Thread: You Are What You Drive

My wife and I share an '01 and a '91 acura integra 4 door sedan. I guess that makes us cheap, or smart, or something like that

And what does your master drive, Basil?

Actually I've wanted to test drive one of those S coopers for awhile now

Schwing!!!!

My previous pickup was an '87 Ford which I drove for 16 trouble free years while it accumulated very nearly a third of a million miles. I sent Bill Ford a couple of emails suggesting that good advertising might be to give the long mile drivers a ball cap with something like "a third of a million miles" on the crown and on the back "built Ford tough". After many, many months I received a reply saying thanks for your comments, we're sending them to our research department. I mentioned this to a Chevy saleman when I was out kicking tires while looking for a replacement for the old rusty but trusty Ford. He ran off to his cubicle and returned with a Chevy ball cap and asked "do you want to buy a truck?"

Bill lost a bet on that one.

Whats good gas mpg????? This thing drinks gas,like I drink Beer! As far as you know,I dont kiss and Tell

Nice clean looking car!
Those over head cam motors are quiet/smooth too. I had a car with the early 4.6 it got great mpg for a 8.

28.5 highway 19-20 city the highway miles was fantastic with the o/d auto. This was a 95 though stock everything.

I wish,but I dont wish!

I know what you mean.That Scout is a Gas toilet but I would not have changed a thing. Like I said I drive a Jeep Cherokee daily so it dont matter so much.... it averages out...maybe.

I don't give into this stereotype.

I have a WRX STI 2004 as my daily driver. It's a great daily with plenty of power and 6 speed manual is wonderful. My race car is a 95 Honda Del Sol. It's full out track ready pushing about 250 hp to the wheels under natural aspiration by way of a fully built US spec Type R motor bored out 2.0 liter, stroked, and running individual throttle bodies. The suspension is all beefed up, the interior is beefed up with stitchwelding, the cage and 5 point harness make it safe, and the LSD transmission make it grab the road like a bat out of hell.

Chick car? Hell no. It's a monster!

oh, and as far as Jeeps go, I just sold a 1980 CJ7 Laredo 4x4 w/ a 4" BDS lift pushing 33x12.5x15 BFGs. I also saw the Mini Cooper and my ex fiance and I custom ordered a Cooper S and that car is so much fun to drive. It's like a gokart but with some cajones.

I agree during the week I drive what makes life easy on the weekend I drive what makes life fun.
