View Full Version : What car do you drive?

If you drive a car what car do you drive?
And what car do you want to drive in the future (also if you don't have a car).

Ok, to be honest it's kind of weird that it's me who's starting this topic, especially since I don't even have my drivers license. But that doesn't take away that I am a car freak.

I'd like to start of with a '99 or '00 saab 9-3 but because that's expensive concerning insurance, taxes and offcourse in terms of maintenance and I like the looks of a saab 900 classic better I'd like to start of with a saab 900 '84 16 valve, maybe a turbo S (Aero options) if I can get one. It will probally be a 3 door because I like these better than the 5 door versions. I also like new alfa romeo's, old citroÃƒÂ«n's (DS, but especially the SM with maserati V6). And offcourse I like the shaping of the newest BMW's and the newest citroÃƒÂ«n c5 (looks like they have a lot of simularities concerning the styling).

Also I like some american cars (but not all of them since a american car is basically a v8 with a huge body around it and no nice technologies or whatever, at least not compared to european cars...). I like the shaping and the engine block of a '68 dodge charger (B-body) offcourse with a hemi onder the bonnet Ã‚Â*:)

But I'm thinking about starting out with a '84 or '85 saab 900 16 valve (hopefully turbo S, aero options, airco, glass window in the roof, leather seatings Ã‚Â*:lol: , but that won't be easy)...

Cars can be a real pain in the ass. My first car brought a lot of costs with it. Bought it with 140K km, and drove another 80K in 2 years with it. Had to replace the engine @ 190K..... not funny :-(
However, I am fortunate that I never caused an accident, so you I a nice discount on my car insurance.

Since december 2008, I got a lease car from the company I work at.

I started with a Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 from 1996 in 2005 :-)
Sold this one in december 2008

I got a Seat Ibiza :-)
In metallic grey.

I started with a champagne-colored "Trabant 601" when I was 18:

I had to give it away when the car body broke.
Then I drove the Opel Corsa of my Mom:

After that I had this 50ccm Motorbike with 0,5 PS and 70km/h maxspeed:

Now I am driving a '97 Ford Fiesta, that just passed the "2-year-security-check". Picture is in my Introduction post (http://oldguys.nl/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=315).

In 2 Years, when children are planned, I look forward to some Audi A4:

Yes, the 16v version?
That's nice, somewhere around 140bhp? And like 8,7s 0-100kmh? If my saab plans fail I'll probally go for a alfa romeo 156 t-spark 2 litre. And if that fails maybe a Megane IDE...

By the way the seat is nice... But I'd rather have a car of my own than a lease car... But that's just me ;)

By the way the car I want is this model:

Nah, had the 8v :-(

But still, it generated 115 bhp and accelerated from 0-100 in 9.8s.

i luv driving my 1967 "russian" motorcycle with the "luwaffa" sidecar see attachment*(stock photo)
i know it's not a car but for total style it can't be beat! plus these bikes are not very exspencive even comes with the machinegun mount on the sidecar....hahahahahahaha. i couldn't tell you how many times i've pulled up to a stop sign or traffic light and had someone comment "wow...is that a harley......no....!!! then i tell them about which leaves them with an odd look on thier faces. :D then when i stop and get off the bike and the see i'm missing my right leg just above the knee (due to polio at 7 weeks of age) they are stuned but then i show them thats it's kick start only....they leave with the little grey pea in thier heads bouncing back and forth.....ahahahah hahahahah hahahah
and the damn thing is made of more metal than most cars of today. it's a tank, the side car is all metal,no plastic on the bike.please note that this is a russian version of the above WWII bike the "bmw" the russians bought five of the bmw's just before WWII broke out they reversed engineered them and they actually fought againest the germans in that war. the bakes where made unchanged Ã‚Â*(mostly) until the late 1980's i found a cmpany still selling them in saramento calf. for about $ 7,000.00 not bad tho it is hard to find parts when you need them.i started to make my own.
