Title: Just for fun - What do you drive? Lets see who the smart people are....
Post by: Daven on July 27, 2011, 06:10:11 PM
I've been a Made in the USA guy forever, most of what I own is USA made if I can help it.  Specifically for me I am a blue oval guy. FORD all the way. Current ride is a 2010 Ford Fusion that I LOVE!!  It has 7.250 miles on it and I've had it for one year this month and I doubt I will ever sell it. Even if I won the lottery, I don't' need a BMW or Benz (I would then get a nice Harley Trike (since I can't ride two wheels anymore) if I came into money.

BTW, sorry for the Chevy comment, but I can't stand Chevy's, my dad has had suburbans all my life and I think they're quality is crap, his interior is all cracked and faded and his current model is only 8 years old.  Mom drives a 96 Lexus and it's only got 65K on it and it's like showroom fresh. Dad also has a 1964 Buick Riviera as his weekend collector car.

2006 Dodge Ram Pickup truck,  Extended cab, four doors and an Eight (8) foot bed.  No sense having a truck unless it can do the things a truck is suppose to do.

Wife - 2005 Cadillac DeVille.  Last of the nice riding, big, Caddys made for 'old' people.
This car will do 29 MPG on the highway at 65 to 70 MPH.   Really.

Lesson to be learned regarding the above.  Save your life in a big vehicle in most crashes.
Pay for that with a bit more fuel.

Eaton Beamer moped.  I live in a small town and the moped is very economical for getting around.  Can't hardly beat 80 mpg! And for winter, just add Carhart Coveralls. It's not all that cold in North Carolina.

Car ... well we have a few  (five drivers at home). Most are 1990's cars that get us there. cheap insurance. cheap cars. Functional.

Wait, why does the type of car you drive denote intelligence?
To me, it's still a matter of personal choice.

I was thinking that it had to do with gas mileage and reliability. But I didn't really consider the deeper implications of the question.

Used to drive Chevys, but no more! 3 of my 5 past vehicles were Chevys, and only one of those wasn't a complete pain in the ass!

Our one and only vehicle is a 2007 Honda Accord  :@`

A Fusion AND a Harley?  you have my dream garage. I had an 09 fusion for 9 months and traded in for a 10. I loved my 09 but it was returned under the lemon law. electrical problems and was in the shop more than 3 times for the same problem. I gotta say - I LOVE LOVE LOVE my fusion. It's the best car I've ever owned. I love the new front end design, and the interior.  Mine has the special appearance package that they only do on 1/150 off the line where it has 18 low profile tires, and the grill is painted the same color as the car... here are pic's of my "old" fusion and my new one. - but also a photo of my daily rider, which also explains why the only Harley I could own would be a trike.

I hear and agree with you on that Schroman. But since you asked:

2007 Saturn Aura (wife's daily driver, a great car, too bad what happened to them)

2000 Honda Accord EX V6 (my daily, a great car as well, excellent engine, but interior is getting long in the tooth)

In time, I will own a Harley once again!   ;)

2006 Dodge ram 2500 mega cab.  Had a 1995 Harley Fatboy, but sold it to get a camper to enjoy with the kids.  I'll own a Harley again though.  Interested in a white Ultra Classic.
