Obviously everyone here likes things with engines...so what kind of car do you drive?

Here's mine, 1990 Miata. As a daily driver I also have a black 2004 Lancer Ralliart with dark tinted windows. The Ralliart is the top Lancer model (then it goes into Evo). 2.4L DOHC MIVEC engine, 16" alloy wheels, red brake calipers, spoiler, power sunroof, leather steering wheel, white sport gauges, sport suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, strut tower braces, etc... It also has the "hedgehog" spines on the top of the rear window like an Evo.

'92 Dodge Dakota. 100,000 miles and still going strong. One of these days I'm going to vaccum all the dog hair out of it so I can get better gas mileage ... one of these days.

2009 Toyota Prius. Gets an honest 50 mpg with heat/AC, bluetooth, nav system and camera, and dvd working. Guess that's why 125 mpg on my mb in 100 degree heat or 30 degree cold doesn't impress me that much. Still, a lot more fun than driving the Prius.

My wife has a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It averages 36-37 mpg. It is our "gas guzzler".

My Christmas present is a hitch mounted bicycle rack so I can transport my mb to places I won't get killed trying to ride. Not many of those around here.
 
I drive a 2003 Toyota 4-Runner and an 86 Chevy Blazer with 35" tires(the dog's car) and my wife has a 2006 Mazda RX8. I'm trying to talk her into selling her car due to it not being so baby friendly(she's pregnant). If she does, I'll give her my 4-Runner and buy a new Camaro! I think I might end up sleeping in the shop for a while, but hey I'll have a redneck's Corvette!
Just kiddin', but I do love those new Camaro's.

1998 Volvo V70 R Wagon - Strange group of us obsessed with this model car that was only manufactured from 98-00. It has a 5 cyl engine, high pressure turbo and all wheel drive. I have a bunch of mods and push almost 300hp. It's amazingly fun to drive. I have room for just about anything but my bike - working on that now. pics at YOCHECKUSOUT - pics, games, jokes, music, porn, what more do you need?

That is awesome. I really like it, nice backdrop too!

I drive a 2007 Honda Civic in light blue. I love how it feels like a little race car it's so light and agile, not so big on the power with a 1.8L 4 cylinder though. It's pretty standard except for CD Player, power doors/windows, cruise control and side airbags. The digital gauges are fun and so is the gas mileage.
 
I have a Dodge Motor home, 84 model. 6 mpg on good days. All the comforts a person needs. A rack for 2 MB.s. I drive it to the store 2 times a month for food. 2 15" Kicker Subs up in the loft and 12 speakers all over. 4500 Kw Onan generator uses 1/2 gal per hour with everything running. 24000 roof a/c. It's good for an old biker. (c)
 
i had a 96 impala SS. the black cop car-lookin' monster with the LT-1 motor. it was the fastest, most powerful luxury sedan ever built in america till the caddy beat it in 2000 or so. the thing had a governor on it that'd cut out at 150. re-did the computer, got a chip, throttle body and exhausts on it, and my top speed was "M." as in, the speedo only went to 160, so the needle was pointing down at the "M" in "MPH."

judging by the spacing on the speedo, was probably near 180.

it got stolen a while back, and i've been fighting with the insurance company for months. for what they're offering, i could never replace it. they don't understand that they only made 45,000 of them, and they're worth more than blue book auction value...

my other car was a 1975 honda civic hatchback with a rollcage, no interior, 1600 non-cvcc motor from japan with dual mikuni sidedrafts, S&S header, IMSA body kit, 13x7" wheels with yokohama road race slicks, tokico struts, anti-sway bars, simpson belts, courbeau seat, custom home-made strut mounts to increase my camber angles, battery in the rear for an almost 50/50 weight distribution... car weighed almost 1000lbs, with 160 horsepower. 1/4 miled in the mid 12's, top speed of 140, one of the fastest in it's class when i used to autocross it.

the city towed that away due to circumstances beyond my control, and it's probably beer cans now.

i hate cars.

I don't drive at all anymore......it was a medical not legal decision... My wife threatened to call the highway patrol if I didn't stop. Funny but now I have a brother in law who has to drive, because he can't walk. She thinks that is terrible too but doesn't call on him lol...
