[Fleet 500]

A wide variety of cars!

Here is my 4th car ('95 Lincoln Town Car)...

[gdoane]

1975 Chevy Caprice (used, actually used to be a Fire Chief car in Michigan, cop stuff)
1974 Chevy Vega Cabriolet (looked nice, ran like crap)
1979 Ford Granada (pathetically nerdy but functional)
1964 Chevroley Corvair Monza (Convertible, fun as heck but maintenance was hell on wheels)
1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon (Tank. Loved it. Only car big enough that I felt safe in.)
1974 Plymouth Duster (Feather Duster, way too light but it was quick as heck!)
1983 Suzuki GS450 Motorcycle. (Sweet machine but it was gonna get me killed someday.)
1984 Ford Bronco II. (Outgrew it, couldn't carry kayaks so I gave it to my little brother, he still has it.)
2008 Ford F-150. That's a Manly-man truck that can carry my Kayak and go fishin'! I ain't buying anything but full-sized trucks ever again.

[wayoverthehill]

Well, right now my 2006 Cadillac CTS is sitting in the body shop with $13,000 damage to the rear end. They are going to fix it but I suspect it will never be the same.

In the meantime, I'm driving a 2009 CTS rental, courtesy of the other party's insurance co.

[angelicmadrigal]

1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon (Tank. Loved it. Only car big enough that I felt safe in.)


Was it gold?

I used to date a guy in college that drove a 1974 Oldsmobile something or other,and it WAS huge and was a tank. Him and his dad rebuilt/refurbished classic cars.

Nope, it was dark brown. Had a 4-barrel carb that was kind of funny because if you punched the gas, it would like "gasp" for a second and then coast, just for a little bit, like it was saying "are you serious about this?" and then you could hear the second set of barrels open wide and the car would accelerate like a bat out of hell. It would actually squall tires doing 55 MPH. It felt like the carburetors were sucking the oxygen right out of my lungs.

Obviously, I didn't floor that car often. Scared the heck out of me when it started lighting up the tires. Great car when it was being tame though.

Daily drivers are a 2001 Jaguar XJ8 and 2007 Range Rover. I'm negotiating with the dealer on a 2010 Jaguar XKR. The one I want has been sitting in the showroom unsold for a month now. I'll have to keep grinding them on price.

Do you have any Grey Poupon?

[Stantz]

a newly purchased Jetta (the Germans really know how to produce automobiles)


and a 1992 Maza 929 with about 90K miles on it.

(this is what it looks like exactly)
Looks like this
http://img1.classistatic.com/cps/kj/090804/742r2/544932k_19.jpeg

I don't know why i love it so much,
It's just an insane car, i never see any other 929 on the road. Whoever designed it was an absolute idiot.
The car has heated seats, cruise control, power windows, 8 speaker system.
BUT no cup holder, glove compartment, or digital clock, it actually has an old school clock with arms (I'm not kidding).
I never even upgraded the sound system in the car, It still has the original cassette player, and i keep a case with my surviving Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Soundgarden tapes in there, so it's basically a time machine to 1994 :)
I guess i just cant rid of it because of the sentimental value, I've had the thing since high school and im 33 years old now, it mostly sits in my garage.

[JimGP20]

I drive a dark blue 2004 Ford F-150 STX, and my wife drives a dark bronze 2004 Chevy Impala.

A 2004 Chevy Surburban with 87,000 miles on it.

A 1958 Massey Ferguson M50 tractor, restored with a new grill and a brush hog...it moves slow but it's great in the field.

[Lima India Bravo]

Do you have any Grey Poupon?

Nope. Just the plain yellow stuff.

[khigh]

Just got a new cattle guard for the Bronco and started working on the paint job. I really need to get some pictures of her when she is finished. Took the top off for the first time in its life yesterday and it was awesome!

She is now white with a flag hood. Going to get the sides airbrushed next week with one side being an ad for the Tea Party group here plus part of the Constitution and the other side is going to be a Field Artillery scene. The back has a "This Truck Kills the Environment" slogan! Adding lift kit after we get our tax return and then a system.

She only has 55,000 original miles, so I hope I get to have her for a long time.

