Cars
I've been meaning to start one of these for a while and with all the car talk going on, I thought now may be the best time. Anyway, are there any other car nuts on the warpath like me?
Here's the newest addition to my driveway:[img]http://skinsfan.us/PublicGallery/4Runner/DSC04732.JPG[/img] That's right, off roading w/ 30 day tags!!! :D I also have a 1987 K10 and 2001 Honda Civic. In 2 years (when my insurance goes down), I plan on getting a C6 Z06. That will be my pride and joy that will never get rained on and will only be driven between the months of may and september. :D I've always been crazy about anything w/ wheels and an engine. I got my first dirtbike when I was 6 and got my second one when I was 7. I was driving the trucks in the fields when I was 8 and learned to drive a manual transmission when I was 12. When I was 14 I saved up enough money to get my first ATV, a '96 Honda Foreman 400 (that thing was a tank!). In 99, I bought the K10 and in May of 01 bought the Civic brand new (now has 110k). I got my second ATV (2003 Honda Rincon) in January of 03 (right before a big snowstorm :D) and on April 22 of this year, I got my 4Runner, a 2005 SR5 V6 4x4 (already has 4200mi). I plan on getting my fiance a new vehicle within the next month, too. It will either be a Jeep Rubicon or a Scion tC. So, what does everyone else have/ want? |
Re: Cars
I used to be pretty car crazy. Into the whole customization thing, now I've gotten older and just put tasteful mods on my car. I'm SO proud that it almost brings a tear to my eye to see someone BUY an SUV and ACTUALLY take it offroading.
MAD props. |
Re: Cars
Oh, and I have a Mazda3. Gas mileage is great. Good power, lots of space. If I wasn't being rational, I WOULD have bought an Acura RSX Type-S.

Re: Cars
i have my lowly 95 Ford Taurus, which doesn't do too bad (hit 100k yesterday, put 40k+ since February '03). my wife's 96 Saturn SL is on its last legs, and she keeps hinting at wanting a Hyundai Santa Fe (what is with women and wanting "cute" cars?!?!), so I think i'm going to trade in both cars to get her the Santa Fe (or comparable SUV) and me a commuter bucket (older Japanese model mid to small car, one i can put 100k on when it already has 100k+ on it)...
i would love one of the new 3's (best gas mileage in its class), but we can't afford 2 new cars, and since she's got a much shorter commute, i'd rather get her something nice. |
Re: Cars
What is with women and wanting SUVs period? One of my friend's wives is about 5'2" and wanted an EXCURSION! Are you kidding me?!

I always laugh when I see women driving these huge tanks down the road. They just look ridiculous. Meanwhile here I am in my Ford Focus. I'm not a car nut, I just like something that gets me where I need to go and doesn't hit my wallet too hard on gas and maintenance. My brother sells Fords so I got a sweet deal on it, nearly half off the sticker. Hard to beat that! As long as he works for Ford that's what I'll be driving. |

At the first intersection out of the dealership when I was bringing my 4Runner home, I was at the front of the line waiting at a red light. When the light turned green, I looked for oncoming traffic and sure enough here comes this woman in a crew cab F350 pulling a horse trailer - straight through the red light. She was talking on the cell phone and NEVER even touched the break pedal. She ran the red light by a good 5 seconds - and never even realized it! I was glad I looked because either I or my fiance who was following me would have been good and smashed. |
Re: Cars
it drives me nuts as well...if my wife had her way, she'd be driving a Surburban. i figure the Santa Fe is a glorified station wagon that sits a bit higher.
what cracks me up is the women who drive around in H2s...i mean, gimme a break. do you really need that thing to get groceries and take the kids to soccer practice? (no offense of course, as no one really needs something as big as the H2) |
Re: Cars
I think the ONLY reason that someone needs a huge SUV is if you are a contractor and make your OWN deliveries. Girls always want stupid ass SUVs because they think they look cute in them.
Buck, buck, chickenheads. H2s.:vomit-smi Our country makes it easy for people who are less endowed to look HUGE in their cars. |
Re: Cars
chickenheads, LOL
|
Re: Cars
You know the type too don't ya? The ones with Hawaian leis hanging from their rear-view mirrors that actually date guys specifically for their cars. Leis and cars are kind of like Kool-Aid mix for chickenheads.
Jetta + Lei in rear-view = Chickenhead |
Re: Cars
You're cracking me up!
Girls love Jettas, what's up with that? Jettas aren't even that great of a car, overpriced for the quality IMO. |
Re: Cars
Seriously, you knew it the SECOND I said it too! LOL
Girls love Jetta, Neons, Civics and ANY SUV that Daddy will buy them. And then hang a lei in it. |
Re: Cars
I'm gonna be on the lookout for leis hanging from rearviews now, LOL
I forgot about Civics and Neons too, don't forget about the new Beetles with the flowers next to the steering wheel, god I hate that |
Re: Cars
YES! I almost forgot! I can't believe I forgot. If there was something to challenge the Jetta for the Queen of Girl Cars, it would be the Beetle. It has to have a lei, a flower pot, and a STUPID ass personalized plate with SOMETHING about bug or beetle in it.
Honestly, just about everything Volkswagen is female. |
