Re: What kind of car do you drive??

My cars have changed since I last posted here.
I now have two cars that are quite different from each other, both of which get good gas mileage.

2010 Mini Cooper 6-speed manual
2010 Toyota Prius Two

1985 Mercedes Benz 300SD Turbo-Diesel
It has a Straight-5 engine (Yes It is a 5 cylinder car). When I first got it, It had a bad transmission(slipped out of 3rd, and could never get to 4th). My father and I replaced it, now it just needs new brakes and a new windshield.

Re: What kind of car do you drive??

I currently have a 2004 Honda Accord. It's been in the family since then, but has only recently become my car:


My old car wasn't really "old" because it was also a 2004 model. It was a Pontiac Grand Am SE. I sold it when it still had five digits on the odometer- 99,960 miles. Good car, and never had to replace anything it except two tires (didn't know how old the old ones were and decided to play it safe), get a scrape fixed on the driver side near the back tire (got hit pretty good while parked at school), a new radio (the factory radios have very faulty displays because the replacement also died quickly), and the oil in two and a half years of owning it:

Do you burn fryer oil in it? A former team member had a similar car, and he used fryer oil from his parents' restaurant. It would coagulate, though, in unusually cold weather here in Florida, and he'd mix some regular diesel fuel with the other stuff. You have to filter the particles from the fryer oil, but those old Mercedes seem to burn it ok. I hear that the newer car diesels, like VW TDI's and the current M-B's are much more picky about fuel than the older M-B's.
