What Type Of Car Do You Drive?

i wont ride in pt cruisers or hhr

they look too much like hearses

 

I'd like a old 80s Ford F250 I think they're epic boss if I use the term correctly. So big and angry looking.

 

I had a rental one for some reason or other. I put a surfboard on that car. Probably not the best policy for rentals, but you gotta do what ya gotta do. I don't surf anymore on account of my back, but if I did and if I had it to do over again I would have just called them and asked permission. Lol. I think they ought to let you do that. The board didn't touch the roof anyway. I had one of those nylon FCS padded thing-a-majigs.

 

canadian hearses must look different than they do here. around here they look more like 1980s station wagons.

 

American!!

 

yeah that's not too far from what i'm picturing. the ones i'm thinking of just look a little boxier than that, at least the way i'm remembering them.

station wagon is not really a perfect comparison, but i can't think of anything better.

 

^ is that the pope's hearse?

 

if youre asking me...i have no idea

i just googled to see if clown car had a hearse version

 

Here's a palindrome for you...

A Toyota

 

I've always wanted a hearse I nearly had one a 67 Pontiac with fins and white rims. My dad said it was too much work for me to do when I was 16

 

I thought the fold down windshields were to make it easier for gunmen to shoot forward in a seated position, during the war. You could be right though about the shipping.

Willys takes wayyyy too much credit for pioneering the Jeep though. The government stole American Bantam's prototype drawings for the original Jeep, and gave it to Ford and Willys. This is one of the Bantam Prototypes

 

and then toyota made the best version in the fj40/bj42 version of the landcruiser

i passed my driver road test with a bj42

 

it was pretty much a rhetorical. the car just kind of reminded me of the popemobile.

 

I’m suddenly reminded of that 2013 story involving a man who tried to legally marry his Ford Truck.

On the marriage license he put his future wife’s place of birth as Detroit, Michigan. Occupation; DMV, Wife’s Father’s name: Henry Ford,
Wife’s mother’s Name: Clara Jane Ford, Blood type: 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil, Social Security Number: VIN Number

The Town Clerk’s office became suspicious and his request was denied - true story

 

the only 'car' that would 'fit me as a person' would be a long bed, cargo type version, of a mini-van,
with reinforced off road suspension, and optionally all wheel drive. oh and all electric too, with a swap out battery pack,
so one could be on the charger while driving around with the other, and onboard solar to trickle charge the one in use also.
and it would need a range of at least a couple of hundred miles.

it wouldn't have to be able to go super fast, just fast enough to be legal on the interstate.
(by all electric i don't mean a bunch of powered accessories, i mean totally electric traction, no burning of dead dinosaurs)

a world that would 'fit me as a person' would not require having a car to live out in the woods and get to the store and haul stuff home.
(nor would it require wealth, symbolic value, nor trying to impress anyone)

 

A car is only as good as the person driving it....

I tend to like those old fashioned styles in styles of cars........
MeAgain's photo looked more hearse like, imo.
