QOTD: car

question of the day: how many cars have you owned in your life, what were they, and which one was your favorite?

i've owned three - a subaru i crashed, a cadillac that broke, and a honda i still drive - i love my honda but i had so much fun with the subaru cause it was a manual transmission

2 owned, 1 leased - first was a red 88 chevy Beretta GT, second was a lease on an 01 Jetta and now my favorite is the 04 Passat. Gonna keep this until it dies. Maybe...

5: 1983 Oldsmobile Firenza, 1968 Mercury Cougar, 1988 Chevy Cavalier, 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix, and 2005 Pontiac G6. The best car was the Grand Prix, but I loved having a muscle car ('68 Cougar) even though it wasn't very practical.

5 cars....Hyundai Excel, Jeep Wrangler, Buick Regal, Jeep Cherokee, BMW Z3.....Favorite was either Jeep Wrangler or BMW z3.....

I have owned a Saturn and a Toyota pick-up. I prefer my pick-up – there are so many things you can do with it.

only 2 cars so far. the geo prism had serious electrical problems, but it took a pretty good beating until i totaled it. now i have a mazda protege, which is my first manual trans and i love it.

Three cars. The current car I have--the only one that I bought new--would be my favorite. It's transportation that isn't falling apart. It's paid for. What else do you need in a car?

i have owned 0 cars. i always drive the leftovers in the family. when i was 17 in inherited an 87' toyota camery and currently i drive 00' honda accord. of the two, i favor the accord. i love cars, so hopefully i'll have some nice ones later on in life. and perhaps even a motorcylce!

3. my first was an 89 chevy celebrity (carla), and i currently drive a 98 nissan sentra (sydney); in nz i had a 91(?) mazda familia (melody). i liked melody the best because she was red, all the other ones have been white. and the right hand driving was fun too!

I drive a space ship.

My dad’s best friend is a used car dealer, so whenever something goes wrong with a car (and it could be totally minor like it needs new tires or brakes) I trade it in and get something newer at or around the same monthly payment. Hence my long list of cars:
1. 1985 Black Buick Skyhawk
2. 1990 Maroon Buick Century
3. 1992 Red Suzuki X90* My all-time favorite. It was a 2 door 4-wheel drive with T-tops. It looked like a little red roller skate and it was so much fun. I cried when I traded it in.
4. 1996 Silver Ford Focus
5. 1999 Green Volkswagon Jetta Wolfsburg Edition
6. 2001 Silver Suzuki Grand Vitara
7. 2003 Green Mazda Tribute

4 cars. '93 VW Fox, '01 Saturn, '99 Chevy Cavalier, and the favorite was an '82 Mit. Starion. Headlights popped out, digital MPH. It was like driving the Enterprise!!!

I go through cars like I go through women..
’80 Chevy Citation..transmission blew two weeks after I got it on the road
’78 Audi Fox – Never got it inspected..junked it (would have been a fun car…VW Rabbit only with a trunk…smaller Jetta)
’80 Mercury Capri (Ford Mustang) – Drove it to death. Sold it with no seals in engine, transmission, no exhaust, carb was shot. It took more oil than gas per mile
’84 Nisan Sentra – Spent more time in the garage than I was able to drive it. Traded it for the Nova.
’88 Chevy Nova – Loved it, but totaled it after my first payment (6 month no payment deal..haha)
’86 Chrysler LeBaron – Was a turbo and fast and economically replaced the Nova. Fast to need repair as well.. Clutch, 3 transmissions, axles replaced twice only to have the engine block crack after the drive-train was properly rebuilt. Traded it for almost full value for the Subaru
’90 Subaru Legacy – Ugly, but was dependable. I gave it away when it hit 180k miles
’94 Toyota Corolla – No pep, but was dependable and great on gas. Crashed it at a punk show which was followed by a flood that froze inside (think ice rink times 4). Junked it and got the Exploder.
’99 Ford Exploder – Love it. Replaced the trans under warranty.

3 cars, 1 bike (and I'm buying the second bike TODAY!!!). 86 Pontiac Firebird, 96 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 2000 Mazda Protege. 2000 Buell Blast, 2002 CBR 600 F4i (buying today). The eclipse was def. my favorite. I love driving a manual transmission.
