What kind of car to you drive...after voting tell of the exact make and model of your car.:D

If you have more than one car pick as many as you need to include all of your cars.

I have a 2004 Blue Lincoln Navigator and its sitting on 22" chrome rims.

While I love my car and it is damn sexy, if I do say so myself, there is a downside. I get (on a good day) 10.5 miles to the gallon. lol its pathetic...but what can I say, I'm an American!!!

Blue 98 Ford Taurus SE.

(hey, I got it for $2000 in great condition!)

95 Buick LeSabre. And it still runs great.

96 dodge neon

2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 16v SXi

74bhp, 81 (I think) lb ft torque. Pretty nippy wee car, handlings not too bad either, fuel economy is also very good.

Blue 90 Chevy Astro van. Custom chipped paint and broken tape player :D

Don't have one yet, but when I get one, it will definitely be a Mercedes...German cars all the way :D

2002 Volvo s60

and 2001 Ford Ranger

1996 Buick Century. It was cheap, dependable, American made, and had carseat room (all the important stuff)

My darling, Veronica-

That's actually her, it's a frame from a movie I did about her. '67 VW Westfalia Bus. Baby.

LOL :D

Don't have one, so I scab my parents cars.
1: The shitmobile. A 1989 Toyota Corolla (in an absurd purply-silver-blue)that my brother has smashed a few times. It can barely make 90km. The interior stinks when it rains.

2: The oh-so-embarassing (for a commie) four wheel drive. :p 2002 Honda CRV-Sport. FFS, it's silver with leather seats. Argh!

a Ford 1929 model A tudor sedan or a Dodge 1996 V10 club cab truck.
the "A" is dark brown with black fenders and french gray rims and trim( the rims are 21inches yay go me :p ), the truck is silver.

LOL :D

Yeah it's pretty sweet. On the top I had them put rust where the paint was chipped off :D

You're kidding...

We had a Mercedes E Class turbo Diesel, which we traded in for an Audi A8L, which we traded in for a Dodge Charger Hemi...Its got like 345 horses..its insane...we love it...anyway those were my moms cars...my car is the Navigator like I already said.

I drive a Honda Accord, a classic example of why cars based on nationality is oudated. The engine was made in Japan, the body in Canada, and it was assembled in the US. It has other parts from Mexico and South Korea, I think.

How can you tell where your car is from when it was assembled in some place with parts coming from like five different countries, by a company headquartered in another one which parent holding is from still another country?

Oh, and I didn't get in questions of design, marketing, etc.

Can't do that just yet. :p

Your making it way more complicated than it is....Ford=America, Audi=German, Honda=Rice Rocket=Japan.....just relax bro...lol.

Can't do that just yet. :p

why?

You're kidding...
Nope, that's my baby girl and I really did do a documentary about her. I wasn't sure which part you where refering to...

What about Daimler-Chrysler? :)

That was the last car I owned, a Chrysler Spirit. Made in Mexico.

I am a poor poor student. I drive an 1989 SV21 Toyota Camry.... mmm Jap goodness (more importantly reliable as hell, cheap on fuel and cheap to fix).

AT least I dont drive one of those crappy girl cars ie bubble cars or the little pacific rimmers. When I save enough money I want to buy a Nissan Cefiro (thats some RB20DET joy in a practical car).

And whoever started this forum missed out Australia. We make cars (albiet the companys are American and Jap).

For those in America and the UK. Australia makes the Pontaic GTO and the Vauxhall Monaro. There both rebadges of the legend Australian Holden Monaro. There designed and built here.

'92 Toyota Corolla. It doesn't look great, but it runs just fine and I am EXTREMELY grateful to the man from whom I obtained it, because he gave it to me even though he'd never met me before. He is friends with my mom and knew I needed a car, and he gave it to me just like that :)

I drive my parents blue 1995 Ford Thunderbird.

They also have a 1993 Saab, but I don't drive that one because it's not an automatic.

Australia makes the GTO? My sincere apologies to Australia for not including it in the poll then....I bow my head to the South West ( I am in America) ....Australia is now officially cool:D

A real hippie, you are.

A real hippie, you are.
It gets better-right now I'm converting her to run on propane. I have another one (an 85 Vanagon) that I'm looking for a diesel engine to convert to vegetable oil. I use the Vanagon for work because it's a cargo with just a bed to sleep on.

2001 Hyundai Sonata, mainly. It's actually a remarkably nice car. Other cars I drive occasionally are my parents 2003 Dodge Caravan, my dad's 2005 Toyota Camry, my brother's 2004 Volkswagen GTI, my younger brother and sister's 1994 Nissan Maxima, my buddy's 2003 Oldsmobile Alero....

If it makes you feel better, I still eat meat. ;)

Not answerable.

I have a 1968 VW, made in Germany, that I aspire to rebuild.
I drive a 1995 Mercury (Ford) that was assembled in Mexico from US and foreign parts... It could have been as easily assembled in Canada - since the same model was "made" in both countries.

Origin of Company and "Country of Origin" are largely imaterial anymore (when it comes to autos).

O...M...G Mommy wow, I just met a real hippie now!
Worse... you've met two... CToaN and me - a Libertarian Police Stater who also wants to make his Beetle run on Alt Fuel.... ;)

Oh.

Then you're not a hippie.

:D

I drive a hand-me-down Jag, so wherever Jag's are made I guess...

