what kind of car...

[davidpizzica]

I know I've done this thread before, but we're getting new members. What kind of car are you driving now and which car was the worst car you owned? I now drive a 2006 chevy cobalt (which I LOVE!) and my worst was a clunker of a 1973 Ford maverick. I bought it and took it to the mechanic and found out it was the parts of TWO cars welded together! Needless to say I got rid of that one QUICK!

My favorite of course is my little blue Festiva (aka the little blue pill) as seen on my myspace page Worst car I ever drove was this POS Mozda 626 2 door sport, you had to seriously hold the gas down while braking to keep it from dying...and it was an automatic. It had cardboard and duct tape holding engine parts together...glad it wasnt my car!

DJF, I thought my maverick was bad! Your Mazda sounded like a junkyard on wheels!

I am driving a 2006 Chevy HHR and hubby is driving my 2000 Cougar. It's yellow and a total chick car, so he gets made fun of. I really don't have a worst car. I did drive a mini-van in HS and some college.

Ah, a topic that I love almost as much as my pets.

My current daily driver is my '04 Nissan Titan. Although I drive a ton of miles and this thing gets horrible gas, I couldn't imagine a more comfotable ride, for me,to sit in traffic in.


And the reason that I have truck as a daily driver is to keep me entertained on the weekends:

I really wish this picture wasn't taken with a cell phone. So many times I wish I had a camera that I could take out to the desert and not destroy it.

I've had a lot of cars/trucks in my 8 years of driving but my worst had to be my '86 Ford Escort. The car realy did try and it wasn't horrible, but it would always break if I tried to go more than 30 miles any direction out of town. Steering wheel came off on the freeway, frontend fell out twice, and at the end of its life it had no first or second gear and it was donated after the stick shift pulled off in my hand.

I have to add my favorite too. My '68 Mercury Cougar that was my first car that I bought with my own money, well a loan from Grandma but I payed it back. It's what has been keeping me busy during the week because I pulled the engine out and am rebuilding most of the car. However, here she is in her prime before I pulled everything out again:

I don't own a car at the moment but my dream car is a '69 Red or Black Mustang.



Craig, that Cougar is HOT!!!

Craig, your cougar is awsome! If I could find a pic, I'll show you my brother's '67 Shelby mustang GT500. It's dark bue with the two wide white stipes All oiginal!

Junkyard would be an improvement Like I said, Im glad I just was driving the poor owner home after a night of too much partying

I drive 2000 hydandia elantra. My worst car was a 1979 ford pinto it had no heat or defroster and it was a ugly dull brown. My favorite was my 1993 ford escort it was the first and only car I bought new.

Best car - the one I drive now, a Subaru Outback. It's just like the one in the com mercials - full of huskies!
the worst was an ancient orange station wagon. It was falling apart. The driver's side door didn't work, and I was pregnant, what a pain! Some guy my then-husband worked with told him he should be ashamed of himself for not taking better care of his family-- it worked, he got another car. (Not married to him anymore.)

I drive a 2001 Ford Focus Wagon. I LOVE it (except in the snow - it's not that great). But other than that, it runs great, it's in great shape and it's been paid off for quite some time!

My dream "car" is actually a Vespa Scooter.

hmm at 13 i don't have a car yet but i'll just do this for my mom i guess lol.... right now she drives a 2003 Chevy Tahoe and some of her past good ones were a Dodge Charger and her 1st car was a Ford Mustang... as for my 1st car.... i'm going to start saving up money in my savings account this winter around my 14th b-day so that i can buy a car when i'm 16! good idea, eh?

[CathyBogart]

I drive a 1989 Buick LeSabre T-Type. I love it, except I think leather seats are terribly unconfortable.

The only other car I've owned was a 1988 Mazda B2200 pickup, so I guess that would be the 'worst', though I loved it almost as much as I love the Buick.

[Danegirl2208]

i drive an 02 Chevy Tahoe..definatly not my dream car but its nice..what i really would like is a Mustang, a classic or an 05, wouldnt matter to me they are gorgeous cars..the new ones are all over the place but i love them

I have not had a "worst" car.

I would say "Bill the Car" was the one with the most character, but all my early cars were at least 12 when I got them, and had plenty of character.
Bill was a 1974 Maverick, light blue, with a brown driver's side door, a black formerly-vinyl roof, which has decomposed and was peeling, maroon primer on the left rear quarter panel, a liberal amount of grey Bondo scattered about, and somewhat religious (holy/holey) floorboard. By the time Bill was slain on a Somerville street one night, (it was slammed into while parked - still ran in an abbreviated-by-a-good-foot form for a month) sky-blue paint had covered the Bondo, so I handed out pieces of Bondo to mourners.

My current car is my Honda CRV, a 2003. It's great - goes up and down hill in snow and ice, gets decent mileage for an "SUV" 26 mpg, is comfortable, roomy and fits lots of stuff! We live on a hill, and there are 4 other CRVs in the surrounding houses.
