Title: What do YOU drive?
Post by: 1GoZoom on August 16, 2011, 01:37:14 PM
Hey folks.  I'm curious what kind of car everybody drives. 

My blue monster is called Florence.  2004 Mazda6S GT V6.  5-speed manual.

Comes with:
Climate Control
Sunroof
Sport Bucket Seats
Leather Steering wheel
6-disc cd player
17" wheels
power everything
Bose speakers (Yuck)

 Here are some of the things I've done to it cuz showroom stock isn't my style.  :P

Cams
Ported Heads
Headers
Cold Air Intake
Forged Pistons
Forged Rods
Upgraded Bearings
Upgraded Crank
Catless Exhaust
Center-stack Gauges
Lowering Springs
Sway Bars
New Clutch
New Flywheel
Underdrive Pullies
Eminence Speakers to replace the Bose
Short Throw Shifter


Its a fun little beast.  I dropped some cash into it, but I'll never sell it, so no risk of losing the investment.  That new motor is good for another 300k miles.  :D

Like minds.  I posted a thread about about what everyone drives a few months ago. 

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion - It's not a "totally" normal looking Fusion. During the final stages of assembly, they take 2 out of every 150 and put what they call the Apperiance package on them. My grill matches the paint, not chrome, it has low profile tires and 18" wheels. the interior is heavier duty cloth and white piping and stitching. I LOVE it. I have had it 13 months and have 7.700 miles on it now. I will NEVER sell it, since I am 42 it might be my last car ever.

I named it "Felix" because Felix means fortunate and lucky, which I feel I am. I won't do anything to it. I have SYNC voice activated phone and text messaging and audio controls with navigation. I will never modify a car again. I had a 1999 Toyota pick up and I did a ton of tricking out of it, $2,500 stereo and wheels and tires, then a week later it was stolen, I hadn't reported the mod's to my insurance so I lost my arse. NEVER again. I love the way Felix is stock.

The Jag keeps me busy.  She's needy!

Beemers are nice bikes.  I used to have a Duke 907ie but laid it down.  I had a couple scratches, but the bike was toast.  Wouldn't mind getting an older Beemer for a summer ride.

I have the use of a Chevy Volt for a couple of days (my company is testing them for possible use for our fleet).   It drives well and you don't realize it's an electric car.  Sizewise, it's pretty small inside.  I adjusted the driver's seat for myself and the back seat has almost no leg room. 

So, while it drives well and is really high tech, I'd have a hard time springing for one given its size and price ($40,000 before the tax credit)!

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were a Mopar fan.  :P  I've spent the summer in a 1991 Dodge Shadow Convertible ES Turbo-II.  Minus the automatic transmission and the fact it isn't running right, all is good.

I drive a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. I love it and it is a great car and very comfortable. I am tall so it works well for me.  I really like the high backs on the seats which is great for the back. It Also gets pretty decent gas mileage. My son drives a 2005 Dodge Ram and it gets terrible mileage. I debated whether to buy a truck or another mini van the last time I bought a car. I am so glad that I decided on a minivan.

I pretty much flip a coin as to which I drive for short trips....for longer trips, the Colorado wins hands down...I do have at the time of this post about 330,000 combined miles between the two
My favorite all-time...My 1980 Chevrolet Caprice Classic (God, the memories and the "firsts" I had with that car). Retired it at 272,000 miles in 1998. Drove a Ford Granada for two years prior to buying the Cavalier (what a POS that was :Xo!)

It's not that heavily modified or anything just a few small smart mods. 3 inches of lift to start so the 31X10.5 all terrain tires don't rub. Then I fabricated and installed my own buggy springs in the rear. That's it. In this picture my right front tire is about 2 feet off the ground.

2005 Mazda 3 s - "Winning Blue". Been my daily driver since I bought it new in Sept. 2005. Zero major issues. I'll most likely drive it into the ground. I was gonna trade it in for something new for my wife and the baby, but 2 accidents in the last year and a half (thankfully neither of which was my fault) have left it worth less than it should be.
I'm very happy with it. Gas mileage could be better, but that's a minor complaint. Been meaning to replace the stock stereo, as I'd kill for an aux input, but I haven't had the extra funds or time to spend on the upgrade. Soon enough, though...

I've done a lot of things to this truck from minor to major.  It was funny because I found one in a parking lot the other day with identical factory features.  Literally identical meaning down to even the specific font used in the design on the decals.  It was fun looking at it because it was like a time capsule and showed off stuff I had changed and forgot about.  Most of the big changes are inside the cab where I've touched just about everything and some things I even reshaped with bondo and fiberglass resin.

