What do you drive?

Vain · Post by **Vain** » 2006-02-10 01:14pm

There have been several threads about cars recently, and in honor of that I thought I'd ask a question to the board at large: What do you drive?

I'm not looking for a laundry list of the after market parts you've added, just a general idea of what you drive. Make, model, maybe color and year if you're feeling ambitious. There is one other burning question I have, though: Manual or automatic?

To start things off, I drive a black 2006 Pontiac GTO, with a six speed manual transmission.

'97 Acura 2.0 CL, automatic is fine with me and I have no intentions of learning manual. Downright primitive, I say

99 Pontiac Grand Am, with the 3.4 V6. Automatic transmission as my disabilities don't allow me to drive a manual.

I vastly prefer driving manual, but unfortunately am stuck with an automatic for the time being.

97 Nissan Pickup 4x4 with a 5 speed. Shorter first gear makes for a better offroad/work truck.

1992 Ford Taurus SHO. 5-speed manual transmission.

2000 Chevy Malibu LS, with the 3.1 engine that's guaranteed to blow a gasket by 100,000km.

1995 Volvo 850 Turbo.

Automatic. Why? Well, one reason is I suck with manual and I perfer an automatic in the urban/built-up roads I'm usually driving around.

1990 Black Manual Nissan 300 ZX-3.0 ltr V6 Twin Turbo (as seen in my avatar), with a few mods

2004 Subaru Outback, automatic.
1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport, automatic.

I learned to drive a manual transmission back when I was 13 years old. I had a refresher when I was 22 years old. So if push came to shove, I could do it . . . but why? I like drivng, not jamming gears, and I don't really lose much of anything driving automatic on the newer vehicles I drive.

I had a Volkswagen Golf until it was written off in an accident last year.

For now I'm driving my brother's Jetta while my BF & I try to find a suitable car for me.

I can do stick if pushed but I'm not too reliable, especially below third gear and in reverse.

In any case, I drive a '93 Ford Probe SE... it's a nice set of wheels, nice gas mileage, and surprisingly roomy for my big frame.

Quadlok · Post by **Quadlok** » 2006-02-10 04:46pm

'87 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat 4x2. It was top of the line when I was an infant. Automatic, because, well, I have better things to do than mess around with a manual, like wipe condensation off the windows and try to keep it from dying in stops and turns, and accelerations.

91 Honda Accord. Automatic transmission. Damn reliable little car.

I lusted over that car when it first came out in 1989. I was all of 17. Drive proud, dude!

Used to drive a 1987 Pontiac Grand Am. Well, until some dumb shit thought he'd steal it. He managed to cut into the driver's side door and remove the lock cylinder. He then cracked open the steering column in a botched attempt to hotwire it, or something. In the process he somehow shorted out the electrical system (and hopefully got a nice shock), rendering it unstartable AND unsteerable. After I spent too much money to fix it, it was never the same again...

Now I drive a 1999 Altima. It's nicer, but has none of the charm of my ol' Grand Am. I miss that car, crappy as it was.

EDIT:

Erp, both are/were automatics.

A 05 Renault Clio, manual.

I wouldn't like to drive an automatic - I suspect it would get boring fairly quickly.

At the moment I drive nothing, but I prefer manual transmission. Sticks annoy the fuck out of me.
