212,000+ miles and stills runs like a car. Title: Re: what kind of car do you drive Post by: captain_nintendo on July 13, 2006, 08:52:51 AM 1996 Ford Taurus GL. I love this car. Same..... It gets me from A to B, I sold my 65 Mustang after my divorce so I could buy this car. It was a far safer way to travel with my son. Probably going to buy another project Mustang eventually.

My Passenger Side Door has issues, but I am never a passenger in my car; therefore, to the passenger who broke it DAMN YOU! Title: Re: what kind of car do you drive Post by: Izret101 on July 13, 2006, 12:10:11 PM Currently 97 Nissan Sentra with 150,000ish miles still runs amazingly.
My passenger side has some problems to... So to the old lady who T-boned me DAMN YOU! Yes even with the total decimation of the passengerside the car drives fine. 80-95mph on the highway for 30ish minutes can testify to that. Car i will have in the future depending on if i can or cannot get out of my current contract 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 50,000ish miles. fully loaded power everything. White 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 50,000ish miles same price as the 2000 but doesn't have sunroof and not sure about anything else. Oh and this one is black.

My mom had one, and she loved this car. It is perhaps her favorite car -- well, next to the Buick Renvovizes (I can't spell) she drives now. Our's was a '92 in white. Fun little car, and I was a wee lad when she got it. At the time, we couldn't afford it -- morgage payment, dad had job problems, etc but we stuck it out and got it. I miss that car, and it was replace by a Dodge Caravan. I almost weap when we left in the caravan -- we sold that a year later.

Is the 2004 the more recent body style? If it is, it is a much better choice than the other two. If not, then the GT will be much more fun to drive. I drive a white 2000 Bonneville, and I am very happy with it. I will be hitting the 60k mark on it within a few weeks, depending on how much I drive. Nothing has ever really broken on it, I had to replace a windshield because of overpacked gravel trucks though. And this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but the stock radio leaves a little to be desired. I'd replace it, but I don't want to give up steering wheel controls or the speed sensative volume.

Title: Re: what kind of car do you drive Post by: Tynstar on July 14, 2006, 02:19:56 PM I hope to be driving a new Charger R/T or Maxima by the end of the year. Will be nice to drive something different then the 2001 Dakota.
Title: Re: what kind of car do you drive Post by: David_J. on July 14, 2006, 11:26:30 PM Mmm... I was hoping to get a SRT-8 when I graduated from College, but when I found out the new Challenger was green-lighted I was intrested. I'll wait a few more years, because I hope you can get it with a V6. I hate how if you want a R/T Magnum or Charger (i.e. with the Hemi) you need all of this luxury crap, that I personally do not want. I also thought about buying my mom's SUV in a few years... we'll see.
*sigh* wish I had a time machine to go back in time and buy my dream '70 Challenger. Hydrobond, you CAN keep your steering wheel controls if you get an aftermarket deck! http://www.cardomain.com/shoptype/Steering+Wheel+Audio+Control+Interfaces http://www.crutchfield.com/S-LbAmYStsCLR/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=127SWIALP Enjoy!

I ended up with the 2000 Grand Prix GT So far i love it. But it is definately going to be a gas monger... Thus far i am VERY pleased with the car. But i still wish i could have gotten the newer model car because they had all the same stuff but newer, more flowing, modern, aerodynamic design style. I am lucky it isn't considered a sports car(coupes rock :)) or my insurance would be WAY more. Between insurance and car payment is approx 30 hours of work a month. Title: Re: what kind of car do you drive Post by: David_J. on July 17, 2006, 09:39:14 PM Man, that's a week's worth of work for me, and I don't have a new car. My car is a gas monger, but the lack of payments, comfyness, handling and accelration, and egronomics make my car a keeper.
I worked with a girl who worked more than that a week and couldn't even afford a USED '05 Focus with cranks, manual locks and the only things it had where AC and a CD Player. But she is/was stupid and will go bankrupt because of the damn car. Who would pay $300 for such a car. Economy cars are NOT economy when you are a teenager. |
