels like a champ and actually gets around 25-27 MPG on the highway. Leaves me more money to spend on cards.

I drive a '09 Honda Civic. My drive for work varies, so I had to go with the best gas mileage and warranty for the buck. BTW, the newer Civic's are awful to drive..

The wife drives a '02 Ford Escape, which she immediately covered with Hello Kitty everything(Stickers, seat covers, floor-mats, steering wheel cover, license plate covers and whatnot), to ensure that even in the most dire of situations, that I will not drive it.. I guess any plans of using her car for work, on days with a lot of snow, went right out the window.

2005 Mazda3

1970 C-10 Chevy short bed truck. Nicely patina'd but all new running gear, bucket seats and ralley rims.

I hope you are feeling better. Obviously you remain both funny and wise. A few weeks ago I was in Seattle to see Mavis Staples at the Moore. Between the traffic, hills, one way streets, and parking fees I too would rather walk if I lived there.

I purchased a 2013 Camaro recently. After her car broke down my wife quit laughing at me long enough to confiscate the keys to "my mid life crisis". I am once again driving a faded, four door, emerald green, 1999 Kia Sephia. Like me it has a broken windshield, will no longer go into fifth gear, and struggles to go up hill. Fortunately, the wife sure looks good in her new car:rolleyes:

That's pretty good Mike. Me, I drive an '08 Accord.

I had a mercedes 500sl burgundy but just sold it on the bst auction site :rolleyes: im sad now ,,,have Chrysler 300 c hemi and a benz 550 sedan both bore me ,,I miss my stang 5.0:)

when I was in high school my friend had a bronco = we used to take the top off ever summer, was a lot of fun!

I Drive a 2013 Ford Edge

I recently switched from German to Japanese in order to put more cash into cardboard.

2011 Hyundai Sonata --- I love it!

Being from the Motor City it's all American labels in my driveway.

2001 F-150
2003 Lincoln Town Car
2006 Cadillac STS
2009 F-150

2010 - Hyundai Vera Cruz - Both of us
2012 - Hyundai Equus - Her
1979 - Corvette L-82 - Me (when the weather is nice.)

Stripped the tranny/motor on this 1973 Oldsmobile Omega CS this summer, and all else, including driver & passenger side glass/rear seat/carpet/dash/internal panels/ front wheel wells. Replaced the front end with a fiberglass Nova clip-on.

I'll get rid of that a$$ ugly shelby stripe paint and restore it to the original Omega yellow. After the engine/tranny is replaced I'd like it to weigh about 2600 lbs. @ 350-400 hp. I'll be under 12 seconds of fun.:D

Oh, right now I drive a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville.

Just bought my wife a new Honda Odyssey, so I'm driving her hand-me-over 2006 Acura MDX SUV. I was rocking a 2003 Ford Explorer............so....an upgrade for me too.

That Kawasaki should be named Buzz Lightyear........looks just like him!

My ride
 

2010 Hyundai Sante Fe

I like the Hyundai's

Tony

My wife has a Santa Fe as well. I didn't think I would like it because it was a "Hyundai" product and the reputation they used to have. Driving it sure changed my opinion about the car and the company. She hasn't had any problems with it and I would recommend it to others.

Since every group needs a tree-hugging electric-car nutjob, here's mine. Yes, it's purple, that's the price you pay when your 10-year old daughter goes to the dealership with you.

FWIW, had it over a year and LOVE it!

I also have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, LE edition, with the 274hp turbo engine. I DO have fun with the turbo!!!

Just traded in the MBZ for a Ford C-Max SEL hybrid. I've been driving it for two weeks now and I am thrilled with it.

When I'm driving to a tennis match or softball game I take the 1957 T-Bird for a ride.

When I'm taking my wife and 2 daughters for a cruise we take the 1960 T-Bird.

I am LOVING those old cars!

I drive a 1996 328is. Nothing fancy, but my buddy was the original owner back when we were in high school and I bought it from him in '04. Plan on keeping it forever as long as I can maintain the rust which is forming in all the wheel wells and the trunk lid and non-structural sub-frame.

This pic is about 7 years old. My kids have since drawn on it with sticks, hit it with baseballs, etc and seems to be a magnet for parking lot fender benders even when I park it far away from others, so its lost its shine. Maybe I'll restore it when they grow up and move out, in the mean time I'll just enjoy taking corners faster than I should :) One day I hope it will be my "vintage" car like ya'll have from your early days, before cars started parallel parking on their own, and changing lanes, and lights turning on automatically and keyless entry etc.

p.s. I love walking/biking around town when I can and bike with my 4 & 6 yr olds to daycare during the nice summer days. Have been THIS CLOSE to being car-less but just can't pull the trigger.

Hey Ted, do you also wear a hat with ear flaps and leave the blinker on? Just wondering...

Same situation as DRC until recently. My brother's wife was upgrading her SUV, so I said I would buy her old one. I couldn't remember what manufacturer, model or color it was, but he promised he would give me a good deal.

It turned out to have a grey interior, but other than that I was quite pleased.

Scott <=== lower-crust in most categories

I was able to ride in one of these last summer before they were released. I have buddy who is an engineer at Ford and was one of the main guys who worked on it. The one he had featured the self parallel parking where the car did all of the work. Pretty sweet!

As for me, I drive a 2004 Explorer Sport Trac. Just passed the 87,000 mile mark. I plan on riding it until the doors fall off.

Best,

Andy

2005 Subaru Legacy GT 122k on it. gonna have to run it into the ground although should be able to get a solid 5 more years out of it.

My fun car

My Cobb us worth more than my car...
 

