Author Topic: What kind of car does everyone drive? Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 02-03-2011 03:06 PM                    2006 Camry automatic. Over 200K miles on it so far, and no major problems. Before that it was a 2004 Camry and before that a 96 Corolla which had over 250K miles on it and still had the original clutch. Toyota has been good to me so far, but my next car... I'm not sure.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 02-03-2011 03:15 PM                     2006 Mustang GT with 5 speed manual. Just paid it off last month and ready to have some fun doing a few performance mods. Let the fun begin.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

For the most part, trouble free but the Check Engine light has been on most of its life for one reason or another and I refuse to take it in just to clear it and it will go on if you so help as use different gas). -Steve  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 02-03-2011 03:39 PM                     quote: Sam D. Chavez 3.2 engine in my 2006 Quatro. Maybe going toward a new S4. Call me jealous! The S4 is pretty sweet indeed, and a lot more refined the the M3 in my opinion, although I've never driven the M3. After my lease is up on the Jetta, I'm considering a GTI just for pure fun factor, but AWD would be nice. I have driven an Audi A3, which is pretty awesome too, but it feels bigger than the GTI.

I've been quite good about not modifying the car, because once you start down that slippery slope... However, I did finally buckle last fall and upgraded the rims from the stock 16-inchers to 17-inchers that came on the Bullitt models in the early 2000's.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 02-03-2011 04:21 PM                        Blue Audi A4 (like the speaker) 2009. Redesigned model. NOT black, white, grey or tan like most European cars. Picked up in Germany, drove it at 120-160 mph. Brought it to USA and I attempt to keep it under 110.

Just make sure when your attempts fail, to not get caught. I was arrested in October for going 120 in a 55. I didn't know you could be arrested for that, but I sure did find out. $3,300 later my license has been re-issued, and I'm clear to drive again.  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-03-2011 05:44 PM                     2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT with Duramax LLY diesel.

"LLY" is just a product code, not an acronym. It denotes the generation of Duramax Diesel engine (LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, LMK, LML, LGH). Diesel engines are great for towing trailers. My parents have two Dodge Ram trucks with Cummins Turbo Diesel engines. They're used to pull horse trailers or trailers loaded with dozens of square bales of hay. Diesel fuel is stupid expensive these days. So is the upkeep on horses. My mother uses an old 1990 Chevy Silverado to get back and forth to work; it runs on regular gasoline and gets a little better gas mileage.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham".

I'm so sad Volkswagen decided not to bring them back to the U.S. But I got lucky with the Sport Quattro. The fella I bought it from sold it to me for 9k instead of the 12k he was asking because I am such a fan of Audi's. Yeah, I'd kind of like to see the new Scirocco up close. The photos aren't flattering, but I'm told it looks great in person. I've actually owned nine VW's over the years (2 '74 Super Beetles, a '75 Dasher (with a factory 8-track), '79 Rabbit, '84 Scirocco, '86 Jetta, '89 Fox, '90 Corrado, and '00 New Beetle). My dad was a VW mechanic and service manager for years, so it was sort of in the blood. I am kind of interested in test driving the new US Fiat 500. That thing looks like a fun beat-around-towner.  |  IP: Logged
