What cars do you drive ?

Thought it'd be neat for us all to share what we own, car wise

My current drivers except for the last:
All are rust free and original paint.

1990 CRX Si

1988 Civic LX

1991 Civic Si (garage queen)

I have a boring Volvo diesel as a daily but still have my :

Corrado G60 1990, 4 years ago totally rebuild with an all new tuned G60 1.9 engine .
It's been stored in my mates garage for 3 years now because in the end I hardly used it but building was fun .

Posting mostly to admire the CRX. My first daily driver was a CRX and I LOVED that car.

I've been driving a 2003 BMW 330i for years now, that I bought with 6k miles on it. I've put 50k of my own on it in about 10 years.

Fun fact, I bought the car over the internet and had it delivered to my house on a truck.

The family has grown over time, so got a 2012 Acura MDX that gets the miles..

'02 Civic, 1.4 L. Boring sensible car!

Peugeot 206 CC, french small convertible car.

Buy one ! French car market has around -10% sales during 2012, bad bad bad.

2010 Chevrolet Agile, mine is dark green. I believe the car only exists in Brazil and Argentina right now. I heard this car was a test model and they should be making an updated, worldwide version in a year or two.

Speaking of cars, how many of you can't drive a manual? Over here it's unthinkable to have someone who can drive but can't use stick shift.

Volkswagen Golf MK IV turbo-econo-box

2004 Acura TSX. I'm a Honda fanatic and probably wouldn't buy anything else for my day to day except 1 Honda or Acura at a time. I'd like to collect muscle cars one day but the chances of that starting in the next 10 years are extremely slim.

Should've started this thread two weeks ago, when I still had my 1999 VW Golf IV, but I've now sold it.

No point in owning a car in Berlin really, and too expensive considering I didn't use it that much. Joined BMW's car sharing platform and they have Mini Coopers, 1 series and X1. That's good enough.

2007 VW Rabbit/Golf (they brought back the "Rabbit" name they originally used on the MkI for the for the US/Canada MkVs, then promptly switched back to Golf for the MkVI) 4-door in red. Not quite as nice as my Dad's MkV GTI, but I'm still quite happy with it.

1992 Red Toyota Celica GT Convertible. I never use the Convertible feature since the plastic window is coming off in one corner + paint clearcoat is coming off in some places. I really need to take care of the car more, just had the distributor and the MAP sensor replaced. 140K miles and still going.

what? really ? Germany has a massive car culture, unlike Canada !

Pretty much any location you desire to arrive at in Berlin can be reached by the u-bahn system (which I never tried to use, LOL) and a bit of walking (did a fair bit of that). It helps keep the streets empty too, which is nice.

You guys have nothing on my ride. I not only have a chauffeur, all my friends can ride too. And the inside is permeated with the scent of urine and b.o.

Imagine how baller you would look in this:

That CRX is hot! I love it. It's so hard to find one around my area that isn't rusted all to Hell. And the ones that aren't rusted aren't for sale

Currently driving a '96 BMW Z3. It's fun I guess, but not very practical. It's not like I ever need to chauffeur more than zero human females, so it has served my needs well I suppose.

My other ride is a '08 Kymco Xciting R 500i. I love it to pieces especially considering how little I paid for it, and managed to get my hands on some Euro-market parts so it's a one-of-a-kind where I live.

"[...] Drives an immaculately cared-for Ford Granada - Daytona Yellow, if I'm not mistaken - with the protective plastic still on the back seats," I add.

"Thanks. It's the classic Mark 2 model - the same model they used in The Sweeney. I've had it from new!"

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Fri Jun 07, 2013 2:00 am

My current lineup that I probably need to slim down...

2006 Pontiac GTO aka Holden Monaro for any Aussies on here

2007 Corvette, my dad's car that I inherited

And last but not least 2005 Saab 9-2x aka a Subaru WRX wagon, and my 93 Mustang LX 5.0 that I've had since 1998 I think

I was going to post something about the "master race" but I remembered my car is white. Well, white is awesome for cars anyway.

Breakdown of rides by color so far:
gray - 2
white - 2 (3 if including my ride)
black
blue (+ bus)
silver (+ NY subway train)
red - 5

Shmups Forumers pay a lot in speeding tickets, and burn a lot of rice, confirmed.

You don't get speeding tickets because your car isn't red.

Honda CRV, aka Honda Cool Radical Vehicle. Never will get rid of it. Best car I could ask for.

The 1995(Japan)1997-2001's were amazing.

We just got rid of a 1997 CRV with like 225,000 miles, still working great!

I have one of these.

Dropped it off at Bub Rub's today to get whistle tips installed.

Woooo WOOO! Did Bubb Rubb end up getting his own shop or did Marcella Cabrera end up hiring him? What happened to Lil' Sis? Damn, Roxanne Bruns was right.. it's not a fad and didn't go away.. almost a decade later.

Haha, I don't know. What I can tell you is that if my neighbors complain, I will let them know that they're supposed be up cooking breakfast or something.
