The car I think you drive

Just a silly thread here. Its a little game we play at work with the new person. Try to guess what kind ofvehicle the new person drives, and why. I'll have to adjust it to not the new person but you friends on here. Please dont get offended it I get you wrong. I"ll go first.
Muslimwoman; I reckon you"d drive a sunny yellow new vw beetle(in england but I have nooooooo idea about egypt)

17th: black motocycle. usually on 1 wheel not 2.

Tao : red motorcycle by night and a inconspicuous sedan by day

Quahom: A big red ute(pick up)

China cat: Sensible sedan for the working week and then I reckon youd be like one of theWild Hogs on the weekends.

Just a bit of a laugh, now you pick on someone else. Or any of the above

Love the Grey

lmao!!! I'm flattered, flattered!!!

In reality, I drive a Chevy Cavalier, base model, with a big freakin' dent, and could never skate very well. Mostly, though, I walk.

Ha! My partner loves the smart cars. Yet we both think they are a bit dangerous... at least until all the SUVs get off the road--and even then, you'd have to watch out for 18-wheelers. Hell, I used to drive a VW bug, and there were times where I was almost blown off the road as a tractor trailer passed me! Imagine what highway driving would be like in a smart car. Scary business.

greymare · 10-01-2007, 09:50 PM

close you guys. Why does everyone htink I'd drive a family car. aaaaaah its because I do. !!!!! 99 Holden VT commodore. I dunno if you lot even have that type over there. But what I really want is a Chrysler PT Cruiser. OH they are soooooooo sexy. They kinda of remind me of an affordable version of the car in ZZtop film clips. Oh, now I'm probably showing my age. lol Love the Grey

Actually, I haven't driven in almost two years, but the last time I did was in a white 1998 GMC Sierra pickup truck fondly dubbed "Trigger". Before that was a '91 charcoal grey Thunderbird, but my favorite I have ever owned was my 1967 metallic blue Mustang with a white vinyl top. Her name was "The Dove".

Then there was that ski boat I used to pilot.

InPeace,
InLove

Q: Two Black motorcycles, one classic, one custom (on two wheels most of the time). The "classic" is for runs exceeding 1000 km, while the custom is for fun jaunts around the country lanes. A White Ford Ranger Edge (ute) which is my work horse and get to work ride, a PT Cruiser (which I gave to my son to start his family in a safe ride, a Rav-4 (which I gave my other son to start his family in a safe ride...different environment), and a 2007 Mustang GT 500, which I hate with a passion, and gave to my ex-wife (along with all the headaches and costly insurance and gas guzzling that goes with it). Each got what they wanted, most got what they needed. But I own and drove them all, and I'm content.

greymare · 10-02-2007, 02:07 AM

Naw, it was a good car for a teen in 2003, and a young family in 2007. Lots of room and safety features. I'm pragmatic (it is gold in color, so I splurged a bit)

lol.

A pickup (ute), is just that, a work horse and haul around. White is the easiest color to match and maintain (practical), BUT, it does have a 250 hp v6 under the hood, and slip differential in the drive train, and it can plow four feet of new snow with chains on only the two rear tires.

The RAV-4 is ideal for Alaska, so the kid never gets in a jamb, since the weight and drive train is over the front wheels. They are oversized and the engine is one of Japan's finest as far as compression to weight ratio. ergo, he nor his wife has ever gotten stuck in a snow drift.

The Mustang, I should never have bought. It isn't me, and it isn't worth the cost of the upkeep. but I did it anyway for love.

greymare · 10-02-2007, 03:45 AM

I never had in mind the weather conditions would factor in. here it just doesnt matter. Its all about the looks baby! hahahhaha . Here a pt cruiser is a luxury car and for you guys its a teens car???????? Things are different i guess. A new pt is about $35 ooo here. and no on e is selling them 2nd hand. They are hanging on to them. My first car, which I ownd with my dad was a 1964(?) EH HOLDEN wagon. It had been garaged all its life and the original owner passed away it was put under cover for about 15years. The little old lady was moving into a retirement home and was selling everything. We bought it for $350. As I was only 15 dad drove it and then I moved out of home and I dont know what happened to the car. so sad. If i ever see another one for sale i'd buy it. now of course they are collectors items. aaaargh........
