Title: If you could have three cars....
Post by: Nuclear1 on August 30, 2010, 07:39:44 pm: I think we did this at one point as part of the "what do you drive?" thread, but let's do it again!

If you had to pick three cars, one being a daily driver, the second a family/utility car, and the third being your dream car/weekender, what would they be?

EDIT: Oh yeah, probably oughta put mine down too.

DD: Toyota Prius or Nissan Leaf. (For just a neighborhood cruising car, a simple solar-powered NEV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhood_Electric_Vehicle) would do just fine though)

Utility: Keeping my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Ext Cab, 318 CID V8, 4x4 Auto.

Dream car: Late 60s convertible DeVille.

Most likely all hybrids.

Everybody and their dog has a flashy car around here. I mean Jesus, I see people driving Bentleys around Poway. Bentleys for chrissakes. I don't want flashy, I want it to run, cheaply, forever.

Post by: achtung on August 31, 2010, 12:16:09 am: Daily: Jetta TDi
Utility: A new Jeep Cherokee (if only)/Grand Cherokee
Dream Car: M1A4 Abrams? Don't really keep up with sports cars considering they're all well above any realistic price range for me.

Post by: newman on August 31, 2010, 11:29:25 am: Shelby GT390, for all three categories. Well, might have a '54 Gullwing on the side for special occasions. Realistically though, I wouldn't mind a Mazda 2 for day to day driving needs :)

Post by: Kosh on August 31, 2010, 12:46:58 pm: For daily driving a full electric car should be enough. For the second car it would be something that can do a little off roading on the weekends, if I end up doing that in the distant future.

As for a dream car, I seriously have no idea. I wouldn't really need anything more than those two I mentioned, even that's a long way off.

Utility car: Hilux Invincible or a Land Rover Defender

Title: Re: If you could have three cars....
Post by: IceFire on August 31, 2010, 06:13:35 pm: Daily: A sporty mid-sizer... a 2010 Fusion, 2010 Legacy or a 2010 Mazda6. In the future I'm hoping that the next-gen Fusion will be amazing and take this hands down.

Utility: Something like a Mazda5 or projecting into the future: A Ford C-MAX.

Dream car: Right now... I think an Audi A5 Cabriolet.

Post by: Black Wolf on August 31, 2010, 09:09:50 pm: Daily: Hot Hatch of some kind, Probably an XR-5 Focus or a Golf GTi
Utility (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_%28car%29): FPV Super Pursuit, or maybe a proper off-roader - I have a new V8 Toyota Landcruiser for work, which is awesome.
Dream Car: Lotus Evora

Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on August 31, 2010, 10:02:07 pm: Daily what I have now a 93 S-10. I've beat the crap out of that thing and the only dent in it was from some idiot totaling my Dad's car into the back of the truck. Bent the 2 ton rated rear bumper. Believe me as many times as I backed into the telephone pole at the bar that was a hard hit. And what idiot puts a phone pole in the middle of a bar lot.
?utility: Original Hummer with military suspension none of that cheap knockoff crap. If I want to mount a 50 to it the hardware should be there.
Weekend. WW2 army jeep just because they were so dang cool.

Now if we go out on a limb I'll replace the jeep with a M1a1

Post by: Roanoke on September 01, 2010, 04:16:08 pm: Daily: I hate moderns so something 80s or early 90s, like an 89 Camry (http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/3_89-Toyota-Camry.jpg)

Utility: No thanks, no need. Actually a small van could be handy. Like a Transit Connect or some such.

Dream: My Silvia S12 Turbo, when it's completed (and I do everything I want to do to it). Or either an R32 GTR or S13 Silvia.
