For no particular reason other than I am bored as hell at work and just being curious.
What type of vehicle does everyone drive? |

My car is a complete piece of crap. Has more miles on it than your average commerical plane and is currently roasting in the parking lot. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't start if I tried. An 87 Mercury Cougar.
I tend to drive my boyfriend's car because of this. He has a 94 Mazda Protege... cute, gets us from point A to B. Nothing fancy but at least it starts =) |

Mm...I don't know how to drive--I use a Yellow Cab to go to school, apart from those rare few days when I feel like walking.... |

2 of them..
one 1976 Chevy impala v8 quad carb 400 (thats my beast)
and a 1989 olds delta royal (silver) with 2 12's and a 350 watt amp with a alpine cd player.
i have to take some pictures some time...the beast is rusted out but the engine is as powerful as day 1 and that is my wheel burning car...so pretty much a "beat the hell out of" car heh |

Ermm.. I actually drive a 2001 Chevy Corvette. It has a custom paint-job, it's like a sunburst. The back end is a bright orange, and the front is bright yellow.. a gradual fade from one colour to the other along the car.
Aight.. flame me now.  |

hey, yellow looks good on sports cars!
"we could take my car, but it's currently non-exestant" - The Ladies Man
that movie is the best. (and pardon my shit-for-spelling)
I drive a GT Agressor. Front shocks, 21 speed, althought, it could use a new kickstand.  |

A 1990 nissan 300zx, best car ever built by nissan and arguably one of the best sports cars of the last decade. I am excited to see what they do with the new one that's coming out next year.
'01 corvette is a great car from what I read in mags. I think that paintjob could be cool but I'd have to see it. Is it a Z06? |

heheh, didn't think this thread would get this many replies, happy it did.
ballistic: Damn man, what kind of music do you blast through those?
Frosted: mind taking me for a spin?
the color scheme sounds interesting, take a pic and post it.
Adi: my upstairs neighbor works for Nissan and she was mentioning that they are preparing a pretty big launch for the new Z; but the coolest thing she told me was that they are discussing whether to bring the skiline states sides, now that would be cool.
Jez: Did you know that there is one of those in Texas, Mclaren F1 that is.
I still want a 360 Modena.
Interesting to read what everyone else drives or doesn't drive for that matter. Keep 'em coming.

i drive a fully worked holden commodore with a gen 3 V8 beast cranking inside it, twin turbo, 4-inch exhaust, dual blow-out valve, bucket seats, spoiler, massive air dam and the rest of the works. Its clearance is so minimal that it scrapes over speed humps, causing much annoyance to driver.
that is actually my friends car, which i think is phatt but also completely ridiculous
to drive. (its also completely illegal, earning him many 'friends' amongst our law-enforcing buddies :P )
Me? i drive a '91 mitsubishi lancer. nuffin special  |
