What do you drive/ride as a personal vehicle?

I ride my bike to work everyday even in the winter. The only time I ever drive my H2 to work is when it rains like it did this morning. I have gone a month before riding just my motorcycle without ever getting into my truck.

I'd like to see some pics.

If so, for shame.

But I don't drive it much. Just when I want to get laid, it never fails. :evilgrin:

what kind of women you attract with an H2? Can't possibly intelligent, self-confident, sexy liberal ones.

for me at this point of my life. The kind that will leave in the morning.

birds of a feather, ya know.

my physical needs met, I really can not handle a relationship right now. I have two businesses that need constant attention, I am caring for an injured daughter and have to keep tabs on my elderly parents.
Speaking of fairness, it really would not be fair to waste a woman's time with an attempt at a relationship right now.

Hell, the last woman to spend night was my ex-wife when she came to see my daughter last week. Sex with the ex (whom I truly hate), how pathetic is that?

you'd have to ask the Ex. . .

:nopity:

Because if I ask, she will answer and I will have to listen. :(

consumption.

don't forget to visit www.FUH2.com

But if I did I think it would be a LADA Niva,I have been told that it's one one the best 4+4's.

someone is forcing you to drive the H2 under penalty of death....if only it had a different engine in it!!

Multiple flat tires and a shattered double ball-bearing joint. My bike is finished.

So, now I have several pairs of shoes.

Leather Personnel Carriers. That's what my husband calls shoes.

that can haul a lot. I did get a 6 cyclinder for fuel ecomony (20 MPG).

Right now it has 2 cases of 16 ounce hot coffee cups, a case of lids for same, 15 pounds of coffee beans, 2 cases of 1.5 liter bottles of flavor syrup, 3 dozen towels, 4 boxes of straws and a case of Slim Fast (Vanilla) in the back ready to haul to the store for Monday

It also has two Kerry stickers on the back and a DU sticker on the right rear passenger door window.

So don't hate me m'kay?

On weekends we use the Vette because it gets 30 MPG

Welcome to DU, where the SUV is the poster child for all that's evil in the world.

Basically, it's like any motorized vehicle; if you drive it responsibly, walk, take the bus, ride a bike from time to time, more power to ya. I'd rather you own a Hummer and get on your bike occasionally, then drive yourself everywhere in your Civic everyday.

I've driven an SUV for years, and it's only been in the last year or so that I've started receiving hostility from self-rightous drivers of the Honda Pious, etc.

Here's mine: 1992 Toyota 4Runner.



(I don't usually park it like this!)

I live in the City and a car would cost too much to park at my location.

never had a car there, took buses and taxis, biked or walked

I keep a couple of bus tickets in my backpack and If something happens to my feet or I feel unsafe I can take the bus or L.

I envy you San Francisco has great sea food.

and I was a vegetarian at the time hehe :smoke:

Did you wear some flowers in your hair and to go Haight Asbury?

I also ride the bus and take the subway. I've never learned how to drive and I really hate cars.

tricked out 2002 Hyundai Accent 18' wheels, chrome kit, rear wing, window tint, blah, blah, blah...

Second vehicle is 89 S-10 Blazer 4X4. My Dad gave it to me when he bought his new Jeep. It's got a plow and is a real workhorse. Looks like a piece of shit, rusted out, paint is all chipped and peeling, runs on 5 of the 6 cylinders, tailgate is bungiecorded shut, but I can't part with it. He bought it new, and it's just a part of the family... I only use it for hauling garden or construction stuff, plowing snow, or if the roads are real bad in winter.

Winter kinda sucks. No getting around that.

Everyday in the City.

I love it, because I can treat it like crap, and it still runs well.

but it's paid for. And the insurance ain't to bad either. (especially since I have a spotless record).

I really, really do need to give it a bath though, LOL. It's kinda pathetic.

love my car but expensive to maintain, bty my penis is average

The perfect liberal geek car. This ones not mine, but it is the same, right down to the color.

it has adjustable gas pedal for shorties like me...

This is really cool, but wouldn't work here in snow country.:-(

Because it gets me a solid 25 mpg, has all-wheel drive (vital here when the snow flies), and is roomy enough for the child seat, stroller, diaperbag, etc. that are the constant accompaniments to parenthood. You can bet that once Honda makes a hybrid CR-V I'll be the first in line. :)

Interestingly enough, my much, much smaller Subaru Impreza gets me 28 mpg at best, so I don't feel too guilty about driving the Honda.

<on edit>
I don't think any of the current hybrids are either safe or roomy enough to accomodate my family. :(

Coming out this fall or spring 2005, depending on the dealers in your area. It's about the same size as a Honda CRV, so it should have about the same hauling capacity. (I understand about the baby stuff, since I have a young one myself)

I'd never, never, never drive a Ford anything. No one--except for suckers people who bought one--say anything good about Fords.

1989 Ford Escort. You don't need to see pics. It's as bad as it sounds. lol. Actually it's a good car. A 'little old lady' drove it. Seriously. I bought it used with only 20,000 miles on it in 1995. My Honda Accord died in an accident and I didn't want to make payments on a new car.

Now my DREAM car is my old 1973 VW SuperBeetle. Why I ever sold that car -- I want it back so badly. I lived in the snow. That car, with snow tires, went ANYWHERE a 4 wheel drive could go. In summer, I'd hit the back roads no problem. Someday, I'm gonna be driving a 73'
Beetle again.

If I have to get a new car, hybrid is the only way I'll go.

You know what's good about driving an old car? It tells you a lot about other people. It's great for weeding out people who are into materialistic lifestyles. If they put down my car, they aren't the kind of people I want to know. :) :)

Volkswagen Golf TDI.Gets 56 Mpg on highway.Love it.

3rd times the charm, neh?


forgot to mention: my daily si an 82 280ZX, n/a factory but w/ addon eaton supercharger. also have a 85 nissan p/up for chores.

working on restoring a 78 alfa romeo spider veloce.

but mostly I cycle.

very cool ride! i've owned several MGBs in the past.

dontcha just hate "spookus lucas"?

Triumph lover here!

6 cylinders, 5 forward gears, and 203k miles.

and one year newer, but the same model and color:

The last of the "boxy" era.

My late husband had a yellow TnG scooter, which is in my garage and I think I'm going to start riding one of these days.

Two-wheel drive, cushioned seat and removable arm rests.

Less than 2,000 miles on it and never driven in the rain.

My baby, 'Earl'.

:)

Drive it and show it. If i ever get photo-bucket i can post a pic.

I'll be honest here. I could afford an expensive luxury car. A Lexus wouldn't be out of my reach, nor would it cramp my budget. But I drive a 10 year old Toyota truck because it's a sensible thing to do. I don't consider myself a big environmentalist, any more than the next guy, but it seems foolhardy to blow money just because you have it.

When I see an H2, I just shake my head and wonder that's happened to people's priorities.
