What do you Drive? A question as old as the internet

This is a question as old as AF, as old as car forums.
It's the automotive equivalent of ASL (age, sex, location).



Whats your current Ride, and what do you wish it was?



I'm currently driving a really lovely 1996 Honda Accord Wagon.
It is by far and away, the worst handling, slowest and most boring car I have ever owned.
It is a big, over weight lump of American designed and made crap.
Every now and then, it does try and remind it's a Honda, with 4 wheel double wishbone suspension and an engine with an endless torque curve, but the soft springs and automatic gearbox keep getting in the way.


What do I wish it was?

I wish it was a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Shooting Break.
The ultimate station wagon!

I also have this:

Supercharged, but other than that, I love it.

Re: What do you Drive? A question as old as the internet

Currently, I drive a 1998 Chevy Cavalier.

It's 2.4 litre 4-banger with a cracked dash and a $300 paint job (I drove it around for over a year with the colors of teal, black and red being represented at the same time on the car).

We got it from a friend of ours for about $900. It had been wrecked and he fixed it up (front-left fender destroyed) and sold it to us. We bought it because the engine - which suffered no ill effects from the accident - only had 60,000 miles on it (it now has 110,000).

What do I wish it was?

This - a Maserati Granturismo. Mmmmmmm.


We're likely going to get a new car come the spring of next year. Probably a Subaru Forester.

Nothing too special:

2005 Chevy K1500 HD

2000 Olds Alero


Oops, forgot the "wish is was".

Wish it was a 1969 MACH 1

Re: What do you Drive? A question as old as the internet

I have a 2011 Ford Taurus SHO. It's the third SHO I've owned (had a '93 then a '98) and definitely the most entertaining of the three.

My winter vehicle and camper hauler is a 2004 Lincoln Aviator.

My wife really likes her 2010 Lincoln MKZ.

It's been a few years since I had a good project vehicle, I kind of miss those days.

Re: What do you Drive? A question as old as the internet

My entire list of rides is in my sig.

Yes, that's a 1980 Mercury Bobcat (think Ford Pinto) as my first car. I inherited it from my mother when she passed away from breast cancer in 1986. It got a repaint to fire engine red, added mag wheels, a sunroof, an engine rebuild, Grant steering wheel, and two clutches amongst many little parts. It was still slow and I was lucky to get 19 mpg, but it ran forever. And yes I was rear-ended in it and survived. The all-glass hatch wasn't even damaged.

My latest ride is the Integra. Not terribly exciting given it is an LS with auto tranny and non-VTEC. But it does just fine on gas and is peppy.

I wish it were a 1993 Chevrolet Corvette 40th Anniversary Edition in wine red and 6-speed. Don't really care for the color-matched wheel centers, though.
