What kind of car do you drive?

[millahh]

Yes, I'm an awful person...it's automatic, with clutchless manual.  The option for fully manual is there...I just never learned stick

I'm actually already thinking ahead a few years, making sure I've learned stick by then, and going for an M1 or M3 (hopefully the M1 will be available in something other than black or valencia orange by then).  Possibly the 335i coupe convertible.  Straight manual is an option for all models...though it's no cheaper.

Yes, it pops.  It's made those annoying-ass short on-ramps on the LI highways into launch pads.  I can confirm 0-60 in 5.7, and 0-75 in about 7.  Easy to go 90+ without really realizing it (a bigger deal in NY than TX).  I find that I arrive places earlier than I expect to.    I'd like to get it on some midwestern roads where I can really open it up.

Very maneuverable, and I've taken to zipping through tight spots while blowing right by people.  Though when you hit a pothole, it feels like you've been hit with a baseball bat (sport tires and sport suspension).

I didn't try a 3 series, so I really can offer a comparison.

Awesome ride Hyperplex, the interior of those is beautiful.

Perhaps I will post a photo or two of Monsieur Humbert tomorrow...

This minus the convertible top, those hubcaps and the for sale sign 

I'm going to be looking for another car soon though.  Cavaliers are horrible rusters, and the one I have now is pretty unsafe to drive.

[yeshaberto]

yeah, I had the same car w/o the convertible (same year and color as well) and it lasted 300,000 miles w/no problems.  so when I saw this one, I jumped on it.
it hasn't been near as great as the first one

An 03 Honda Civic, but I prefer to refer to it as the Cupster.

The 5.7 surprises me.  Looks like the car is quite a bit heavier than I would have expected.  Not sure where all the weight is, actually.  It also appears that the 3L engine lost a bit of the torque the 2.8 had.  Makes me wonder if they're de-tuning the thing to sell more turbos. 

And yeah, BMW's have a way of making you go a lot faster than you realize.  The first time I found myself driving 30 mph above what I though I was shocked.

Also, regardless of what I think BMW is turning into,  those seats are worth whatever they want to charge for the rest of the car.  My current ride is lacking the sport seats and it really saddens me.  I miss the way the old ones hugged you. 

Anyhoo, now that I'm home I can post a picture.  Here's my car, quite unlawfully, turning right on red a little too quickly.

That what I like about these cars.  I had one that lasted to about 285,000 miles before the rust took it.  I bought my current car w/96,000, but the rust took over much faster this time.

That's that pic from the red light camera?  Nice car

Recently had to retire my 96 Pontiac Grand Prix.

Had the car from a month before my 16th birthday till a month before my 25th, pretty much 9 years exact, and I loved that car.

Now I have a 97 Mitsubishi Galant.

[YtseBitsySpider]

very lucky. I'm starting to hate my car after all the amount of money I have to put into it

Volvo's are built like freaking tanks.  200k miles is barely into the teenage years for those things.  My brother's made it to about 350k.

Which was one of the major reasons I went for this car (and my friend gave me a good deal on it). It's at about 185k at the moment, so I'm expecting a good amount of life out of this thing.

[TempusVox]

I ordered this car last month. It will be mine in about 2 weeks. It is blk/blk.
https://www.configurator.maserati.com/cc/?modelName=GTMC&country=1&language=us

I drive this car quite a bit. But mine is in black.
https://www.acura.com/PhotoGallery.aspx?model=RL&modelYear=2010&context=photos-videos#/image9

My wife drives this, also in black.
(https://www.acura.com/PhotoGallery.aspx?model=TL&modelYear=2011&context=photos-videos#/image13
(My wife also has an '07 911 in silver..https://autos.aol.com/cars-Porsche-911-2007/photos/)

And I drive this primarily to haul things, kid, and his sporting equipment or his friends, or to do shopping. It too is black/black.
https://www.acura.com/PhotoGallery.aspx?model=MDX&modelYear=2011&context=photos-videos#/image4

Primarily I guess you could say we are an Acura family. I have owned and presently own many cars, and I really like Acura's. We buy new Acura's every two or three years. I plan to keep the latest MDX and give it to my son when he turns 16 (provided he continues to perform well in school and stays on the honor roll)

I bought this car in 2009 (I call it my mid-life crisis, indulgence car) and it is a nice piece of U.S. engineering. I drive this car only in the spring and summer. It's "viper red" w/red/black interior
https://www.edmunds.com/dodge/viper/2009/

We also own an 06 Land Rover (white), which I hate because it gets horrible gas mileage.

[ReaperKK]

Nice list Tempus.

How do you like the Viper?

[Dublagent66]

1996 Honda Civic EX.  Great car.  Low maintenance.  Saved lots of money driving it for 12 years.  Ready for something a lot better (like a Nissan 370Z).