I just recently bought a 2001 Ford Courier XLT with a swag of extras. Today I took it bush for a play in the mud and must say, I am really glad I finally got myself a 4x4 and cannot wait to get out there and play some more!  >:D

Can any of you drive with the stick?
Learned to drive a stick, Austin Healey, also a VW Beetle with a stick.  My Father's Jeep was stick too.  Yes, lots of us
"Colonials" can drive with a stick.  Only problem I have had with a stick shift has been driving in the UK with the damn thing on the wrong side so I had to do it left handed! ;D  But "wrong" side also was an issue with the Norton motorcycle or so I've been told--I had a Triumph as my first motorcycle.

You Americans don't half drive some gigantic cars! Lol. Can any of you drive with the stick? That is all we have here.

Blanket statements are rarely accurate, BBCMark.
I drive a 1994 Toyota 4Runner, SR5 V-6, 212k miles on it...5 Speed, manual transmission.
Does it lack certain ammenities? Yes.
Do I love it? Yes.
Is it in pristine condition? Yes.
Is it paid for? Yes.
Do I plan to keep it for a long, long time? Yes

Does the Lovely Mrs. Schro have a new Chevrolet Traverse with all the bells & whistles? Yes.

FYI, she can also drive a stick (any sexual innuendos relating to TLMS are not recommended).

LOL I hope I survive these vehicles by a few decades - though the Expedition is SOLID.  Thanks  :)


And for the record, I had 5 cars prior to the expedition, and they were all stick shifts  O0 My first car was a VW Jetta w/ 125k miles, I drove it to 175k miles and totalled it...   The last one was a BMW 335i.

I hate borrowing or renting a truck every time I have to do projects around the house. With a new home, there will be plenty of need for a truck because I will be doing much landscaping etc...my self.

My toy is a 1990 Miata that is a dedicated track car.  This pic was taken at Summit Point.  I've since gotten a trailer to tow the car as it is a brutal ride to/from the track.  Gutted (loud) interior, full Spec Miata suspension and race seats are not conducive to a 46 year old driving 3-10 hours to the track.  I will start to pull it in the spring with my former DD, a '98 F150 (guess the color).

Title: Re: What do YOU drive?
Post by: Blitzed on December 28, 2012, 06:00:18 AM
How things change. Last April a tornado went down my street and took most of my house and the contents. While it left my car and my bike, it left them in pieces; I found one of two BMW opposing heads in a neighbors pool. Spring forward, new house-it had to be torn down and rebuilt from the basement up and also new transportation. During the interval that the insurance company was feeding, watering and lodging me-Thank You Marriott!-they also provided a car. That's when I found Enterprise Car Rental and the friendly guys there. They called around and got a Jeep Liberty that accommodated my height and was actually comfortable to drive. I still have it although I'm offered a newer, 2013 version. Of course I'm now paying for it-Chubb's lagesse wouldn't go on forever-but if it's  not an economy measure there are advantages. If I'm gone for a few days or weeks, I turn it in and get a new one when I return. I pay no lease, no payments, no down payments, they handle all the routine maintenance and even provide me with a membership in AAA. It's about $820.00 per month which, as I said is no economy but then think of what I'm not paying.I had the insurance built in my homeowner's policy and, because of discounts etc, that costs about $125.00 per month. Gas is currently about $2.98 a gallon and I'd have to pay that with whatever I had. The current iteration is navy blue-Ol' Gray got mashed in a parking lot-and I don't call it anything. Although I've now had it to the point that, were I to return it on a full time basis I'd feel vaguely sad, like parting from an old girl friend; It never was going anywhere but there was still all that history...

This may seem really stupid but...my accountant gave me the happy news that almost all of what I pay is deductible. Also, and whenever I want, I can "test drive" anything they have in their fleet. Iinitially I'd thought about doing that to "find" a new car. And there's this, in the not too distant future the local PD and the Highway Patrol aren't going to have any used Crown Vics with the Interceptor engine to sell. For the ultimate in comfort and long distance driving, you really can't do much better. (The Jeep has one almost fatal flaw-here in Kansas the short wheel base, high profile makes it tricky to drive in very high winds which are a constant of life here. Anything above 30 to 40 mph, and straight from the Souith or the North and I have to cling to the wheel like grim death. Speeds are very high on our local expressways so this becomes a serious considertation. Also, being passed by an eighteen wheeler doing 80 creates a number of vortices that would fascinate aeronautical engineers. It's actually easier to handle this configuration on my bike.)

It occurs to me that some may find my insurance very inexpensive. That's because I don't own the car, they're insuring only liability and some collision, a thing already psrtly covered by my household insurance. I also have other insurance policies wth the carrier and that, too, was factored into the price. As to the low gas....just lucky I guess, as recently as five months ago it was $3.99....

