I drive a '98 Acura Integra and a '03 V6 Nissan Xterra.
The V6 kills me at the gas station, but my wife hates the Integra... she says it feels like Karting because its too low and corners really sharp. Plus the intake and exhaust makes it too loud fo her past 5,500 rpm... Go figure :?

Thought perhaps I could resurrect this thread as I'm sure there are a few more members that could contribute to it! Mine's nothing special, but I love it, and it drives and handles really well. 2001 Hyundai Coupe Gen 2 2.0L SE. The Gen 2 was always my favourite of the various body shapes, and I loved it when it first came out but of course I couldn't afford one back then, so a year or so when one came up at a good price with a low mileage I just decided to buy it! :) I know a large number of you will have much more impressive cars, but I wouldn't have anything else right now. anyway, here are a few pictures:

Hopefully a few more will share some pics now too! :)

I drive a very exciting 2002 Ford Focus 2.0L; I also drive a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2L 2dr Coupe when I don't have the kids with me!!! Neither are inparticularly quick; the Chevy makes a better noise that the Ford, the auto gearboxes are the biggest issue in both cars, put your foot to the floor and it takes 2 - 3 second to react! :(

Still, beats my 2003 Astra G 1.6 even if it is a manual. It is my first car though and as far as I can tell it doesn't make much noise at all, well except when the wheel bearing went.

I don't have a car. I can't afford to run one, and don't need one anyway. I live in a really handy part of town: almost everything is within a fifteen minute walk, and should I need to get to the city centre, it's only another five or ten minutes away on the subway. If I were to get a car, I'd like a nice mark one (or two) red Golf GTI. 8)


Me neither. I would really like a car immediately after I pass my driving test but even my love for cars cannot justify the pricing. Besides I don't want to settle for a crappy vauxhall nova so I'm going to hold out until I need and can properly afford a car.

Whats the cost of that monster of an engine? Once you get her dropped in start saving for a Hennessey TT kit :wink: .
