What is the dream car you want to own.
My choices are interesting either a Land Rover or Toyota Landcruiser or a Toyota Hilux 4X4. All three vehicles Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has great respect for, the Range Rover and Landcruiser are in his top 100 cars list. I agree with him they are cool vehicles, plus they infuriate radical environmentalists :D

That's the kind of car my grandfather bought for my aunt when she turned 16, after he had been gone for over ten years.
The repair bills were very expensive. It's not a very reliable car, IMO.

A british car... reliable?!
That doesn't happen.

I think it's interesting that certain symptoms of testosterone poisoning are almost universally present among those affected.
Those who are unaffected often have little or no empathy.

Oh shit, you caught me, this is was one of the things I used to obess about, sorta of. I am very good at drawing, naturally, and I used to draw cars. In industrial arts, I made a clock, burned a porsche into it to, complete with working hands, and batteries. Its rather good, I didn't trace it. Although my first art kit was point ands a graph deal, in which one would erase the graph after they plotted the points and drew the rest of the image. It didn't take me long before I realized I was good at drawing and didn't need the creative imagineers set. I wish I could post a pic.

My brother drew garfield, both clocks are in my dad's house, and my mom wanted mine. She said in her psychotic words, "He stole it."
I don't know how I would do such a thing with no home computer, or a job that is even close to my level. I wouldn't expect me to lower myself to a pathetic job at mcdonalds being slapped around with a 2 day a week job at 3am in the morning. If I got a slap from a certain woman a long time ago however, I would have woken out of my sleeping beautity state a long time ago, perhaps college would have been done to, I would've went to modeling school to, and a nice family. I am not a father, I don't even look like one. I take care of my body to the very highest capacity, I look 16. Any child can relax around me, as its like playing with one their own age, and not an adult. I always things about the future, that is what keeps me going. I have my disk drive on my living room floor, both my montiors died on me. I did take the dust out of the drive, maybe when I get what I am worth, then I can buy a computer. I would open up a wellness center, tried to flush the selfishness out of this world. I could at least help, significantly, the suffering of others, including, one aspie community, to a great extent. Its my opinion, people around here go through needless garbage. Doctors are stupid :laugh:

I'd like a car that runs on profanity- forty miles to the damnit. Saying "Fucking START, you piece of SHIT" would not only make it run but would also cause it to repair itself if necessary.

I have driven an HZ, although not a Sandman.
I loved driving it, it had so much power compared to my tiny Corolla.

I'm embarrassed to say that I once had a "bug," but I cut it. I welded on it, put farm equipment, floatation/implement tires on it, souped up the motor to where it would not be very drivable on the street and turned it into a dune buggy, then later, a race car to use in the the mud.
It was a sixty seven and if I had it today, restored to it's original condition, it would be quite valuable.
I've made a number of dunebuggies - my favorite was a converted Fiat 128, front wheel drive. Someone rear-ended me in traffic and I cut that one, too. ( Basically I built a tube frame and hung the suspension and drive components on the frame. It hauled ASS!) I had the only dune buggy that could turn around on a downhill dune run, without rolling over, and streak back UP the hill, if I wanted. That one was really exciting!
No one had ever seen a front wheel drive dunebuggy!

Blue stingray corvette. Damn my depth perception.

(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_J5uyfFLgv1s/RiLLvv9cILI/AAAAAAAAALk/ZUP81AbZdW4/DSC00126.JPG)
I had a black one. It was a roadster version/convertable with a small block engine (350 cubic inches) so the handling was amazing, once I got used to the independent rear suspension.
Being mostly a Mustang, Firebird and Camaro driver, I had quite a bit of learning to do (and wiped out many times, trying) about using a Corvette. Same problem with the yellow sixty six Jaguar XKE I had.
The problem is that, once you are used to powersliding around a corner at high speed with the pedal down in a standard solid rear suspension, locked up or limited slip differential, car then the independent suspension causes you some grief!
In a solid/single rear suspension car, when you lay on the power it squats down, lowering your center of gravity and increasing traction. Powering on too hard in an independent suspension car, causes the rear end to raise UP on one side in response to the torque action and it raises your center of gravity. You have to really use some finesse to drive a Jag or a Corvette hard. It took me a long time to understand what was happening to me.
:D
What do you mean, "Damn my depth perception?"

I can never feel comfortable behind the wheel of a car because my depth perception is so bad.

Do you have any raceways in your area? I know a lot of car collectors go there on weekends in my state.

Yes, several of them. I live near Indianapolis.
I don't have a car to enter these days, though. Once the kids came, I got rid of most of my "hobbies."
The music interest can not be lessened in any way, though. It is an essential part of me.

Driving after 2am is nice, the roads are dead. Plus cars are easier to see, assuming they are using their headlights.

I have never been able to sleep and used to love going for rides at that time. Sometimes on a cars only highway near me there would be nobody around for miles and it was not lighted. I'd would get up to about 80mph and cut the lights till I saw others in the distance. I know it was dangerous but at the time 19-20 years old it was fun

I have no depth perception and I have been driving for nearly twelve years. Don't let it stop you! You may take longer to learn but you will get there in the end and may become a better driver than most because of your vigilance.
I also drove a forklift for seven years. A lot of the time I used shadows to judge depth.

The eternal soul would not be bound by the pleasures or pains of the human body. What we know as music (frequency intervals as detected by the human ear) would not be the same if we were not bound by the limitations of a human body. Same goes for the pleasure of sex, or the pains of torture. What we know is null and void in both heaven and hell.

