Must be nice to have that cool of a car to drive around; I just got my license too (like 3 weeks ago?), and I've been driving around my mom's '96 Taurus GL (four door, steering wheel shifter, front wheel drive). Not exactly the "pimp-mobile", but for right now, it gets me around fine. I will probably have my own car within a week or two; just something that runs and is in decent shape (no rust-buckets!) and will not give me too many problems down the road. Mr. Green

Dark blue 1994 Buick Century. My family inherited it from my grandparents (no, I wouldn't personally choose a Buick!). Nothing remotely fancy, but it's held up very well considering it has 160k+ miles. It has never needed much more than regular maintenance, and runs well enough (even if the 0-60 time is measured in minutes!).

I've been driving for nearly 4 years, mostly on a red 1992 Ford Tempo. I got my learner's in September 2002, and my driver's in August 2004. My final road test is coming up in a few weeks, so wish me luck! Wink

I might be driving a 1994 (I think?) Chevy Corsica LT (yeh, with the 3.1L engine). It just has to go into the garage tomorrow morning for a go-over; if there isn't anything majorly wrong with it, it's mine. Price tag; $1,200. Mileage? 107k. Only thing that might keep me from buying it? The transmission fluid was brown and smelt burnt, so something might come up there, otherwise...it's miiine Smile

A '94 Toyota Tercel. Not much bigger than a shoebox, which makes it slightly uncomfortable for someone who's 6'3. But, it is a 4-speed stick, everything manual, which makes up for being the size of a shoebox.

I only have a bike license, I love bikes. I ride a '96 Honda CB500. If i hadn't lost my job i would probably be riding an '06 Yamaha FZ1, banks don't like giving loans to unemployed people...

If i had a car license i would like to have a mark 2 Ford Escort (dunno what that is in America), or a '69 Ford Mustang (Mach1 or Shelby) or '69 Chevy Camaro SS (Australian versions though 'cus they are RHD)

I now drive a 2007 Ford Focus SE hatchback model. It's a pretty sweet ride, small enough to handle well in the snow and park in tight spaces, big enough to make me feel like I'm not in a tin can and can haul all my crap around (horns, etc). I like it Very Happy
