What Do You Drive?

2011 Hyundai Sonata --- I love it!

[brewing]

Being from the Motor City it's all American labels in my driveway.

2001 F-150
2003 Lincoln Town Car
2006 Cadillac STS
2009 F-150

[Tcards-Please]

2010 - Hyundai Vera Cruz - Both of us
2012 - Hyundai Equus - Her
1979 - Corvette L-82 - Me (when the weather is nice.)

Stripped the tranny/motor on this 1973 Oldsmobile Omega CS this summer, and all else, including driver & passenger side glass/rear seat/carpet/dash/internal panels/ front wheel wells. Replaced the front end with a fiberglass Nova clip-on.

I'll get rid of that a$$ ugly shelby stripe paint and restore it to the original Omega yellow. After the engine/tranny is replaced I'd like it to weigh about 2600 lbs. @ 350-400 hp. I'll be under 12 seconds of fun.



Oh, right now I drive a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville.

Just bought my wife a new Honda Odyssey, so I'm driving her hand-me-over 2006 Acura MDX SUV. I was rocking a 2003 Ford Explorer............so....an upgrade for me too.

That Kawasaki should be named Buzz Lightyear........looks just like him!

My wife has a Santa Fe as well. I didn't think I would like it because it was a "Hyundai" product and the reputation they used to have. Driving it sure changed my opinion about the car and the company. She hasn't had any problems with it and I would recommend it to others.

I also have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, LE edition, with the 274hp turbo engine. I DO have fun with the turbo!!!

Just traded in the MBZ for a Ford C-Max SEL hybrid. I've been driving it for two weeks now and I am thrilled with it.

I was able to ride in one of these last summer before they were released. I have buddy who is an engineer at Ford and was one of the main guys who worked on it. The one he had featured the self parallel parking where the car did all of the work. Pretty sweet!

As for me, I drive a 2004 Explorer Sport Trac. Just passed the 87,000 mile mark. I plan on riding it until the doors fall off.

Best,

Andy

My fun car

[drmondobueno]

And that is fine with me. For the first time in my life I do not have daily car envy, because the vehicle I wanted would not do well in my back yard...a Quattroporte in the Eastern Sierras...nah. So I drive a '96 Forerunner with 232,000 miles. Handles off-road just fine, gets me to Crowley (big trout) and back just fine. Scratches just add character, mud and dirt fit me just fine. Can't seem to hurt the guy. Everything looks okay and kinda works...like this beat up old fool.

Still, that Maserati....

P S. My wife drove Porsches and Mercedes for decades but they don't handle saddles and hay worth a damn. Drives a 2009 CR-V and asks me to drive back from Bishop after she has a Margarita or so.. seats are too short for me but handles mud and snow just fine. We are so done with SoCal.

Still, that Maserati, midnite blue....blowing up 395....

When I'm driving to a tennis match or softball game I take the 1957 T-Bird for a ride.








When I'm taking my wife and 2 daughters for a cruise we take the 1960 T-Bird.

I am LOVING those old cars!

I drive a 1996 328is. Nothing fancy, but my buddy was the original owner back when we were in high school and I bought it from him in '04. Plan on keeping it forever as long as I can maintain the rust which is forming in all the wheel wells and the trunk lid and non-structural sub-frame.

This pic is about 7 years old. My kids have since drawn on it with sticks, hit it with baseballs, etc and seems to be a magnet for parking lot fender benders even when I park it far away from others, so its lost its shine. Maybe I'll restore it when they grow up and move out, in the mean time I'll just enjoy taking corners faster than I should One day I hope it will be my "vintage" car like ya'll have from your early days, before cars started parallel parking on their own, and changing lanes, and lights turning on automatically and keyless entry etc.

p.s. I love walking/biking around town when I can and bike with my 4 & 6 yr olds to daycare during the nice summer days. Have been THIS CLOSE to being car-less but just can't pull the trigger.

Hey Ted, do you also wear a hat with ear flaps and leave the blinker on? Just wondering...