And-lengthily-that's what I drive and why......

Back in October I bought a new but leftover 2012 SuperCrew with the Ecoboost. Outstanding truck.

This is the first Ford I've bought in 30 years.  I had been driving Hemi Rams but Ford gave me quite a bit better deal this go around.  The first couple of weeks I wanted to take it back but now that it is getting  broke in the mileage is getting alot better and the power seems to be decent.  It's taken some getting used to but I think I'm going to like it.

Aw, Boxman!  Don't say that about yourself!   ;)

I have a 1998 Infiniti QX4 parked at my mom's house, since I drive approximately never in NYC.  I use it when not in the city.  It's a great car, incredibly reliable, and still in perfect condition (save a few paint scritches) 15 years later.  My family bought it outright and I got it when my mom got her new Durango, but she "steals" my car all the time!  I think it's just easier/more pleasant to drive.

My dad was a car freak.  When he died we sold his late model Jaguar XK Special Edition (don't recall which precisely), a 1988 Corvette and a 1968 Mustang Shelby in full working order.  I was as jealous of the attention he showed those cars growing up as some of my friends were jealous of their siblings.   He LOVED his cars.

One day about a year after I got my driving license my dad handed me the keys to his XK and told me he trusted me to drive it.  I was so scared I went about .25 blocks to the cul-de-sac on our road, turned around, went straight home, and never touched one of his cars again.   ;D

Hey Bella interesting post and that was quite the collection of autos  :)
Title: Re: What do YOU drive?
Post by: bella on March 30, 2013, 07:18:34 PM
Yeah it was quite an array.  Luckily we lived in the midwest where garages and driveways are ample!  We had a 3 car garage and a driveway about 1/5 of a mile long. 

The Jaguar was his "official" car and from a dealer, as was my eventual Infiniti and my mom's Dodges (she drove a Caravan before the Durango came out) but the Corvette and the Mustang were hobby jobs he took in and restored himself.  He was so into working on his babies that my mom put a phone line into the garage in case she needed to tell him to come home and be with his non-steel family.   ;D

He worked in the American automotive insurance industry which is why I think I got the Infiniti.  JD Power rated my vehicle the best of it's year in something or another and my dad really wanted it, but his 3 primary clients were Ford, GM and Chrysler.  So best to pass that Japanese thang onto your errant daughter--worked for me  ;D  Cannot have you or your wife turn up to a function in a Japanese car!

I'd like a Harley, but where I live...I just don't think it is a wise decision. The freeways here are just too crazy for a bike.

The Black M6 Convertible is a 2007, the gray M6 Convertible is a 2009. The X6M is a 2012 and the Beetle Turbo is a 2012. All have been fairly modded except the X6M.

Being in the poor uk economy I had to sell me Harley Nightrod to help pay my mortgage and buy a 15 year old Yamaha 600 fazer which is currently broken in the garage. The front chain sprocket came off and took the gearbox output shaft with it. Probably uneconomical to repair as the bike is worth £700 and the estimate for gearbox rebuild is £700. Time for a new cheapie.

My daily car is an 13 year old Alfa Romeo 147. 2.0. Lusso.

When it all comes together though the Alfa is a great drive. Sweet engine which has two spark plus per cylinder and has a sweet italian rasp.

It's just a pity it feels like its built from soggy cardboard.

I love the American muscle cars but with petrol currently at nearly £7.00 a gallon which is probably near $10 not very practical her in the uk.

There's a BMW 1200RS lovingly and longingly up on blocks in my garage. MS took away my balance although with a Beemer that's almost unnecessary. Other than that there's a Ford 250 Crew Cab and a Benz SUV of some model or another. I prefer large, tall vehicles to match my 2 meters. Decades ago in Sydney a buddy gave me a frighteningly fast tour of the city in his Lotus. I don't remember much save for having to go to a panel beaters to extract me......

Thanks SlyBeard! I've tried to keep in in good condition, and I am the original owner.  The engine is stock since it's my daily driver, but down the line I'd like to do some engine mods.  When I first got it I did upgrade the exhaust with a full Magnaflow Catback system, so it's got a really good sound to it, and it did add some umph.  Lowered, tinted windows, and some chrome and brushed aluminum interior accessories to give it add to the look.

2009 Hyundai Accent.  It has a manual transmission, which I really enjoy.  It also is about the last car left to have hand-cranked windows.  I have this phobia about power windows (you know, the frequent occurrence of plunging into a body of deep water, short-circuited, unable to open the windows, therefore unable to open the door because of outward pressure of the water--okay, I'm neurotic that way!).  The salesman apologized for not having power windows, but I was quite happy.  I still miss my Ford Festiva, which got GREAT gas mileage.  The accent, mileage is about as good as it gets without having a hybrid, which I couldn't afford.  I don't want to make OPEC rich!

