Living here for 8 years and not driving has totally changed my attitude. I love seeing the form and style of cars like that GTR I posted but in truth I'm not sure I ever want to drive again.

It's been so cool lately renting a van and driver and chilling with the family in the back I imagine that's the only way I might go as far as getting a vehicle. It would also be helpful with taking my brother-in-law to the hospital since getting him in a normal car is bloody hard now he doesn't have the rod in his back and the hospital charges $60 return (and they took the rod out, of course!). I'm sure we could take seats out at the back and customize it for him.

We always rent this particular one now. I'd like something just like this with seats for at least 8, a big TV and lots of karaoke DVDs.



I think it's a Toyota Hiace with a few added bits and bobs.

My current car...


1-2 years from now...


or



5 years from now...

well you said realistic! I probably can't even afford this

I have no knowledge or passion for cars

When i was younger and flash i had to listen to my mates car conversations to know what car was 'the must have' so i could buy that, sad but true.

I think the penny started to drop when i turned up a the maternity ward to pick up my wife and new born son in a 2 door BMW coupe which couldn't even fit a pushchair in the boot at any angle


So there i am parked outide of the front of the hospital with a push chair stuck half out of the boot my wife painfully trying to get in the back seat by clambering over the front seat and me trying to fit a carseat for my son into a leather bucket seat while he cries his eyes out

But hey my mates thought my car was real 'cool'

But enough Mr pious each to their own i can look at a particular surf board and go so i can understand people loving cars

Next year.....

Unrealistic but ever hopeful....

AUDI R8

I have one, he's light blue with white stripes and roof. He's lovely.

It's lovely to drive and really comfy, but then I am barely 5ft.

I change my mind often, but realistically right now it would be a Toyota Avensis


I used to work for Toyota and loved driving them...

Girl, get what YOU want, if you can afford it or wait until you can. I'm a firm believer that if you have to make a payment on something it better be something you enjoy looking at and driving. Cuz you'll undoubtedly regret/resent settling for something else.

I really want a silver mercedes benz sedan. But with 4 kids and an extra large dog, for now I am driving a van.

ocean said:

Convertible VW Beetle - always loved them - would probably have one right now, if I could drive.

Not a car...

I don't trip off cars too much. But, like SCNDLS, I'm treating myself to a BMW next spring. I've been looking at the X5, which I'm not completely sold on, and a variety of 3 series.

I've had my current 3 for 8 years and I still lubs it. Matter fact I just picked it up from the shop. They had me in a Chevy for the last 2 days and I thought I was gonna break out in a rash.

Have you seen the new X6?

SCNDLS said:

Thanks, but I've got a ways to go.

Adisa said:

Yeah, it's up there but it's HOT! I saw one a few weeks ago and just walked around it shaking my head and and I don't really like SUVs. But it's NICE.

SCNDLS said:

Hell yeah it is!

SCNDLS said:

400 hp? Lawd!

ocean said:

you'll get your chance to feel me up sooner than anyone else!

MarySharon said:

Yah very very hot babe I use to have a 1000cc Ninja in green. A bit hard to get used to because it was so powerful so I would suggest the 750cc, easier to handle.

Wow this has got me thinking of buying a new bike now...

Diggin' the BMW 335i, these days...

or

me likes hondas, cuz i'm a peter rican

I may still do that...I just have a hard time warranting spending that sort of money on a car ..whether I can afford it or not .....but I really want it
