Favorite Cars

1) Everything by Ferrari
2) BMW M6
3) BMW M5 (2005 model)
4) Recent AUDIs
5) SLR (McLaren) - yeah I'm working for MBUSA, but that's the only car I like so far from the MB line

Currently driving... big surprise coming....

Daewoo Nubira 1999 and Renault Laguna 96 (i'll be suprised if anyone knows what that is) lol lol lol lol lol (I'm trying to get rid of the Daewoo though, so this might not be counted)

28-04-2005 12:54:02

I know what a Renault laguna is not very commen in the US my aunt has one she doesnt live in the US. And i am driving a 2000 Honda Accord 2DR 5 speed V-tech Black.

Phbs83

28-04-2005 12:56:00

I doubt they even have it here in the US) Renault left the US market in the beginning of the 1990s.
This is the car I drive home (in Europe), but I still like it more than the Daewoo)

I dont have a car. I get my GF to drive me everwhere.

She had a 2000 Cavalier, but some ass slammed into her when she was parked out front of her friends house, and totaled it.

Her new car now is a Chevy Cobolt.
This Model is the biggest piece of shit ever[/color81a43ce487]

It's Chevys newest car, I'm sure you have all seen the commercials. roll

To make a long story short
In the three weeks she has owned it, the Air Conditioner broke..TWICE. And every time it rains, the trunk leaks (Ruined everything she had in it)

She is already looking into lemon laws to see what she can do about this. cry

Oh yea, when she first bought the car, the letters on the back spelled "COBOL LS". They never put a T in the end...
So she went back and got them to fix it, now it says "COBOLTLS"...no space between the cobolt and ls.

Currently a 94 F150, but I've been saving up for 2 summers (Currently junior in high school) to buy a Vette. By the end of this summer I should have enough to buy a 1985/1986/1987/1988 Corvette with a 4-speed.

A junior in high school with a vette? That's a little odd, good luck with the insurance. When I'm not on my bike, I drive a crappy old Chevy truck, and I still get screwed on insurance.

I'll actually be a senior when I have it. And yeah it is odd and insurance will be hell, but I'm #1 in my class and going to college on a free ride, so I won't have college loans hanging over my head. I've always wanted a vette, so I'll see how it goes. And btw, we're talking $5000-$6000 Corvette, like early 80s when they were cheap, not a C5 or anything.

vw diesels fucking rock. they have awesome torque, good HP, and run great. my bro just bought a 99 jetta TDI. damn thing gets 58 mpg going 60 mph, and it gets 47 mpg doing 90 mph. we tested it, he bought it on ebay. we live in MT, we flew to pennsylvania and drove the damn thing back. 35 hours straight. you can get a power chip that takes it up too 260 some torque. thats alot of torque for a small 4 cylinder car. the thing pulls the mountain passes with ease. accellerates up them past 90 on 6% grade. good cars.

on another note, is that s2000 a front or rear wheel drive??