'98 or '99 (I forget) Subaru WRX. Not many modifications, just running it is expensive, so ATM it's only got an aftermarket exhaust system.

Actually, a large quantity of Jags are made in Tennessee. They're cheaper and, though I'm told they run better, my dad has one with major transmission problems for a late model.

Currently I am driving a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier...Its...purple...people like to call it the barney car :(

I did have a 91 toyota tercel...it was like mint green...4 speed..and i blew head gasket.....hehe...i like to push my cars to the extreme a bit

Wait... the speak English on opther planets on Stargate... the only logical conclusion is that Jaguars are made by aliens!

I KNEW IT!

*points excitedly and bounces*

While Saab is owned by GM and Volvo is owned by Ford, both are made in Sweden.

I drive a Saab 9-3.

I'm afraid your wrong...its not the aliens...its the JEWS!!! Yes thats right...the Jews...they have been using the sales money to fund their World Wide Zionist Conspiracies....and they are not afraid to admit it.....MWAHAHAH

What kind of car to you drive...after voting tell of the exact make and model of your car.:D!!!

99 Ford Mustang GT (my daily driver)
03 Ford Focus (my wife's commuter car)
68 Ford Mustang Fastback (only in the summer though)

why?
I had to unload my 1967 Plymouth Baracudda and am currently saving to buy another car to replace it. I.e. I have no car right now. :P

'92 Toyota Corrola 1.6 litres of raw power.

Oh that stings, to have to get rid of a classic. As of late I've been taken by the '65 Cuda Commando. My dad had one one I was a kid (I don't know if it was a 65, but I know it was a pre-69/8, whenever the body style changed. But I like the Valiant style grill of the 65) and there was always this flirtation (that was largely self constructed, I'd have to admit) that I would get it when I turned 16.

(Instead I inhereted my aunt's 77 Malibu Classic...not the same at all...)

I think I've been hit of late to rectify that and actually buy my own.




That I would also convert to run on propane :D

But this stands towards the end of a very long line of things that need to be taken care of.

I drive Soylent Green! :p (Usually I drive it crazy, sometimes I drive it nuts, and occassionally I drive it away. When I make jokes like this, usually it's the latter. :( )

Chev silverauto

2000 Ford F-250 SuperDuty SuperCab in scarlet red, 2V SOHC Ford Triton V10 iron block, 6.8L, 415 cubic inch.
No major upgrades, just some major engine tuning. Usually 320 ponies with 425 ftlbf. of twist, at roughly 4100RPM and 3100RPM, respectively. (That's horsepower and torque for you complete noobs.)

These aren't pictures of my truck, but they're damn close. The color's dead on.

^^^ That's the best representation... mine has a plow mount on it, currently. Mine also has clearance lights. Here's what it looks like with the clearance lights...

The mirrors are tow mirrors, like those in the first picture. I'll post some pics as soon as I can find my camera.

Intresting ... if I was not sinking so much money into the farm and my education I would probably have something simmilar

right now got to stick with the 1500

I drive a 2004 Honda Civic, and I live in America so my car is made mostly by Americans.

Well, I drive a Mazda 3, so I voted "Japan," although I think my car is actually made in the US from parts assembeled in Mexico. That's NAFTA for ya.

Mazda's a Ford Motor Company subsidiary. Well, more like Ford owns the controlling share. Technically, it's American.

I didn't know that about Mazda and Ford. :eek: I drive a Ford! I feel so...dirty.

Anyway, that's a little absurd if you ask me. That would be like calling a Jeep "German" because Daimler-Benz owns Chrysler now. Although, on second thought, that might not be so absurd...hm...

Cool, I have extra new-found respect for you! :)

(Not that I didn't respect you before).

'94 Nissan SE 4x4 pickup piece-of-shit always has something wrong with it, mainly the transmission but this time the brakes, so lately I've been driving my feet.

Peugeot 306 GTi6. It's a sweet little baby. Sharp handling, grunty 2.0L, 6 speed manual 'box. French company, built in France AFAIK (the instructions on the engine plaques & in the owner's manual are in French & English).

w00t same here... 'cept mine's black and a 5 door (and 2005 model i think) :)
very nippy indeed - the SXi makes a fair bit of difference (i pwn off the lights a friend of mine who has a corsa "comfort" or whatever, heh)

so what nationality is vauxhall? french :confused:

A black, -85, 3-door Saab 900i with a manual transmission and a 2.0 litre engine. I love that car. Only thing wrong with is that there's no CD-player and the radio's broken.

'02 Black Jeep Liberty

While I love my car and it is damn sexy, if I do say so myself, there is a downside. I get (on a good day) 10.5 miles to the gallon.

:eek: That's 22.5 liters on 100 kilometers! Holy shit!

lol its pathetic...but what can I say, I'm an American!!!

Good thing you pointed that out! :p


I drive a 9-year-old Opel Astra, handed down from my late grandpa. It uses up quite some gas, but even on a bad day, it's still less than half of what Atlantian Island's car is guzzling up...

If I ever have enough money, I'd love a VW Beetle convertible - old or "New" beetle, doesn't matter. Or I could just steal this:

I was hoping I could find a picture of it on the net because it's a bit of a landmark (well, as much of a landmark as truck can be). There is an old school bus (as in a bus that used to take kids to school that is now old, as opposed to an 'old skool' bus) that has a Kombi welded on top of it on the rear half, presumably as upper-sleeping quarters. I pass by it every now and then.
