What Type Of Car Do You Drive?

I walk and take public transportation. I do flip off BMW drivers as often as I can though.

 

The only stereotype about drivers that I find to be true is that drivers of luxury vehicles drive like assholes. Racing around, weaving in and out of traffic, tailgating.

I had an accident as a teen that involved a luxury vehicle worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The driver was exceptionally rude, and exactly the person you would imagine to drive that vehicle. It was almost funny how perfectly stereotypical he was!

 

I live in a nice part of a big city that's just filled to the brim with luxury car drivers. Each and every single one of them drives like ass. At times, at night, I wage jihad upon these assholes by stuffing potatoes down their exhaust pipes.

 

I hope you get some significant jail time.

 

It can't be a real story, everybody knows tailpipes aren't facing towards the sky, you could push potatoes into them, but not down them.

Fake story just got faked out.

 

94 Mustang. V8 stick. 90,000 miles.


It's awesome. Now that I'm a dad it fit my lifestyle a little less, but she's a pretty lady.

 

lol

fuck you too

 

Now there's good detective work. You are correct. Unfortunately I do not have the gusto to go stuffing potatoes down pipes.

 

B'bye...

 

i've never had a car that was younger than myself
went from an '88 nissan centra to an '82 mercedes diesel to an '89 volvo 240

had to go back to gas cuz the diesel was only good to -15 degrees C

 

I don't know what kind of diesel you put in your vehicles but people have been operating their diesel rigs at temps much colder than that here. Even just this week at around -17c, no problemo

 

Block heaters... If you don't have one you don't go in those temps.

 

i would burn old veggie oil in the summer so there was always a bit of gum in it even after cleaning out the system, and i could only get to -15 with an inline rad heater (no block heater on the car). that thing would go forever though it had close to 3/4 of a million kilometres on it

 

winter diesel should be good down to -35

ive never had problems with mine...i also add conditioner in every fill up

id suspect your problem was more likely coked up glowplugs

also i do not have a block heater of any kind (have a magnetic one for oil pan in case of emergency but never used it)

 

traded my last rollscanhardly for a pair of shanks mares. more then a decade ago. and my dl with it. kindof wish i had a dl again now, so that maybe i wouldn't feel so stuck in cities.
there are five times as many people living in the little towns i grew up in, and 1/3 or less as much public transportation service. something is very wrong with this picture.

 

the glowpugs were actually pretty fresh, i think it had more to do with the face the car was over 3 decades old and not made for super cold winters.. and as for the fuel conditioner i could never reason myself into pouring even more money into my tank

 

I never owned my own car but I mostly drive a Renault Kangoo these days. 2 different ones actually! One smells like wet german shepherd.




Volvos and their drivers are now inherently connected to Workaholics (mainly Ders)! :-D (personally I love old volvos, my parents had one for decades)

 

i've had chevy and ford trucks (a panel and a pu of each) and an amc wagon. my dad had several nissan/datsun trucks(2 pu's and an suv), a willies (50s pikup, non4wd), a corn binder(i.h.suv) and a voksi bug (60s vintage).
none of which were exactly what i ever wanted if i could have had what i wanted at the time. (cargo van or panel, longbed)
also a couple of two wheelers, an early honda 55 of around 59 or 60 vintage, and a suzuqi or yamahaha, i forget which, 125.
i'd love to have the mobility, but not the pain in the ass cost of maintainence and ownership.
so unless someone walks up and hands me wealth beyond my wildest dreams of averice, something rather unlikely, i sort of doubt i will again in this life.

 

Volvo made some of the most long lasting cars back in the day. I still see lots of 30-40 year old DL sedans and wagons on the road today. They aren't the sexiest of cars, but back then Volvo invested way more in safety than they did aesthetics. They were the safest cars on the road until other companies caught up to them. Volvo was a very reliable brand until it was bought by Ford in 2000, who deliberately put in transmissions that fail after 100,000 miles.

My favorite Volvo is the p1800



It would be so cool if Volvo brought this car back with a retro modern design