[ArmyMAJretired]

I drive a 2003 Honda Civic

Wife drives a 2005 Honda Prius

18y/o son has my 2000 Honda CRV at college w/180,000 miles on it but the engine and transmission only have about 100,000 OUCH.

[Drawz]

1962 Volkswagon Beetle.
1200cc flat four. About 60hp (IIRC)
Re-wired from 6 to 12 volts.
Electric wiper fluid pump added. Original system used air pressure from the spare tire (I kid you not).
Oil filter added. Original system consisted of a small magnet to grab metal shavings (really).
Weight, approx 1600 lbs. (I think).
Top speed, 70mph with a tail wind (85 in neutral down a mountain road).

1996 Outback - bought 12/95
Before that:
1986 Accord hatchback - bought 1986
Before that:
1978 Accord hatchback - bought 1978

Three cars in the 31 years I've held a real job.
The deciding factor was the ability to sleep in the back on numerous fishing trips over the years.
Throw in 2 Honda CB750's along the way. Wish I could still ride but I'm too old and crippled.

I got a CB 750 that I'm attempting to make a Chopper out of.

Freaking money pit.

Yeah I should start on that again.

[Wookinstien]

I got it fixed, it hides as a 1994 Ford Tempo. :redface:

I really loved my 1979 CB750L.
I just had a thing for the hum of those Japanese in-line 4 cylinders.
I got to do a few great road trips (e.g. Seattle to Jasper, AL). The big A (arthritis) has me down, but those are great memories.
I had two 750's and I found them to be extremely reliable if maintained.
I had a (very) used 1966 305 that was the biggest POS I ever owned.

Good luck on your project.

[wayoverthehill]

Actually the Genesis Coupe is only 20k to start and 25k fully loaded.Worked a couple of Genesis deals just last week and they must have seen the buyers coming from a mile away then b/c the Cp sold for $37k and the sedan for a bit over $39K.

Your price range sounds quite a bit more reasonable.

I see deals all the time where people have clearly been cheated out the wazoo and I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Sounds like someone got every bell and whistles, the extended warranty, and a very high interest rate.

Neat thing about the Genesis Coupe is it stacks up well against the Camaro.

My driver - '07 Chevy Avalanche

Wife's driver - '06 Pontiac G6 - love that little car - can't believe Pontiac is going away.

Other cars:
'00 Yukon Denali for winter driving for my bride.
'03 Ford Taurus for the kids. (my oldest just started driving)

classic cars:
'62 Chevy Impala - My grandfather bought it new.
'73 Ford Mustang convertible - I bought it when it was green. Painted it red)

[EnchantedFrog]

I've got Ford products.
Specifically a Crown Vic and a Grand Marquis (they're essentially the same car).

Always been a Ford man, mainly because my Granddad worked at the Ford Plant in Dallas for 35 years. When I was growing up, every year I got to go to the yearly company picnic and factory tour. Made an impression on me, I guess.

These big cars offer great benefits:
• Safety - they are among the safest cars on the road for passengers
• Mileage - Even with a V-8 I get about 25 mpg on the highway
• Affordable - You can buy a very good used Crown or Marque cheap
• Comfort - Its a living room on wheels, man
• Driveablility - When people see you coming up in their rear view mirror, they get out of the way :))

[RickRhetoric]

Always had a Toyota and a Honda. But no more Toyotas. Toyotas now have a deadly glitch and a nest of electronic gremlins in their computerized, electronically-controlled throttle system which is causing many of them to runaway due to unintended and sudden acceleration. Toyota owners feel very uncomfortable while driving them.

Toyota says if unintended and unwanted rapid acceleration happens, to just put the shift lever into neutral, coast down, stop and get out the vehicle. Fine! But according to many reports from consumers it doesn't always work. They say the engine is reving so fast that it won't go into neutral. And if the ignition switch is turned off while driving, all power steering and brakes are lost.

And Toyota dealerships are not being cooperative in this matter. They don't won't to discuss it and are rude, hostile, intimidating and insulting.

Toyota! No más! No Más!

