Your Car

[Snaker]

Ok, I know some of you are old enough to drive and have a car. This is the thread where you can share your car with us.

On left is my 1990 Acura Legend, and on the right is my 1995 Toyota Corolla. A word of wisdom to potential used car buyers: 90 Acura Legends, as clean as they may appear, begin to hit major problems between 190,000 and 200,000 miles. Problems like radio malfunctions, CV joints begin to fail, A/C stops working, hoses, and in particular the high pressure power steering fluid hose, begin to leak, radiators go bad and get majorly clogged, and water pumps become faulty. I hit every single one of these problems with that car, and ended up pouring like $1,200 into that car, which is how much I bought it for in the first place! And still, it overheats after awhile; though, for it's credit, the repairs helped a lot. I have never had a problem with my Corolla. It's less luxurious than the Acura when it comes to little amenities, but it's much, much more reliable, drives better, and has a better radio (when the Acura had a working one, anyways).

Share about your current, or past, cars.

Personally i know nothing about the car, except its a Peagout 106 has a 1.0 litre engine and goes slow as hell. The pedals are annoying, steering heavy, brakes suck and suspension feels kinda hard. I dont like it. But its all i got.

In England, insurance on that cost over £1,500 pound and the car was £700. You Americans are so lucky.

I bought a 1995 Subaru Legacy a few months ago

Not an actual picture of my vehicle, but same model/year

Nice car, especially for the mileage (180,000miles). New transmission, non-stock speakers, clean, and even smells new. $1200. I hope it lasts me without having to do TOO many repairs over the rest its lifetime.
Learning to drive a standard was really weird, though.

[Snaker]

Damn dude, you got a pretty good deal. I used to know how to drive a stick, but since I haven't done it in a year or two, I'd probably stall it out the first few times I drove a stick now.

My Corolla has 129,000 miles on it, auto tranny. Real clean in and out, put me out $1,700.

Pimpin.

I have a Black 1999 Mazda 626. It looks decent enough, but the transmission is a piece, just like all 626's. It gets me around though. Sorry I dont have a picture of it.

"I drive a dodge stratus." You are cool if you know what that is from, and will recieve a pat on the back for the correct response.

Thats not mine. Mines black but it is basicly what it looks like.

Good thing though is that I can pile a bunch of dead bodies in the back.

Mine looks somewhat like this^^^^.

Just not as new, and it has windows everywhere.

Same color, though.

EDIT: Oh, and not as long. I think its a bit shorter.


I'll try to find a pic.

That's about how much a regular car's insurance is in my area. I guess it's because of the high crime rate.

[Snaker]

Nah, that's like $400 a month, and that is very expensive. Mine is only like $120 a month.
