If you could have three cars....
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 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.

Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Most likely all the same.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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

Daily: I hate moderns so something 80s or early 90s, like an 89 Camry

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.

For daily driving, a Ford Crown Vic (the police version is indestructable, or at least for the 18x xxx miles my '99 has right now), Dodge Charger RT (maybe less reliable, but a bit faster), Mercury Marauder or this:


As a utility: F-150 Raptor, Humvee, Hummer H1 Alpha

And for dream car:
