What kind of car/truck/motorcycle do you have or want?

Post Reply New Topic

I do actually like those, they're fuel efficient and cheap to insure, too, but IMO they cost far too much.

when i had $$$ i used to own an avalon but when i got laid off, i had to sell it but if i had the duckies to own one, i'd love to get a moller 400 flying car. short of that, i'd love a mid-90s lincoln town car with the air suspension, as nothing just floats over the road like this vehicle.

okay thanks

I have always wanted a Ford Bronco when I was a kid, especially a former CHP unit like below

Second favorite is a 90's Ford F150

This is my current vehicle so far (took the photo myself), a 1997 Ford Explorer with a radiator problem that needs urgent mechanical inspection.

After the Explorer dies off, I'ma hoping to acquire one of the above two.

I have two street bikes; an '85 Yamaha V-Max, and an '85 Honda VF1000R, and my KX250 dirt bike.
I drive a Tacoma double-cab pickup for my regular vehicle, and my Tacoma Diesel 4x4 rock crawler sometimes.



One of my Aspie obsessions is Diesel-powered cars and trucks. I have a small collection of them, which I keep in good shape; stored indoors, and I don't drive them much at all so as to try to keep anything from happening to them. A '79 Toyota 4x4 Diesel, '84 Camry turbo-Diesel, '85 XtraCab turbo-Diesel, and an '84 Corolla Diesel hatchback.

What year? I have an '82 Diesel. I don't drive it much, but I love 80s Cadillacs.

My current car is a 2000 Toyota Celica GT



It's not the one in the picture, but it's the same color (I dont often take photos of my vehicles).

That's an awesome car! I'll take one in bright red, please. Thank you.

That's awful! I wouldn't have a driver's license if I lived there, either.



It's adorable and I love it but there's no room for my groceries in it. That's the only reason I drive my partner's car now is because I can't bring home all the groceries on my bicycle. (If it had gears, I'd get a cart but it's a one-speed so I can't get enough power to pull anything.) If a car doesn't have enough room for all our groceries, there's no point in it for me. I use my bicycle for everything else and if I had a better bicycle, I'd use it for groceries, too.

That is one of John Steed's Bentleys.

wow, you are one of the über financially successful WP'ers, to be able to enjoy all those toys.

I Diesels too. I wish I had the money to get one.

Right now I'm just treading water trying to keep the payments up on my gas guzzling station wagon. A 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8. One of 232 that where made from that model year.

It does a 13.478 quater mile and, can seat 5 confortably with room for gorceries in the back. Just today I help my sister get some of her furniture from a "Pod" to her house. We were able to fit over half the stuff in my car.

Cars, motorcycles, boats, planes and all other modes of transportation are nothing more than a means to an end to me.


So long as the vehicle can get me from point A to point B safely, comfortably, quickly, reliably and economically....I care nothing else about them.


I don't romanticize them, I don't think they're "sexy" or "cool". I just don't find them aesthetically pleasing or interesting in any way.


Beethoven symphonies and rainforests (just to name a few examples) are aesthetically pleasing to me....cars and motorcycles?.....not so much.


Such things strike me as the necessary evils of Mordor. The dualistic ("good" only in the sense that they often make life easier on human beings) products of Rudolph Steiner's conception of the evil Zoroastrian deity Ahriman.

Less fancifully .....I merely view them as tools.....no different than a chainsaw or a hammer. Neither of which I find particularily beautiful or interesting on any level either. I'm not judging anyone here who likes cars and motorcycles. I'm just personally incapable of seeing the appeal of tools as something *OTHER* than a means to an end.

Yeah. Any old Bentley in British Racing Green will do me but I don't think they'll be in my price range any time soon!

depending on how you define "old," and depending on your price range. this is on Ebay right now:

90 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo R
69,500 miles
British Racing Green (although the seller says, "I believe it is called German Racing Green." Tch.) Tan leather with dark green piping.
buy it now price of $19,999.

Not exactly "first car" price range, if that's what you're looking at, but not really all THAT expensive.

I'm OK with my Prius, thanks.

I want this one, looks kinda like that one lol.
