Seems to me that most of us Geeks are of driving age. So I'm curious as to what kind of car you're driving. I think the car you drive says a lot about you, so maybe you can describe what your car says about you.


Not what you want, or what you've owned, what you're driving around today.

And for better gas mileage, the "cars" of our forefathers:

1996 Thoroughbred, 0-7


1993 Thoroughbred, 4-7


Because if it's not a thoroughbred, it's not a horse!

27. Board Game: Focus [Average Rating:6.58 Overall Rank:1316]

2000 Cherry Red Ford Focus, with the spoiler on the back. Why the spoiler? Because it makes it look fast

Seriously though, I absolutely love my car, I've had it since it had 35 miles on it, and I just went past 146,000. It is a first model year car, so it had tons of recalls, but it still runs about as well as it did when I first got it.

And, to this day, 30 MPG, just like it got the day I bought it...which was April Fools Day of 2000.

My husband drove a Focus practically into the ground (he travels regularly for work and put a ton of miles on it in a very short time), and he loved it. He's driving something else now, but keeps saying that he's going back to a Focus someday.

1992 Jeep Cherokee Laredo.

4x4, 4.0 high output inline 6, silver.

It's in great shape for as old as it is, and the dang thing will almost climb trees when I engage the four-wheel. Last winter I never had so much fun before plowing through the big snow drifts that paralyzed the city for a couple of days. Where others got stuck, I went right on by.

I'll never get rid of it.

Mazda RX8 Twin Rotor (Fnord) Black Cherry (At least when its not dirty from taking it out camping . Great handling, lots of fun. The wife wanted me to trade in the Miata for a minivan (Aggghhhhhh). So I asked for the requirements (4 doors, can fit the car seats for two kids) and guess what the RX8 met those requirements Happy Me. It has also made an interesting looking camping vehicle with the Sarbones bike rack and 3 bikes mounted on the back and the interior full of camping gear (Fishing rods sticking out of the windows), myself and my son we have braved many dirt roads with it.

2007 Kia Optima

I had a 1995 Honda Civic until this past September. The air conditioning quit working several years ago and successfully resisted all attempts at repair. I was headed to the WBC, and my mother told me to take her car. She was concerned about me driving 14 hours in the late August heat with no AC. So I left her mine and took hers and had a great trip. When I got back, the first words out of her mouth were "You need to get a new car!"

I like the new Kia, but I miss the mileage I got in the Civic. I especially miss the mileage I got in the Civic after the air quit working.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica, light blue.

What my car says about me:

I have two kids, and end up driving them around quite a bit. I don't want a minivan, and don't need lots of cargo space, but wanted the optional third row of seats for the times when I'm driving around friends of my kids or for when the four of us take my mom out for dinner, or any other time when we need just one or two more seats. Last December, my husband spied this Pacifica (used) at a local dealership. The price was right, the trade-in sweetened the deal, and it became a Christmas gift for me. So basically, my car says that I have a great husband.

Actually sir, I am "pushing" sixty and have fond recollections of spending a crazy night in the spring of 1969 as a passenger in my pledge brother, Larry Merritt's '69 Mustang Fastback on a fraternity scavenger hunt.

Pasties and chicken assholes, but that's another story.

The newest 'Stangs are still the most appealing although for my money, there isn't enough shoulder room to make them enjoyable to drive.

Since march this year, I have a black BMW 120d.
Since then, I am a consultant doing some 45.000 km /year, which is pretty much for german standards. I wanted a cool, affordable car.
Diesel is common here for cars and much cheaper then gas, so I went for a Diesel engine and automatic transmission - manual gear shift sucks in traffic jams.

So it tells you I am lazy! laugh

shorter than Dr Owen's Boxster, too wide to be an alley cat, not designed for cold, wet conditions, but a semi-sports car with cavernous cockpit/cargo capacity [such as?], so just right for Essen. No problems in seven years apart from the sunroof. And the regularly popping lightbulbs. And the tyre wear. And they haven't made them for years. Pearlescent blue is a plus, as it still comes out of the carwash like this.

To work - N reg (1994) Red Ford Fiesta. 75k on the clock. No mechanical problems ever. About to be replaced, probably with a Skoda Fabia.

With the family - '02 Blue Vauxhall (Opel/GM) Zafira also 75k on the clock. Several mechanical problems but hanging on to it because it is just so damned practical for a family of 5.

Of course if I had a choice I wouldn't have a car at all. $15,000 worth of car.....imagine the games I could buy with that.

The game is for my dream car, which has always been a green Volvo.

What I really have is a 1995 Honda Civic that's in its last days. It's burning oil and running on 3 cylinders, and has various other minor ailments. I'm proud of it, though! It's a trouper. And I've adapted my driving to not being able to accelerate. I predict my trusty Honda will be taking me places (including Alabama for Xmas, I hope!) long after the predictions of its death. And of course the back seat is full of games.

2007 Dodge Magnum SXT Burnt Red- Just got this 2 months ago after trading an '03 Ford ' Stang Convertible that I had for 5 years. Its a huge Power Wagon w/ all the toys( but a Hemi').People say' oh, what a nice Station Wagon", and I reply" ITS A POWER WAGON, MEN DONT' DRIVE STATION WAGONS!!! I love the quiet power, smoothness and room that it has and the Mustang did not have.Lots of room for plenty of games. When I get the urge to drive a sports car, my old 92 Dodge Stealth fills that itch.

Not only the best car I've ever owned, but the best I've ever driven. I might replace it with a hybrid Rav-4 whenever they come out. I've got 130,000 miles so far. I can't see why it won't do 250,000.

This image is almost identical to my Ram. $80 to fill it up, nearly 6,000 pounds dry and the Dodge makes the best trucks on the market.



Like the guy down in Texas with the F-150 I don't bother to wash it or pamper it... just change the oil and 90,000 miles later it still runs great.

I think this is a great list idea, some of the people own cars that I would have picked to match them, others suprise the hell out of me.

It's simple but reliable. Largest trunk capacity in its class I believe so I can lug lots of board games or groceries and a stroller around