[Dragon1963]

Looks like Toyota wants to go out of business.

http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2850a.shtmlI don't know about the bells and whistles but that was the sale price. That's why my jaw dropped. I've been in the car business long enough to have a pretty good idea of what most brands customarily go for. I didn't notice if it was a cash deal or had a lien so interest rates aren't involved.

I get the feeling that someone pulled a fast one. The only way I can think of that a Genesis Coupe would go for over $30k would be if you had an interest rate of well over 6%. and put all the optional equipment on in it.

[JeffR]

Subaru Imprezza Outback Sporrt

I like the AWD and that it's a wagon. Unfortunately it's not a WRX!

[Rankandfile]

2008 GMC Sierra. Got it last year brand new for a steal. What we paid for it a year ago is still under the low blue book today. I love it.

2008 Nissan XTerra. Great run-around car. Good back seat room. Nice off road handling.

1995 Chevy Silverado -- good condition -- hubby put some wood sides on it to make the bed higher, and he uses it when he goes and chops firewood so he can bring home a bigger load.

1997 Mazda pick-up. 200,000 trouble free miles -- one tune-up, new tires and brakes when needed. On its original battery.

We live in an area that is prone to severe weather, bad roads, etc. 4 wheel drives are a must. Our area is always being used for car commercials for "extreme" driving conditions.

[3ml1fl]

Currently, 2007 Ford Focus SES and 1997 Saturn SL w/ manual everything, including steering..ugh. Not good when driving around parking garages 4 times a day.
In college I drove a 1968 Mustang GT. Awesome car. Had more perks than the Saturn and talk about "Git up and Go"!!:cool:

[kat]

My first car was a bright orange Pinto Wagon I bought for 50 bucks. My dad made me get rid of it because it was a death trap. I sold it to a middle aged lady for $150.

I have also had:

Dodge Colt, Pontiac Sunbird, Buick Le Sabre, Plymouth Fury, (aka "the green Christine") Ford Taurus, F150 (2), Monte Carlo (2), Vega, Cadillac Seville, Ford E150 High Top Custom Van, Citation, Buick Regal and an Olds 88.

I really want a '72 Hemi Cuda AND a '72 Gran Torino.


.......... hey I can dream.

[Stream77]

Currently an '04 Saturn Vue. Love the Honda V6 engine but it really sucks the fuel.

Back in my youth...
1962 Ford Galaxy. Metal dash, bench seat, no seatbelts, 3-speed manual shift on the steering column. This was my "learner"!!! An absolute tank that my Dad got me for $50 and would start up without fail in even the coldest weather.

1964 Chevy Impala, '67 Dodge Dart, and '71 Olds. Money pits all.

Yes, I said from the beginning that someone saw this purchaser coming from a mile away.

2000 Subaru Outback wagon
2006 GMC Yukon (hubby)
2000 Ford Explorer 2 dr (kids)

Favorite vehicle I ever owned, LTD wagon with paneling on the sides--they had one like it on the Brady Bunch. Had the far back seat that flipped up. So big you could almost forget the pack o kids in the back when on a road trip.

Maybe your getting the Genesis and Genesis Coupe mixed up. They are separate models after all. The Genesis is a $30k+ luxury sedan designed to compete with the BMW 5-series and Lexus GS. The Genesis Coupe is the Tiburon replacement and is competing with the likes of the Mustang and Camaro.

[MarkyS]

I have a number of fun and weird cars, most of which are not restored at the moment, but I'm hoping to restore soon. Among them are two I'll bet nobody else on this forum has:

1975 Stinebaugh Leata pick-up truck. (One of only three in the world)
1962 BMW 600 Limosine (This is the four-seat version of the tiny Isetta)

I also have a '78 Fiat X 1/9, a '78 Fiat 124 Spyder, a '73 VW Westy Camper, a '61 VW single-cab pick-up truck (9' x 5' bed!) a '56 VW oval-window Beetle, a 1975 MGTD replica kit car, using an MG Midget 1275cc 4-cylinder engine in the front, instead of the ubiquitous VW in the rear, a 1975 Yamaha RD400 two-stroke twin, with ported cylinders and expansion chambers, (a heat-seeking missile!) and a 2001 Suzuki Intruder 1400VL, for cruising around Texas.

All the rest of my cars are booring.
