what kind of car...

[zoey]

I'm in a Ford Taurus which I love and never have any problems with.
All my cars have been good, but due to a period of unemployment once, I was unable to maintain my Nissan for awhile. There was a hole in the radiator and the hood would fly up, on the freeway. (Lot's of breaking down on the way to work. Lots of stalling in the pkg garage at work.) Ugh yeah. Memories.
I guess my favorite was a 450 SL mercedes convertible I drove for about a year.
A friend drove it without my permission and totalled it. He wasn't hurt, but had no insurance. I later found out my insurance co. had been in bankruptsy while still taking my premiums every month.
So I sold it for scrap. And lost my a$$.

I'm scared to ask how much that costs!

Haha, they're not too expensive these days. (Newer) used ones are going for anywhere from $13,000 to $20,000. I've always dreamt of modifying my car though.. that'll really empty out the bank account.

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 get my drivers license in december.I'll be driving a 2004 Jeep Liberty,which i love! And we also have a 2002 Mercedes.

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.

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.
