What car do you drive? If you can, find a picture ofyour model and post it here...
If you don't have a car...just tell us what car would you drive...

My car is East-Europe classic: Zastava Yugo 65 1.3L

Soon to be (within this week!!!)

1966 Mustang. It's in gorgeous condition! The seats are nearly mint condition. Upholstery was redone. Runs great. I can't wait to drive it home.

(Not the actual car, but same color and body type. Mine has a few minor rust spots.)

You mean a Bentley, right?

Nice car man...I would also give money to drive beauty like that...

What did you mean by Bentley btw?

I want a 67 Chevrolet Impala

I was hoping someone here watches Top Gear. Jeremy couldn't get a Bentley for the Albania Mafia Challenge and used a Yugo instead and called it the Bentley.

Thanks, I'm gonna enjoy this car and all THREE gears it has! Hahaha!

That's not Yugo, it's Stojadin.
Stojadin is Zastava 101, Yugo is Zastava 102. Same model only that Yugo is smaller and faster...

I've had to delete a few posts, please don't attach non wargaming pictures to Dakka, use an external hosting service. Much obliged.

Mine, different color though.

My latest ride:





2011 Rocker-C with Heartland rear end, Vance and Hines pipes, Screaming Eagle air filter, custom paint by a local artist, and a few other custom parts.

Since my wife is deployed I also have been driving her car once in a while:

We also have a Honda Goldwing Trike (Hers) and a BMW GS650 (hers) and a Honda Odyssey (Family Truckster) and a Ford F350 crew cab diesel.

Hooah

Lol, no not really. Just a childhood fantasy. Back to the Future has a lot to answer for...

My actual car is a rather unexciting Renault Clio...



Typically though, I cycle to work on my trusty Trek 1.2...

This is my mistress.

My wife and I both have mustangs. She has a 2008 that looks like this:



I have a 2005 GT that looks like this:





I bought the 2005 last summer. I got one hell of a deal on it. An elderly gentlemen had the car since 2005. He passed away in 2009. In less than 5 years, he only put 10,000 miles on it. The guy I bought it from got a pretty good deal for it. He sold it to me for $14,500, which was a steal since Kelly Blue Book had it listed for $22,000. I haven't had any problems out of it either. It is a reallly good car.

Of course with gas prices I am probably going to trade it for a Volt or something...

Clio is a good car, fairly cheap and reliable...many people drive them here...

Nice, I once loved to drive bikes to. Until I bought a car...

Excellent bargain there...to bad you have to sell it...
NO matter, you will find something better I assure you...

Well I do hope that I do have to sell it. I am unemployed during the summer, so maybe I will just park it for the summer and not pay those gas prices. If it goes to $6.00+ a gallon, I am not sure what I will do.

Well, don't move to the UK for starters. It's £6.00 a gallon over here at the moment, which is about $10.00?

What was a good price for it in the UK? I don't know how the prices are figured into the grand scheme of things, but ten years ago, I could get it for $1.00 a gallon.


It all evens out in the end though. I bet I got stuff that is more expensive here than in the UK. Everyone is out to get your money. If you got it cheap in one place, I can guarantee something else will be more to make up for it. Then there is the differences in a Euro and a Dollar. If they were 1 = 1, then the price would be the same right?

@ Lord Scythian - I suspect we've always been more expensive then you because petrol is heavily taxed in this country. It's one of the reasons I cycle most of the time. No point in paying more tax then you have to

Good point. If they heavily taxed it here, then I bet people would cycle more here. I know I will next year. My new job will be a half a mile from my house. Not too bad since I drive 20 miles to my current job.

Ratius is a hairdresser?

Currently I'm cruising around in a 99 civic sedan nicknamed the landspeeder! but I used to have some fun rides.....
My old civic hatch with a cr-x engine in it

My Nissan 180sx SR20DET, high flowed turbo,exhaust,Apexi safc, upped boost


And my Nissan Skyline GTS-T RB25DET, full exhaust high flowed turbo, more boost, carbon clutch...


Ah the memories, had some not quite legal fun in those babies!


Nerdfest09

My main rides"

09 Specialized Tarmac expert. Full carbon is definitely a fun ride to and from work just about everyday.

I also have an 09 Nissan Frontier


and occasionally drive my wife's 09 Impreza hatch.

I drive a 02 gti 1.8t. ecu ko4 turbo, 1.5 drop. And i'm good looking, lots of tattoos, and possibly sporting a popped collar, plus I play blood angels. Yes, I am a douchebag.

Ratius is a hairdresser?

Im hesitant to ask.
Why?

I drive a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, dark green inside and out. It has the least scratches of any car I've ever owned, which is significant. I went through a long phase where I had excellent luck finding cars for $1,000 or less that looked terrible, but ran reasonably well for two or three years. I once even purchased a 20 year old Toyota Celica for $150, and drove it for three years courtesy of wire hangers and duct tape.

....I wish

This is what i drive. (At least when my parents give me the keys :( )