Bah, it was late at night. I haven't smoked anything in over a week. Limbo would be annoying to me. Some think of it as complete nothingness, while still being conscious of the nothingness. I don't know how you can get any more boring than that.
I don't even believe in a soul to begin with lol. I was being theoretical.

A former neighbour of mine got cars as a present at least twice. Once with a massive ribbon on top.
The cars got smashed when she broke up with her lover the week after she got her present.
She managed to do that twice at least! :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA:
Both times the windows of her house did not survive the break up either.

I saw a Kingswood Sandman the other day! It was one of those Variety Club tour cars.
I already own my dream car but I'm sure I'll regret it once the warranty runs out :zoinks:. But on the other hand I can start modding it without voiding anything :P

^I have been wanting to know what it is for ages!

Surely Pappy would be able to guess from what I said about my car's countries of origin the other day :laugh:
It's pretty much only one of two mass produced V8 muscle cars you can get in Australia that ISN'T manufactured in Australia.
One is the Mustang and the other one is the _________.
-
Not being up on what is made where nowadays and what gets imported to Australia, my guess would be the Camaro although the Chrysler Hemis are made in Mexico too so the other possibility is a Charger/Challenger.
-
Close. Very Close! It's a 300 SRT.
Camaro's aren't here in Australia (well, apart from personal exotic imports that are converted to RHD post-import).
-
Close. Very Close! It's a 300 SRT.
The funny thing is, the 300 SRT is no longer available here in the US.
Yours has the Hemi, I take it??

Yeah, the 6.4L. Used to be able to get the 5.7L (in the 2005 to 2010 model 300C).

I have been looking at the Suzuki Vitara lately, as the Suzuki car yard is around the corner from me. I told my mum that I would like that car and she asked wouldn't I prefer a Suzuki Swift? Really, I would like something that could make it up the Collie hill with ease (Collie is where my parents live). The Vitara would do it easily.

My sister years ago had a really nice Mini Cooper. She bought it brand new (which I think was nuts) and you could change the lighting inside to various different colours. It was gorgeous and so girly. Then she sold it so her partner could buy another car that he could fit his golf clubs inside, or something silly like that.

other things that I won't be able to manage with my jittery reflexes and tendency to panic. :autism:
And you'd constantly be worrying that the program won't work and brake instead of letting the car do it.
-
I *like* driving so the idea of a self-driving car doesn't appeal to me at all.

My sister years ago had a really nice Mini Cooper. She bought it brand new (which I think was nuts) and you could change the lighting inside to various different colours. It was gorgeous and so girly. Then she sold it so her partner could buy another car that he could fit his golf clubs inside, or something silly like that.
Maybe it was just too girly for him. I think minis look girly, but I know a lot of guys like them and I think I notice more men driving them than women. I don't like grocery shopping so I only do it twice a month. With the back seats flipped down, I can cram two weeks worth of groceries for four people into the back of the mini, and that's including my toiletpaper and water hoarding problem. :dunno:
-
But they are girly.

I love Minis. Once I had a ride in one when someone from uni offered me a ride to my place from the train station. Enjoyed every minute. :)
The new type of Mini isn't cheap though.
The Suzuki Vitara that I was going on about before:

My dream car would never need payments, repairs, gas, a wash, etc.
I guess I need to ride public transport.
-
I take public transport to college twice a week. I take the bus, the train and then I walk for 20 minutes to college itself.

I ride in my dream car every day now...

That bus looks ok. It's the people you have to worry about. There are definitely some interesting characters out there.
-
But they are girly.
I think any tiny cars are considered girly, I never understood why guys like them. Someone once told me it's because of the movie the Italian job. :dunno:
-
Not sure about movie influence, but we have three very large cars, by most Euro standards.
I have tried to drive a Honda Accord, rental. It felt ridiculously small. I traded it the next day for a Suburban, only other type of regular sized car they had.
I will not drive some kind of insultingly small thing I have to fold myself into a tortellini just to get into the damn thing.
I do not have to and I will not.

If you ride that long enough you wil find out there are repairs that need to happen at inconvenient times too.
But those buses and trains do seem to miraculously clean themselves.
-
Unless the bus is resembling a tin of sardines or contains deodorant spraying teens, I find busdrives rather relaxing. Having a seat helps, but standing is OK too.

Me too, when there's only a few people (or less) on it, away from me.

I don't know. I mean, her boyfriend is quite masculine, but not a tough guy type, though he looks reasonably strong. I notice more guys in general drive them too, and I'm not sure why either. Maybe because they're pretty solid? BMWs are. I like them.

My sister got hers about 10 years ago. I prefer the styles closer to the original. :) I would have liked one with a union jack on the top. I think the union jack is an awesome flag.
But they are girly.
So they are great. :M

When I ride the bus in my city, I try to get one of the higher seats in back! :arrr:
-
^Don't you have it?
I've decided not to drive it in winter conditions.
I parked the my baby also. Took it out a few days ago when it was warm.
:icequeen:
It turns 24 this year. :zoinks:

Mine is just 17.

Yeah, those are quite fun, especially when you're by yourself.

I like to ride up high and feel tall for once. I'm only 5'2". :P

Surgarbutt likes it because he thinks of it as a sports car, a race car, a high performance car, and he drives it with that attitude too. :lol1:
