General Chat / Family Cars

Was curious tonight on the way to fill up my mom's car @ Costco. Soooo yeah....

Mom: 2005 Honda Accord EX
Dad: 2005 Chevy Avalanche
1969 Chevy Camaro
2004 Chevy Express (Work job)
Step-Mom: 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado
Step Bro: 2004 Chevy Colorado
Lil Bro: 1995 GMC Sonoma
Me: 2005 Scion xB
Fiance: 2005 Scion xA

Mainly American, but my mom and I (and I got Allison to go import, her parents drive nothing but ::shrugs:: Ford's). got imports because we trust them more so than American cars.

Me, no car no licence..

parents have this pretty old chrysler town and country, a car you can only buy in the states... and a renault clio. (which, apparantly, had i a license, would be able to lend) (or actually, that's what my mom says, my dad doesn't want it, still, though) (it's pestering either way, seeing as i don't have a license yet)

My grandpas both have some pretty nice citroens. And my fathers nephew, my something uncle i don't know how to translate that right, has a nice audi something. In a few years i'll be rich though and buy my own brand new hot audi. yep. Oh, my aunt has a toyota something. That's about all the family i have...

I'm not really a car person, so I don't know many specifics or the years of the cars in my immediate family. I'll try to find them out and edit them in, but just in case I don't, here are the bare basics that I know.

GM Saturn (1997-ish)
Toyota Camry
Dodge Ram 1500
Bentley (1940-ish, was briefly in the movie "Dead Again")
Mercedes-Benz Convertible
Volkswagen Van
Volkswagen Van
Willys Jeep (1940-ish)
Jensen Healey (needs a little work, though it runs)
Jensen Healey (needs a little work, though it runs)
Jensen Healey (will mostly salvage for parts for the other two, and will then convert what's left into a race car)
Detomaso Pantera (still needs about two months more work)
Nissan Truck
Geo Metro
Maserati Convertible (1989-ish, maybe)

How rich are you o.O
Why did you all have so much cars? I don't get it

I only can remember
- one Ford Escort
- and one Opel Zafira, which we own atm.
Both red

remember they're cheaper in the states... and in germany...

right, why the fuck do we pay such ridiculous amounts for cars, gasoline, and most of all, our housing?


I'm serious, i want to rent for around a 1000 euros with a couple of friends and i'm getting nothing but reactions that it's never gonna work. Apparantly we know someone with contacts though haha.

M(o/u)m: BMW Z4
Stepdad: BMW 330i
Dad: Audi TT Roadster
Stepm(o/u)m: Ford Focus

Who the hell owns 9-15 cars honestly. When you show my a picture of all the cars together I will believe you.

mum: Hyundai Coupe
dad: I forgot but something shitty

Mom: 2002 Toyota Hilander (light blue)
Dad: 2004 Toyota Camry (white, 4 cylinder)
Me: Dad's old 1999 Camry (greyish purple blue, 6 cylinder)

My daily driver is a 2001 Subaru Outback Limited. It's the perfect cruiser for the harsh Minnesota winters. AWD and heated leather seats. I also have a 1988 RX7 Turbo II with a 20B 3-rotor engine installed, full race suspension, roll cage, etc. Project is unfinished and will probably be sold shortly so I can buy a new guitar. With the family I just don't have the time or money to finish it. My next car will be either a GTO or a Charger SRT8.

My wife has a Pontiac Montana with will soon be traded for something else.

Me:

Yeah, and you should see their fucking house.

Oh yeah, and i own a 1997 Dodge Neon, which still smells a bit like smoke from the previous owner, although the Febreeze Auto shit is helping. Some nice cig burns in the seat give it charm. Any buyers?

We have a three junk cars that don't work that are STILL sitting outside, the neighbors are getting pretty pissed. My older sister just got a 2005 Civic, my mom drives a new Hyundai Elantra, and ever since his car broke down my dad's been rolling in our Plymouth Voyager. Which is a lemon by the way.

On a side note, cars really suck. I have plenty of ideas for future travel if anyone's interested.

We have a Mazda 626 Estate and a Nissan Micra. Awesome.

How rich are you o.O
Why did you all have so much cars? I don't get it 

We don't have that much money, we just seem to come by a lot of material goods. We tend to get really good deals on used cars (the cheapest was $1 for the Jeep, ), then plan on fixing them up and selling them, but sometimes just end up accumulating some of them. At least half of those we plan on selling.

Who the hell owns 9-15 cars honestly. When you show my a picture of all the cars together I will believe you.

Like I said, it's not my fault. I think it's a bit weird too. But, it's not like I mind. As far as a picture, I doubt I could get more than 5 of the unusual ones in the picture without lining them all up. They're all spread out in our yard.

On a side note, cars really suck.

I agree. They were flawed from the beginning. For instance, cars are designed to withstand a crash. Does this not alarm anyone? Cars would be much better off if they were designed to not get in an accident in the first place. High speed rail, in the European fashion, is the way to go.

In terms of family cars:
Mom: Honda Civic (2002 I think)
Dad: Mazada Tribute (2004 I think)

Dad:
Infiniti FX45
Porsche Boxster
Toyota Tundra (4 door)

Mom:
Mercedes CLS500 Coupe
Honda Odyssey

Brother:
Honda CR-V (2006)

Me:
Toyota Highlander.

Who is rich now, bitch?
