Thread: what kind of car...

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    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..

    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.
