Re: What kind of car do you drive??
As of right now I am not driving anything. However me and a friend of mine have decided that we are going to find an old Dodge Charger 68'-72' and restore it with as many orginal parts as possible. So hopefully the first car I ever drive with a Licence will be a Dodge Charger with a nice 440 Big Block, hopefully with a 4 speed manual tranny. One can only hope right

Re: What kind of car do you drive??
Sorry Matt (I know you're a Jeep lover) but to be honest My dad has had some pretty big problems with his two Jeeps pretty early on. My mom has had a TON of problems on her 1994 Cadillac Seville SLS even though it just now turned 30K mi. I have had no problems yet with my Ford Ranger and I've seen probably about a dozen of them with over 200K mi and dozens more with well over 100K mi. In support of Jeeps, I have seen a few of those up in the 1 and 2 hundred thousands and I really like Jeeps still even though they may have some problems.
For all of you supporters of foreign cars with their super high tech variable valve timing and all that junk, get behind the wheel of an American V8 and you will be changed forever. There is nothing like the sound and power of an American V8; especially with dual Flowmasters. <insert Tim Allen grunting sound> Saddly for me, Ranger's don't come with V8s (yet, there is rumor they will for 2005 or 2006) but someday I may do a swap. I like American vehicles, mainly trucks, (1) because I fit in them and (2) because they just seem fit to a large strong person like myself. It freaks me out when I go look at these new Infinitis and you barely touch the door and it closes and you can't even hear the engine idling. I like a car where you have to slam the door closed and it's loud when you start it up and when it's running. And none of this unibody junk, if it doesn't have a standard ladder frame I'm not driving it. Oh, and IRS SUVs, forget about it. I can live with IFS but I won't be in favor of anything other than a solid axle out back. And traction control: If you're driving to the extent where you need that traction control, you are either not being careful, don't know how to drive, or need to make your schedule not so busy. If you are driving in the manner that you actually need the traction control, you should not be driving at all. Two more things, turn signals should be used at every corner, driveway entrance/exit, or lane change you perform. Where I live it is a beautiful day when you see someone signalling. It's a rarity around here. The second thing is the horn, people way over-use the horn. You should drive in a maner where you never have to use the horn. I have used it ONCE in the 14 or so months I have been driving my truck. The California driver's handbook says that the horn is only to be used in an emergency. Honking at someone because you're impatient or they are in your way is not an emergency. Well, that's all I have to say about cars and driving today, tune in next time folks! |
