what kind of car...

[zanyshihtzu]

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?

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.

My best and worst are covered by one car....my 1985 Pontiac Grand Am.

Best? 35 MPG, handled incredibly well on back roads, (DON'T tell me how fast I'm going, I don't want to know....), and was comfortable on long trips. (FT Hood-Mass, about 2100 miles, in 28 hours)

Worst? Ate brakes, (rotors and pads every 3-5k), went through alternators like mad, (9 alternators over the life of the car), and had to rework the head twice in one 20,000 mile timespan.

runner up for both? A 1980 Ford F-100 nicknamed the Yellow Peril. Take a bone stock F-100, and put a highly modified V-8 under the hood. It's never a good thing when you encounter lift while driving. Went through gas and clutches like the Grand Am went through brakes.

Current vehicles?

A 2004 F-150, great work truck, 4x4 and can haul a lot of wood.

A 1996 ford countour, which will wind up as a stealth rocket (I figure I can get about 200 hp out of the stock engine w/o a turbo)

and LOH's car, a bone stock 2002 Ford Taurus.

I'm currently only 14, so I don't drive yet.. Learner's permit next year though.. . Anyways, the worst car my mom's had is our current one. It's a 1997 Dodge Intrepid, and I hate it so much. It uses alot of gas, and it always overheats and leaves us stuck somewhere until it cools down.. x_x. The best car we've had is probably the 1980 something Plymouth Sundance my mom used to have. It was an awesome car till it broke, too.

My own dream car(s)
Vintage (specifically I like the original and 1969) Yellow Ford Mustang Convertible.

Or..
Whatever year, older VW Beetle convertible, specifically in lavender, baby blue, black or red..

Yeah.. *dreams*

My first, and also BEST (so far... I've got some dreams for the future...) car is a 2006 Scion xA.





He gets great gas miliage (anywhere from 31 (which is what he is rated at) to 40+ on the highway). He handles like a dream... I could blow on the steering wheel and he would make a 90 degree turn for me. He gets me places, is a great car for packing friends into for *short* trips, and a comfy ride for either 3 people or 2 people and 2 dogs and minimal luggage for a long trip.

My dream cars....

Growing up with a Mazda rx 7, I'd love to own a Mazda rx8... Preferably a blue one, but I like red too.


I'd love either a BRAND NEW Porsche 911 Turbo or an older one... No real year preferance, as long as it's a real turbo. The brand new ones make me drool.



I'm a sports car girl, born and raised... I'd prefer to not do any mods (because they're expensive -- imo the car should COME that hot), but I'd be open to it -- especially wheels and hubcaps.

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.

Bill is dead.

Mr Bill is dead.

Bill the cat is dead.

Bill the car is dead.

Bill has lived, Bill has died. Nobody cared, nobody cried!

[critter crazy]

I dont have a car I have a truck!! I love my truck!! a 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 5.7 liter hemi!!!! My worst car however was my first, a 1985 chevy eurosport!! talk about junk, th door was falling off, and nothing worked!! has to use a butter knife to work the radio!!

not a great pic but the only one i have!

[zippy-kat]

I now drive a Magnesium Metallic 05 Honda Civic EX SE (automatic). I LOVE this car!

Hmmm... like some others, I haven't had really had a "worst car" although some were rather iffy as to whether they'd get me from Point A to Point B. Perhaps, my 98 Chevy Corsica was the "worst" of all I've owned... it ATE oil. Since I was driving back and forth between home and college, Dad finally gave me my graduation present early... an 01 Nissan Sentra.

I'm destined to only drive granny cars. But I don't really care as long as it runs I'm happy. I would never spend a huge amount of money on a car unless I was extremely rich, they just go down in value. I'd rather save my money for an investment like a house.

I'm currently driving a '92 chevy lumina. It was my grandma's car, but so far it's been great...low miles, no major upsets *knock on wood* the backseat is roomy enough for a couple big dogs. I keep a seat cover back there all the time, that is the dog's section!

I've only had one other car and it was an '89 buick century. The drivers side window broke so I couldn't roll it down which was rather embarassing in drive-thrus (had to open the door). I would have kept driving it if I hadn't been in the wreck though, it wasn't too bad but to repair the damage would have been more than the car was worth (it was totaled and I bought it back). I actually drove it for several months after that but I had to sell it because it wouldn't pass inspections without repairs.

I have a 2001 Olds Alero that I bought new and love it.
Ihave had the spark plugs replaced and there was a time that it was shorting out a wire or something that made it strand me, but we got that fixed under warranty.
My 'worst' car was probably my first car - a 1986 Ford Temp - I loved it b/c it was my first car tho.
The AC would fog up the windows and the horn busted. (those were the days in HS where horn was important ) My dad replaced it with an air horn that vibrated the dash when it blew. I scared the crap out of my uncle when he was riding with me once and I blew the horn and the whole car shook.
