OT: What kind of Car do you drive? Why is it better than the car posted above you?

[JMick]

I own three cars

2015 nissang GT-R
2016 BMW m3
2008 Honda Ridgeline

my m3 is stick, my gtr 700 horespower and I can hold more sheet rock than the accent above me.

insta @jojipoji if you would like to see them.

Nice collection

I have a catless 85 Mustang. It's better than the above because it has a V8 and sounds like it

2017 Toyota Tacoma. The model has had incredible reliability over the years (we will see how 2017 holds up) and I believe holds its value better than any car on the market--I paid only 5k or so more for a 2017 as opposed to a 2011 on the lot. Its 4x4, manual transmission. Absolutely no bells and whistles but fun truck.

Bought a Tacoma in 2009 new. V6 Auto, 4WD, regular bed.

Traded it in in 2014. Had about 50k miles. Got 75% of MSRP for trade in value from a GMC dealer.

I'd buy a Tacoma again.

2015 Nissan Altima
also a simple 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer for when I want to keep a lower profile

'14 Honda Accord 6MT. They'll have to pry a stick shift from my cold, dead hands. I think the Accord and Mazda6 are the only 4-door/family, entry-level sedans you can still get with a manual transmission.

It's better than the 2015 Altima posted above me (I'm assuming) because I owned a 2004 Altima and it was a crappy vehicle. Lot of issues over the years, including it shutting off on me while doing 80 mph on 95 South.

I have been looking at the new Accord sport with the 2.0T and the 6spd. It's down to that, an Si, WRX or another GTI. The Si is just super slow which is holding me back from pulling the trigger

2016 GMC Terrain. I like it because it's not money pit like my 2006 3-series was.

 

[jojipoji]

Thank you. V8s are awesome. I had a w205 c63s and that thing sounded amazing. I had a 08 gt500 a while back too.

2008 Volkswagen R32 with 44k miles. Gotta sell it in the next few months, though, since the wife and I are expecting our first this fall. Probably getting a Compact SUV of some sort to replace it. Definitely won’t be as fun to drive.

No vehicle to brag about (2013 Mazda 2 cute sporty hatchback with a 77-74 sticker) but I can relate. Sad day when I traded my '86 Toyota MR2 for a (horrors) Dodge Grand Caravan. Yeah, you know, kids.

For all you guys still driving stick shifts, how many took your driving test with a stick? Me, 1961 VW Beetle. I think the DMV guy gave me bonus points for the K-turn with a stick shift.

I've checked it out online many times. The interior is beautiful and I've read good things. Too bad I've got another decade or so to go on my '14 lol.

Lol mine is more bark than bite. It's only making 300/350 but it sounds great with the full exhaust and H/C/I. I did an old school 90s explorer build on it with an old letter cam to keep it 'period correct'

 

[Scrutineer]

1965 AC Cobra (real one, one of 998 made over 6 years) and 1965 Shelby GT350 (one of 562 made in that year). Both sound great all the time!

Both driven for fun, local car shows, occasional concours, and at least one annual tour with other originals. This June we'll join 15 other original Cobras for a five day tour starting in Saratoga Springs with stops in Old Forge, and Watkins Glen and then back to Saratoga Springs. Not daily drivers but regularly driven and personally maintained except for major issues like rebuilding a trans or engine. Good retirement diversions.

 

[Drumguy]

Currently BMW X5 really nice but I miss my 4 series convertible. Not better nor worse than anyone else's.

 

[kobe]

My car gets 32 miles per gallon.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I have a 2003 Mazda 6 with 180,000 miles on it. It's better than the car above it because it's been paid off for years and if it were to fall into a million pieces it would mean nothing to me.

 

[minidarren]

2016 Cadillac CT6. Its got 19k miles on it and so far has had significant engine work as well as the camera system no longer works. It beats a 2003 Mazada 6 because it is not a 2003 Mazada 6.

Was it certified pre owned?

Pontiac Aztec. I also have a beat up RV. They're better than the car described above mine because they are both non-descript which is good for my profession.

Stay away from the Challenger. You know deep down it’s not a smart move.

1959 Peugeot Model 403.

It was new off the lot. Engine troubles at 700 miles.

That's because it's a Cadillac.

I have no words, that's truly shocking.

 

[Tenspro2002]

2015 Prius 4 -- got it 6 months ago with only 12K miles on it.

It gets 46 mpg, and optimizing it via the different driving modes is an interesting challenge, though it annoys my wife. On a 4-mile trip from daycare to work last week, including on the highway, I managed 61 mpg.

My other car is a sturdy, reliable, 2008 Accord. Nothing sexy, but after 82K miles (33K mine) it shows no sign of wear. I'd drive it for another 10 years if we weren't planning to upgrade to something bigger in the next few.

 

[dennismenace]

1997 Ford T Bird 4.6L V with 148,000. I am planning on replacing it with a 2017 AWD Dodge Challenger when the prices come down a bit more. It is the third T Bird (Cougar) I have had. Exceptionally comfortable with plenty of power and safety. Winter brings studded snows and concrete blocks in trunk and I won't miss that. Have to drive Mrs. Menace's Buick when the snow is bad . Built on the Lincoln Continental platform. Was a nice car for the money. I like the V6 8 speed transmission in the Challenger which gets 20/30 for gas. Like the retro look.
