Hey there. I tried searching for a topic here relating to cars but I couldn't find a thing! So I'm really sorry if I missed something and I'm starting a topic here that's already been started. If so, mods please delete this right away. Being new here I thought I'd try starting a topic of my own, that's all.
But in case I was right and there isn't already a topic about cars, I thought it'd be cool to have one. I love cars and if I was a billionare that's probably what all my money would go to haha. Right now I drive a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant in pearl white. Although it's not a Ferrari or BMW or anything fancy, it's mine and I love her Haha.
I'd have to say my favorite cars are an Acura RSX Type S, Aston Martins, Mercedes Mclaren, and for some reason I love Jeeps!
So how about everybody else? What do you drive? Or if you don't drive yet, what's your dream car? Or even if you do drive, I'm sure you still have a dream car! Haha. Let's hear about 'em!

hi-loo shiny idea for a topic. at the moment my favorite car is definitaley the vulkswagon new beetle (the one with the flippy roof ... light blue ). bad taste? xoxo It is here xoxo And here xoxo
I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure what that kind of car looks like! Haha. Is it the same as a Nissan 350z? I know what that one is, and I think that's a great car. I figured since they both have z in the model maybe it's similiar or the same? Not quite sure! Hehe.

Love the thread! I drive a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherrokee Laredo, it's not too bad for a 17 year old. Except for all the frickin' gas the dang thing takes!! Err...
My dream car would have to be...a 1968 red Ford Mustang convertible with a pair of black racing stripes going down the middle. OH MAN, what a car!!! whew...ok I'm good. A guy in my town used to have one, I just about got in a wreck one day for staring at it...oh well.

Silence Dogood I love old Mustangs! You have good taste haha. Red's definately a good color for it. I also like them in powder blue. I remember when I first was going to start driving and I brought up to my dad about getting me an old mustang he was all excited since I'm a girl and his only child haha.
Fany_monkey, Jettas are pretty nice! They are really safe too apparently haha. I always see those commercials where they are just casually talking and somebody plows into them and they get out of the car and are like "Oh my God..". Those commercials freak me out haha. But I liek jettas as well.

Ooh, one of my favourite subjects! You know, I bore everyone in my family rigid, going on about my idea of flash cars. Though they do find my ability to identify cars from a front angle view highly curious I don't think it's that big a deal really, but then they're easily impressed...coming from people who couldn't tell a VW from a Ferrari
Mitsubishi Galant, eh? Sweet.... I've always been partial to a Subaru Impreza myself, though if I won the lottery there's only one car for me - a Porsche Carrera GT. Boy, I'd sell my grandmother for one of those...
I guess the slightly more down-to-earth ideal car would probably be an Audi TT - beautiful piece of machinery...and German engineering has to be amongst the best. Though a Mustang would be pretty cool too...we don't get too many of those over here though, sadly.
You can imagine what a huge trial it is being stuck with a lowly Ford Fiesta right now Well, actually...I'm not even stuck with that at the moment because it's off the road - ABS console is knackered, so I'm driving a silver Ford Focus Sport for the next couple of weeks. That's a pretty sweet car too though - heck of a difference when you're used to a 1.1 engine to suddenly be behind the wheel of a 1.8 You only breathe on the accelerator and you're doing 60 - beautiful car...I don't want to give it back!
Louise that link you posted is an awesome car. I love Porsches. I forgot about them when I first posted! Haha. I would definately be happy for life if I had a Porsche. I'd just drive it around town all day long so that everybody could see me and be jealous.
And I know what you mean about differences in engines when you can't drive your own car. Whenever mine needs something fixed I drive my parents' car which is a Chevy Trailblazer. When I go from my little sedan to that I feel like I'm behind the wheel of a bus! I like to hit the gas hard though and have it make loud noises because the little 4 cylinder engine in my car isn't loud enough for my liking! Haha.

Well, you could always drill holes in your muffler I remember, a couple of years back, I was driving an old model Fiesta and my muffler started to corrode and eventually, went into a full blown hole. Made one heck of a noise, I tell you...but I thought it was the coolest thing ever Free turbo-upgrade and my car sounded like an Impreza on Speed Not that I seriously recommend drilling holes in one's muffler, of course....
I wouldn't have said the Galant was so "little" though! Certainly not compared to my shoe-box Fiesta. Though I guess in comparison to the Trailblazer, it probably is small I've never really been fussed on SUV's though to be honest - they're too top heavy, centre of gravity is all wrong. I'm more your sports car kind of gal really - nice, low chassis, good manoeuvrability, all that jazz, you know. The only trouble is that they're *really* uncomfortable!! A mate of mine used to drive a Vauxhall Tigra which, strictly speaking, isn't in the same realms of a true sports car, but it's the closest I'm ever likely to come to one - what an experience that was...the back seat was not designed for human beings to sit in, I tell you..not to mention that everytime she hit a bump in the road, my head hit the rear windshield After going 40-odd miles in that thing, I decided that maybe my little Fiesta wasn't so bad after all!

Well I am too young to have a car but I have a few ideas of what cars I want when I can get one. Here are pics of the cars i like :
Doctor Who and Torchwood are my world! And of course Harry Potter! Love David Tennant! Proud Member of Torchwood~Flying through the rift~ Proud Member of Doctor Who
Oh my gosh! A thread after my own heart! I looove cars, talking about cars, driving fast cars, all that jazz. A girlfriend of mine asked me how I could still be single since I love cars, don't like chic flicks, and watch football. Hmmm... *pondering*
Anyway, I drive a VW Jetta. It's disel so I get awesome gas milage (about 45 mpg in town 50-52 mpghighway) and it's cute enough that I'm not driving a mini van or anything. I didn't know how to drive a standard before I bought it so my brother took me to downtown Littleton Colorado to learn, at the ripe ol' age of 24. LOL
My dream car would be a 68 Shelby Mustang (think Eleanor from 'Gone in 60 Seconds' starring Nicholas Cage). Man those things are sweet! I don't plan on keeping my Jetta forever, so when I get a new car it will definitely be some sort of Mustang. Even a Cobra if I could afford it.

I own three cars, a truck, a Jeep Wrangler and a Camaro RS. I like fast sporty cars, hence thats why I own a sports car lol. My all time fave dream car cause I love the way they look has to be a white Cadillac Escalade, with the sporty spinners to boot. I don't know why but I have always loved those SUVs, tey are awesome to look at!
