Author Topic: What kind of car does everyone drive? System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-12-2016 11:14 PM                 It has been 650 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-12-2016 11:14 PM                        Thought I would reactivate this old thread with my new ride. After 24 years of driving Ford Rangers, I upgraded to an F-150. I liked the Rangers because of the size, but now that I'm married I find that we like to go places with other people, and our other car (Ford Escape) is too small to haul anybody in comfortably, so the pickup is basically a family car combined with a hauler for me. It's got about every gadget known to mankind on it which is cool - the Rangers were pretty bare-bones. I'm still learning what everything does.  |  IP: Logged Domenic Howard Film Handler Posts: 3 From: USA, Dallas, TX Registered: Oct 2016 posted 10-19-2016 09:46 AM                     Honda accord 2005 for me  |  IP: Logged Sascha F.

The Acura is definitely not me nor something I would think of buying, but it was free. So luxury is ok and every time I have to fill up with premium I just say to myself "Free Car, Free Car."  |  IP: Logged Michael Kurtzke Film Handler Posts: 45 From: Ashburn, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2013 posted 10-19-2016 03:36 PM                     I bought my 2014 Honda Accord V6 about three years ago and I love it! It gets great gas mileage on the highway [~38mpg] plus with about ~280hp I can get around pretty quickly if an auditorium goes down!!  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 10-19-2016 04:47 PM                     My current cars- 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix 1990 Ford Festiva(currently down with a bad fuel pump) 1993 Ford Festiva(Heavily modified, I use it for my newspaper delivery route) 1996 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado Z71 All but the truck have a manual transmission.

I can't drive it as much as I'd like, It's just sitting around taking my money, but I feel obligated to keep it for sentimental reasons!

And... A stock completely unmodified 2002 Ford Crown Victoria LX. Interesting thing is both the 4.6 Mustangs, Crown Vic's, and Mercury Maurauders, and Grand Marquis all use the same engine just with different tuning, intakes, and shift points (on the automatics). I once acquired a black P71 (Crown Vic Police Interceptor) with a blown engine which I wanted to build into a mock Maurauder by adding an after market exhaust and a manual 5 speed tranny from a Mustang but I never got to it and ended up just junking it $400 down the drain. It's too bad would have been a great sleeper/drag car.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-13-2016 07:17 PM                        Since I'm really allowed to have a girlfriend (according to my wife), this is about as close as it gets. Bought this back in November of 2014. At the time we bought it, it hadn't run since 1995. Parts of it came home in the bed of my truck, the rest came home on a trailer behind my truck. Took us until October of 2015 to get it to run. Rebuilt or replaced pretty much everything. It's an original August of 1981 build.  |  IP: Logged
