College applications are taking up time now. Once I finish my early applications, I will try and get one for winter. So how much was your car?

$27k-ish D: It isn't like a normal one it's liek some limited production special edition version, with a 6 speed tranny and AWD. A cookie to who looks up what it's called...

I own a 1991 Ford Taurus that I'm desperate to get rid of since I hardly drive at all these days.
Though that might change if I ever get a Caddy... :)

I've got a gold 2005 Chevy Malibu (that I just finished paying off!! wOOt!!). No bells or whistles. I was in a hurry to buy a new car after my last one blew up, so this was kinda my second choice. I really wanted a Camery (which hopfully I'll get next time round) but this was cheaper.

They sell those Smart Cars in Canada too. I would love to zip around in one of them, but I really don't think it would handle well in our winters. Same goes for the Mini Coopers. Alot of people here own them, but they all tend to disappear when the first snow hits.

I bet it sounds funny when it drives by. XDDDD

I always imagine they sound like the Jetson's car from the cartoon.

Tajtan

And they gotta have a pansy horn, too.

Last week on TV they were showing a car that can drive sideways as well. Makes parking easier but it looks ridiculous, only one person and again, a deathbox.

What I think looks really awesome is the BMW 1 Series. It's a little RWD 3 door hatch. What could be better? Oh right, it's BMW! So you know it'll be fast, and'll get you there in style. It's just like an update to BMW's late 90's 3 door hatch attempt, the 318ti, but new! zomg I can't wait for them to be sold state-side, then it's like bye bye Golf D:

That isn't mine, random off Google. Mine is similar and the same color.

Will be upgrading to Suzuki SX4 in the next year. Nice affordable, zippy little rally car. Will cost me around AUD$25k and I can afford to spend an extra $5k on extras. Less likely to get pulled over by cops or be stolen. Perfect :D

I would get a Cooper but they tend to get stolen pretty quickly around here. And since mine will be parked outside and the neighborhood isn't so good... Yeh, better off getting a less expensive car.

I saw a triumph about a year ago. It looked awesome. I didn't even think they were still making bikes. Taj, I must drive the mini when the weather sucks. The mini's not mine. It's my parents. They got it for both me and my sister. She doesn't like it. She wants a honda civic for some reason.

Kaoru, bikes are more and more popular. You'll be able to sell the monster and get good money for it when the time comes.

Wow, I'm clueless. I did't know minis came with auto. Kinda defeats the purpose. Mini's good for city driving. Gets a little hairy on the freeway. Good tight steering and suspension I think. Come to think of it, I don't think the mini is much bigger than my bike! :D I would'nt buy one for my kids..........I'm gonna have a talk with my parents

I was going to get this Mitsubishi FTO at first but it's not convenient... Plus parking this on the street where I will soon live (moving out) means it'll disappear as soon as I look away.

No, Kaoru, I'm not following the same career path. My parents have won't have control over me when I'm 33 (they have very little control as of now), but if I get a motorcycle, I doubt they will help me in the future with payments or wills just in case. I've wanted a motorcycle since my 9th grade algebra teacher showed the class a picture of his. It was bright yellow, and he named it "Jetstream". It was beautiful. I forget what company made it.

Using the "i'll ride responsbly, be mature....." routine will never fly cuz the know you too well. Be IMMATURE. Be angry, and sulk. In afew days moms n pops cave and ask, "you'll never grow up will you?". Just glare at them. Inna couple of days, you're out lookin at bikes with your dad.>:D

Anyways it looks like I might be getting a new car when I am allowed one here, which should be in a week or so. My dad is worried about the idea that I will be in Mississippi during hurricane season and all that crap so he doesn't wanna send my VW R32 here. I don't blame him, it's probably the last one in North America with the low mileage it has. So instead he might send me my sister's '08 VW Rabbit (we are a VW family I guess D:<). Well she just got teh boot off the insurance cuz she got another ticket and will not be eligible to get back on till November, so she won't be driving till then and I leave here in October so yea. I guess my dad figures if we get hit by another Katrina he could have an '08 Rabbit replaced easier than a '04 R32. The only problem with my sisters car is it's automatic D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D:
