What kind of car/truck/motorcycle do you have or want? I want to get a white Nissan cube Krōm because it is a nice practical small station wagon.

Why not go with something cool like a ninja motorcycle? They are a lot easier to park that's for sure. I currently drive a scion xA. That's the one that looks like a little SUV and not the one that looks like a box on wheels. Anyhow, one day I plan to get a ninja just for fun.

My parents have two of the old style Scion xB's which use the same engine as the xA. The xB's driving position is like the driving position of a bus.

I added a photo to the above post.

Anyhow, one thing that a lot of people seem to miss out on is that they make the mistake of getting a car with an automatic transmission. Unless you are a total gear shift zero, you will always do better with a stick. Automatics are for married guys with kids. The automatic robs you of about half your horsepower.

When I test drove the scions, I drove both versions. The automatic was smooth and got me from point A to point B with no shifting. When I drive the stick, I was unintentionally burning rubber at every light because I wasn't used to the car's performance. There was a HUGE difference and they both had identical engines. In my case, its 1500cc.

Ironically, that's the same as my honda CRX, but the scion gets a lot more HP out of the same CC's.

I drive my partner's car. I went and got a driver's license when his lymphedema got bad enough that it was just too difficult for him to drive me to the grocery any more. The car is a Cadillac El Dorado and we got it because he's 6'8" and can't fit behind the wheel of most smaller cars. I'm only 5'6" but I've learned to handle it pretty well.

Before I got my driver's license, I went everywhere (except the grocery for big trips, but even there for smaller trips) on a vintage Schwinn bicycle.

I hate driving and actually just canceled my insurance and sold my truck, but if I was to start driving again I would love for it to be in a 03 bmw 325ci :D ... honestly though, I don't see it happening lol.

My dream car is a 1964 Mustang convertible, just like Tilly Masterson's in Goldfinger.

I currently have an '83 Chrysler 5th Avenue. Its not a bad car......its finally getting close to 50k miles on the odometer. I'm currently "pimpin" it out lol. Going to tint the windows, get some 100 spoke wire rims and paint it metallic black with an undercar Streetglow kit.....I'm thinkin neon green.


But I'd LOVE to have a Bugatti Veyron. I mean really....can you top a car that can do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds and a top speed of 256mph? Too bad I don't have a couple million $$$ to buy one......


On the more practical side.....I'm really diggin' the 2011 Ford Fiesta for some reason.

I'd love to have a Bugatti Roadster like the one Isadora Duncan died in. That was a sweet car.
