Somehow, PLEASE DON'T ASK, I deleted this whole thread that somebody had started. Stupid mistake, sorry !
I know AgentWood had just posted something about the Saturn (???) she is driving, and someone else a Jetta TDI I think... please repost that again...
As for myself, here it goes: my Toyota Corolla 2004. Not very flashy, but it does the job and it's very economic and reliable.
I got a 1984 Nissan Bluebird made in Australia, which means its got a 2 liter and non-independant rear suspension and is more solidly made than the overseas versions. Still goes allright, handles better than most new cars, and doesn't look too bad. Ah it also costs me almost nothing to maintain.
this is as close as you lot are going to get to my car, since I'm too frigging lazy to actually take my camera downstairs and take a picture of it, then walk back upstairs...well, you get the idea...it's the same color and body design, but my wheels are just a little bit different!!!
Allan, those Sunfires do look very similar to my Cougar...it's a fooking conspiracy, I tell ya!!!

Oh yeah!! Gotta say that I like the 2003 over the earlier Sunfire models.
I'll give Pontiac props for that, but not for the dreaful looking Aztek.........

That's a picture of the 'good-looking' Aztek, the one without the two foot high piece of plastic siding.
1990 Dodge Daytona ES (mine has a black interior though)
A smooth, pimped out ride if there ever was one 
I currently drive a Pontiac Vibe 2004... that color exactly.
I must say I love this car, I wasn't sure when I switched from my SUV to it, but it has the same amount of space, if not more!

First photo I should have taken a few without the Austin cutout because it is a great photo.
Second photo was taken after emergency repair and rescue of Wifey's van. My normal snow car had a flat and the Jag has most of the tools because they tell me Jags fall apart.
as my current car (shitty astra) is being repaired this is what i've got at the moment

It was me who posted about the TDI-except its a new Golf i`ve got,not a Jetta! Anyway,i HAD my dream car last year,an Audi S3. Fucking great it was,full spec-the works!However,the wife wanted to buy a new house so it had to go! Had an Astra for a while,but got the Golf last month and have to say its nearly as good as the Audi.
Originally posted by Jeff just in case anyone over here is wondering what a Fiat Panda looks like...
Thats the US model. Mine doesn't look anywhere near as gay - even if it is light blue.
Do I really have the oldest car here? Mine is 20 years old, he has just had his birthday. Been in the family since he was 2.

Originally posted by The Man Up North Well, Jeff, I was rather thinking of something like this:
Ahh - Dodge Charger - Brother in law has got two of those - no kidding. Me, I have got an old classic saab 900 turbo which gives any modern sports car a run for its money:D

1997 Nissan Almera. 1.4L, red & it goes pretty well. Here endeth my knowledge of cars. Oh, and it's got probably the most tempremental Blaupunkt radio/cd on the planet. Which refuses to play cd-r's.

All Blaupunkt's are tempremental. The Blaupunkt MP3-CD in my Panda refuses to come on on a cold day.

:( Have sort of the same problem. Just switching on with a cd in on a cold day is usually ok. But try changing CDs & it's a case of I'll hear the new CD sometime today. Probably won't go for a Blaupunkt whenever I get round to changing it. Now I see why the previous owner left the unit in the car. (Standard on 97 Almera is Philips radio/cassette I think).

You`ve got a pet bear with a stereo built in? cool... 
All this talk of cars is making me so jelous. I've been taking lessons for more than 3 years and i'm a shocking driver. Every year I keep saying at least I won't be having lessons in the snow next year but i'm running out of time again!!! I'm gonna have a massive celebration when I (eventually) pass. I've been learning for even longer than it's taken New Order to come up with a new album!!!
Still, I haven't decided what colour car to get yetXxxx
Originally posted by oldmonkey I've never driven in my life.
I had several lessons and i was CRAP and SCARED.So DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE was my motto.Wish i never had drank beer instead!
Originally posted by oldmonkey I've never driven in my life.
It's the best way, i'm telling you. Twenty quid a lesson for three years, I wouldn't even like to think how much i've spent. Still the examiners face on the test I failed was a treat. She looked absolutely terrified, I was that bad!!!
Nah, it's got to better to be drivenXxx

Ferraris are my favorite exotic supercars. They do not make tractors like the Lambos. Pure racing heritage.

You probably wouldn't see me in your rearview mirror if I came up behind you on the 17. Those Fords are pretty big.

Yes, Tractors were Lamborghinis first and still one of their major markets.

If we are lucky enough to get NO back here when they support the new album we should perhaps do a bay area get together?

Agreed, but that Chunks guy might show up!

Yep, I took the picture in a cemetary.
For a living? Currently, mostly, I mooch off my parents while I look for a job.
I always liked those Toyuota minivans. They remind me of ScoobyDoo. I have a Mercury Villager/Nissan Quest. After spending $1927 USD to get the transmission rebuilt I doubt I will ever get a Japanese front wheel drive vehicle again.
That Jag must be nice in that Iowa winter twist! lol
A got a Jeep Cherokee just for that reason. I love playing in that damn thing, although, it has gotten me in a bit of trouble. I learned the hard way that just because it is a 4-wheel drive doen't mean you can actually go anywhere. Blasted comercials! I got stuck on some railroad tracks after I left a Royals game all wasted. Pretty embarassing, but luckily the cops didn't come.
Originally posted by twist I have a Mercury Tracer for snow duty. We'll, after I replace the brakes, again.
Just stick your feet through the floorboards like Fred Flintstone.