And that is fine with me. For the first time in my life I do not have daily car envy, because the vehicle I wanted would not do well in my back yard...a Quattroporte in the Eastern Sierras...nah. So I drive a '96 Forerunner with 232,000 miles. Handles off-road just fine, gets me to Crowley (big trout) and back just fine. Scratches just add character, mud and dirt fit me just fine. Can't seem to hurt the guy. Everything looks okay and kinda works...like this beat up old fool.

Still, that Maserati....

P S. My wife drove Porsches and Mercedes for decades but they don't handle saddles and hay worth a damn. Drives a 2009 CR-V and asks me to drive back from Bishop after she has a Margarita or so.. seats are too short for me but handles mud and snow just fine. We are so done with SoCal.

Still, that Maserati, midnite blue....blowing up 395....;)

In the summertime its this bike.........but selling it if anyone wants it.....too darn fast

Nice Beemer! I've owned a couple Bimmers, but never a Beemer.

I am quite an unpretentious guy when it comes most worldly items, like cars, clothes, electronics, etc.

I can prove it by saying I've never bought or owned a new car in my 73 ys and currently am driving a 1991 Cadillac Sedan DeVille!

Just turned 130k original miles & still runs quite well. Still has the original muffler & exhaust system!

Only get about 17 mpg, the maroon finish is looking dull & scratchy, the automatic trunk lock is a bit balky at times, but the repairs are modest & it gets me back & forth to the golf course twice a week.

BUT---the BEST thing is---I've NEVER had a car pymt because my sister GAVE it to me several yrs ago when she bought a new Infiniti! She has spent more in maintenance & those damn low-profile tires in a couple of yrs than my Caddy cost brand new!

Hey Fred
 

I love those older Cadillac Sedan Deville's. A neighbor of mine drives one; and, it's fun to be in it for a cruise.

Practically all these current cars (BMW, Cadillac, Mercedes, etc.) look like some variation of a HONDA....and,
there's nothing wrong with Honda's (we have a Civic, and love it).

But, you would think if a car costing you 50K (and more), would have a more unique appearance.

:) I guess you and I are of the "old school" when it comes to cars :) I derive a lot of pleasure from cruising
in my old T-Bird's. My 1957 with its Thunderbird V8 gets 22 MPG when I shift into Overdrive.


Take care,

TED Z

Zamboni

Hey Ted--

Yeah, I've seen the pics of your beautiful T-Birds---Remember them well! I had my mother's 1971 Plymouth on the road for a few yrs in the early 2000's before I slid on some "black ice" just up the street & slid into a tree and a neighbors yard! Smashed in the door so I sold it "as is" to a guy who saw it in my driveway.

I LOVE not having car pymts!

1966 Barracuda
1971 Olds Cutlass convert.

Just bought it today....a 99 with only 50K miles, that's a little over 3000 miles ayear. Dirt cheap and A zillion mpg's/ perfect beach cruiser.:)

Sweet truck Dave. What year would that be?

Please post a pic of the 66 Barracuda. I have had a 66 Formula S for 30+ years. I bought a nice body for a project, sadly it is still sitting in the same place with nothing ever being done to it.

Will do! Just woke to find a few inches of snow. I was hoping to get her out for a few pics. I've had it since 1993, found in a barn. I thought at 1st glance it was an S-code, but was not. Came with many extras, including a new back window, and a new exhaust set, still boxed. It is a sky blue, with gold pinstripe and goldline tires. Will get some pics up asap.


Any plans to get your 66 going?

Had several different plans to get it going over the last 30 years. Even purchased an old 315 CI Hemi that was all rebuilt to put in it, engine now sits along the wall of the garage and has for 20 years.

Always loved that body style just life and more important hobbies have always got in the way.

It's an 06 (last year of the classic body style)

Get that beauty going, small steps. Even if it takes a few years, that goes by really fast. Mine has the 283 commando.I want to get a hemi in it eventually. Ive looked around last few years, and there are very few here in upstate NY,that would fit and are f$.

Nice. It looks great!

The last new vehicle was a 2009 Yamaha. It does great on this place.:)

Here are some sad looking pics I took today. My Dad owned a salvage yard back in the 60's-70's. I got the car as a real young kid for doing work on another car. It has set in this exact spot for 30+ years.

It is covered in snow but the Red Ram Hemi pictured has an automatic transmission with the adapter plate to but a 727 small block tranny to the old Hemi engines. It is sad to see these sit outside and decay. Wish I cared enough to do something about it.

Jeff ; your Monte Carlo....
 

What is the name of the color ? I have a '74 Javelin AMX that looks exactly the same hue ; it's from the factory listed as '' Metallic Plum'' ....MikeGarcia

I can see that bad boy going down the street, love the look. I will get some pics up, and maybe that will get you motivated to make that look like mine.:)
Get that engine inside, and cover that car...please, lol. Is it up on blocks? Looks like alot of its there.

Hmmm, let me check into that. I have pics of when i got it and stages of restoration. I have no clue how to put those pics[developed pictures,before digis] on the cp. Im not very good with the computers, lol. Its def. a metallic. blend, I will find out, damn its right on the tip of my tounge. :o Metallic Burgandy? No, that dont sound right. My parents have a 6 bay, and they are keep there 5 miles away. I will be over there this week.

Vehicles
 

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland or 2008 Lexus IS 250 are my daily drivers.

Drove Mustangs for about 15 years, the last being a 2006 GT.

Weather permitting, I will get over to mom/dads and undress the cuda for some pics. Hoping this weekend, it may be up towards 30. Yesterday and today's high have been about 6, with a feel like at -15. brrrrrrrrrr

savin' up!

'15 Mustang Conv
 

Took these photos at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Probably going to sell the '13 and buy one.

I can't even remember the last time I saw a Barracuda on the road :eek:

My FIRST car was a '66 Valiant :D
