Okay, this one is almost as political as the soda pop thread. If you drive, what kind of vehicle do you drive, and what kind do you want?
I just got a 2000 chevy s-10. I have simple tastes so a little pickup is exactly what I wanted. But if I could have more....a 1949 Mercury and an early mustang!!!

I drive a black 1996 Chevy Lumina (my baby lol). But I'd rather maybe get a surplus M-1A1 Abrams so no one would flip me off on the highway.

Right now I ride the bus  but I did own a 1985 Celica. White with Black and Red interior. I'm actually probably going to buy it off the guy I sold it too, just because he doesn't take proper care of it.
My ideal car(s)
1953 BMW Convertable, Black with Tan Top (beautiful)
1961 Lincoln with Suicide Doors (The old time mob cars)
2000 PT Cruisers (The mob cars of modern day)

Don't drive cars, hate the damn things.
The only thing i drive at the moment is a Warrior. Not to fast at the top end, but don't have to worry about parking
I would like a BMW F650 Dakar.

I drive a 1987 Nissan 300ZX, Burgundy with leather interior, 5 speed and T-tops. I am the original owner.
1. 1980 Mercedes 450 SEL with 6.9 engine
2. 1982 Chevy Corvette, White with tan interior and glass tops.
3. Any year Range Rover.
I do like European cars. The only American car I trust is a corvette.

Volkbert, Congrats! You'll be going Erich's way soon!
I don't care for cars, thus I drive a 13 years old Suzuki Alto, also, yet lovingly called, the Sardine can...

Congratulations, Volkbert! Hope everything will be fine!  [img]smile.gif[/img]
And I drive a new BMW 323i 2003 (I have just replaced the one robbed last yearmoney) with the insurance. It's black, leather black interiors, four doors and really beautiful! However, I don't like to drive. My bf is the one who drives it. I love having him as a chofer!
