What do you drive?

I might be moving to Cleveland. I never thought about what's on the bottom of my car. I know AWD can make you overconfident but maybe that's something I'll need to consider in the future too.
Yeah it's something that barely anyone up here even thinks about. It doesn't cost much to have done too. It's about $8 for a can of the spray and if you can't get access to a lift to do it yourself, you can find a mechanic who will do it for the cost of an oil change.
I love cruising in this car, even if it isn't really anything fancy.

As a British expat in America I think the prettiest American car of all time is the 1973 Buick Riviera. Stunning and weirdly European in its American -Ness.
Stunning car!
My wife and I drove whats left of Route 66 back in 2008, took us a couple of weeks and we had a good opportunity to get off the beaten track regularly, explore small town America a bit; seemingly everywhere, rusting in fields, by barns, in ditches were these stunning old American cars, just dumped. I suppose the British equivalent is loads of Vauxhall Astra's and Ford Fiestas, ie entirely unremarkable.
2006 Ford Mustang
Too lazy to post my own pics, but here's roughly what mine looks like:
(I have black rims though that look much nicer imo.)

It's a great safety feature and makes the car handle better in any conditions - but my main reason for it is so I don't have to put on chains at mountain passes! But it's genuinely fun and rewarding to push it a little bit.
Same! Got mine last year after my 93 accord kicked the bucket.
Mine looks like this:
Pleased to see some electric car bros here. Once you go electric, you don't go back to ICE.
Tesla Model S here. 2016, pre-facelift front end, AP1.
0-60 in 4.2 seconds is fun but holy crap do you wear the tires on these cars out fast if you're always flooring it getting on the freeway. Which you pretty much always are.

I saw, what I can only guess, was a mid-late 80's Swift hatchback. They aren't common in the US. We had the Geo Metro, but this was more boxy than that.
Found it, '86-'88 Swift GTi. Not sure how rare it was around '00 but I only ever saw the one. Seen a lot of rare VWs and Hondas, only one Swift GTi. Could be that I wasn't looking hard enough.
Started loosing coolant, car was in the shop 3 times since November, issue still isn't fixed. Plus a number of electronic failures that started to appear out of nowhere.
2006 civic. Recently bought a car which ended up going to my wife. She originally said she would take the civic and I'd get a new car, but when she found out I wanted something sporty with manual trans, she backpedaled real quick.
I'll be driving the civic for a little while longer.

15 Chevy Volt
First Chevy vehicle and electric car and I absolutely love it. $20 - 25 bucks to fill the tank when I need gas which is maybe once or twice a month. Maintenance is dirt cheap too. It may not be the fastest on the road and might not be a looker, but it's honestly the best car I've owned out of the 6 I've had.

I am in the same boat, though mine only has about 200k on it.
Did you get the knock problem?
My mum's Toyota Yaris;

It's drives okay in the city and it's my dream to take it on a road trip though Scotland.

2016 Subaru Crosstrek.
It is without a doubt the most disappointing car I have ever owned. I look forward to getting rid of it.

I'm really trying to rebuild some things in my life, so I am currently driving a 2001 Honda Accord. Its a cheap car with okay gas mileage, and it should be able to last me a while until I can get something nice.
2005 BMW 330ci
In the next 30 days will be the 2018 BMW m240i
My man! This here be my m240ix
Anyway, my thoroughly unremarkable car:
2013 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 Ecoflex S. Gets me around, reliable enough, and cheap enough to maintain. Can't grumble.

The kicker was the 80s touchscreen technology
That looks like a Pipboy installed in a dashboard.

It's kinda crazy how shitty the american passat compared to what the europeans get.2012 Passat Variant
I have the 1.5 litre , theyre nippy enough when they need to be. Theyre not massively popular from what ive seen in the UK , but it beats getting getting a Yaris/Aygo/KA/Corsa which is what students typically have.
Here she is. The decals arent mine but i cba to remove them.
I drive an Audi convertible and I'm looking to downgrade to another convertible. Any recommends?
2005 Honda Accord EX
Bought it from a dealership a few years ago. Don't really have to spend much on it aside from gas and routine maintenance. My last Accord was a '94 model that lasted me a good 9 years before the transmission gave out. I think I can easily get just as much out of this one.
I'm not trying to be pedantic but hybrids aren't electric cars. An electric car doesn't have a gas engine at all.
In terms of driving experience, it is closer to an electric car than a traditional hybrid, since the wheels are entirely driven by the electric motor while the battery has range. I think the motor only drives the wheels at highway speeds in charge sustainment mode, since apparently that's more efficient.
I daily an 04 350z that I like to mess around with constantly. Fun project car, horrible on gas mileage but fun to drive.
