General Chat / What Do you Drive?

Seriously? A Gallardo? At least go with something like an Ariel Atom or something.

Gallardo is awesome! I like Bugattis too!

Car with roof > car with no roof

Or rather, car with roof > four-wheel motorcycle

Seriously? A gallardo isn't enough?

^it's just a dream car that I will never have...well, who knows!?

Seriously? A gallardo isn't enough?

lol this...

Nothing wrong with Lamborghini, still one of the most beautiful cars ever build.
I would go for the latest model ,if i could afford it ,wich i can't.
My favourite is still the Countach, old but still cool.
But driving pleasure with a Lambo started from the murcielago followed by the Gallardo and so on. The models before the Murcielago where very hard to handle.

But...to the point.

I'm driving a 1999 Renault Clio 1.2 RN.
This car suits me ,since it's affordable to drive here in Holland with these insane petrol prices over here (nearly 1.80 euro per liter) and the roadtax isn't included, we pay that seperate too. F*ck Holland ,we are being treated like criminals over here.

My supercars of choice would have to the Ford GT (new or old) and the Nissan GT-R.
For now, though, my soon-to-be vehicle is a 1983(?) Dodge Ram 150 Custom:

(Note: That's someone else's pickup, but it's the same visually sans the lights behind the grille and probably a few other details.)

There is no new GT40...it's just the GT. Fun fact, the most recent GT40 sale sold for like $13 million.

Hope to be driving a Ford Focus ZX2 Hatchback soon enough.

My dream car is a Koenigsegg Agera R.
Your're right, it's still a Lambo, but why not the newer, better one?

@Fizzix: Gah, I forgot that.
@MF:
Swedish =/= Italian.
260 mph =/= 221 mph.
$2,600,000 =/= $1,600,000.
5L V8 TT =/= 6.5L V12.
1,100 bhp =/= 640 bhp
2,844 lbs =/= 3,670 lbs
...And I didn't think the Agera had the characteristics of any Lambo, new or old. In fact, the Koesegg has (shock!) the style of a Koesegg.

We should start a dream car/car discussion thread so as not to change this one.

I'm on it.

I was directing that towards Austin/BC, I didn't meant to say that the Koenigsegg is essentially a Lambo. Sorry.

Still driving my silver 2001 Mitsubishi Galant...

...would love a Red Juke, but even as a potential commuter replacer, I have three growing kids and know that the headroom in the back sucks big time (I hit my head and I'm 6 ft tall-HR in inches is only 36!).

So, sticking with the similar enough category, I'd love to replace the above with either the current gen or rumored future gen Kia Soul (especially if it looks similar to the Track'ster) with a manual trans and - in ALIEN green!

Kai

KAI?!?! Holy crap... long time no see... and you have THREE kids now, awesome, lol. lol I remember you posting about the Galant way back when. The Juke's are pretty cool too.

Hey Brent, how's it going? Hope things are well.

Yea, I'd love a Juke, but even as a car that 90% of the time will be for only myself, I can't really get something that will be THAT deficient in headroom and backseat space as the 3 kids get bigger, especially with the older one growing towards the ceiling by then (teen years). Inevitably, there will be times when all 5 of us will be in it together.

Thus, saving money and waiting to see how the newer SOUL turns out (that slight extra space is enough), and either get one of those, or a used current looking one. All in good time.

But Alien green is a must.

After several years of costly repairs, and more recently a broken transmission, I sold my 1998 Chevy Blazer this weekend and bought a 2011 Subaru Legacy. I'm excited to see how it handles in the snow this winter.

my baby.



and once i get in full-time, my bitch.

My ride in South Dakota (Badlands). I put a lot of miles on her driving across the country.



Gas mileage ~33 mpg normally, 39 mpg is the best I've gotten on her though.

I walk. Like everywhere. It's fine until it rains. Then it's fucking bullshit.