Yesterday, 14 March, I took a step back and accepted delivery of not one, but two Ford Crown Victorias. They've been road tested and approved for me by the Kansas Highway patrol who put that first 70,000 miles on them so any flaws or necessary tightening have been worked out. The BIG Interceptor engine, cloth seats, place for a shot gun, radios, etc. Even though I offered money if they'd let me keep them, the light bar on to and the cage inside were removed. I was allowed to have the spot light and, although it's there, the siren has been disconnected. BIG interior, just right for long legs. (To give you an idea about long legs, I have a pair of custom made Wesco Engineer boots that I used to ride my BMW 1200. They are 22" inches high and do not reach my knee....) I suppose the delivery paint job will have to be redone-they just had their paint bay spray out any spaces and markings that would connect it to the Patrol. As to naming, One is Tattoo, the other is DILLIGAF. I hope these are the last cars I will ever have to buy but, to dress up my bet, I've found a guy in Oklahoma who but out the remaining Crown Vics at dealers, has they stored in  a former airplane hangar and watches the price for each one sold go up as the years past cessation of manufacture disappear over the horizon. So, in a pinch....I know where to go although by then what he might ask for "clean machine" might  make buying a Bentley a better bargain.....

I commute 25,000 miles a year and put on another 10,000 miles a year going places so my daily drive is a 2006 Chevy Cobalt with 161,000 miles.  I bought it used about five years ago with only 6,000 miles on it.  I plan on driving it until one of us dies!

I also have a 2007 Miata Retractable hardtop.  I have always owned a convertible - those hardtop cars are just a passing fad.  They will never catch on!  When I finally get to talke the Miata out of storage I am afraid that I will regret going sly.  I have always loved the feeling of the wind tearing through my flattop!

I also just purchased a 2003 100th anniversary edition Harley Davidson Road King Classic.  I won't ride it until I have taken the rider safety course.

I just  picked up a Black 1972 Ford F100 Ranger XLT. The previous owner was a bit of an autorat so the engine (Edelbrock 302 V8) and transmission are less than a year old!

It's got a little rust at the bottom corner of the doors, but clean otherwise. It's the "styleside" short bed package. I'm planning to redo the interior as I'm able and it's missing the molding down the sides, but that's all stuff that be done as time/money allows.

It's nice to have something that I can work on at home, without needing to hook it up to a computer to repair.

The Magna is my preferred drive having modified it from stock over a couple of years and 75,000 miles, but have recently handed the keys to my wife in favour of the Camry due to the lower mileage.
The Pulsar is my wife's old car which we keep as a backup.

Unfortunately AND fortunately my company (The HeadShavers Club) was growing pretty fast right around the time I was enjoying my motorcycle.  That coupled with having a family/kids took precedence and I was forced to give it up.  However, with the kids being older now and having a great group of people to work with, who pretty much run the company for me ... I am now in a position to ride again.  I used to have a GSXR600, CBR600, GSXR750, and GSXR1000.  Now, I would LIKE to have either a Campagna T-Rex (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy7bEzD06GA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy7bEzD06GA)) OR a Polaris Slingshot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGtB3B-Gikc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGtB3B-Gikc)).  Gotta start saving up now.  Been wanting one of these for a long time and I am determined to get one.  :)

I had an amazing Infiniti QX4, 1998 model.  My father bought it right before he died, and I got to drive it to school once or twice.  It had maybe 10,000 miles on it when I finally inherited it as an adult.

My husband was driving to the drug store, stopped at a new stoplight, and got rear-ended by a guy who was texting and didn't realize the new light had been installed.  He was going 50 mph.  My husband thankfully was okay after a concussion, but the car was scrap.

Now I have a Volvo V90.  It's a nice ride, and it's nice having the third row since we're planning on kids, but the 4WD is a disaster.  Our driveway is on a slight slope so that to exit you have to go uphill (VERY minor!) and my husband tried to get up with normal acceleration, then failed.  Then he gunned it to get up once, slid back, and rear ended our damn house.  Generally Volvo is a good manufacturer but this one I think is a bit iffy.  We lost a brake light and have a little dark blue blemish on our siding (there was a ton of snow and hedges between them, thankfully).  We've taken it to four mechanics to fix and no dice.

Since I posted this I have replaced that car with two more interesting models. I currently drive an 08 subaru legacy,  and also own an 06 Honda civic couple, which my partner drives. Both are in excellent condition, other than the Honda suffers from bad paintwork
